(,! ^‘^ditional committees will be soon, and then long hours of Stade Coack To ke Surprise As we all know the United Daugh ters of the Confederacy is an organi zation consisting of women whose grandfathers, and great grandfathers and other kin folk took part in the War Between The States. Each year the U.D.C. holds a con vention in Richmond, Va. Sons and daughters of the members act as pages throughout the five day conven tion. Two of our St. Mary’s girls, Linda Lunsford of Clarkesville, Ga. and Lou Johnson, of Burgaw, N. C., both seniors attended this year as pages. They left for Richmond November 10 and stayed through November 15. They had a busy schedule awaiting them during these 5 days. First on the agenda, Sunday after noon, November 10, Lou, Linda and the other girls assisted at Memorial Services at St. Paul’s Church in Rich mond. Bright and early Monday there was a meeting of all the Convention Pages in the Roof Garden of the John Mar- I shall Hotel, where the girls stayed. Monday night at 8:00 P.M. was Open ing Evening. At this exercise the Pages 'vere presented to the convention. Tuesday at 12:30 P.M. there was a Children of the Confederacy Lunch eon. Tuesday evening after the Pro cessional, the Pages were excused to attend “The Pages’ Ball.” The Pages play a big part in the Smooth running of a U.D.C. Conven- tion. They have many heavy duties during the business sessions of the I Convention. We certainly are glad to have two such fine girls from St. Mary’s to attend the convention representing ^beir home chapter of the Confeder acy. Religious Books Added to Likrary The St. Mary’s library has received several new books on religion which may be used in Dr. Guerry’s Bible classes. Of interest would be two volumes concerning the recently dis covered Dead Sea Scrolls, The Dead Sea Scrolls, by Millar Burrows, and The Dead Sea Scriptures in English Translation, compiled by Theodor H. Gaster. The former is an account of the finding of the scrolls and their history with a discussion on the people who wrote them, plus the translations of the most interesting scrolls and is particularly good for the content of the scrolls. Volume 12 of The Interpreter’s Bible, published by the Abingdon Press, includes a commentary on James; First and Second Peter; First, Second, and Third John; Jude; and Revelation plus general articles in cluding articles on the Dead Sea Scrolls, history, and illustrations. This series of books will prove very useful in the interpretation of the Bible, ot which Volume 12 is the last. ice begin. Another good commentary on the Bible is The Abingdon Bible Com mentary, edited by Eisdlen, Lewis, and Downey. This is a concise, yet com plete volume which is recommended by Dr. Guerry. An understanding and knowledge of the great religions of the world Christianity, Buddhism, Confucianism, Hinduism, Jainism, Judaism, Mo- hamedanism (Islam), Shintoism, Toa- ism, and Zoroastrianism — may be found in The Wisdom of ‘he Livmg Religions, by Joseph Gaer. This book “shows how all the living religions, in spite of their diversity in form and ritual, agree in their essential ethics . officers Elected. Orckesis Pi ans Since having had their pictures made for the Stage Coach, everyone has begun to wonder what this year’s annual will be like. Of course every thing about it is kept a big secret, and not one of the 103 staff members will give you even a little hint. The Stage Coach is one of the three publications at Saint Mary’s, and it will be a great thrill when we receive our copy class day. Sally Barnes is Editor-in-Chief of the 1956 Stage Coach, and she hopes that it is really going to be great. The heads of the committees are: Ann Lynch, Business Manager; Mary Bahnsen, Picture Staff; Kit Tiedeman, Snapshots; Judy Scott, Creative Writ ing; Nancy Atkinson, Senior Writers; Sallie Rembert, Art; Betty Van Wage- nen. Copy Readers; Sally Lewis, Typ ing. The glee club held election of offi cers recently. The new president is Sue Sandlin, secretary is Helen Jones, and the librarians are Ruth Whitley and Dana Borden. There was a good turnout for the club, and it is going to be a very good group. It is certain ly lucky to have Mrs. Hafley back as its accompanist. There are big plans in store for the year. Besides assisting in the Christ mas program, the glee club will com bine with the State College glee club and give a program in the spring. The possibility of putting on a Gilbert and Sullivan Operetta is also being con sidered. The glee club did many things last year to make the school proud of it. They sang for a men’s church group, gave a Christmas program, appeared on television, gave a program at Fort Bragg, sang at the dedication of Penick Hall, and gave the commencement program. A lot of hard work went into all these activities, but under the direction of Miss Cate the glee club did well. The Belles hopes that everyone will support the glee club this year. It takes hard work to give a program that people will enjoy. The girls who are in it deserve a lot of credit. St. Mary’s will again have a glee club to be proud of this year! Miss Wilkins Visits Saint Mary's Sckool St. Mary’s was honored to have Miss Georgia Wilkins of Columbus, Georgia pay a visit to the campus. She roamed the grounds looking at all the improvements that have been made recently. Her main interest, however, was seeing the Penick Hall parlors, for Miss Wilkins most gen erously contributed the money that made these lovely decorations pos sible. Miss Wilkins left St. Mary’s at the end of her junior year in 1900. She remembers the days when St. Mary’s was just Smedes, the Rocks, the chapel, and the library building. Al though much of the outside appear ance has changed, the spirit and the friendliness of St. Mary’s girls re mains. Miss Wilkins’ grandmother and mother also attended St. Mary’s. We all appreciate Miss Wilkins’ spirit of generosity. She said, “I con sider it a great privilege to do things for St. Mary’s; St. Mary’s meant so much to me.” Almost every individual here has felt either directly or in directly the influence of Miss Wilkins, especially the girls in new Penick. We can all realize how fortunate St. Mary’s is to have the support of such a wonderful person, and we wish to express our deep gratitude for her contribution to the improvement of the school. Ckristmas Prodram Orchesis is presenting “Santa Claus Land” for their Christmas pro gram in December, and are now in the midst of getting dances, music, and costumes ready. There are five dances which repre sent the night before Christmas at Santa’s home. Two dances are by toys, one by elves and reindeers. Santa and his wife also take a round of the house. Santa Claus is portrayed by Memrie Moser and Mrs. Santa by Virginia Allen. They will choreograph their own dance. The elve’s dance is choreo graphed by Chee Davis and Edith Alston. They are Anna Thompson, Millie Fary, Dottie Yeamon, Eliza beth Blake, Judy Scott, Octavia Phil lips, Hadley Morgan, and Corleton Savage. Mory Dale and Nancy Page ' Hopkins are choreographing the Rein deers, who are Jessie Allen, Jane Brady, Cinda Henderson, Winnie Lightfoot, Frankie Wands, Linda Lunsford, and Bard Gatling. The toy dances are “Jack in the Box” by Dot Hicks and Eleanor Bul lock and danced by Michael Gardner McDaniel; “Dolls” by Joy Little with Catherine Backstraw, Sybil Mathis and Naney Coston and “Toy Soldiers” by Dot Overback with Jenny White hurst, Bibi Walker and Catherine Pot ter. The dolls and toy soldiers are combined and make up one dance. The setting is by Anna Thompson, chairman and Judy Scott, Hadley Morgan, and Dottie Yeamans. Cos tumes are by Octavia Phillips, chair man and Cinda Henderson, Corleton Savage, and Frankie Wands. Mrs. Baily is assisting all the girls and is the main backbone along with Jo Burguwyn, President of Orchesis. Everything falls back on them, but they are doing an exceptionally good job. Staff Clarif les Petitionind P rocess The question of getting a petition passed has been asked by many stu dents. In order to clarify this point, the Belles staff has decided to print an article explaining this procedure. First of all, a petition drawn up and signed by at least six students, is given to a legislative body member. She in turn submits this to the petition committee where it is recorded in the proper form. Next the petition is given back to the legislative body where it is read and studied thorough ly- The body either passes the petition or rejects it. If it is passed, then it is earried to Dr. Stone. He then either passes or rejects it. If he passes it, then the petition goes into effect the day it is read to the entire Student Body.
