BELLES OF ST. MARY’S May 1, 1959 In Memoriam Every once in a while there is a person with a character so strong and well loved that he leaves be hind him wherever he goes an en during impression which touches the lives of everyone who knows him. We at St. Mary’s have been fortunate in that such a person has long been a part of our life here at school and, for many, at home also. This person was Bishop Ed win A. Penick, whose recent death was a blow felt in the Episcopal Churches around the nation. Bishop Penick, residing for years in the Bishop’s House on the corner of the eamj)us, became a vital part of the spirit that is St. Mary’s. His presence was felt every day around the campus, and when we were so fortunate as to have him take time out from his constant duties around the diocese to come and speak to us in our chapel, his winning per sonality left a vivid impression on the spirit of the girls. Although he will not be with us any more at services or at graduation, we can not feel that he is any the less with us in spirit, for indeed the work and influence which he left behind have become a permanent and un changing aspect of life at St. Alary’s. Bishop Penick will be re membered here as one of the great contributors to the development of our school, as well as one of the most universally beloved personali ties it has ever been our privilege to know. Let’s Qive Our Best To The Very Last! The four years which St. Alary’s covers in a girl’s schooling are the most imjjortant years of our entire education, and each of these four years has an influence far greater than we realize on our future life. In a few short weeks every girl here will finish one of these great steps in her education and the maturing of her character, and she will leave it forever and unchangeably behind her. What sort of year will each of us leave in her past? What have we got to show for the past months? True, there are many who have worked hard and well and sensibly and who have the knowledge that they have used this opportunity to the best of their ability; but the majority of us students, if we are perfectly honest with ourselves, know that we could have studied a little harder, cared a little more, and gotten an even greater benefit out of this school year. AVell, now it’s almost over. Alore than ever, it will be tempting in these fleeting weeks to let our work slide, to let spring fever surround us with laziness, to tell ourselves that the damage is done, we can’t do any good in this little remaining time. But it’s not too late! There’s no excuse for slackness now. We have the better half of a quarter left in which to make a better effort than we have made all year. This quarter is actually the most important of the whole year for the very reason that wo have our last and greatest opportunity to pull ourselves together and finish the year successfully. Shape up! Stop sitting around idly feeling sorry for yourself andi start doing some honest work. If each one of us did her best from now until ithe day we leave, the grades would rise, the spirit of the school would soar, and we would all have a happier memory to take with us or to leave behind for others of this ’58-’59 school session. This is our last and best chance, so let’s all, each one of us, give it all we’ve got! Happy Birthday To: Alay 2— Alimi Havens and Frances B.
