£.E^..^E3 OF ST. MARY’S
FEBRUARY 12, I960
Our Thanks For Easter
The students of St. Alary’s want to express their sincere apprecia
tion to the faculty and Dr. Stone for giving us the opportunity to spend
the major portion of Holy Week with our families in our homes. We
feel that we are fortunate to have an administration that will consider
our thoughts and requests and take the action, after careful deliberation,
which it feels will be most beneficial and advantageous to the student
body.
Tradition is one of the most cherished aspects of St. Mary’s which
the students enjoy; however, when the need to alter an accustomed jiat-
tein arises, the student body maintains the right to express their convic
tions on the matter to a sympathetic administration. To abuse this
right would not be justifiable.
The period of time which we have been given should be spent in quiet
meditation on the days ]ireceding Easter Day and in happy rejoicing on
Sunday, the climax of Holy Week. This is a period of self-examination,
a time of realization and improvement of the many failings which we
all share. The occasion has been given us to execute this enrichment of
oui spiiitual lives with those with whom we are most intimate—our
families. For this we are extremely grateful.
Committee Studies
Constitution
The Constitution Committee,
composed of tlie Vice-President of
tlie Student Government, three or
more students appointed by the
President of the Student Govern
ment, and two faculty members a]i-
pointed by the President of the
school, studies the Constitution and
suggests possible changes which
are presented to the Legislative
Body. Alembers of this committee
for the present school year are Ann
Hauser, chairman; Polly Fulker
son; Beverly Bunn; Patsy Frank;
Bea Foote; and Mrs. .John Cell and
Miss Edith Richardson.
The committee is working with
the changes suggested by the Elec
tions Committee. One of these
changes presented is to elect the
Chairman of Legislative Body by
the student body in the spring.
The Committee is also consider
ing and studiying a petition drawn
U]) by the sophomores. The sopho
mores would like to have one more
representative to the Legislative
Body than they now have. This
increase means the class would
then have the president and two
representatives to the I^egislative
Body.
After the Committee has made
definite decisions, these decisions
will be presented to the Legislative
Body, and if approved, they will
be referred to Dr. Stone for final
approval. The work of the Consti
tutional Committee must be com
pleted and submitted to the Legis
lative Body no later than five
weeks before Commencement.
Letter Club Gives
Program
The beatniks of “Pooped Lloyd’s
Pad” bopped and jived for the stu
dent body in an assembly at the
first of .January. Talents were dis-
played in many ways. Some Letter
Club members entertained the “au
dience” with their unusual and
unique poems on “blobs,” “birdies”
and H^O, while the other members
accompanied these talented poets
on their “beat” instruments. The
“ivory keyboard” was kept bounc-
iiig iw tlie talented fingers of
“Bird” Roberson.
Dining Room
Committee Begins
Plans
The Dining Room Committee,
which was organized in the fall,
consists of Bea Foote, chairman;
Alargaret Alidget, junior represen
tative; Betsy Nickels, sopnomore
representative; and Sally Quillan,
freshman rej)resentative.
The committee has been divided
into three groups. The first one is
concerned with the appearance of
the students at meals. The second
group is to handle the suggestions
and food in general. The attitude
of the waiters and waitresses to
ward the students and vise-versa
is the main concern of the third
group.
The purj)ose of this committee is
to act as a means for the students
to convey their ideas on the dining
room system to the administration.
The committee plans to put a sug
gestion box in the basement of
Smedes in the near future for the
students to use. It is asked that
all suggestions be signed so that
any idea may be discussed by the
coimnittee and the student origin
ating the idea.
It is hoped that, if this commit
tee is a success, there will be a
number of such committees form
ed to discuss all phases of campus
life.
Classes Try To Raise
Money
With the beginning of second
semester classes the freshmen,
sophomores, and seniors resumed
their class projects. The freshmen
will be selling hot dogs after study
hall on Tuesday and Thursday
nights; the sophomores will be sel
ling sandwiches at eleven o’clock
on Friday nights and at eleven and
twelve o’clock on Saturday nights;
the seniors will be operating the
Ihttle Store as usual.
The juniors sold St. Mary’s ash
trays during first semester, and
this semester they plan to have a
“White Elej)hant Sale.” Because
of the unusual nature of this sale,
the juniors wish to wait to explain
in assembly, at which time the date
will also be announced.
