BELLES OF ST. MARY’S October 14, 1960 WELCOME ATT,!! First of all, as editor, I would like to extendi a “welcome to St. Mary s ’ to all the new students and faculty members, and I would like to extend a “welcome back to St. Mary’s” to all the old students and faculty members from the entire Belles staff. As editor, I want each and every member of “St. Mary’s Family” to remember that the Belles is their newspaper. Therefore, we (the Belles stall) want its contents to contain your activities and the schools activi- ties. We want you to enjoy the entire newspaper—even the editorial! In order to achieve such a utopia, your suggestions, comments, and criti cisms are necessary. Give them not just to your roommates and friends, but to the members of the Belles Staff. We in turn will do our very best to carry out your ideas in order to make, the Belles of ’60-’61 “better than ever.” In a few more weeks the United States will elect a new president. Evot though the students here at St. Mary’s won’t be voting, we will probably be having our own conventions with all the “noise makers” ^at go with them. Your opinions should be expressed in print. The Belles would like to feature the Y. R. C. and the Y. D. C. in the next issue. Let’s see how St. Mary’s expresses herself concerning the election! Let^s Lose Weight! Y.R.C. Begins Campaign Nearly one hundred enthusiastic girls gathered in the St. Mary’s gym to form The Young Republic an Club of 1960-61. The following officers were elected: President: Barbara Brittain Vice President: Brandy McKin ley Secretary: Sallie Harper Treasurer: Sheff Wilson The club voted its unanimous support of Richard M. Nixon and Henry Cabot Lodge for the nation al ticket and of Robert L. Gavin for governor of North Carolina. The Y. R. C.’s feel that Mr. Nixon’s training and his travels throughout the world and Mr. Lodge’s long experience as Ambas sador to the United Nations make them best qualified to protect our country’s interests in dealing with other nations. The club also feels that the Nix- on-Lodge platform can better meet the needs of the people on a local level without excessive centraliza tion of power in Washington. Mr. John U. Tate, who agreed to act as club adviser, met with the club Tuesday afternoon at which time he offered his wholehearted support to the group. Altar Guild Sets Up Schedule St. Mary’s Altar Guild met at the beginning of school to arrange the necessary schedules for the coming school year. The Altar Guild is composed of seniors who are inter ested in serving or caring for the chapel. It is their job to work with Dr. Guerry and Miss Basson and help make the chapel an important center in the lives of the students at St. Mary’s. This year’s president of the Al tar Guild is Charlotte Thorne, and Co-Chairman Arden Fobes and the advisor is Miss Basson. The follow ing committees are: Brass, Janet Dawson, Chairman; Silver, Hadley Morgan, Chairman; Flowers, Jo Anne Rochow, Chairman; Linen, Ann Cameron Boweman, Chair man; Books, Julie Miller, Chair- rnan; Crucifers, Anna Cay Henry, Head; and Acolytes, Forrest Wil liamson, Head Acolyte. The mem bers of the Altar Guild are: Aluff Nabers, Betsy Lynn, Jerry Mc Combs, Emily Nelson, Trudy John son, Leslie Redding, G. G. Saund ers, Julia Worth, Gay Davis, Jackie Polk, Anne Metts, Kay Land, Betty Lynch, Becky Elmore, Amelia Yancey, Mary Ann Carter, Vicky Chubb, Susan Keel, Mary Brodie Jones, Susan Poe, Margaret Atkinson, Jill Holcombe, Marion Miller, Lila Wolff, Patsy Frank, Chasey Allen, Jane Harris, Edith Kellermann, Frances Douglass, Jo anna Dayvault, Barbara Britton, Carol Hardy, Li Li Ridenhour, Vir ginia McKimmon, Brandy McKin ley, Sheffield Wilson, Mary Lee Hinson, Ann Benson, and Jackie Polk. In this day and age of modern woman, there is a trend toward the slim-trim look. This look is empha sized in “Be Sociable” ads, fashion magazines, beauty columns, and even Playboy. So what do you do about the extra poundage that has been acquired through various means? The answer is simple—you enter the gymnastics class. Those who participate in the activities are commonly known as “gymspastics” and a lovely crew they are! The password is “ugh,” and the lan guage used is “Can’t do it,!” “Ouch,!” “What’s the use.?” and assorted and sundry profanities. The leader of the group is Mrs. Bailey, w h o claims t o have gained seventeen pounds during the summer. We don’t believe it, but it helps considerably the morale of those who gained thirty pounds. She is grace ful, limber, adept, and, in other words, the complete opposite of her followers. She knows what exercises will produce the best results for all. (That is to say, those which will produce the most soreness.) Of course, as she pointed out, if a girl carries on the program of exer cise every day, she will discover amazing results. Such differences are the loss of an inch in the bust, two inches in the neck, or the gain of an inch in the arms, feet, or thighs. Yes, gymnastics is a worthwhile class and should be taken by every one (unless you can get into Mod ern Dance!). You will feel better and look better . . . and please pass the Metracal! R.C.M.A. Selects Schedule The Raleigh Concert Music As sociation will offer four excellent programs this fall and winter. These concerts will be held in the Alemorial Auditorium, and a spec ial bus will transport those St. Mary’s girls who have purchased tickets. The first of these will be on No vember 2 given by Eileen Farrell, a soprano of great merit. On Feb ruary 1, the Robert Joffre Ballet with a company of twenty-five d,ancers will be presented. The third program, on February 24, will fea ture Jorge Bolet, pianist. Mr. Bolet is well known for the beautiful mu sic in the Columbia motion picture. Song Without End. The last of the series of concerts, March 23, will have the Cleveland Symphony Or chestra conducted by George Szell. This orchestra was called “one of the world’s greatest orchestras” by the New York Times. It is quite evident that St. Mary’s students and the citizens of Raleigh will see some of the finest musical entertainment there this season. is Wins Mink Airs. Harlan Brown, one of St. Mary’s librarians, won a mink stole this summer at the National Librarian Convention that was held in Montreal, Canada. THE BELLES OF ST.

Pep Rally Starts Year All the screaming and yelling heard on Tuesday night, October 4, was the start of the Sigma-Mu rally. The Letter Club President, the Sigma and, AIu cheerleaders, and the Sigma and Mu officers were introduced to the student body- Refreshments were served to the “music” of the “Cold Cuts.” The result of the rally was a few hoarse voices, but a lot of enjoyment. The Sigma-Mu soccer tourna ment will begin in a few weeks, and all girls are urged to try out for the team when the date is announced- !Many tournaments and meets win be held this year, along with Sigma-Chi Derby at State College- Support your team.
