BELLES OF ST. MARY’S February 24, 1961 THIS MEANS YOU! R-Roaring Success’^ To whom it may concern: Stealing is at best an odious crime, unacceptible by any society be it radical, conservatives, or reactionary! It is bard to define steal ing, however, and often we eschew it in principle but accept it in prac tice. I am not saying here that the average individual defends Brinks robbery, but rather that he lets pass unnoticed the small everyday thefts. I read an interesting article in a recent Saturday Evening Post relating the billion dollar loss that department stores suffer every year from petty thievery. This is the type of stealing upon which we at St. Mary’s need to reflect. The Senior Little Store is over three hundred dollars in the red! This is neither from mismanagement nor from prices reduced below a profit margin. The loss stems directly from petty thievery! How easy it is for us to pick up a candy bar or some pretzels in the pell-mell rush after chapel every morning and forget to pay. I say “forget” because I would honestly say that eight out of ten of the store’s losses stem from someone reasoning “I’ll pay tomorrow” with tomorrow never coming. It is everyone’s individual responsibility to stop these miniature felonies which have added up to such a grave deficit. It is also everyone’s responsibility to support any project that the Little Store Committee may choose in an attempt to remedy their loss. Concernedly, Mary Anne Carter ^^Dignity and the Worth of the Individual” In a school where we believe in the dignity and the worth of the individual, it is tragic when we realize that some of us value ma terial possessions more than per sonal integrity. We are all familiar with Exodus, 10:15, God’s Com mandment: Thou shalt not steal. AVhen we appropriate something to ourselves secretly, we are not “bor rowing” •— we are stealing! Our greedy hands have taken material goods from the Senior Little Store and from girls on the halls of St. Mary’s. Why risk future happiness for possession of an object? We are so greedy for present delight that we are indifferent to lasting blessed ness. We are deceiving ourselves in the face of temptation. We are choosing the worse when we know the better. The values we cherish will not survive without the con stant attention of each of us at St. Mary’s. Let’s not refuse any opportunity of service which may offer itself today, nor fall prey to any temp tation that may lie in wait for us. Do not let the sins of yesterday be repeated in the life of today, nor the life of today set any evil example to the life of tomorrow. Have You Heard or Seen? Heard: Susan Goode every Saturday morning very early. Seen; Trudy Johnson attending as sembly. Seen: Mr. Connelly smoking Marl- boros. Seen: Missy Williamson’s pictures. Help! Heard: Something brewing at the KA House. Xot Heard: Barbara Brittain Heard; A loud “meow” on 2nd Smedes. Thursday, February 16, three girls from the first year dramatics class presented the prologue from Shaw’s “Androcles and the Lion.” The play takes place during the persecution of the Christians. While Androcles and his wife, Meggy, are running away. Andy (Jane Norman) and IMeggy (Ann Farmer) meet a ferocious (????) lion (Cleve Fletcher), who has a hurt paw. An amusing scene fol lows between Andy and the lion until they finally waltz off into the forest together chased by Andy’s “wifey-pifey.” Congratulations, girls, for a truly “r-r-roaring” success.
