Students Take Handbook Tests Who Would YOU Like To Be?
Wednesday, September 27, saw
about three hundred and seventy
girls wandering through the halls
with eyes glued to the Handbook!
Why? That was the day of the an
nual Handbook test. This year
drastic changes were made in the
administering of the test. It was
given in classrooms, and every girl
was assigned a number. The pur
pose of these numbers was to facili
tate the process of recording the
grades and assigning the places for
the tests to be given. The numbers
served anonymity so that girls who
failed would not be embarrassed
because they did not know campus
regulations.
The test was given in two parts.
The first concerned on-campus
regulations, and the second con
cerned off-campus regulations. This
division was made in order that
there would be less to learn for
each test.
Many girls do not realize the
importance of knowing the Hand
book. Every girl is held responsible
for the entire book, not to give her
something else to learn, but to en
sure the smooth-working of our
student activities and school life.
When one girl does not know the
book-store hours or the procedure
for leaving campus overnight, a
lot of extra, unnecessary work is
made for someone who has to clear
up the problems made by this one
student. Everything in the Hand
book is important, and it should bo
followed with attention.
The results of the test were good.
Only 18 of the boarding students
failed, and 10 day students. All of
the boarding students that failed
the first test made at least a 90 on
the retest. A humorous aspect to
the tests was the chuckles the
counselors had while grading the
tests. Did you know that skipping
chapel is an Honor Council offense,
and that the Library Offenses are
dealt with by the “Detention”
Committee? Have you heard the
new version of “Hail, St. Mary’s!”
“In a grove of fine oak trees.
Where the sunshine’s free;
Stands St. Mary’s true and nobel
Neath the southern heavens.
“Far and distant we wander
Chorus rings free and clear.
Hail, St. Mary’s, Alma Mater
Hail, All Hail to Thee”
Another fact that might interest
all is that according to one girl it
is necessary to remain in the parlor
until 9:30 p.m. if you return to
campus during Sunday quiet hour.
I hope that this last example
makes it clear to all why it is
necessary that everyone know the
contents of the Handbook. Such
knowledge will certainly eliminate
much confusion.

EDITOR INVITES
ALL TO MEET
MUSES OF THE
MUSE
The staff of the archaic Aluse,
St. Alary’s “long-hair” magazine is
open to anyone with teased or bub
bled hair who can read or write,
(likewise, type or draw).
Our meetings, held under a blue
light behind the green door of Aliss
Jones’ sanctum (E.W. 042) every
Tuesday night, are mystic sessions.
Shades of Ferlinghetti, Faulkner,
Caldwell, and Louisa Alay Alcott
pass through the hallowed portals,
and Wolfe and Alother Goose are
frequent visitors. These sessions are
fraught with peril for those failing
to produce some literary effort;
however, the criticism of these un
flinching souls is always welcomed.
Shakespeare, Bacon, Dewey, and
Air. Connelly arc misquoted: but,
many new works of art are brought
to light.
Polyhymnia, our particular Aluse,
inspires our tlioughts to creativity
and, when words fail, Erato fills
our pens with love sonnets.
This Aluse is not ours. She’s been
here for sometime and seems to
visit both Penick and Smedes reg
ularly. Recently she’s also been
seen in Holt and rumor hath that
her feet have worn their paint in
the stej)s of both Rocks.
We, the staff, would like to invite
all of you to meet our Aluse(s).
Amusedly,
AI-J Dcadwyler
