HONOR WEEK OBSERVED
NOVEMBER 16 - 20
Honor Week at St. Mary’s began
on Monday, November 16 and ends
on Saturday, November 21. Its pur
pose is to emphasize honor not only
in the classrooms, but also in all the
everyday activities of students at St.
Mary’s. During Honor Week several
speeches were given in chapel and
assembly which helped to explain
and show the different aspects of
honor. In assembly Harriet Gilliam,
vice-president of the Student Govern
ment Association, and Dianne Ricks,
chairman of the Honor Board, gave
speeches on the mechanics of the
Honor Board and the intangible as
pects of honor. Also in assembly
sjreeches were given by Lucy Brown
and Carol Wilson on the double ob
ligation of the honor system and the
effects of an Honor Board case.
In addition to the speeches, the
Circle gave out blotters with the
Honor Code on them as a constant
reminder of the honor system and
what it represents. Signs with say
ings pertaining to honor were posted
around the school to remind the stu
dents of Honor Week.
Play To Usher In Holidays
For the past two months there
have been a group of people who
have been steadily working for the
benefit of those at St. Mary’s. The
time is nigh, November the 24th,
when the package will open, the cur
tain will rise, and the denouement
will unravel. , , i
The occasion is the night that the
first St. Mary’s play of the year,
“Only an Orphan Girl,” will be pre
sented to the faculty and students.
Under Mrs. Stamey’s direction, the
actors and actresses have diligently
worked. Those participating are:
Mr. Connelly, a language teacher at
St Mary’s, as Arthur Rutherford;
Don Stone, a student from North
Carolina State, as Dick Perkins; Mr.
Robert Weems, a Raleigh person
ality, as Swem Perkins; Lyndy Sten-
snn as Nellie, the heroine; Debbie
Ellis as Ethel Rutherford; Jean
Muchmore as Mrs. Perkins Ellen
Tones as -VEidow Appleby; and Vicky
Arnold as Lucy- the girls all be
ing students at St. Marys. Ruth
Little and Jody Burton have aided
the success of the play behind the
stage. .
The villian - loves-the-heroine-but-
alas'-the hero-saves-the-day play is a
soul stirring melodrama m which
good overcomes evil m four acts. In
Wtween acts, outside entertainment
and talent will be given.
Student Government at St. Mary’s
is based on the Honor System in
which every girl is responsible for
her own actions. When she comes to
St. Mary’s each girl takes an Honor
Code Oath in which she pledges
herself to maintain the highest stan
dards of personal integrity and to co
operate in fulfilling her responsibil
ities as part of the student govern
ment. It is only when a girl lails to
live up to this responsibility that the
Honor Board is necessary.
The Honor Board is composed of
students and faculty members, and
its duties are to consider violations ot
the Honor Code and to take action
to maintain the high level of student
conduct. The meetings of the Honor
Board are secret for the protection of
the students involved, but the cases
are presented to the student body af
ter the Honor Board reaches a de
cision. After considering a case the
Honor Board can acquit the student,
issue a severe warning, suspend, or
expel her. All decisions of the Honor
Board must pass by a 2/3 majority
vote, one vote of which must be that
of a faculty member. The President
of the College must approve any ac
tion of the Honor Board before it
goes into effect. The Honor Board is
a student organization for the protec
tion of the students and the high
standards at St. Mary’s. The Honor
Board asks the cooperation of the en
tire student body in keeping these
standards high.

tournament Nov. 4 with their third
