BELLES OF ST. MARY’S
"Discotheque” Hits
Campus
By Rosalie Hanley
In the midst of term papers and
Cramming for exams and the usual
hubbub of a typical day at St. Mary s,
I Was handed an assignment for the
Belles. “Writg an article on the
new ‘discotheque look,' " it said.
Thus, I was presented my CHAL
LENGE.
My first problem was to find out
how to pronounce the word. I could
not even ask somebody what it meant
n I could not pronounce it. So in my
niarvelous French accent I made a
stab at it. Obviously no one knew
'^hat I was talking about. I then
showed the word to five different
girls — I got four different pronuncia-
f'ons and a funny look.
. Fie on these St. Mary’s scholars!
I told myself, and went to an authori-
|?tive source. Mr. Webster, however,
hid not seem to have the vaguest idea
"'hat discotheque meant either. Then
P hit me; but no, even my trusty little
tench dictionary shed no light on
e subject. So onward I trod, to
, ctter sources. Mr. Connelly would

OUR'"" "
By Rae Herr'n
As almost everyone in school
knows, one of the two most unpop
ular weeks of the year approaches.
It is that week when students find
themselves scared to go to bed at
niqht, afraid of what the next da\|
will bring. It is that hated week of
exams. Exams, the very word makeii
students shake in their shoes. Exams
a;e the cause of the after Christma;!
depression, the reason students hate
the thought of coming back to school;
What is it about this tiny four letter
word that makes us so afraid of this
week? The answer varies with dif
ferent people. Some are afraid that
they will flunk, while some shudder
at the thought of so much studying,
Ellen Jones has this to say about
exams: “This year exams are going
to prove much more strenuous be
cause of the added stress of a high
school senior attempting to enter col
lege.” One senior wishes that teach
ers would not pile up the work just
before exams.
Some students do not really mind
exams. Gretchen Fracher says: “I just
prefer to think of exams as big tests,
and they don’t really bother me.”
Bryan Parker chooses to think about
the vacation after exams. Amey Par
sons thinks exam week is different:
“It is a good opportunity to find out
how much knowledge you have ac
quired. Of course it is quite a shock
when you wake up to the sudden
realization that you haven't acquired
very much! ”
One reconciliation for students is
that they get their revenge after the
exams are over as the teacher is left
with all the nice long papers to cor
rect. Teachers are also faced with the
problem of what questions to ask;
what were the most important things
studied this semester. Also, the teach
er must decide just what is required
to pass the exam, exactly what will be
the border line between passing and
failing. And girls, just think, while
we are out of school, enjoying our
selves on our break, all those English
and History papers must he graded!
