previous years.
After the silent prayer in the dark
ness, the hymn “Watchman, Tell Us
Of the Night,’’ was sung by solo
voices. Meanwhile, Dr. Guerry, from
a single light which represented
Christ, passed the light to three aco
lytes, who represented the Wise Men.
They then lit the lights of the mar
shals and their alternates, who repre
sented the twelve Apostles.
The Apostles went by the choir
and congregation and lit their tapers.
The tapers were held high and
straight which gave the church a
luminous effect. The idea behind the
lighting of the tapers was to show
how Christ’s love is radiated to all
the world.

"Gigi" Draws Crowd
EXAMS BRING SNOW
The first of the newly established
series of movies on campus was
shown Saturday, January 9, in the St.
Mary’s auditorium. Judging from the
large attendance, "Gigi, starring
Maurice Chevalier and Leslie Caron,
was considered to he a success. The
series, designed to provide entertain
ment for students, their dates and
guests is a “first for St. Mary s.
Movies are planned for every other
weekend avoiding conflicts with big
activities at other schools.
“Gigi” was highly publicized be
fore the Saturday night production.
Leaflets were placed in the mailboxes
and posters were put up in advan
tageous positions. Good publicity and
general enthusiasm attributed to
the success of “Gigi. ”
It is hoped that the students will
continue to support the rest of the
series and that each movie will be as
well received as “Gigi ” was. This
series provides an interesting and in
expensive diversion for each girl at
St. Mary’s. The next movie will be
shown after exams and may be
“Breakfast at Tiffanys” starring
Audrey Hepburn.
The weather report had said per
haps “snow, sleet, or rain.” A big
“if,” to be sure, with rain probably
the most likely result. But the St.
Mary’s girls crossed their fingers and
hoped with all their might for snow.
Evervone scanned the sky, trying to
see just one little snowflake.
North Carolina "pros ” how to make
snowballs and soon everyone was in
volved in the fun. Boys swarmed over
front campus (looking for snowball
fights!) and of course, the St. Mary’s
girls obliged them.

Einally, about mid-afternoon on
Friday, January 15, it began to snow
and continued all day Saturday and
on until early Sunday morning.
When the sun came out Sunday, St.
Mary’s sparkled in a brilliant coat of
soft white.
Walks and driveways became won
derful places to slide and many girls
took advantage of the slippery areas.
(The girls who limped to church on
Sunday were the ones who had not
quite mastered this “delicate tech
nique of sliding!)

To girls from Tampa, Miami and
cities of the Deep South, this “white
stuff” was really a novelty. One Flor
ida girl was so excited over seeing
snow for the first time that she ran
out into it and completely covered
herself with it. She later exclaimed,
“It’s not real. I just can't believe it! ’
as she walked through the white
drifts.
However, the snow did leave its
mark on some individuals. "Rudolph-
the-Reindeer” type noses, frostbitten
fingers and toes, frozen hair, pneu
monia, and of course, battle fatigue
in the good old pitching arm were
just a few of the ailments the girls
suffered afterwards.

FOCUS
(Continued from Page 2)
“Homosexuality is assuredly no ad
vantage, but it is nothing to he
ashamed of, no vice, no degradation,
it can not be classified as an illness.”
Nor did Dr. Kinsey regard all homo
sexuals as “psychologically sick. In
fact, many are able to lead useful,
well-adjusted lives.”
Our society in general, however,
does regard these homosexuals as
psychologically sick. A sizeable num
ber of cases ha\'c prot'cd treatment
which reverses the deviate to hetero
sexual behavior is of undeniable sig
nificance. Though regarded as sick,
nevertheless, they are treated as crim
inals. A four hundred year old law
with only one major change is North
Carolina’s answer to the problem of
homosexuality. (A discussion of the
law and homosexuals will follow in
the next issue.)
