Orientation Week Termed Big Success YauMig Repuhlican Cltth Is On Tlie Go By Debbie Ellis The St. Mary's chapter of the Young Republicans Club is for the purpose of communicating conserva tive ideas to members of the club and to other members of the student body. The Y.R.C. does not want to be a narrow-minded organization. It is the hope of the Y.R.C. that the members gain a further knowledge of Republican views. During the school year, meetings are held once a month. Sometimes the Y.R.C. sup plies speakers, or goes off campus to hear speakers. This year, the Y.R.C. would like to send representatives to the State Y.R.C. Convention. Anyone interest ed in the Republican ideas is urged to attend the meetings. Democrats may come and speak their views — if they wish! A little bit of time, a little bit of energy, and a little bit of knowledge can make the world situ ation a little better. Remember, 100 pennies make a dollar. Youn^ Democrats Club By Kinsey Sabiston The Young Democrats Club is designed to attract future voters and to organize their efforts into effective work.

The week end ed with “big sisters” and “little sisters” having lunch off-campus to gether and taking in a movde, and that night meeting the faculty at the tea. The girls were not only able to meet faculty and students on campus but also were most anxious and happy to meet boys and have dates Sunday night. All in all the week ran smoothly and was very well organized. As with any planned activities, howev^er, there were some voiced complaints. Prin cipally, the counselors felt that they could not give as much attention to their girls as they would have liked on account of summer reading tests being scheduled during that week. Some old girls thought the talent show had been a big success and missed it this year. Some found they Campus Movies A,ee Scbeduled A new program of on-campus en tertainment was introduced last year, developed for the purpose of provid ing St. Mary’s students with an on- campus activity existing solely for pleasure. Chosen by a committee, a series of films all of which were of popular demand, whether recently or in the past, were shown in our auditorium on selected Saturday nights with the help and co-operation of our Assist ant Dean of last year. Miss Betsy Nichols, and of Dr. Owens Hand Browne. A few of the movies which were available for student viewing were “Gigi”, “Farewell to Arms”, “Diary of Anne Frank”, and “Sweet Bird of Youth”. A nominal fee is charged to help pay for the cost of the film, and dates are more than welcome to ac company the girls. Plans for the ’65-’66 program are under construction, and it is expect ed that the first movie will be shown at the end of October. (The title is not yet available.) With the co-op eration of the student body, this pro gram of delightful and welcome en tertainment will be a success this year. had too much extra time. Others thought the daily activities could be better arranged so they could have more time to get settled without in terruptions. However, the majority of new and old girls enjoyed the first week of school and thought it was a great success.
