=4. iNovember 5, 1965 BELLES or ST. MARY’S Post-Grermans 5 Posf-IFC Slump By Molly Richardson jii There is something definitely Avrong with the girls at St. Mary's. J'As one walks down the halls, one pees the girls with a sluggish, tired jilook on their faces. What could it be? The work could not be harder (but, afchen again, with quarterly exams com- it could be). Their mail could not be any more lax than it has been lA^^^^tst two months of school. The iittood and sleep could not be any less ’^.han usual. What could it be? ■i! Well, lets analyze the situation, Pjtaking a typical St. Mary’s girl. For .j^^he past two weeks, October has been dipping away. She has been given a f®w progress reports, and she realizes the work is more difficult than jtfehe had expected. But also for the Ipast two weeks, there have been [ii-remendous weekends. (Yes, I think jjpur analysis is developing nicely.) f First there was IFC at State. Our ?irl was plagued with callers and pikers for blind dates. She wanted to Otis Reading and to go to phe highly-rated parties on Fraternity iKow. She could even date on Friday bright! There was a great deal of sleep ,^:Ost as she thought and thought of ;;^hat to wear to the costume party or Dowery Ball. When Friday classes vere finally over, she already had hat heavy-eyelidded feeling, which was definitely not from eye shadow. i/Tit as she came down the steps into Te parlor and saw her date with a •eal pumpkin on his head, she gig- l^led and felt as though this was go- j(|Og to be a good weekend. It was. ghunday night brought on drowsiness, )ind dread for another week of solid “I’tudying. But the St. Mary’s girl ^perked up as she thought what next A^eekend was . . . GERMANS and HOMECOMING both at Carolina. ji She struggled through the week ^and it was such a long one!). She ried to decide how the weather ivould be at the Georgia-Carolina )‘rame Saturday and to decide whether jO wear light or heavy wool. She ijOanicked as she thought of the possi bility of not having a place to stay in dhapel Hill. But her worries were in j./ain, and Saturday finally came. The veather was perfect. The ride to The Hill was invigorating and exciting, t was a happy day . . . and it was ,dso a happy night. Chapel Flill was jiit its peak. As the St. Mary’s girl voke up at her hostess’ home Sunday norning, she was hit with an unde- liable tiredness. The weekend was dmost ending. How depressing. Of 'ffiurse, it did not compare with the vay she felt on Monday morning! I Hence, the situation is analyzed, ^fhe girls have a basic, physical rea son for being in this slump . . . they ^ire exhausted. But there is also an other reason for the First-Week-of- |jVovember-Slump. There is no Ger mans or IFC to anticipate any longer. jThey are only fond memories. However, if the St. Mary’s girls ivill regain their strength and work again for another date, they can en dure the same agony once more. The Duke-Carolina game is November :he 20th. Four days later, they leave US(0£V Tk Seniors Really Know How do Give d Warm Welcome.! SENIORS SPOOK JUNIORS AT ANNUAL OPEN HOUSE By Alice Purdie As Halloween night approaches every year, the seniors have a Hallo ween party disguised as an open house. Technically, the first and second floors of Penick functioned as the Seniors’ welcome mat for the juniors, but the third floor . . . Anne Simmons headed the first Penick Committee where the juniors were served refreshments. Debbie Ellis’ committee gave the entertain ment on the second floor. Marie Kirksey and her committee guided the girls through the first floors and made sure they did not miss the third floor where Mary Melcher’s commit tee had planned the horror house. On this floor the friendly atmos- Four of tlie “little i)eoi)le” who ap peared at the Senior Open House are sliown in their dance routine. for Thanksgiving Vacation for a sup posed rest, which nobody ever achieves. Sigh . . . life is full of an ticipation, depression . . . and antici pation again. phere suddenly changed. The hall way was dark and spooky. The girls gasped as their eyes viewed a coffin with a dead body in it. Then they found themselves being grabbed by the arm and dragged bodily into rooms where they probably wished they’d never gone. To the weak-hearted, I suppose, the only part of the night they en joyed occurred when they ate, were entertained, and had their fortunes read; although the seniors delighted in every minute. Pijis and Lavalieres A.l>ound A.t St. M!ary*s By Martha Harrelson Flark! The blackboard in Smedes reveals to the student body that a fellow student has received a lava- liere, a pin, an engagement ring, or a class ring. This is not an unusual oc currence at St. Mary’s, as may well be observed in the number of these “visible symbols of affection’’ which will assuredly increase throughout the year. The girls who are pinned are as follows: Jessie James to Chuck Poss, a Sigma Chi at Hampton-Sydney; Suzanne Poole to Cleve Wright, a DKE at Carolina; Jody Burton to Roger Oxford, a Kappa Sig at Caro lina; Skinner Anderson to John Mc Gee, a Sigma Nu at Carolina; Joann Ferrell to Joe Zambetti, a Theta Chi at State; Susan Poyner to Vick Moore, a Pika at Wake Forest; and Harriett Martin to Steve Flubert, a Sigma Chi at State. Those St. Mary’s girls who are lav- aliered are as follows: Lucy Brown to Nubby Coleman, a Kappa Sig at State; Evelyn Martin to John Wick- FxclLa.n^e News Items By Theresa Stanley The University of Georgia is spon soring an “International Night.” The foreign students will present their talents in the forms of their native dances, songs, etc. Their costumes will be their national costumes. Washington and Lee reports that fraternity pledges percentages are be low the previous fall semester. How ever, Davidson College is evaluating the fraternities’ services to the college by questionnaires. Students at Randolph-Macon Wo man’s College are collecting books to be sent to Asian countries. This proj ect’s purpose is to extend American culture to Asia and to help the Asians intellectually. An editorial in the “Greenway Grapevine” of St. Anne’s School, Charlottesville, stated, “The girls on the team try much harder when they know they are being watched, when they are cheered on, when they know that people care if they lose.” Could this statement apply to the Sigma’s and the Mu’s? Mr. Hides Always Saves Tlie jDay By Elizabeth Hobgood It’s a bird. It’s a plane. It’s super man . . . not quite. It’s Mr. Hicks. At one time or another, everyone here at St. Mary’s has made or will make the acquaintance of this quiet, little man who has been the guardian angel of our school for the past seven years. Many of the old girls probably re member Mr. Hicks from the “pantie raid ” last fall. We, who remember that night, shall never forget Mr. Flicks, as he frantically ran around the school, trying to ward off two thousand screaming boys. Or, maybe, you have seen him making the rounds of the school, locking the doors and turning out the lights. Has your encounter with Mr. Hicks been on the front porch of Smedes at the “witching hour” on Saturday night? Has he chased you out of a classroom or telephone booth at one o’clock in the morning? Flave you run into Mr. Hicks in the hall, wearing only your new frilly negligee? Everyone of us has seen Mr. Flicks, although the circumstances of the meeting may differ. But we all should realize the importance and in dispensability of our night watch- ersham, a Pi Kappa Phi at Duke; Harriett Hodges to Sterling Philips, a Beta at Carolina; and Kate John son to Tommy Fonville, a Phi Delt at Carolina. The following are girls who are “class-ringed”: Marty Mebane to Bill Anderson, Marianne Morrison to Bob Prevatte, Laura Fonvielle to Jimmy Burris, and Ellen Braddy to Phil Torchio. There are only two St. Mary’s girls who have immediate plans for mar riage. Sharron Hobbs will marry Hu bert Dutton this summer. Susan Kip and Dave Weaver have set the ap proximate time of their wedding as September, 1966. !om- lunal 'b is oate. lay td ig tray- Rose f the nnet. bool- Lena * in- ■A^nn •avis; end)j ° i»v Jittlj f' m Sic: I
