Letter To The LAitor
To the Student Body:
In regard to the last editorial, I
would like to ask one question—why
is this “unusual spirit’’ present at St.
Mary’s this year? Some people hlame
it on the spirit of the new girls. May
be this is part of the problem, but
one girl said, “There are just as'many
old girls as there are new girls.’’ One
jiarticular group can not be held at
fault — it is everybody’s fault — and
everybody’s problem! The old girls
have not taken their responsibility of
setting an example. And the new
girls are rebelling against tradition.
“The time has come,” the walrus
said—when St. Mary’s students must
unite to conquer the problem, To-
getherl Everybody recognizes the lack
of spirit—O.K., everylxidy do some
thing about it! The success of a
school year is the product of the at
titude of the students. Don’t ruin the
1965-66 school year-please!

Honor Year Around
Speeches during Assembly, brief sermons during chapel, pithy sayings
placed about the school were all used to mark a very important occasion at
St. Mary’s —Honor Week.
Yet Honor Week should not be just one designated time during which
period everyone practices his most honorable behavior.
Honor should be ingrained in one’s character from his earliest child
hood. The whole system upon which our society is based depends upon an
honorable code of behavior from its members.
When one’s honor is lost or even tainted, there remains little else that
can be done to defile a character. Without honor, an individual’s veiy moral
fiber is weakened.
However, honor does not consist of walking around with a “holier-than-
thou” attitude and feeling honor and duty-bound to remove the speck from
your neighbor’s eye.
Instead, it means living on YOUR honor, as a Girl Scout, as member
of some organization, as a St. Mary’s girl, or as whatever vou chose to be in
life.
Live your life honorably, and the feeling will naturallv be reciprocated
in your dealings with others.
“A PAGEANT OF KINGS

the Absurd” fascinating. He pat
larly likes Ionesco because of
visible effects. He considers
ing for Godot” to be a fine exai
of this theatre.
Christian Alderson, who wa*
lected by Mr. Burton to appear H
Pageant of Kings,” is one of the
fessional students at the Amei
Musical and Dramatic AcadeW
native of West Virginia, Mr. ^
son gained his first part on Broat
after being in New York for
two weeks. His work in New '
was his first dramatic training'
considers intelligence to be the
important part of acting. He
that the duty of every actor i
know his craft through extev
training. Classical roles are the’
test of an actor in his opinion.
Mr. Alderson has enjoyed his •
ing in “A Pageant of Kings” bet’
of the vast opportunities to
people. He says that the man)'
Stacies which he encounters on
present a challenge to his acting]
Mr. Alderson agrees wholel’i,
edly with the critics in feeling ;
there is not enough serious
both on and off Broadway. i
Both actors stated that they V
extremely pleased with the resftl
of the St. Mary’s audience to ’a
performance. e
As the Thanksgiving holidays approach, everyone is thinking about go
ing home and being with her family and friends. The atmosphere of together
ness is not limited to Thanksgiving Day or to one’s family. It also exists at
St. Mary’s. This togetherness has drawn all the students together to make the
St. Mary s family. The strong tradition of friendliness has bound together all
who call St. Mary’s their Alma Mater.
The Chapel provides a place in which St. Mary’s girls may gather to
worship together. The words of the School Hymn best express this unity:
“We work together in Thy sight,
We live together in Thy love"
By participating in the worship services, one feels more a part of St. Mary’s.
The Chapel always has been a vital part of St. Mary’s, and it is the privilege
and duty of each student to carry on this tradition.
We at St. Mary’s share many traditions on which so much of St. Mary’s
is built. The girls attending St. Mary’s in the past have observed these tra
ditions enthusiastically, thus enriching their legacy to future St. Marx'’s
girls. Likewise, it is the privilege and responsibility of each girl at St. Mary’s
to insure the continuance of these traditions for the future St. Mary’s girls.
However, a lack of spirit and enthusiasm can prevent a unified effort.
It is the duty of each student to accept and continue the ties which bind
St. Mary’s. The true spirit of St. Mary’s is in the warmth, the friendliness
of the girls towards one another, and the school itself. This is an in
separable quality to which we all must show respect.
