Dorm Life At St. Mary’s: Why It’s Great!
n; By Susan Crabtree
What makes dorm life at St.
s so delightful? Everyone im-
' lediately answers that privacy,
quiet prevail at all times
id make living on a hall a pleasure.
V ^ starts an intimate letter
'Which she always covers with her
sMt hand as she writes with the right
’ and) and discovers that the girl
ext door is looking over her
loulders taking shorthand. In this
tuation, being ambidextrous only
alf suffices the need. Now one must
y3n over to cover the letter with her
Wad also, look sideways and up at
le unannounced visitor, and say
jleasantly, “'Hi, how are ya? ”
* One night Hildegarde bombs out
f the shower and dashes to her room
efalf-naked. After she throws down
he towel and starts to put on her pa-
' amas, she realizes the hall meeting
5 in her room that night. At least she
''hinks the meeting is in her room be-
ii.ause the entire hall is sitting in
here—glaring. Hildegarde picks up
ler towel — not to cover her bare
j(|kin, for it is too late for that now, —
nd begins packing her trunk. Even
low no one leaves the room. Ahhhhh
• • the privacy of dorm life.
'■I Maybelline has six quizzes this
‘veek but she decides that sleep is
nore important than grades. She
liles into bed Monday at 10:15 with
no conscience pangs because she is
-'.o exhausted that only future ob-
Avion occupies the front of her brain,
’^oing . . . going . . . zzzzzzzzz . . .
SO . . . BANG’^-’^’^’^’^CRASH. The
ilarring noise sends poor Maybelline
jprawling into her roomie’s lap. Mus-
mring all her composure, she gets
back into bed. It’s only early yet,
10:30 now, and she thinks to ber-
ielf, “Surely Isabelle didn’t mean to
drop her filing cabinet outside my
door.’’ Once more she starts to men
tally depart this world when all the
walls seem to bang against her head.
Maybelline overlooks this disturbance
because the people next door do need
to nail up their Christmas stockings
in November. It’s okay about the
people upstairs also. Quiet hours is
the only good time to learn the
Ereddie. After dismissing any hope of
sleeping, she gets up to study even
'though she sees red instead of the
page.
Hildegarde decides that studying
is in order Thursday afternoon. Aside
from the Grendels walking up and
down the hall all day, there is the
girl on West Wing who yells to the
girl on East Wing to answer the
phone. Just as Hildegarde com
mences to tackle her impossible math
word problems, chatter grows loud
outside the door. When she can’t re
sist any longer, Hildegarde roars out
into the hall with sledgehammer in
hand. Yes, the noisemakers have dis
appeared. No victims of her wrath
today.
Alas, Eriday comes and brings re
lief from the strain and confusion of
a hard week’s study. If one dates dur
ing the three-day span which St.
Mary’s girls cherish and call a week
end, she begins to prepare for the
date on Eriday. Adelaide is the girl
on the hall who inevitably gets scald
ed in the shower because of certain
mysterious outside forces. One of the
“daters”, she must wash her hair and
plan what to wear to the football
game on Saturday. Her monkey-
vomit green suit and chartreuse suede
heels are the unanimous decision of
everyone on the hall. It’s all a part of
the hall routine that Adelaide’s
friends issue opinions on all routine
matters such as this.
Melvin Weatherman pages Ade
laide at 12:30 on Saturday and she
scrambles to the parlor eager to en
joy almost 12 hours with her date.
That night at the Cinderella hour ev
eryone flocks to her room to relate
the day’s activities, and to swoon or
moan over her date.
On Sunday, life on the dorm with
its studies, peace, quiet, and privacy
reigns once more.
death happens on farm
By Lucile McKee
The Wife of Bath, a red wagtail
platy of 309 Holt, committed suicide
last Eriday. The Wife of Bath com
mitted suicide by jumping out of the
aquarium. The authorities at the Eish
Farm felt her drastic actions came
from mental and physical exhaustion,
which accompanied the birth of her
fifty-two red wagtail platies.
The Wife of Bath was probably
born in the Virgin Islands and was
moved three months ago to her pres
ent home at the “Christian Herr
ing’s” Fish Farm. The Wife of Bath
enjoyed luxurious surroundings in a
filtered aquarium. The aquarium was
done in a private jamboree moffit,
just for the illustrious Wife of Bath.
The aquarium was always a place of
great activity, and now, after the
proper mourning period, the activity
continues.
The Wife of Bath is survived by
her fifty-two baby platies; her mate,
Alfred C. Baugh; Chantilcer, a pur
suing fancy guppy; Barbara, the
Tiger Barb; and many more fellow
aquatic friends.
The Wife of Bath will be long re
membered by everyone for her won
drous birth of fiftv-two babies.
MAY SHE SWIM IN THAT
GREAT AQUARIUM IN TEIE
SKY!!
*‘Uii.sinh.ahle Molly
Brown” Is Next Movie
The “rags to riches story” of The
Llnsinkahle Molly Brown will be the
next feature of St. Mary’s film series.
The movie will he shown December
11 at 7:00. Admission is 25c. Girls
with dates are welcomed.
This hit comedy ran successfully
on Broadway before it was made into
a movie with Debbie Reynolds,
Harve Presnell, and Ed Begley.
A rollicking musical, the film fea
tures excellent dance sequences and
such popular songs as “I Ain’t Down
Yet,” and .“He’s My Friend.”
The plot centers around the de
termined miner’s daughter Molly
Brown who wants a red house and
a place in high society. She and her
husband with the Midas touch set
out to fulfill this dream, only to dis
cover that money and social accept
ability do not help them live with
themselves.
Molly’s whirl-wind tour of Europe
to acquire culture, her party to in
troduce her royal European friends
to American society, and her actions
that won her the name “unsinkable”
will prove unforgettable to movie
audiences.
Officer Randolpli:
'I'l&rou^li Wort
By Cindy Bullard
“Better hurry, you have one min
ute!” These are the familiar words of
Mr. Randolph who has been a friend
to students at St. Mary’s for seven
years. Mr. Randolph is on campus
every weekend to direct traffic, which
usually becomes quite a problem
around the midnight hour.
Mr. Randolph served on the police
force for twenty years, and before he
began working at St. Mary’s he was
with the fire department in Raleigh.
He is married and has a son who
sometimes assists him at St. Mary's.
Mr. Randolph’s services are quite
invaluable on the weekends. For
those who sometimes have difficulty
in bringing a wonderful evening to
an end, Mr. Randolph is on hand to
remind them not to be late.
His primary concern is getting all
of the girls signed in on time, and he
has saved many of us from being
campused. He is also a welcomed
sight to the girl who is anxious for
an excuse to say good night to her
date.
Again Mr. Randolph is the hero of
the day for the girl who must go
through the traumatic experience of
searching for a blind date in the par
lor or on the porch. He always seems
to know who is who, and he can
quickly point a bewildered girl in the
right direction.
Mr. Randolph has had quite a few
memorable experiences at St. Mary’s.
Last year when we had a large num
ber of uninvited guests at a most in
appropriate hour, our protector and
defender was here immediately to
help prevent things from getting too
far out of hand.
One of Mr. Randolph’s favorite
stories concerns a rather inebriated
fellow who walked into the front
door of St. Mary’s and asked for a
room. Mr. Randolph is extremely
efficient in dealing with this type of
visitor.
In summing up his experiences
here Mr. Randolph says, “I love
working at St. Mary’s because it
keeps me young!”
Mr. Randolph.
