Feast Of Liglxts Service Celebrated The annual Epiphany candlelight service of the Feast of Lights at St. Mary’s focused on spreading of Christ’s teachings from the time of the ‘foreigners’ who went to worship at Bethlehem down to the responsi bility of Christians today. In the service here at school, the star of Bethlehem shone above the chancel. The single large candle on the altar represents Christ, the light of the world. The darkening of the Chapel signifies the gloom and con fusion of the world before the Sa viour. Candles are lighted in succes sion representing the Apostles and their successors. Other candles are lighted which stand for the witness of missionaries throughout the ages. This year, various members of the choir spoke actual quotations either from the Bible or from the writings of famous men such as Paul, Igna tius, or Augustine. Lighted tapers were passed out to the congregation, illuminating the entire chapel with a soft glow. Students view schedules. Appendicitis: A New Approach. By Molly Richardson Before Christmas Holidays began, a new approach to getting out of class was created . . . appendicitis. It was all very strange. Within one month there were three such cases on our small campus. And it was sort of scarey. First, there was Janet Hicks from Rocky Mount, a new junior. She was “attacked” Dec. 3 with a terrible stomach ache, an inability to eat nor mally, and a pain with every step that she walked. She immediately went to the infirmary and was given sortie of that marvelous “swamp wa ter.” The next day Janet was admit ted to Rex Hospital, and Miss R. stayed with her until she went to sleep that night. The next day she was operated on, and never realized that she was going to undergo surgery until she was en route to the operat ing room. Janet came out with an incision four inches long! The scar is a bit lower than usual for one spe cial reason . . . she did not want that scar to be noticeable in her last year’s bikini! Her last words (before going under the anesthetic) were to not make it so that she would be un able to wear her lli-piece bathing suit. She was in the hospital for a whole week. Janet lost eight pounds, as a result of all that jello and coffee she consumed. Two days later, Marty Mebane was besieged with the same symp toms. She went to Rex Hospital at 4:30 Monday afternoon, and her appendix was removed at 8:30 that same night. This was Case No. 2. She is also a new junior, and she is from Rocky Mount, just as Janet! She and Janet had a jolly time to gether in the hospital, but they were not exactly good for each other. Each time that Janet would make the nurse put her in a wheel chair, she would roll her down to Marty’s room (or vice-versa), and the trip always end ed as soon as they saw each other. They would start laughing at their unlikely predicament, and almost bust their stitches. So the nice nurse would roll the girl in the wheelchair back to her own room, and she would let her giggles subside. Marty was in the hospital for four days, and she found it to be rather exciting. Her By Cindy Bullard It is almost time for exams and once again a general panic is begin ning to spread throughout the school. As the dreaded first day approaches, signs of this panic become increas ingly obvious. First of all, friendly smiles disappear. One either faces a glassy stare or hears hysterical laugh ter. In the dining room some merely stare at their plates while others eat ravenously. A few students hibernate to begin studying, but the majority hold con claves to discuss how they will “just never make it!” Some suggest such study aids as more cigarettes, cokes and candy bars. One of these objects must be in hand during the traumatic experience of studying. A few disil lusioned girls have been known to give up and discuss the possibilities of getting a job in the local dime- store. All of this mass terror can be easily alleviated if one follows a few help ful hints from those who survived the last inquisition. Zan Deas studies all along so that she will not have to cram at the last minute. She even thought that exams last year were fun. Joanne Crawford says that the real secret is to go to bed early and to organize your study time. Of course it helps if you have organized notes. Even though she knows all of the rules, Juliet Smith says she still ends up cramming. Susan Crabtree always studies for her hardest exam first. Jane Patrick is out of practice in studying for exams because she was exempt her senior year in high school. Despite the near suicides, the ner vous twitches that develop and other' such catastrophes, everyone usually lives through the experience. “peanut” sent her some flowers, and she received a Special Delivery letter from the Air Force Academy. She re members thinking, most of all, that she did not have appendicitis. She ’ tried to tell the doctors, but they did not seem to believe her. And normal enough, her stitching is 114 inches long. Case No. 3—Sabra Alderman, Freshman from Greenville, N. C. She did not have any extreme pains, but she went to the infirmary with the thought of having the flu. When she was released, however, she never felt completely well. On the Wed nesday before we were able to leave for Christmas Holidays, Sabra and her counselor, Francy Lewis, walked to Dr. Royster’s office, which is about eight blocks away, and they walked back to school! The tests revealed that she had appendicitis too. That night, she was operated on in Rex Hospital. Miss R. came to the rescue again. Sabra stayed in the hospital until Sunday. But it was no extension: of the holidays for her, because she had to stay in bed for most of vaca tion time. She lost sixteen pounds, and her scar is 114 inches long. Sabra said that she enjoyed the attention that an appendectomy arouses, but she hates making up tests that she (Continued on Page 4) !om- ! 1 PI i '*1 I i\ 'ars. jh in ■ d in tlina, ■Biy's ‘ “ Dr* ^' dat- Bunal >b is hate. lay i for iction t St. ?o be ither- “oduc- “The • mu shing t love 920’s, e and ad is rtray.
