f On April 28 (a day four people
,(m11 remember), the Sophomore
y^lass gave an assembly program that
ij(:an truly be called great. The whole
; ludience was really “on the floor.”
'i The- scene was a courtroom, with
Kathleen Dale as the Judge,-Martha
V aughan as the Baililf, Lisa Rowland
j\is the Prosecutor, and Cissie Hob-
bgood as the foreman of the jury.
T^c defendants consisted of Sabra
'vlderman (charged with breaking
«nd entering,) Joan Wickham
(charged with “international affairs”),
iDr. Brown (charged with encourag-
jiing his students to smoke), and Mr.
'* L (charged with bad conduct on
'p c New York trip). All of these de
fendants were found guilty as charg-
ced.
Throughout the program, the spec-
'tators (part of the Sophomore class),
making comments and remarks,
fwhich only added to the already
tunny situations.
One of the funniest instances oc-
|,'"^™d when the whole stage of jury
ind spectators “lighted up” as Dr.
Brown was being brought on stage.
1 his produced a great effect. It is be-
j ^I'cd that this assembly program
jW'ill be remembered for some time—
^^specially by four particular people.

Freshman Slaves line in readiness prior to being auctioned at the Annual
Freshman Slave Sale.
FRESHMEN ARE AUCTIONED AT
ANNUAL SLAVE SALE IN GYM
The Annual Freshman Slave Sale
was held on Thursday, April 28. The
event was publicized by many post
ers in the halls and by a skit given
in assembly.
The night before the sale, some
slaves roamed some of the halls pro
claiming that “The Chains are Com-
• >>
mg.
At 9:15 p.m. the slaves entered
the gym to the music of the Cold
Cuts. As they pranced around the
gym, the buyers eyed the wild cos
tumes and started picking out their
prospective slaves.
Many of the slaves were costumed
so well that it was even difficult for
their fellow members to recognize
them. After singing “We Shall Over
come,” the selling began.
The girls were called up on the
platform by the famous auctioneer,
Mr. Robert Connelly. With his urg
ing and expert auctioneering, the
prices for the slaves rose, and some
girls were sold at dear prices.
Some of the more popular girls
sold were the day students, who had
the added attraction of providing
transportation for the foot-weary St.
Mary’s girls.
During the intermission, the popu
lar Cold Cuts provided entertain
ment for all. Overcome by the beat
of the music, the slaves jumped up
and began dancing around the gym.
The most popular dance of the eve
ning was the Twist.
Refreshments were sold to the
hungry crowd. Much hard work and
planning by the freshmen went into
a very successful evening.

Juniors Entertained
At Tlie Angus Rarn
The junior class held its banquet
of the year at the Angus Barn steak
house on April 18. “Knights of Old”
was chosen the theme of the juniors’
special event, and Linda Stott, dance
marshal for the class, cleverly had
the banquet room fashioned into a
medieval mead hall.
After feasting heartily, the girls
settled back to an evening of delight
ful entertainment staged by- various
members of the junior class.
Following a play of chivalry, a
couple of wandering “minstrels,”
Ginny Gray and special guest Meg
Christian sang folk songs while Toni
Pellerin concluded the entertain
ment with an original, lively dance.
Guests of the class included Dr.
and Mrs. Stone, Miss Edith Rich
ardson, Rev. and Mrs. Grant O.
Folmsbee and Miss Sue Ellen Ross,
advisor of the junior class.
In welcoming everyone to the ban
quet, junior class president Lucile
McKee gave a talk on the many
(wonderful) facets of life at St.
Mary’s.
Master of Ceremonies, Linda Stott,
then temporarily turned the program
over to the juniors themselves, who
enthusiastically sat down to dinner.
What was not eaten of the steaks
was carted back to St. Mary’s in little
Angus Barn “doggie bags.”
