Tate . 6^ Seniors Win Belles Song Contest Tor Two Years ‘PatcJi Of Bine’ Is Reviewed By Jane Snider One of the most interesting movies to appear lately, A Patch of Blue, arouses curiosity at first. Its striking quality is the relationship between a blind white girl and a Negro man. The girl is Selina (Elizabeth Hart man). Uneducated and mistreated, she is the victim of her prostitute mother’s cruelty. Selina’s mother (Shelley Winters), who caused her blindness, and her drunkard old grandfather live with her in a squalid little apartment pervaded by an at mosphere of disharmony and hatrecl. Selina meets Gordon (Sidney Poit- ier) in the park where she has been taken by a friend, and he is appalled by her pitiful condition. The two meet every day, and their relation ship grows as the Negro attempts to help Selina. With a somewhat sceptical atti tude, but compelled by curiosity, one goes to see A Patch of Blue. An in evitable sense of uneasiness prevails until the captivating power of the storv takes over. This uneasiness is not without rea son, for a movie of this type could easily have been overdone, maudlin, and unrealistic. However, superb acting and di- The annual Song Contest sponj sored by the Belles was held Thurs day, May 19. In this contest, each class must make up an original song and present it before assembly. The judges for the contest this year were Mr. Tate, Miss Sara E. Jones, and Miss Ellington. The seniors took the honors by winning the coveted first place. Their song was to the tune of “Get Me to the Church on Time’’ from My Fair Lady. The writers were Meg Christ ian, Rae Herrin, and Amey Parsons. “We’re graduating on the thirtieth,” they sang, “Get us to the Chapel on time.” The freshmen took second place. Their song was a combination of nar ration, recently popular songs, and spirituals. The juniors’ song was to the tune of “Honey Bun” from South Pacific, and the sophomores’ song was to the tune of she 11 Be Cornin’ Round the Mountain.” NEWS IN BRIEF St. Genesius Taps The Order of St. Genesius tapped three new members on Thursday.

The problem is unresolved, and the result IS a movie that is beautiful and heart-breaking. Pendulum Qf St. Mary’s Will ,.'j Never Cease " By Susan Carrison I, the pendulum of St. Mary’s, saw you first. Before me has lain all the action. When you approached me in September you were excited, young girls anxious for the school year to begin. Then I saw old girls running to see their friends and new girls quickly becoming acquainted. I saw your tears that meant happi ness and loneliness and the looks that came with hello and goodbye. I did not miss a thing. Eor nine months I have passed your time at St. Mary’s. In my march I have seen you change. No longer do I find looks of uncertainty' or fear. No more do I see the hesitant steps or the bewildered eves. Eor in these months in your every' 2nd going I have seen an added reassurance and a new sense of belonging. Every time you have approached me I have noticed the increasing steadiness in your walk and the sureness of your smile. I have seen you in all your going: leaving on a date, departing for a vacation at home, or just running down to the little store. I have also met you on your re turns accompanied by blind dates, bundles and packages Vrom home, or the things you simply had to buv. I have counted your hours, days, and months and have brought vou through the winter and spring. Now before me lies a new season —one that will take you away again. As on your arrival, I find an assort ment of emotions now stemming from the thought of leaving. I find faces filled with anticipa tion, faces masked with depression and anxiety, and‘faces covered with the carefree look of summer. And yet, in all these faces I find the traces of sadness, eyes filled with unshed tears, and the unspoken words of goodbye. Many of you I shall never see again, but I cannot stop my swing.' Time goes by'. TRIBUTE TO TH SENIORS By Margaret Isley i Spring is a time of rebirth; a Ir when new growth replaces oKi young time.
