24, ibruary 24, 1967 BELLES OF ST. MARY’S ■’he “liunk” who was the prize in tlie \Vin-a-l?oy Contest at the .Tumors’ Valentine Party. JUNIORS ENTERTAINED AT VALENTINE PARTY A Boy Contest concluded the party, and Cece May was awarded a “hunk” complete with heart-decorated shorts and decorated muscles. Planned as a way for the juniors to get to know each other, the party achieved more than its main purpose, for as each girl left the gym. she felt the true spirit of friendship and warmth that prevails here at St. Mary’s. Bridge Ma»ia Obsesses Many By Jessica Gillespie Through the smoke can be seen the slumped forms. Empty and half Piled bottles cover the floor. Silence prevails. Yes, it's a bridge game. Bridge is that time consuming and mind consuming phenomenon which strikes old and young, male and fe male. It taxes the brain, stirs compe tition, and offers an outlet to frus trations. And lastly, it s fun. Many girls describe the game as a chronic disease. Once the victim is afflicted with the disease, she can not get rid of it. The bridge fever grows. All college freshmen are warned about the bridge mania. Usually the warnings come from seniors who have had three years of summer school. It seems that most newcomers don’t heed the warning. For some girls, a grade m bridge would help quality point ratios great ly lust think: there could be an A in bridge to offset that D in Math. St. Mary’s, like all other colleges, is a victim of the bridge mania. A game is always being played some where on the hall, from early after noon until late night. The day students are afflicted. A major obstacle just inside their room is the bridge table. Playing bridge is a good way to pass the time between * (CoMinued on Page 4) Studying was put aside on the ^*ght of February 14th while the 'Uniors enjoyed a Valentine Bash, j ? anned and given by the juniors fyliemselves. Festively decorated in ^ t e traditional red and white, the ygyrri was the setting for the gathering ^lass of ’68. On entering, each gir kissed a piece of paper with her ruby-red lips”, the results later to c judged in the Most Kissable Lips ontest. After careful consideration, uffy Beasley was proclaimed the Winner, and awarded a gigantic pair ° bps to be used on some “lucky boy! e^f''sshments, provided by the Day udents, were quickly gobbled up, ^tid the girls sat down to enjoy the swingin’ music of St Mary’s “inter- nationally-renowned Cold Cuts.” Af- their performance, toasts were ^ad from hall to hall and from the blav Students, also. Next came the Juniors’ own equi- I'alent of the “Cold Cuts” - “Pea- ■^od and the Plot Bods” comprised of ' girls from 2nd West Cruikshank. Af- ^ minor censoring, the “Hot I .i” . brought down the house "'ith songs and dancing. The Win- SEakespeare Class Ex&tbralled By WasEin^ton, D. C. By Margaret Burgwyn ”... A good time was had by all. ” That quotation certainly applies to the group who went to Washington with Mr. Tate February 9-12. Fhe group consisting of Cheryll Botts, Betsy Murrell, Janet Hicks, Nancy Hood, Libby Keller, Linda Stott, Martha Morgan, Becky Eure, Betsy Little and Margaret Burgwyn — all students of William Shakespeare — plus Anne Garwood, Derin Uyanik, and Emily Morgan certainly had di versified interests, but everyone found something to satisfy her tastes whether cultural, or not so cultural. For the culture-minded student there were the museums, libraries, and art galleries, in particular, the Smithsonian, the Congressional Li brary, and the National Gallery. The Smithsonian provided many natural wonders to stimulate the imagination and to entice the eye. The Congressional Library brought back fond memories of the “little State House” here on campus where we have spent many happy hours conscientiously and voraciously pur suing higher education. Needless to say, when we saw the vast expanse of hard-bound volumes and the un ending card catalogues we were quite content to return to the Brown Do main. Each visitor came out of the National Gallery of Art as true con noisseurs with blue bags filled with tasteful, genuine Picasso, Renoir, and Manet two-bit prints. Of course, the highlight of our trip was seeing two of Shakespeare’s plays, “Romeo and Juliet” and “Mea sure for Measure,” enacted at the National Theatre. After studying his plays for a semester, we thorough ly enjoyed seeing them presented on the stage. Dining with Jane Asher and her charming escort, Arthur Blake, af ter the play was also quite exciting. We were fascinated by their English accents and their friendliness and the interest with which they talked to us. However, they certainly des troyed many illusions we entertained about some of the more famous En glish actors! (Did you know that Sean Connery, alias James Bond, was bald and wore false teeth? Really!) The sightseer is certainly in his element in Washington. Some of the sights visited were the Capitol, the White House, the Lincoln Me morial, the Washington Monument, the Arlington National Cemetery, and the Archives building. Two girls even went to the Shrine of the Im maculate Conception where Lucy Johnson was married. Those who take U. S. Historv under Mrs. Stoops and have read Sandburg's Lincoln will appreciate the fact that we stay ed at the Willard Hotel-Residence of Presidents (and was that ever a sight!). Our trip did offer one or two in teresting twists. We all were quite impressed with the Washington Monument to which we trekked at two o’clock in the morning, in the snow, with our exalted leader, Mr. Tate, at our head. Also we were delighted to see (Continued on Page 4) “WEom Would You Most LlEe To Meet?** By Lisbet Robinson When asked whom you would most like to meet, each of the fol lowing girls stated that they had great ditficulty in narrowing their decision down to one person in our fascinating world of today. However after great thought, Ara bella Nash decided that she would like to have met Winston Churchill. Her reason was that “he was such a great man and did so much for his country.” She said that he was quite a capable person and handled his job with great strength and leadership. Kaye Lasater and Beverly Ran dolph would like to meet Michael Caine, the star of “Alfie.” When ask ed why they would like to meet him, their only answer was a subtle smile. Susan Davis would like to meet Jacqueline Kenendy. Besides being a “woman of the world,” Mrs. Ken nedy has endured much since her husband’s death and has shown great courage and determination. Susan feels that she has handled her situa tion with dignity. Jo Crawford sum med up her feelings for Mrs. Ken nedy in three words — “She fasci nates me.” Because of our many and instruc tive lecturers on China, Nancy Wide- man would like to meet Mao Tse- Tung, the Dictator of Red China. Nancy wants to find out if he is really as unreasonable as people say he is. The late Thomas Wolfe is the choice of Jane Patrick. Her reasons are that she enjoyed his book Look Homeward, Angel and that he was a Carolina student. She would also like to meet John Jay Rockefeller be cause of his help in West Virginia’s poverty and politics. Debra Grove’s answer to the ques tion of whom she would like to meet was Christopher George. When ask ed why, she answered, “Go see ‘The Gentle Rain.’ ” Peggy Pomeroy would like to meet Mrs. Weatherpost. This lady is one of the richest women in the world, but she does not spend her money unwisely. At 86, she is poised, digni fied, and lively. Peggy added that Mrs. Weatherpost has an investment in our breakfasts . . . she owns Post cereal. Andrew Wyeth, the famous paint er, would be Lucile McKee’s choice. She has long admired his works, as well as those of his entire family. Lucile would like to see if his per sonality matches his artistry. Lizzy Gawen would most like to meet Bishop Pike. His ideas are quite controversial, but interesting. She says that she would enjoy talking with him on various topics and ask ing him why he feels as he does. Betsy Little anticipates the day when she could have the opportunity to meet Omar Shariff or “Dr. Zhiva go.” Her reason is rather prevalent among movie-goers: she would like to look for herself into those deep, watery-blue eyes. Celie Smith, a music enthusiast, has a yen to meet the piano genius. Van Cliburn. She enjoys many of his records and has a ticket to the concert in which he will appear in Raleigh soon. Possibly she can have her big moment then! fairs, oth in md in ■rolina, Mary’s id Dr. it dat- ei-sunal job is aduate. ff really but I teach- hly en- of St. ns :*lay [I :ed for duction at St. To be Father- produc- s “The ;ul mu- inishing eir love ' 1920’s, •sic and lead is aortray- in Rose 8 of the abonnet. school. ^ Lena ■ers ia, Bryaa;j ' Lavisji 'friend) i also ^ LittlJ
