Dear Students:
To both new and returning stu
dents, 1 extend a warm welcome
to St. Mary’s for the academic
se.ssion l!167-68. It is good to hear
your voices in the halls and to
see you on campus after the sum
mer recess.
1 am ever reminded and pleased
to learn just how meaningful
the Chapel is to the community
life on campus. Our services are
structured to glorify Jesus Christ
and to meet the personal needs
of those who come to God to find
solace, strength, and a new vision
of their part in the Church’s on
going ministry to mankind.
All of us—students, faculty, the
administration, those who live and
work here — should be aware of
our part in the educational proc
ess which prepares God’s people
to render service to their fellow-
men in the world today. Here we
search together for truth and test
its validity in an atmosphere of
learning that is undergirded by
Cliristian love, understanding,
and forgiveiiess.
.\ow that we are together as
members of St. Mary’s family, I
just know that individually you
will make your contribution to the
life of this community and in turn
will be known, loved, and accept
ed for what you are as a person.
Tlie Chaplain’s office is located in
the Faculty House on campus,
and I shall welcome the opportun-
it.v of serving you in the giving
of an.v guidance you may need in
the making of decisions tliat are
important to you.
Sincerely vours,
ROBERT C. BAIRD.
To be known as a “St. Mary’s
girl” creates a kind of magic in
all of us. Not to be known as a
“New Girl” and to feel as if we
belong are the aims of all girls
here at St. Mary’s.
The quickest way to grasp the
true feeling of being a “St. Mary’s
girl” is to participate in the vari
ous activities and clubs which are
available. Thus, this first issue
of The Belles is devoted in part
FIND YOUR PLAGE
to familiarizing the “new girls
with some of the clubs and special
interest groups.
As a church supported school,
St. Mary’s has as its center the
chapel. Here, new and old girls
alike find the true St. ilary’s spirit
of love and devotion by worship
ping together during the week
and on Sunday.
Through the activities of the
Student Government, each girl un
derstands more clearl.v the role
^ i^ to play at St. Mary’s. Al-
MOVIE REVIEW: “HAWAII”
By Mindy Bell
Julie Andrews
, Max Von Sy-
dow, and Richard Harris star in
the motion picture of James A.
Michener’s Hawaii. Julie Andrews
plays the part of Jerusha Brom
ley Hale, missionary wife of Ab
ner Hale played by Max Von Sv-
dow, who spends her life bringing
the Flawaiians to Christianity.
Hawaii is the love story of mis
sionaries for the Hawaiian islands,
riieir story is d r a m a t i c and
breath-taking as it deals with the
tight against greed, missionaries’
contempt, jealousy, and disease.
Abner Hale is an overly pious
mi.ssionary who is forced to find a
wife within one month’s time. In
his search, he is introduced to
lovely Jerusha Bromley who has
turned to missionary work after
her depression over a sea captain
with whom she is in love. Jerusha
marries Abner Hale and takes the
dangerous journey to Hawaii.
mter reaching Hawaii, Jerusha
makes friends with -Malania the
Ain Nuii. Through Malania] the

though the officers of the Student
Government form the nucleus of
the association, the success or fail
ure of its activities depends on the
cooperation of each girl and her
understanding of its fundamental
purposes.
As the first month of school
draws to a close, there are, no
doubt, many girls who still feel
like “outsiders.” If you are one
such girl, stop and take inventory
of yourself. Have you made an
attempt to join a club that inter
ests you? Have you joined in your
class activities? If not, then it is
time to make a determined effort
to become a part of student life
at St. Mar.v’s.
It is only when you find your
self enthusiastically involved in
.something that you shed the title
of a “new girl” and become the
essence of a true “St. ^Mary’s girl.”
