ANTICIPATION OF NEW
By Cynty McAlister
“What’s it going to be like?”
That, I’m sure, was about the main
thought in the minds of us new
girls as we prepared to come to St.
Mary’s. We had read all the liter
ature we had received, including
the handbook, but we were still
wondering, “What is St. Marys
really going to be like?”
Our last few days at home were
mixed with different emotions. We
were excited about coming to a
new school, meeting so many new
people, and participating in a new
experience j but, at the same time,
we were somewhat reluctant to
leave home and our friends.
We were so busy packing and
doing last minute jobs that before
we knew it Monday morning had
arrived. On that morning as we
approached Raleigh and the new
world it had in store for us, our
curiosity and excitement giew.
The minute we stepped on the St.
Mary’s campus, the old girls be
gan welcoming us.
The warmth and friendliness ot
the St. Mary’s girls was the main
feature we all noticed that first
(lay—not the appearance of the
buildings, or the way we were
registered, but the girls them-
sefves and how they made us feel
that they were glad to have us.
That first day is one that none
of us new girls will ever forget.
We became acquainted with our
roommate and the other girls on
our hall and began looking for
ward to the new and exciting life
St. Mary’s was offering us. By
dinnertime that night we felt that
we had known each other much
.longer than just four or five
hours! ’We had already been intro
duced to so many people, we really
felt at home.
Though we were somewhat re
served at first, through hall parties
and other activities during Orien
tation W'eek, our so-called shyness
left us. Making new friends and
learning our way around school,
we began to realize that our years
at St. Marv’s would surely be
memorable and rewarding ones as
we would grow academically
through the hard work to come
and emotionally through the rela
tionships with the many girls we
would come in contact with.
The one thing that helped and
impressed us most those first f^v
davs in our new home was the
wonderful reception we all receiv
ed from the old girls —and we
thank them for it. They went out
of their wav to get to know us
and to welcome us, and it really
helped ns overcome our homesick
ness, as well as some of our tim
idity at beginning a “new life .

Day Students Acquire
Nevr “Home Away
From Home”
The quiet of the formerly va
cant Chaplain’s house has been re
placed by the spirited voices of
seventy-five Day Students. These
newly acquired quarters provide
a “home away from home” for stu
dents from Raleigh and surround
ing areas.
The girls’ enthusiasm for their
house, christened The Day Stu
dents Cottage, is clearly seen in
their decorating efforts. With the
help of the Alumnae Association,
the Day Students hope to have
their cottage attractively furnish
ed and decorated by Christmas.
The girls extend a warm welcome
to all who care to pay a visit to
them in their new home.
What’s New in the “DR?”
By Mimsie Roberts
One place on the campus where
we all go has changed over the
summer months. Some of you may
have noticed the change, and some
may have thought it has always
been this way. In either ease, I
think you will soon be able to
guess to what part of our school I
am referring.
D is for the difference all old
girls can see when they climb the
wooden stairs and enter the doors.
I is for the improvements such as
the cafeteria equipment. N is for
the nice new aprons for the girls
to wear. I is for the ice cream
cones that have replaced those
china bowls. N is for the non-sug-
ared fruit drinks for all the diet
ers. G is for the new girls who do
not know what they missed last
year.
R is for those two round tables
with holes in them for butter,
lemons, and dressing. 0 is for the
odd feeling of holding a new knife
and not having it almost rattle off
the handle. 0 is for the other
changes that have been made dur
ing our vacation. M is for the
many, many thanks we all would
like to give to those who have
made our Dining Room a better
place this year.
