For instance, it is excellent
training to have to clear out the
dirty washclothes and dried up
toothpaste from the sink so we
can wash our clothes. It is great
fun having many people to study
with Nobodv minds having tivelve
people in her room during quiet
hour at night. This pleasant situ
ation helps us develop good study
habits.
It doesn’t bother ns for every
body to break our “Do Xots. We
iiist put them up so that we look
intellectual. And think how lonely
we would be after 11:00 if it were
not for all the noise.
Then, of course, there are a tew
inconveniences that may have
been hard to get used to, but they
are still a lot of fun. It has become
a game to wonder, while taking a
shower, if people are going to yell
“Flush!” or if you are going to be
scalded.
Cockroaches do not bother us a
bit anymore; they add to the ex
citement of every fiinfilled night
All of us need the seeuiitj of
knowing that no matter how cold
t is outside, our dorms are going
to be warn. So there m nothing wc
like better than waking up to the
Bairn! Clang! of the heat coming
on at 6:00 in the morning.
But the most important thing
about dorm life is that the girls in
our dorms are what make our lives
at St. Mary’s happy. They form
the major part of our lives here
and share the many unforgettable
experiences of life in a dormitory.

“NONO’S”
By Mindy Bell
As many of the new Freshmen
and Juniors are finding out, there
are many “no-no’s” at St. Mary’s
which aren’t found in tlie hand
book. Such classic “no-no’s” are:
—Meeting Mr. Hicks in Lower
Smedes at 11 :30 P.M. with the
M & M machine in your hands.
—Spending a quiet evening in
the luggage room (during a re
quired concert.)
—Rushing to dinner in your
raincoat and shorts to break in
line with your roommate and find
ing Dr. Morrison behind you.
—Passing out plates during a
Sunday sit-down lunch before Dr.
and Mrs. Stone arrive.
—Trying to sign in on the mast
er sheet—ten minutes late.
—Finding the tennis courts
locked and climbing the fence.
—Holding your “swaying” date
up as you go through the receiv
ing line of the Fresliman-Sopho-
more dance.
—Rushing up the middle steps
in Smedes in your nightgown and
robe after phoning “him”!
—Kissing Mr. Randolph instead
of your date on the front porch af
ter a big party.
Although numerous in number,
such “no-no’s” seem but a few
when compared to all the written
“no-no’s” that constitute life here.
FOCUS
(Continued from Page 2)
caught up in the victory caravan
on “march” to the capitol. With
the assurance of a thrilling 16-6
victory, horns began to be heard
from every part of Hillsborough
Street and beyond.
I noticed several families caught
up in the procession, enjoying
every minute of it. Heads began to
emerge from windows and sky-
views of cars, and traffic was halt
ed several times as the number of
students on foot grew weaving in
and out of the line of ears.
At the capitol, a large number
of students were beginning to
gather at the statue facing Hills
borough Street. Cheers, shouts of
victory, and other loud and happy
exclamations rang clear, getting
louder and more excited as the
number of students grew. The un
inhibited expressions of pride and
exhilaration impressed me, and I
found myself cheering and shout
ing along with everyone else. The
sense of loyalty and school spirit
made me wish that the players
could have been there to see it.
This victory seemed to bring to
gether small units of a loosely or
ganized whole. The realizations
that all involved were cheering
for the same cause and that one
occurrence could bring so many
people together who might other
wise have been remotely associat
ed with each other, or not at all,
gave me a sense of happiness and
pride. My reactions to this experi
ence have not only seemed to make
me appreciate others more, but
also have served to focus my
thoughts on the happiness and
sensitivity which is within each
person, waiting for an opportun
ity to be brought to the surface.
