The verv reputation of St.
Mary’ s is at stake with her honor
s.vstem. To emphasize this, the
school tries to instill in every rirl
the importance of honor. How
ever, the real existence of a suc
cessful honor sj’stem deiiends on
everv individual’s juarantee of
hi"h ethical standards. Its success
also relies on the entire student
body’s s u p p o r t of the Honor
Board.
Our Student Government

it administers the Honor Code—

A TIME TO GIVE
THANKS j
By Camilla Fisher
Many years agro a grouff
.American colonists took occ*t
not only to fea.st upon theft
nets of a year’s hard wort- j
also to give humble thaiil'fr
their lives and for the iie"' (
vest upon which they so
depended. Living in eonstai'*’ i
ger as they were, the eol'f 
were sincerely grateful i» '''
thanks for the mercies of 1
.vear. knowing that the.v i
easily be deprived of all th^** *
had labored for, even of thei’’ l
lives. \
From that moment on.
has been set aside each veaC'
all Americans can gi''^
thanks for the manv hk‘‘;
they have received in the p'f.
year. This is a time when
and friends can get tog^
til"
enjoy a festive meal or
each other’s compan.v. j.;
But the most important 1’’'^
O *.1 ? A-1 - _ A_ t
Thanksgiving is that "'e
our Creator for the opportHj'j
be with family and frien‘‘”
for the many blessing—
1 - -
large — that
we
too fr‘’‘l
take for granted. In oni
,• li"".
ilii'
pre-occupied life we slio""
forget the real importa'“
Thanksgiving.
M't’
As was expressed so
George AVashington, Tln>"^,.i
ing is the time “that
unite in rendering unto d*
sincere and humble
His kind care and protr**’; ,i
the people of this countf'^:
for all the great and
ors which He has been P**’
confer upon us.”
girls a clear guideline for per
sonal conduct; they shall not lie,
cheat, steal, leave campus with
out permission, c o n d u c t them
selves in a nature to reflect upon
the reputation of a student or the
( ollege, or break any of the rules
coneerning the use of alcoholic
beverages.
Aloreover, the meaningfullness
of the honor system depends on
the total support of the Honor
Board. To keep respect for this
■s.v.stem, there must be a Honor
Board that deals with offenses to
the s.v.stem. The Honor Board acts
not to luinish but to correct. Its
actions further strengthen the
foundations of honor. With stti-
dent support, its decisions earrv
weight; however without it. it's
luirjiose is futile.
Thus, the oath and Honor Week
are utterly ineffectual without
conscientious jiersonal responsi-
bility and sujiport of the Honor
('ode and Honor Board. And with
out a suci'essful honor s.vstem. St
Mary’s weakens its re]uitation of
high moral standards and loses its
heritage of honor.
