MARY’S March 7, Student Participation In Chapel By Dona Whitehurst Not only in the time we are stu dents at St. Mary’s, but in all the days of our lives, we are working toward the greatest blessing of all —to be Christians. Does each stu dent treat God with reverence? By banishing Him from our thoughts, we treat God with ir reverence. Going to chapel does not make one a Christian, but by treating God with irreverence dur ing chapel we shall never become good Christians. Unfortunately, it can be observ ed that student participation in chapel has not been reverent. In fact, during morning chapel it has been a question not of the manner in which we participate, but rath er of nonparticipation. Those stu dents who do not take part in hymns or in the responsive read ings of the Psalms are not exhibit ing the proper attitude of respect fulness. Onlj' the vulgar mind views reverence to be deg’’ading. Yet it is becoming more and more ap parent that students are taking this view. This harsh observation will become applicable to St. Mary’s students if the present conduct during chapel continues. Excessive talking, eating, chewing gum, improper attire, and general misbehavior during all services have been observed. To any visitor our irreverent at titudes are surely apparent. The softness in which hymns are being sung is equally noticeable. Fur thermore, it is almost impossible for the congregation to receive support from the small choir. No person will rise high who has disrespect for sacred things. Irreverence is an indication of weakness, yet the students of St. Mary’s should not be weak. Nonparticipation combined with an overall attitude of nonchalance during chapel will contribute nothing toward the individual. We are required to attend chapel. Why not make the most of it? Stand up to sing the hymns and repeat the responsive readings. We are mature young adults; therefore, the proper attitude and participation during chapel should he spontaneous. Warnings and threats should not be necessary. Think about God and participate. The time in chapel is for this pur pose, and this purpose only. Editor’s Note: The Edgar Caycee lec ture was the second in the sophomore series. However, due to the lack of in terest, sophomore lecture programs will be discontinued! Granddaughters’ Entertain Mothers And Grandmothers Wednesday February 26th was the big day for the Granddaugh ters’ Club. From :i:00-5:00, they held their annual alumnae tea for mothers and grandmothers who had attended St. Mary’s. Among the crowd that arrived, there were many mother and daughter look alikes. Mrs. Rankin, Peaches’ mother, could easily be spotted. Undefeated Tennis Team Begins ’69 Practice Athletic equation to balance: 6 old girls + 4 new girls energy St. Mary’s Tennis Team, 1969. It balances! The newness or oldness of each member of the Tennis Team is not as significant as the practice each individual must undergo to achieve endurance, strength, flex ibility; co-ordination, and agilit.y. However, Miss Jones, the spon sor, is always interested in induct ing new girls to perpetuate the team for the following year. Ev ery tennis season is partly a “building phase.” The team was organized four years ago when the new tennis courts were constructed. Since then St. Mary’s has not lost a match to another school. For the past two years SMJC doubles have participated in the state intercol legiate finals; last year, Martha Eskridge and Connie Johnson rep resented St. Mary’s. Miss Jones emphasises that the tennis team today has the poten tial to be as excellent as within the past two years, but “it’s been so cold, they haven’t worked out a lot yet.” Specific dates have already been set up for matches with UNC-G and Meredith; other probabilities are Duke and Carolina, and pos sibly Wake Forest, Salem, and High Point. 'ITie team hopes to be present at the MALTA competi tions at Mary Baldwin this spring. With Ann Parrish a vigorous president, the Tennis Team con tinues to boast other outstanding members of the student body: Sue Willingham, Connie Johnson, Martha Eskridge, Jo Ann Pea cock, Walker Holmes, Brett Ele- bash, Mary Morrison Pennington, Nancy Biggs, and Kack Harrison. The top stars are Sne Willingham and Jo Ann Peacock. In fact Jo Ann is rated the sixth girl tennis player in the state. With past su- })remacy and present determina tion, the 1969 Tennis Team has realistic hopes of not merely sur vival but continued triumph. The members echo the enthusiasm of Miss Jones: “I really think it’s great — and 1 hope we do real well,” said Walker Holmes, and Cu Johnson resounds, “The ten nis team is.” Frances Gilliam and Josie Peoples certaiidy had their family repre sented with all four Vann sisters present and even Frances’ older sister. Among the other mother’s present were Julie Badger’s from the class of ’.‘55, Sarah Chamblee’s from the class of ’29, and Helen Whitener’s from the class of ’23. The Granddaughters’ Club offi cers served the punch and coffee for the first hour and then after the welcome by the club’s presi dent Katherine Hunter and the in troduction by Miss Jane Augus tine, the Alumnae Secretary, a musical program was presented with Miss Cate directing and Mrs. Bulley accompanying. ’ITie enter- SIGMA MU CONTINUES BASKETBALL SEAS^^ The main purpose of Sigma-Mu and the athletic program is to have each girl become aware of sportsmanship as she participates in classes or in inter-scholastic ac tivities. The Letter Club is or ganized to inspire girls to achieve in all athletic areas. Two girls— Ann Sebrell and Jo Ann Peacock —have recently become members of the Letter Club. Also, as an inspirational factor, all-stars are given in individual sports. For their efforts in the Ping-Pong tournament Sigma Nancy Biggs and Mu Jo Ann Pea cock were both awarded all-stars. Jo Ann won the tournament for the Mus. Jo Ann also received an all-star when she won the bad- miton p:ame against Doris Stieg- man, a Sigma who also received an all-star. Sigma-Mu meets twice weekly On Monda.v and Wednesday at 4:00. The girls on the Sigma’s first team are: Nancy Biggs, Connie Darby, Susan Foltz. Walker Holmes, Liza Peun.v, and^* i brell.
