PAT’S DAY By Donna Whitehurst St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, is a great day for the Irish, honor ing the patron saint of Ireland. This feast day is celebrated throughout the world, wherever there are lri.sh people. St. Patrick converted the Irish people to Christianity and came to be known as the one who “found Ireland all heather and left it all Christian.” St. Patrick f o u n d e d over three hundred churches and baptized over one hundred twenty thousand peo ple. Many legends have grown up about St. Patrick. One of them tells of his using the shamrock to illustrate the idea of the trinity. 'ITie shamrock is the national plant of Ireland. According to legend, St. Patrick planted the shamrock in Ireland because its three small leaves represented the Holy Trinit.v. The green that we weaV on St. Patrick’s Day is sym bolic of the shamrock. One of the best-known legends is that St. Patrick charmed the snakes of Ireland down to the seashore so that they were driven into the water and drowned. St. Patrick’s death in March 461 has been observed since co lonial days. It has been observed nationally since 1845. Each year arrangements for New York’s St. Patrick’s Day parade begin short ly after New Year’s. The organi zation committee enlists the help of businessmen, churches, and gov ernment officials and employees throughout the cit.v. Come rain or shine," it’s a great day for the Irisli.’ TSW'T IT WHAT’S THE POOP? Dougie, we missed you in Com munion on Sunday. Martha Grundy, you’d better learn how to ride the ski lift before you try .skiing. Patricia L. has two more weeks to live. What a place for a birthday party, Clyde!

The mem bership now consists of seven girls. editorial- getting INVOLVED By Tibba Edgerton “John hasn’t written in two weeks!” “1 ruined my new dress in the rain today!” “1 can’t believe Anne and Bill broke up I” Are these our t.vpical worries! Are we so involved in our own little world that we’ve forgotten that there’s a big one out there? I think it’s too easy for us to se clude ourselves in a small school like ours. Take for example the sophomore project of having a series of discussions and speak ers on different subjects. The dis cussions were discontinued be cause not enough people were suf ficiently interested in them to bother to see what tliev were about. In the time it takes us to read this article, how many men will die in battle (not just Viet Nam. in which we’re involved, but other countries’ skirmishes too)? IIow man.v babies will die of starva tion? Although the list of the world’s tragedies is endless, the real tragedy for us is ourselves. The majorit.y of those who read the Belles will thoughtle.ssly skip this article, reading onlv those articles which “concern' them.” Those who read this article may agree with it, charging them- DEAR EDITOR; By Louisa Rogers I just have to disagree witt* viewpoints expressed in the * tide “Student Participation Chapel.” Maybe it is because’* not Espiscopalian and am sW cal about many common D, tian beliefs, but 1 absolutel}' ’ to believe a student is “not hibiting the proper attitude respectfulness” when she ® not, and I admit I usually take part in hymns or respon® readings.
