DEAR EDITOR,
What has happened to the spirit
of the St. Mary’s girls? This ques
tion came to mind one day in
chapel as I watched two rows of
girls sitting down during the en
tire church service.
I realize that all of us may not
believe in the doctrines of the
Episcopal church, but this group’s
behavior was disrespectful and
completely disgusting. 1 agree
that we should not be required to
recite the responsive readings, the
chants, or sing the songs if we
don’t want to, but we can certain
ly have the decency to keep (juiet
and not talk from pew to pew
during the service.
We all knew before we came to
St. Mary’s that this was an Epis
copal school, and if one opposes
its beliefs as much as her actions
designate, she could have selected
another school to attend. St.
Jlary’s is a Christian family, and
the least we can do is pay a few
hours of respect each week to our
Fatlier. Thank you —
On Friendship
By Washington Irving
There is after all something iu
those trifles that friends bestow
upon each other which is an un
failing indication of the place the
giver liolds in the affections. I
would believe that one who pre
served a lock of hair, a simjile
flower, or any fride of my bestow
ing. loved me, though no show
was made of it; while all the pro
testations in the world would not
win m.v confidence in one who set
no value on such little things.
-Trifles they may be; but it is
by such that character and disjio-
.sition'are oftenest revealed.

EDITORIAL
It’s been a valuable and enjoyable experience working on the
newspaper. Valuable in that it has been an opportunit.v to learn the
basics of journalism and of a newspaper — layouts, news and feature
stories, interviews. ... It has most of all given me the chance to
meet and work with many people on the campus — both students and
faculty. Being editor also has presented many opportunities of being
in contact with many off-campus people. This .vear has been a fun
year too. There’s nothing better than getting the in.side poop and
being in the “know” or getting a chance to meet with an important
person or being passed an important bit of news.
Part of enjoying the job so much is due to such an outstandino'
staff. It’s probably possible for one person to run a paper, but she
certainly would not enjoy her job. There’s nothing better than the
feeling of assurance of knowing I have had a responsible staff to de
pend on. This year’s staff has given me this feeling by their beiim
hard-working, responsible and enthusiastic the whole year. To the
editors, typists, writer, cartoonists, jihotographer.s, jiroofreaders and
circulation people — a sincere thanks. ’
In Dru Haley you have certainly jncked a capable and responsible
editor for next year. Please give her the siqqiort that vou have given
me. PJven though this is my last issue, Dru will continue with m.v''staff
until .she picks her own next year. Changing editors doesn’t mean that
.vour job is finished; so please confinue .vour enthusiasm. Nothing can
be more pathetic than last year’s situation of Dru, ('yntv ilcAHster
and m.vself ending up writing most of the article.s because the staff
fell through at the end of the ,vear.
There’s only one disapiioinfmeut this year and that’s in the
manner of the .students’ support of and participation in the newspaper.
Ihe paper belongs to the students and it is there for tliem to have the
opiiortunity to express their opinions. There have been few letters to
the editor this year, but hopefully next year the students will better
use the newspaper as a vehiele for having their oiiinions and ideas
