purposes of the club is to make involvement
popular for students — not only a few individuals
working but as many people as possible who are
willing to give a little something to this school.
The S. O. S. will be a publicity club for
spirit, attitude, and St. Mary’s itself. The mem
bership is open to every girl at St. Mary’s. It
is not in the least selective, and there are no
dues. All the club asks is your interest and will
ingness to help.
There is no president of the club. Instead,
there is a board of directors composed of the
six members of the old Y. W. C. A. Their only
actual authority is to organize the club and to
appoint committees. Aside from this, all mem
bers of the club work together as equals — each
taking on her share of the responsibility and
work.
The club is going to become finally only
what St. Mary’s wants it to be. The S. O. S.
has already had their first meeting, and attend
ance was sparse. The club asks that everyone at
St. Mary’s be open minded and understand that
this is a serious project, but that it will also
be a lot of fun.
The club worked with the Vestry on the
Thanksgiving Carnival for the children from
the Governor Morehead School for the Blind.
They worked primarily with the publications,
decorations,.publicity, etc. There was a meeting
held Thursday evening to organize the project.
Everyone is urged to participate in the
S. O. S. — to help build the spirit of St. Mary’s
and to contribute a little of themselves to our
school.

President of academic affairs.
Becoming interested both in
more challenging work and in
returning to North Carolina,
he came to St. Mary’s.
“I’ve known about St. Mary’s
all my life,” commented Dr.
Miller, “mainly from past dat
ing experiences.”
Although he has no personal
advisees, he says “My job is
to help the students graduate.
I’d like to help everyone.”
Stated Dr. Miller: “I really
enjoy being a dean, but I
wouldn’t want to give up teach
ing, either. I am thoroughly en
joying every aspect of St.
Mary’s.”
