Second Eerie Walk
, If you happened to be look-
out your window Tuesday
%ht, Nov. 6, around midnight,
not worry, you were not see-
things. It was not the Ku
Klan or some stray Hallo-
^®en ghosts that you saw — it
the Circle making its sec-
walk of the year.
^ith the torch leading the
the traditional circle was
**tined in front of Holt. The
^'^nibers thought they really
us fooled this time, but no
^te robes or lowered hoods
J''>ld disguise Becky Clark,
DuBose, Gail Goforth or
Summerhayes. These four
^Per seniors are the latest ad-
J^jons to the club. But the Cir-
gain is our loss in that
two top spies, Becky Clark
^ Anna DuBose, have turned
^itor and will no longer take
in the devious methods of
ifcle-watching.” It will b®
, cky business to get the in-
Scoop about the next walk.
^ keep your eyes peeled and
ears opened, especially
the end of January. If ®

you will know it's that time

St. Mary’s final production
of “The Boyfriend” proved ex
citing not only for the Father-
Daughter Day guests but also
for Mrs. Nancy Stamey. At the
conclusion of the performance,
Mebane Ham, Drama Club Pres
ident, presented to St. Mary’s a
portrait of Mrs. Stamey, paint
ed by Greg Moll. Mebane in
troduced to the audience this
“grand and gracious lady” who
has served St. Mary’s for 17
years and expressed her feel
ing that “her personal concern
for each individual student is
unparalleled by anyone I have
known.”
Dr. Pisani presented Mrs.
Stamey with a bouquet of long
stemmed roses and daisies. He
explained that although one
rose symbolizes love, 12 roses
symbolize the love that many
people have for her.
After honoring Mrs. Stamey
with a standing ovation, the
audience joined her in the din
ing room for a brief reception.
While enjoying refreshments,
she was given a hand-tooled sil
ver service.
The Drama Club wishes to
express sincerest thanks to all
who helped make the evening a
success. Without the help of the
students, faculty, administra
tion, and alumni, the occasion
would not have been possible.

SMC Fights Cystic Fibrosis
Vestry Aids Blind School
by Gaye Isenhour
The Vestry, headed by Neal
Johnson and Becky Clark,
sponsored a party for 42 ele
mentary-age children from the
Governor Morehead School of
the Blind on Nov. 19.
At 4:30, girls from each hall
went and picked the children
up. Then, a scavenger hunt was
held when the children looked
for rocks, leaves, thread, etc.
The first five children to come
through the cafeteria line won
prizes for finishing the scaven
ger hunt early. In addition, the
last two to go through the line
won prizes for their hard ef
forts.
A puppet show was presented
to the children in the cafeteria.
Margaret Williams was in
charge of the show, and was
helped by Laura Grimes, An
nette Kerlin, Kay Carpenter,
and Gail Shackelford. After the
puppet show, the Cold Cuts per
formed for the children. At this
time, the children joined in by
dancing, wearing the Cold Cuts’
hats, playing their instruments,
and singing. The heart of each
girl at St. Mary’s was warmed
by the affections and the hap
piness of these responsive
children.

Through the Sociology De-
partinent at St. Mary’s, students
were informed of a carnival that
was held Saturday, Nov. 3, for
the Cystic Fibrosis organiza
tion. Many students from N. C.
State, Meredith, Peace College,
and area high schools as well
as adults volunteered to help.
Four St. Mary’s girls helped
put on a puppet show. Margaret
Williams, Kay Carpenter, An
nette Kerlin and Gail Shackel
ford worked for the charity
carnival which featured Captain
Kangaroo. Laura Grimes, editor
of the Stagecoach, helped to or
ganize this project with Ms.
Hancock.
It was estimated that more
than 10,000 children attended
the carnival which was set up
in the lower level parking lot
of Thalhimers in Cameron Vil
lage. This event featured a
magic show, puppet show, train
ride and many different booths
containing various activities and
prizes for the kids. All the
money went to Cystic Fibrosis
research.
The girls really enjoyed help
ing with this project, although
it was hard work. A puppet
show was put on every 30 min
utes from 9:00 - 4:30; each
show lasted about twenty min
utes. These were hand puppets
that acted out a story on a tape
recorder. A similar show was
used to entertain the children
from the Governor Morehead
School.
Mrs. Celeste Bennett of Ra
leigh put the show together and
taught the girls how to work
the puppets.

Students Remember Father-Daughter Dav Fum
Velda Carter story book land featuring Char- ner of the Fn..,. .
by Velda Carter
Daddy’s day came and for
most of us it was lots of fun
and excitement. All the rooms
were scrubbed and polished
waiting for the arrival of their
favorite guy. Clothes and shoes
were stuffed under the beds to
keep daddy from fussing about
messy rooms. Each hall was
uniquely decorated and strug
gled to be a bit better than the
others. The unlucky artists on
the halls were stuck staying up
half the night finishing up the
decorations.
Four halls were chosen to be
the winners. The best decorated
hall among the Freshman class
was 2nd Middle Smedes. Each
father was given a cigar by the
stork when he arrived. Through
their drawings, they illustrated
their lives from childhood to
college. The Sophomore hall
winner was 1st West Smedes.
They portrayed a beautiful
story book land featuring Char
lotte’s Webb, Sleeping Beauty,
Wizard of Oz, and others.
There must be quite a few art
majors on this hall because it
all appeared to be professional
work.
The most outstanding Junior
hall was 3rd Cruik. These girls
showed a great amount of time
and work in their portrayal of
Disneyland. The winning Senior
hall was 3rd Holt. Their jungle
really attracted the daddies’ at
tentions, especially the monkeys
hanging from the ceiling. All
the halls were really cute and
original.
One of the main attractions
of the day was the tennis tour
nament. The father of Molly
Jordan, Tom Jordan, from New
Jersey and Miss Jones chal
lenged Pauline Betz Addi and
Burt Steins, father of Mary Jo
Steins. Jordan and Jones won.
Mrs. Addi was a four time win
ner of the Forest Hills tourna
ment and one time winner of
Wimbleton. 40 father-daughter
teams participated in the tour
nament with Laura Fanjoy and
her father the champions.
Each year Father-Daughter
Day brings a little more ex
citement to SMC campus. The
girls don’t really ever get tired
of being with their dads and
the dads love to spend the whole
day with their little girls. Even
though we have all climbed out
of our baby cribs and given
away our bottles, daddy will al
ways be one of our favorite
guys.
