Cold Cuts “Hamming it Up”
By Rebecca Dalton
The fabulous Cold Cuts have
added to their ensemble for the
third time this year. Tryouts
were held in the laundry room
on Monday, January 27 and in
ductions were on Tuesday.
Vicky Cockrum, Cristie Mur
phy, Marriott Little, and Bet
ty Henderson were chosen by
the old members — Jan Mor
gan, Jane Roberts, Susan Pitt,
Tina Blackley, Maggy Sargent,
Sally Lewis, Cacky Daniel,
Yorke Wooten, Kathryn Scott,
Nan Brantly, Allison Kerr,
Bonnie Ford, Carol Cleveland
and Loula Polites. Now the
Cold Cuts are eighteen strong
and sounding be^tter than ever,
if you can imagine that.
Recently I talked to Jan
Morgan, president of the Cold
Cuts, and asked her about some
Cold Cuts look for a cure as these seniors (from left to right)..
Cristy Murphy, JoAnne Nance, Vickie Clarke, and Evelyn
Buie (with Allison Kerr on the banjo and Tina Blackley on
the piano) join in the singing at the final senior tryouts.
Honor Society Has
Spring Inductions
By Patricia Ann Kislin
The High School Honor So
ciety had their spring induc
tions at the Wednesday, Feb
ruary 6 assembly. Each new
girl was escorted, to the front
of the auditorium by two old
members.
The Honor Society has start
ed a new policy this year, so
that freshmen can be inducted.
If a new girl has after a se
mesters work at 3.75 QPR, she
can be accepted into the organi
zation. This will apply to new
sophomores as well. Our new
freshmen members are: An
nette Banks, Diane Christopher,
Tricia Ann Dunn, and Mabel
Geoghegan. The new sopho
mores are: Bryan Cheek and
Ellen McCandlish.
We have one old girl that
has the required cumlative av
erage of 3.60 for two semes
ters. She is Mellanie Calvert.
Congratulations to all the new
members!
of the group’s engagements
this year. Naturarlly, their
popularity keeps them busy at
Carolina and State fraternities.
They have also sung for various
other groups, such as the Sen
ior Citizens of Garner, and the
patients at Dorothea Dix. They
have just returned from a
week-end of singing and skiing
at Sugar Mountain. And a
group of young couples in Ral-
eight have asked them to play
at a party which they will call
a Hobo Ball. The Cold Cuts
will really add to the atmos
phere there, just as they bring
smiles wherever they play,
especially to us girls at St.
Mary’s. Incidentally, Jan told
me that they enjoy their per
formances here at school, such
as the talent show, Father-
Daughter Day, and the Christ
mas party, more than all their
other performances.
That makes us happy. Cold
Cuts, because we love it when
you play for us! When’s the
next show?

Only Fifty More Pages To Go
By Sally McAlister
According to Kay Carpenter,
Chief Editor of the Yearbook
Staff, only 60 more pages re
main to be added to the present
168 in our 1974-1976 St. Mary’s
yearbook, the Stagecoach. Kay
has worked extremely hard on
this annual, not to mention the
work of Managing Editor,
Frances Creel, and the many
long hours of clicking and de
veloping by photographers,
Chris Tooker and Betsy Henry.
Committee chairmen, also hard
at work on their respective
sections, include Terry Douglas,
Libbet Gregory, Charlotte
Sharp, Barksdale Spencer, Les
lie Stokes, Kate Taylor, Ellie
Maynard, Mazie Swindell, and
Susan Raymer.
All of us are really looking
forward to seeing this 208-page
yearbook (which is presently
expected to arrive during the
first week of May since it’s
over 100 pages longer than last
year’s edition). The cost is in
cluded in our regular tuition
and the annuals can be picked
up in the Student Union im-
mediatoly following both the
announcement of their arrival
and the dedication. The an
nouncement and very meaning
ful dedication will be during
the Monday or Wednesday as
sembly closest to their arrival.
The staff members, writers,
and all other contributors have
been extremely cooperative to
ward their work, and all pre
vious deadlines have been met,
including one during exam week
of first semester! Meeting the
final deadline of February 8th
seems to be very promising and
at last this annual with the
secret cover will have a front
section of sixteen pages full
of color campus shots and the
very first yearbook pictures
ever taken of the Jivin’ “Spider
Club’’ and Snooping “Scoop
Group.’’ It will also have the
regularly included pictures of
teachers, organizations, classes,
and lots of candids.
Thanks to Kay Carpenter and
her yearbook staff, it won’t be
long now before we will hold
our very own copy of the SMC
“Stagecoach” ’75!

Freshmen to Entertain
Sophomores In Style
Attention sophomores of St.
Mary’s: get ready for a fan
tastic Valentine’s Dance on
February 16, 1975! With the
Embers providing entertain
ment, a surprise theme, and
$1,300 from the freshman slave
sale to work with, the dining
hall should resemble a New
York banquet room!
Mr. John Davis, MCee of the
auction, and the freshmen gave
us quite a selection on which
to spend money January 22 at
the sale. The items ranged
from Italian, Laotian and steak
dinners to maid service, laundry
service, catering service, and
trips to the beach and Lake
Gaston. Two of the big “spe
cials” were Dr. Pisani’s dinner,
which eight lucky and now poor
freshmen bought for $200, and
Dr. and Mrs. John Davis’ din
ner at their home which sold
for $68. So the night paid off
and the dance will soon be a
reality.
