VOL. XXXVIV, NO. 1
ST. MARY’S COLLEGE RALEIGH, N.C.
DECEMBER, 1976
Mrs. Earnhardt
by Mary Lawrence Hicks
The Pinkertons have
ordered new uniforms for next
year. Instead of the
traditional gray outfits they
will be dressed in St. Mary’s
sweatshirts, gym shorts,
sweatsocks and high top
tennis shoes. They have
planned a seasonal change
from navy for winter to white
for summer. The new high
speed efficiency weapons on
order are sling shots to be
loaded with Grogan’s
meatballs.
In addition to the new
uniform, the squad has
decided to try using disguises
for “hard to catch” offenders.
They now each have a
collection of three disguises: a
clip on mustache, a set of
glasses with nose and
mustache attached, and a pair
of bright red lips. In the future
the pinkertons intend to
request several more Pizza
nights so they may make their
collection complete.

EXAMS ARE
CANCELLED !!!
NEW LOOK FOR PINKERTONS
Exams for the fall
semester at St. Mary’s
College have been canceled.
The idea of canceling exams
began at a faculty meeting
several weeks ago. The topic
of exams arose with the usual
comments made. It was
Harry Callahan, drama dept,
head, that stood up in the
meeting and said that he had
decided not to have exams.
The faculty responded with a
loud applause. Other teachers
followed Callahan’s move.
The teachers decided to all
leave on a trip to Europe
immediately following classes
on Friday, December 10th.
We asked several of the
St. Mary’s faculty their
reasons for canceling exams.
The answers are as follows:
Elgiva Watson-“I don’t
feel that I’ve given the
students enough notes for an
exam.”
Myra Beth Mackie-“I
don’t want to grade them.
Instead, I’m baking all my
classes fudge.”
John Tate-“Well, I just
said to myself, ‘John, this is
stupid stuff.’”
Hannah Scoggin-
“Exams? Are we supposed to
give exams? Oh, that’s right,
we are. Oh, we’re not?”
Harry 'Callahan-“I’ve
run out of easy questions.”
Beatrice Greewalk-“Out
of all my classes I have four
people passing. I just can’t
risk it.”
Rebekah Gunn-“I’d
rather all my students go out
and get rogered.”

Seniors Receive Self-
Determining Hours
■For Graduation-
by Mary Lawrence Hicks
A petition was recently
passed for seniors allowing
them to determine their own
credit requirements for
graduation. Any student who
is passing all the courses she
is taking, whatever they may
be, will be eligible for
graduation. Those who have
suffered through courses they
disliked in order to graduate
are somewhat miffed, but
they are outnumbered by
those who were planning to
merely transfer. Cap and
gown orders have picked up
tremendously and the ad
ministration is working on
hiring several more ceramics
professors for next semester.
