VOL. XXXVV NO. 3
TO ALL OF YOU-
FROM ALL OF US
by Martha Kornegay
Most girls would agree
that parents are like boys-
“you can’t live with them and
you can’t live without them!”
There were many times in
high school when we found
outselves literally gritting our
teeth to avoid blurting out
exactly how we felt about our
parents at a certain moment.
‘Be in at midnight,” “You are
not leaving this house in those
jeans,” “You cannot go out
with that wild boy,” “Cleanup
your room,” and “Eat all of
your green peas” became
very familiar phrases which
we were all forced to live with,
all the while thinking that our
parents were depriving us of
fun high school days.
However, now that we are
away from home and the
constant surveillance of our
parents, we can appreciate
inem more and realize that we
actually could not live without
them.
the St. Mary’s population is
that we all enjoy the freedoms
of being at college, but we also
enjoy the luxuries of home.
Since being away from our
parents and home, many of us
have had to learn how to work
a washing machine and dryer,
iron, sew on buttons, and even
worse, how to wake up to
alarm clocks. No longer can
we take our frustrations out on
our families. It is now our
rodmmates that have to suffer
through our bad moods, and
they are not always as un
derstanding as our parents
would be. One of the first
things that we missed was
Mom’s good ole home cooking.
It has taken two months, but
we are finally getting used to
the St. Mary’s cafe food as
well as 5:00 dinners. Even
those pesty little brothers and
sisters are missed at times-
especially when we need

Hirst they will get to eat in the
cafeteria with students. After
eating they will go trick or
treating in the dorms. Each
dorm is preparing something
for them, but whether they get
a trick or treat is still a
mystery. After they have
gotten their full of candy from
the dorms they will have one
final treat. The Cold Cuts will
play for them.
There will be about 40
students coming and they will
be mostly 2nd and 3rd
graders. We need people to
help with the children and on
the dorms. Pleace come and

loan! Now we are blessed with
not just one mom, but fifteen
“hall moms” to tell us how
much weight we have gained,
how our outfit and make-up
looks, and to approve or
disapprove of our dates.
Of course these things
make home a nice place to
visit, but Mom and Dad you
are the reason that we miss
living there. Your constant
support, your unmatchable
devotion, and your never
faltering love are what we
truly appreciate now that we
are living away from home.
Thanks for everything Mom
and Dad!!! To show you our
gratitude we give you this
weekend with love.
P.S. Mom, your spaghetti
really is the best!!
