The month of October held a
lot of fun for all of the St. Mary’s
girls.
Octoberfest was the week of
October 21st through October
25th. Beginning on Monday dur
ing the assembly, all the students
and faculty saw the history of our
school re-enacted. Monday night
there was a bonfire, a storyteller
and a Cold Cuts performance.
Wednesday there was a Fun Run
sponsored by the Letter Club, and
Wednesday night a new game for
all called The Roommate Game.
It was lots of laughs. Finally,
Friday, October 25th was Parents
Day. Starting on Friday morning,
there were refreshments in
Smedes Parlor for the parents
and daughters, and then the par
ents attended the classes from
9:00-1:35.
As we went to press we were
looking forward to October 28th
through November 1st, the week
of Halloween. As tradition holds,
there will be a Hall Decorating
Contest, a great way to get the
halls together.
Happy Halloween! Hopefully
you have picked out your cos
tume by now.
