Mgr. 9a irc Mor sSdieolaii J Junior lc IUgg al iq!ijtfei4li Carolina RICHARD GABRIEL STONE, Ph.D. An dedicating this year ' s Stage Coach to Dr. Stone, we wish to strike a symbolic note. In this the first year of a new presidency, we stand between an old era and a new. We look back with justifiable satisfaction on one hundred-odd years of Saint Mary ' s, and from an observation of the wisdom, kindness, and vision with which Dr. Stone has administered his first year as president, we look forward to the future as a source of even greater pride. We Arrive . . . We Depart . . . ADMINISTRATION RICHARD GABRIEL STONE, Ph.D. President Eliot Frost Stoughton, A.B., M.C.S. St. Mary ' s remembers Mr. Stoughton with lasting affection and a deep sense of loss. The Rev. Mr. I. Harding Hughes, A.B., B.D. There is ample proof that Mr. Hughes ' in- fluence extends far beyond the mere conduct- ing of services in the fact that each girl views him, not only with esteem and respect, but also with warm friendship.

The vice-president is very much a public relations officer, and per- haps the fact that Liddy Bet has the gift of getting along with everybody accounts for much of Student Gov- ernment ' s success this year. Betsy is as well known for her subtle humor as for the able job that she, as secretary, does to keep Student Government running smoothly. 14 GOVERNMENT ERS It takes a good deal of coolness under fire to contend with a year of late lights, slept-through-break- fasts, and town slips, but Mar ' et just opens up that Norfleet grin, ef- ficiently sets matters right, and takes it all in her stride. What astonishes everyone is the startling contrast between Woolie ' s pixie personality and her dignified capability as secretary of the Hall Council. Betsy-Tom handles Day Student matters with a matter-of-fact ease and an exuberant vitality which quickly dispenses with any problem. MARGARET GARY NORFLEET Chairman, Hall Council HELEN WLILIGER BOYLE Secretary, Hall Council BETSY-TOM LAWRENCE President, Day Students 15 THE HONOR COUNCIL The Honor Council, the most respected, yet least encountered organization in school, is the cornerstone of Student Government. Its job is the firm maintenance of basic principles and s tandards of the school, and to its efficiency and good judgment is due much of what Saint Mary ' s has come to stand for. 16 The most active and essential of the Student Government organizations, the Hall Council directs the policies concerning dormitory life. By its capable enforcement of necessary regula- tions and practical solutions of day-to-day problems, this group makes it possible to place the maintenance of hall discipline almost entirely in the hands of the girls themselves. THE HALL COUNCIL 17 THE LEGISLATIVE BODY The Legislative Body, organized by the students, of the students, and for the students, is Saint Mary ' s answer to the democratic ideal. Feeling that each girl deserves a voice in the system that regulates her school life, this council receives and considers submitted petitions. It is thus a plastic organ of adjustment to changing times and conditions.
