Then tests . . . working out schedules . . . and at last Saturday ar- rived, and big sisters treated little sisters to lunch and mo ' ies, introduced them to Raleigh, and guided them down a forbidding line of friendly and welcoming faculty members at the Old-Girl-Nevv-Girl party. Goblins and witches and sheet clad Saint Mary ' s ghosts roamed the cam- pus the night of the Halloween party, given by the Junior class for the school. Thanksgiving finally came. For many of us it meant our first trip home. Decemijer was a full month, and suddenly the day of the Senior dance had arrived. The dance was divine and the campus overflowed with men. On the heels of the dance came the Seniors ' lovely pageant of the Christ- mas story. Miss Davis ' skill lent the play beauty and effectiveness. The Glee C lub displayed its talents at a program filled with Christmas cheer. ' e were really glad to see one another when time came to return, although we realized that exams were just around the corner. Somehow we managed to finish them, and once again returned home ! But much to our surprise, we had a real vacation, for we were snowed in. The snow lingered for several weeks. ilr ' l |.-.|:.v ■ ' Vv ' lili ■■ If f;g ate ' iiML k4 ■ ' ' 1 ] t H ' ••SI - t, and then one morninti spring was here. Along with the return of spring came Spring Vacation. We returned just in time for Easter and each of us was in- spired by the lovely all white early service. The Freshman-Sophomore trans- formed the gym into a spring garden, and all agreed that the dance couldn ' t have been better. Soon after it, the Junior-Senior again beautified the gym. For some it was the last Saint Mary ' s dance and the realization made us sad. A Fantasy of Nature was the theme of a most beautiful May Day, and Sande was certainly our pride and joy as she reigned as queen Everyone claimed it the loveliest in the history school. Final recitals and concerts took the lead on the calendar of events. Exams crept up on us for we could not realize that the year was almost gone. How- ever, soon commencement was here. Miss Da ' is ' Shakespearean play opened the activities, with Class Day coming up next day. The Glee Club gave its final recital on June 5 and then we at- tended Church in our little chapel for the last time. And the day was here ! Dr. Stone awarded the high school diplomas in the auditorium, and seniors re- ceived theirs from Bishop Penick in the Chapel. Finally, Edith, with the entire school surrounding her, dis- missed school officially with the drop- ping of the handkerchief. SAINT MARYS SCHOOL AND JUNIOR COLLEGE Richard G.

First in production of wfieat, corn, cotton, petroleum, coal, and iron! First in commu- nications,- in motor vehicles per capita— first in many essenpals to good living and prosperity. And directly related to that position of leadership IS our standard of education— for it has been shown that a country ' s wealth and welfare rise along with its educational standards. And countries rich in natural resources can be poor and backuanl with- out the benefits of education. Yes, the United States is a leader in the field of education too— but for how long? Appalling con- ditions prevail today in many of our schools. Many of our most brilliant teachers are working against odds— crowded classrooms, shortages of equipment and textbooks, long hours. . . . Thousands have left the profession for other work. You, and every United States citizen, will suffer from this situation, because it cannot help affecting our national prosperity before long. WHAT TO DO? Today—make it your business to take these tu ' o steps: 1. Check up on educational conditions in your local schools; 2. Back up and work with organizations seeking to improve teachers ' working and living conditions. For only by keeping our educational standards high can we hold our place in the world and assure a prosperous future for our children.
