DEDICATION MISS FLORENCE C. DAVIS Always kind, always smiling, always helpful in every way, Miss Davis has been a beloved part of Saint Mary ' s for more than forty years. As Dean for many years, as teacher, as friend, she is esteemed by Saint Mary ' s girls everywhere because of her sincere interest in the school and in each girl individually. It is with a deep respect and gratitude that the 1949 Stage Coach is dedicated to her. THE CHAPEL A pause for meditation during a rushing day, a tranquil service on a Sunday afternoon, a crimson carpet with candles quietly burning on the altar, these things symbolize the inspiration and comfort of the Saint Mary ' s chapel. Three times a week and on Sunday, the little chapel is a place for worship, quiet thinking and peace of mind for every Saint Mary ' s girl. It is the center of school life both spiritually and personally. It represents the high ideals which Saint Mary ' s stands for, and it presents a challenge of conquest of character and soul to each student. The moments spent in the chapel are remembered moments when character is built. SMEDES HALL How many of our grandmothers have come up these same steps, through this .same door ! They must have felt the fright at the first crossing of the threshold and the reluctance at the last departure. Besides being a background for first arrival and final leaving, old Smedes has had the job of catching our tears shed for graduating friends, hearing sad week-end farewells, and — more joyful to remember — it has witnessed our after-Christmas reunions, and served as a place for evening dates and step-singing. The time-worn columns have stood by us through smiles and tears for more than a century. May they last forever. HOLT HALL After dinner bridge games in the parlor — Rec room jamborees — ringing pay phones — mad dashes in the rain to the dining room — bull sessions during study hall — all these symbolize Holt ' s own unique atmosphere, for within these walls lurks an intangible quality that makes life seem especially beautiful. Here is found a spirit of understanding and true friendship that is not re- strained by unfamiliarity. Despite their isolation, Holt ' s residents are noted for influencing cam- pus fads. In many other ways they prove that their position apart doe ' s not prevent their being an integral factor in the whole. A true hostess to jollity, this wonderful dorm, whose corridors were meant to echo laughter, is the place where every girl wants to spend her senior year. 3ur slogan : HM th« uo m , ' CHees ? soo-f-fie ' ADMINISTRATIVE SHEET Published da ' ' lv bv TKg fUmin ' rat ' O of Saint l .lry ' School a w t) lio r tpT C ci I Won Off w Di ' g es Digs And - VoltA.r- tL Z 9cu| + v uo ' ris Po pu la r .T-a K - Up f. to b W-et- 3 u eek of xfth S« i«ij Qt M v q v l tte Inat-deit a +. fkat as a 1 t_ s sa 3 ffeo 3h make a , em , 4W 6e l ek,h 1 ,e flop ' 31 sf ' ' hack-Up Club. fiend .V,,, '  M hdkatvi -Gt jc tet aC ,. «. he; .et«rf t u as seftoH-W o the. offiOtn rf it 03tnpaJ dub, alia ha n. €. n d 5 a O £1 083 tn ' t af U Hal I ah was ,« «. wu je .ti-aM • cieK f hahd afW- X+.

THE ROtkS 0ELLE fie P  hf« -f 01 - f COht- «•« - — ) RICHARD GABRIEL STONE, Ph.D. President After three years, his growing interest and love for Saint Mary ' s have shown dividends through the records of the students erherging from the school and through the work fostered by him at the school. Through friendliness, consideration, and kindness, he has culminated himself into the heart of every Saint Mary ' s girl and into the spirit of the school itself. MARTHA DABNEY JONES, DEAN THE REVEREND MR. I. HARDING HUGHES Efficient in every way, helpful with all problems, and patient with each girl are the characteristics of our respected Dean, Miss Jones. She has upheld and helped to promote the high standards and ideals of Saint Mary ' s. The students admire Miss Jones as both adviser and friend. Mr. Hughes ' cheerfulness, helpfulness, and friendliness further the true spirit of Saint Mary ' s over the entire campus. His personal interest in each girl is one of the main reasons for the respect and admiration that the stu- dent body has for Mr. Hughes as teacher and rector. 10 THE FACULTY Richard G.

Her sincerity and calmness have made it possible for her to handle each problem sensibly and well. Frances herself and her student government talks have inspired each girl. The time and interest which Frances devoted to student governement have helped to make it inherent and substantial in the heart of every girl. Vivacity, force, and versatility make Ann Moore immediately come to our mind. Nannie started out making her year a success from the very first by conducting the Orientation Week which furthered school spirit and class participation. In Nannie we see the true spirit of a Saint Mary ' s girl. 13 STUDENT GOVERNMENT OFFICERS Frances Drane Ann Moore Jeanne Brown Lelia DuPre Ann D. Heartt Susan Jenkins Frances has been a living inspiration of Student Government. Nannie has been everything that we could ask for in Vice-President of our Student Body. Jeanne ' s good judgment and dignity have made her very capable as Chairman of the Hall Council. Being secretary of the Hall Council is a tedious and never ending job, but Lelia never neglected her duties. Ann Dewey Heartt has led the day students through a successful year, furthering at all times a closer relation between boarders and day students. Susan Jenkins has carried out her duties as secretary of the Student Government Association in an efficient and dependable manner. 14 THE HONOR COUNCIL The Honor Council is the central branch of the Student Government Association. It deals with the honor and character of a girl, striving to correct any flaw that it may find. Broad-minded but conscientious in their judgment, nine members, Frances Drane representing the various classes of school and the Student Government Association, try any girl who reports herself or is reported for having violated the honor code of Saint Mary ' s, and prove her innocent or guilty. A capable faculty adviser is available at the call of the body for advice and consultation; however, the final judgment rests with the president of the school. Suitable punishments relating to the offense committed are placed on the girl after careful con- sideration of each case. The Honor Council practices secrecy, confidence and diplomacy in all its dealings, and the esteem and respect it commands is upheld by each of its members.

The Hall Council and Vice-Council for the school year of ' 48- ' 49 have done an excellent job in using discrimination in making their decisions. They have shown more than once their ability to look at incidents which are called to their attention from a completely impersonal standpoint, maintaining a reasonable amount of willingness to understand all sides of a situation. Jeanne Brown, Chairman of the ' 48- ' 49 Hall Council, with the assistance of Lclia DuPre, Secre- tary, has not only led the Counselors and Vice-Counselors through a successful year, but also she has helped them to set an example that presents a challenge to the future Hall Councils of Saint Mary ' s ... in that their efficiency has been unexcelled here. 16 Firs! row, left to right: Mary DuBose, Chairman; Rosalie Huske, Secretary; Lucile Best; Jeanne Brown; Betty Cheek; Rachel Cozart; Frances Drane; Anne Dewey Heartt; Jackie Knott; Ann Moore; Cynthia Perkins; Betty Ray; Lou Ann Watkins.

Class re- presentatives, class presidents, Student Government Association officers and faculty representatives compose this group which is designed to change or to modify rules of the school pertaining to dormitory or social life. Meetings arc held twice during the school year or at other times deemed necessary. A student chairman, Mary DuBose, presides over the meetings and is in charge of the proceedings of the group. Petitions signed by three students are handed to the Legislative Body to be discussed pro and con, to be voted on, and to be passed or rejected. If not passed in the origi- nal form, petitions may be handed to a petition committee to be revised and to be voted on again. Passed petitions arc sent to the president of the school who signs or vetoes it, thereby making signed petitions become new, wiser and more appropriate rules of the school. 17 CLASSES 18 WITHIN THESE WALLS SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Reading from left to right, first row: Elizabeth Guion, Vice-President; Ruth Sikes, President. Second row: Mary Mc- Naughton, Treasurer; Ellen Rixey, Secretary; Nelle Clark, Chairman of Assembly. The 1949 Senior Class of Saint Mary ' s has been an unusually talented and versatile one. Their greatness in number has only been an asset to the school spirit and smooth running of Saint Mary ' s. Surely, they have had their problems (one of which was that Senior English Course), but these they have dealt with conscientiously and intelligently. Ruth Sikes, President of the Class of ' 49, and other officers, Elizabeth Guion, Mary McNaugh- ton, Ellen Rixey, and Nell Clark made themselves a powerhouse for leadership; and any co- operation they received from the class was given not only willingly, but also spontaneoulsy as the result of the teamwork their officers maintained. From the beginning to the end of the school year of ' 48- ' 4g the Seniors have pulled together, standing out in every phase of school life as brilliantly as the stars that shine in a black mid-night summer sky — twinkling with sparkle, clever, knowing, ever eager to guide the way for those who look to them to illuminate the path and last but not- least — adding a beauty of spirit to Saint Mary ' s that would enhance the most realistic minded of persons. To the Juniors, because they ' re a precious lot, they ' d like to say, Whenever you hear ' The Bells of Saint Mary ' s, ' think of us, as we ' ll think of you and our ' forty-niners, ' and remember that it was we who said ' Carry on ' . 20 SENIORS ALLISON AMBROSE ANDREWS BAILEY ALLISON, EDITH FAWCETT Statesville, N.

Not Photographed: Tucker, Eleanor Blackwell 41 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT On this sixth day of June, 1949, we the senior class of Saint Mary ' s School and Junior College, being of sound body and sane mind, bequeath the following articles in the manner named below: Article I. To Dr. Stone, for his never-ending interest and wishes for each of us to do our best, we leave our heart-felt thanks, hoping that each year will bring him more success and happiness as president of Saint Mary ' s. To Miss Jones, for her help with permission slips and other problems, we give our sincere appre- ciation. To Miss Davis, we leave our love and best wishes for being a wonderful adviser. To Mr. Moore, caretaker of our Country Club, we leave the reserve shelf of the library, knowing that in spite of our many complaints, he has taught us more than we could ever thank him for. To Willie, we express our deepest thanks for the ringing of the cow bell and for the extra minutes he holds the dining room door open. To the laundry workers, we leave our split sheets and torn pajamas in hopes that they may find use for them as dust rags. Article II. We, the senior class, realizing that we have had many and varied talents bestowed upon us, trust that you, the student body, will fully realize the value of these qualities bequeathed to you. I, Toodie Sikes, leave my confused page list to Mrs. Hornback in hopes that she can straighten it out. I, Minor Jordan, leave my undying love for U.V.A. to Mary Mar Ragland. We, Betty Anne Vowell and Marguerite Burton, leave our ability to snow Miss Davis to Kay Way Nicholson. I, Edith Allison, leave my week-ends at Chapel Hill to Rachel Cozart. I, Ladre King, leave my debutante slouch to Mr. Broughton. I, Caro Davis, leave my never failing ability to ask intellectual questions to Vivian Scott. We, Frances Drane and Jo Ann Pinner, leave our knack of knitting in class to Betty Brown Lewis and Bert Allen Russ. I, Betty Winfrec, leave the many hours spent on the phone to Cinny Landis. I, Jeanne Brown, leave my many campus slips to Evelyn Oettinger, hoping that she may find them an useful addition to her collection. I, Pat Ambrose, leave my Holt parlor Iliad classes to the rising senior class. I, Blanche Andrews, leave my love for Betas to Ann Cahoon. I, Helen Wills, leave my liquid diets forever, trusting that some Saint will keep them better than I did. 42 I, Lelia DuPre, leave my nightly discontented hour to Lila Camp. I, Ann Burnette, leave my ability to shag to Shep Rustin. I, Frances Clark, leave my position as author of Sophomore Suzie — ya ' didn ' t know, did ya ' ? I, Dee Michie, leave my bangs to Betty Bowles. We, Mary DuBose and Rosalyn Senseney, the confirmed beach bums, leave for Ocean Drive immediately. I, Katy Evans, leave my hair-dressing ability to Miss Bason. I, Rosa Little, leave my eternal altar guild worries to Jo Gaither and Marjorie Sheridan. I, Betty Langley, leave my love for Lynchburg to Jean Wranek. I, Martha Bryce, leave my beloved white mice to Mr. Morgan. I, Anne Bradley, leave my switchboard worries to Mrs. Simpson and the snowed S.M.S. males. I, Sister Cobb, leave my ability to do the Charleston to Miss M. D. Jones. I, Isabel Carter, leave my position on the honor roll to Lucie Lane Ray.

Clarkophrodita Tunc 7, 1968 Senior English Division Paradisa Mount Olympus Dear Nelle, I haven ' t heard from you in so long that I thought I ' d write and let you know what ' s going on in Paradisa. I heard about your obtaining the position of teaching on Mount Olympus. Now it will take you only winged moments to fly to see us— if you have time. Incidentally it was only nineteen years ago that we graduated from our preflight school. Today some of our class- mates ' (little angels) arc graduating. Among them will be the daughters of Minor, Sue Leah Lloyd, Charlotte, Mary Catherine, Blanche and Jo-Ann — guess all our pin-ups finally tied the knot. Oh yes, Betty Anne ' s twins and Katy ' s triplets are graduating from high school. Speaking of married couples, I heard that Ruffin ' s fortune outgrew her meascly one carat, so she got a ten carat diamond for her last birthday. Wonder if Jean Craft ever made up her mind to take that Georgia pin. I read in the Daily Gabriel Horn that McNaughton, while sailing in her new copper jet plane, picked up Connie, Peggy, Rixcy, and Pat Ambrose at the Heavenly Journalist Convention. The plane accidentally collided with Jackie Murray ' s nectar colored rocket parked behind a cloud bank, however all escaped safely by sliding down a vacuum ray. The other day I dashe d up to the Golden Circle Department Store to do a little shopping. Guess you know that Frances Drane is president of the store and Susan is president of vice. Cut-up Duncan was floor walker, strutting around, organizing the salesgirls, Ann Burnette, Ann Bradley, and Frances Minter. Carolyn Watson and Caro were behind the perfume counter arguing about how much fifty cents worth of ambrosia would cost. Next, I stepped into the ele- vator of laughs and thrills, piloted by the immortal Frances Clark. After innumerable jerks and bounces, I glide into The Golden Robe Department. The dazzling souls of Winfree, Betsy Carter, Ann Johnson, and Edith Allison floated by, modeling the latest creations in angels wings— and lo, there was Miller on the scene shouting, Sharpy Do Believe. Seems she was reviewing the fashion parade for Betsy Shcpard ' s designing school for angelic angles. After all my cruising about, I decided to rest my weary self, so I ' took off my halo, settled down on a pink cloud, and turned on my television set. I turned it in to Dr. I. C. — Isabel Carter, that is. First contestant up was none other than Cuddles Wills— rewarded with a bottle of Carter ' s Little Reducing Pills. Nanny, without a doubt won the Atomic Bubble Contest, and Sue Joyner won the Who Can Exercise the Vocal Cords the Most Contest. Virginia Page, and Jo Bailey competed for the jack-pot question and Jo won it. The prize was a huge box of ice cream, candy, and cigarettes— remember how often her name was up on Miss Brown ' s bulletin board and how she had such a hard time carrying those cartons of goodies up the stairs. The program signed off with the Angel Chorus made up of Mary Suratt, Ann Townscnd, Dee Michie, and Rosiland Sesensey singing Here Comes Carolina, lina. Best I close, ' cause I gotta get ready for my blind date with Dante. I gotta look real good because Virgil says he ' s some kid. Write and tell me the news of Olympus. Eternally thine, Angelface Costner Secretary in Charge of Blind Dates Paradisa Dear Phyllis, Your letter was sheer ecstacy, Thanks lots. You asked about the girls on Olympus — so here goes. I ' ve been interviewing for the new faculty staff of the Olympian University. Joyce Richert, Doctor of Patiantology, Arthroloty and Libraioloty (she isn ' t very smart), is in charge of the Kindergarten group. Did you know that Catherine Cambell is professor of Texas Technology. I hear she grows cactus plants in her dreams. Molly Oakey and Margie Story are authors of the By Jupiter on the exaggeration of the Homeric simile. Jean Brown counsels the Athletic Department made up of two class classes. The first class of throwing discs is instructed by Teague and Robbie while Liz Erdman teaches horsemanship to horse-taming warriors. Last night we had a feast in the Hall of Zeua. The Circular Table was headed by Goddess DuPre. As the ban- quet progressed, Liz Guion recorded the minutes. Spellbound Martha Bryce, Jean Hoggard, Betsy Jones, and Betty Foreman flitted about with winged feet serving a delicious Bason special concocted by Mary Giles. Howls and chuckles arose from the assembly when White Armed Margarite Burton presented for entertainment, The Dancing Nymphs, Ruth Saunders, Nancy Duckctt, and Sally Thomas. After the banquet, we went to the arena. Toodie, presiding over the foot races, announced the events. The first was the ten mile stretch. Ann Whitener, Nancy Spoolman, and Martha Zachary competed, but Zach won overwhelm- ingly — no doubt third Smedes put her in good shape. Ladre King and Libby Kornegay fought a duel ' midst shields and javelins. They both fell over with sheer fatigue after several hours — sounds like Se nior English. I had to leave the arena early to attend the laying of the new corner stone of the Clarksonion Institute. The cere- mony was delayed a few moments while Martha Wallace dug out a few more inches of cloud where the foundation was to be laid; Did you know that Rosa Little is Commander-in-chief of the Cloud Diggers ' Guild ' Mary Dubose, who is Chairman of the House of Noble Gods, laid the Corner stone. Betty Brynes, honorary daughter of Zeua, presented to Dubose not only the key but the lock also. Comma, dash, and drop two lines. On the way home I encountered Ox-Eyed Anne McMulIand and Rosie Fingered Margaret Morris dashing to Trou, who had intercepted the prayers of Brother Hughes for salvation to Sistren Redwood, Betty Langely, Ruth Mor- rissett and Harriet Rutherford who were wounded by the wrath of Achilles. Since there is a dcscrcpancy in my late light cuts, parenthesis — I get two every full moon-end of parenthesis. I ' d better close this letter pronto. If I hear any more news about Saint Mary ' s graduating class of ' 4g I ' ll intercede with Zeus and send Mercury to bear the tidings. Immortally yours, PRGPHETS THE JUNIOR CLASS Reading down the stairs: Betty Ray, President; Betty Bowles, Vice-President; Marjorie Sheridan, Secre- tary; Anne Cahoon, Treasurer. The first year off at school is accredited to be the hardest, but the Junior Class as a whole felt it to have been the most successful for them also. The memories of fun and happiness mark out the other moments of homesickness or discouragement connected with starting a new life out in the world away from home. They worked hard; they succeeded. That first week ... a strange roommate . . . getting everywhere on time, or else . . . the Halloween party with an Injun Chief and Prune Face . . . research papers . . . new, firm friendships . . . the de-vine dance in the spring for the seniors . . . tears at graduation . . . anticipation of becoming seniors all molded into a re- membered dream of when the Juniors really grew up. 46 BATTLE, BETTY LEWIS Raleigh, N.

The Business Class has had a very successful year and has taken its place efficiently in the school and the Student Government Association. Always willing to assist in any type work for the Publication Staffs, the Business Class students, led by Mary Smith, President, are a vital part of the Saint Mary ' s cycle. The Business graduates of ' 49 have completed a one-year course of a thorough grinding-out of the key board which heretofore had been a two-year course. Solving many of the problems of the hunt and peck operators, these girls, by the time they complete this course, have really become speedies. It is with the same sadness the seniors experience at graduation, that the Business Students graduate; but they wish to take this opportunity to will all future Business Students better luck in sharing the privileges enjoyed by seniors. 54 SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Cynthia Perkins President Evelyn Oettinger Vice-President Betty Anne Williamson Secretary Lyn Jennings Treasurer SOPHOMORE CLASS Some were old girls, some were new girls, but all merged to form one class as the weeks flew by . . . outstanding underclassmen recognized by the new honor organiza- tion, The Beacon . . . anxious hours spent worrying about someone to double-date with . . . love affairs of Greek Gods and Godesses, research paper ' s, short stories, and sonnets . . . missing a whole class to wave at the President of the United States the day he rode by school . . . the long awaited Freshman-Sophomore proving to be everything we expected . . . the dignified white caps and gowns, the hard-worked- for diplomas, and the sad but impressive graduation . . . these things will remain. 55 SOPHOMORE CLASS Allen, Mary Frances, Statesville, N.

All of us new and green as grass but game. November brought our first school reports and a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. We survived them both. We put no stock in the HP man, for we were too busy with Xmas plans. Next came mid-terms ! Our teachers expected some surprising answers, but we were over the hurdle and this called for a celebration — a dance in February. Then high-ho for Spring holidays! We had a spot in the May Court too. Before we settled down to study for final exams we had our farewell party. Soon we were weeping over the departing seniors and glad we wouln ' t have to leave for ages and ages. P.S. Did we study?

We doff our hats to Pat, Peggy and Betty Ann for turning out three first-rate publications. BUSINESS STAFF Ads and such unromantic business as this are Berta Allen ' s concern.

CIRCULATfON STAFF Twice a month Cynthia Perkins and her staff make sure that each dorm is allotcd its share of Betty Ann ' s newsy Belles. It is with this group that the final job of getting the paper into circu- lation rests, and it does its important part efficiently. u. i i 66 THE CIRCLE Members: Lelia Du Pre; Ann Moore; Mary Giles Stewart; Susan Jenkins; Catherine Campbell; Elizabeth Guion; Ruth Sikes; Frances Drane; Jeanne Brown; Betty Anne Yowell; Nelle Clark; Mary McNaughton; Lu- cille Best; Barbara Wooten; Rosalie Huske; Aurelia Fulton; Helen Brundage; Heilig Harney; Bert Allen Russ. 67 Aurelia Fulton President Anne Townsend Vice-President Mary DuBose Secretary Ruth Saunders Treasurer Mrs, I.

MU CHEERLEADERS Betsy Shepherd President of Mus Minor Jordan Vice-President Sigma Team, the Mu Team is after you today . . . and so we were all year long. On the hockey field, we ran ' em crazy, and we really fouled them up on the basketball court. We made volleyball and baseball an awful nightmare . . . ask any Sigma. Right behind the whole Mu Team were Betsy and Minor. Their inspiration and leadership just could not be beat ! We had some cheerleaders too ! Boy, what yells those gals could do. They started the first day we had a Mu vs. Sigma meet in the gym, and they kept yelling until the last one. Lucile Best was the head cheerleader and Phylis Costner, Helen Humphery and Patty Starr helped her. The Letter Club is our honorary athletic organiza- tion. The members have made at least two All Star Teams in order to receive their letters. They try to direct the class sports and extra-curricular activities; moreover, they should be given the highest compliment for their promotion of good sportsmanship and school spirit. Under Sara Ann Procter ' s guidance, it has had one of its best years. ATHLETIC COUNCIL MEMBERS.

They possessed all any athletic society could want — spirit, sportsmanship, enthusiasm, and the will to win. Encouraged by their leaders, Dot and Robbie, the Sigmas went into every game with unsurpassed zest and vigor. Yes, they gave the Mu ' s a fit all year long. On the hockey and softball field they were superb, and we all saw the many goals Nannie and Frankie racked up. Course, our Posture Queen, Ann Cahoon, was one of the honored Sigmas too. Cheering and backing their team up at all times were Peggy, Ginny, Mary Lou, and Jackie, the Sigmas agreed that ' ' Red and White — Red and White — Yes, Sigmas — you ' re all right ! ! The athletic council planned and guided our athletic program. This being one of Saint Mary ' s most successful years in athletics, shows the time, thought and work that the Council devotes to athletics. LETTER CLUB MEMBERS.

Chosen by the students, these eight girls represent the ultimate in femininity combined with efficiency that is the standard of all girls at Saint Mary ' s. Stately erect carriage is the mark of the marshals as well as grace, tact, and poise. Everyday the marshals are seen leading the orderly chapel lines with a solemnity that is characteristic of the worship here. To follow the slow pace of the marshals into the chapel sets the mood for reverence and peace that is afforded there. On Sundays, the Chief marshal, Edith Allison, conducts the pre -church assembly. Girls on the right sit in the nave. Girls with dates may leave. Each Sunday as these familiar words are spoken there is a scramble for the door and the chapel line that is formed in the hall. We wonder at the mysterious scheme by which the marshals organize the lines, frantically counting off and dividing the groups that sit in the nave from those who sit in the transccpt. All Saint Mary ' s follows the excellent examples set by the marshals in dress. We believe that this year more than ever the marshals have expressed a neatness and suitability which is admirable. Gowned in white, the marshals serve at all school functions. Conducting the school concerts, they bring about a well ordered atmosphere which is essential for the smoothness of our programs. The confusion of commencement is lessened in their serene but business-like hands. When the handkerchief is dropped by our new chief marshal on the last day of school, again we look to our marshals as perfect examples of leadership and tradition.

DANCE MARSHALS Dim lights — soft music — black and white — dancing eyes and feet — the bustle of flowers and men arriving — new dresses — Goodnight sweetheart. The best memories of all center around the Saint Mary ' s dances, and for their part in the gaiety we thank the Dance Marshals. Officiating as hostess at the three big dances, the Senior dance in the winter and the Freshman-Sophomore and Junior-Senior in the spring are these champions of the light fantastic. Their smiling faces and friendly greetings are a pleasing invitation to all the old and new comers to the dances. They are the spirits that move about seeing that everybody gets a rush, taking care of lost stags and re- minding men that you smoke in the Bull-pen. If the music is too hot or too sweet, they are the ones who make requests to the orchestra. Just remind the marshal and you may rest assured that the man of your choice will break whether he be Carolina, State, or Mr. Moore ! So you don ' t know anybody? Then you haven ' t been to a girl-break. These informals that are held monthly in the gym are the best ways of all to get acquainted. Here the marshals take charge of the funds and the music and sees that each boy gets a big rush ! It ' s an unusual experience to compose a feminine stag-line but we ' ll all agree that it ' s among the most pleasant of ways to entertain a date. Chief Marshal is Katie Evans who reigns as a queen of the dance as well as of the May. Her charm and winning smile greets the guests in Smedes Hall and makes a noteworthy impression. One of the traditions concerning the dances are the numerous pre-dance parties and picnics for out-of-town guests. There is never a scarcity of good times and high spirits that increase the popu- larity of the dances. They are an integral part of the fun of a dance weekend and cause for every- one ' s agreement that a dance at S.M.S. compares favorably with those at any of the nearby in- stitutions of learning. The blue satin armbands that the marshals wear are more than means of identification. They stand for all the qualities of southern hospitality, graciousness, and smooth charm that we as- sociate with the gayest belles of all — the Dance Marshals. EIGHT OUTSTANDING GIRLS To be selected as one of the most outstanding girls on the campus is an honor that every Saint Mary ' s girl covets. Each year the student body bestows this distinction on eight girls from the JEANNE BROWN BETTY ANN YOWELL LELIA DTJ PRE MARY GILES STEWART 84 EIGHT OUTSTANDING GIRLS senior class.

The queen represented ' ' day and the members of the court represented the colors of dawn. Group dances portrayed breath of pine, ' high- tangled bird notes, poem, misty bloom, and a late line of crimson sun. The members of Orchesis under the direction of Mrs. Guess gracefully performed the dances. 90 Katy Evans, Queen; Frankie Allen, Maid of Honor; Attendants: Jean Craft Jenkins, Mary DuBose, Catherine Camp- hell, Betsy Carter, Betty Winfree, Betty Bowles, Mary Marshal Ragland, Betsy Wood, Rachel Cozart, Tina McNulty. 1949 MAY COURT Our lovely Queen Katy was chosen to reign over Saint Mary ' s 1949 May Day Festivities. She and her eleven attendants were elected for their poise, beauty, and charm to take part in a program with dances based on the theme and plot of L ' Allegro. The hero, L ' Allegro, was overcome by Melancholy, but Mirth and Liberty came to cheer him and free him from the Goddess of Gloom. After the Maypole dance the villagers came to tell stories and sing L 5 Allegro into a restful sleep. When he awoke he was happy and crowned Mirth his queen. A YEAR IN THE GROVE This year, 1948-49, A Year in the Grove is being presented as a special feature of the Stage Coach. The aim of the Editor is to point out the events of the year which were really big ones and, along with these, to point out a few of the ordinary everyday habits which may not seem outstanding, but without which Life at Saint Mary ' s ' 1 would absolutely be amiss; this doesn ' t mean that everything always stays unchanged and that the inhabi- tants of the said Saint Mary ' s are not prcgres- sive-minded people, but it should signify to the reader a few of the occurrences that befall the girl who leads a typical Saint Mary ' s life; it is the further object of the Editor to combine these units of Life at Saint Mary ' s into a cherishable diary that will be compact enough to inscribe as with a pen of indelible ink upon the hearts of all Saint Mary ' s students, faculty, and friends of 1948-49, leaving an unerasable blot of the presence of unequaled pleasures which exist herein. It all began on September 27, 1948 — Polio, Public Enemy No. 1 , had delayed our opening. This didn ' t faze us. Once Saint Mary ' s school year of ' 48- ' 4g opened, it opened with a burst of school spirit which could hardly be paralleled anywhere ! the new girls and not wait to be impressed. This was the night no one was irritated; no one could chat or smile too much; hands didn ' t get tired of shaking hands; introductions, even the unavoidable repeated ones, were fun. How spicy can a hen party get. Orientation week and preliminary place- ment testing were crowned with the popular Old Girl-New Girl Party. Everyone was on the job, making impressions which of necessity had to stick. The old girls exchanged ideas with the new, while the faculty proved to be masters of memory by remembering the names of last years Big Sisters, saving embar- rassing situations for their new Little Sisters. This was the one night when all old Saint Mary ' s girls knew they should try to impress Zoom ! Into the routine of classes we dove like eager beavers, searching for rivalry at the same time maintaining teamwork; and school spirit soared higher and higher! One had only to observe the faces of those girls con- versing seriously or on the subject of MEN (also seriously) to conclude that Saint Mary ' s was loved by all. The new girls were quick on the uptake to Saturday morning breakfast at the Toddle 93 House — famous as T.H. on the Little Store Book. Seniors organized their crack-up clubs for the survivors of Ill-He Had, A Knee-He 1 © j l | 4 Tj i m Had (borrowed from The Belles), and O Did See. Thanksgiving had past and most had ex- perienced the pleasure of refreshing home cooked meals. O Zeus — what paradise ! Christmas was approaching and with it the anticipation of celebrating after the Divine Comedy, research papers, and Greek mythol- ogy. The Senior Dance plans were under way and Saint Mary ' s was the home where brains is the important dish of the kitchen. Don ' t scream! Mcrrv Christmas. No lil J 94 D.C. test. Sign pledge. Charles Albert Petigru Moore. Never before or never will be a more excited group of girls than the Seniors who thanked THAT MAN for such a lovely Christmas card. The Senior Dance was an inevitable rushy success as social life re- sumed its pre-Christmas peak. Decorations, music (oh-so sweet), and men! — all were out of this world ! The Banquet was at worst more fun and full of enthusiasm than ever before; but what was missing; the Circle fooled everybody and didn ' t walk — but the Seniors did at 6:30 Tuesday morning. Whisked home we were, and could such a short Christmas have been more packed with fun, desires for the big show, chuckles, parties, debuts, and in general, a good time for everybody. Sunday, January 1 , Dear Diary, Where did time march that time? We got back in the grove and settled down to some good hard studying for exams. How much can a person have to know? — Yes, this was the Saint Mary ' s question of the month. The rumors were true. We didn ' t get exam vacations! Oh, Dear Diary — Aren ' t they wonderful? The popular threesome of the campus or in other words, you peon, the Stones— the hum- orous Richard (he ' s really worth listening to) and Mrs. Stone who has not only worked her fingers to the bone on the little Chapel but is so nice to know; then of course there ' s Dr. Richard for whom anyone would be willing to open the door! Then there were other things, Dear Diary, that all like you to know. My heart sank each time I raced to the mail call and found an EMPTY MAIL BOX. Mail ' had the power to lift me right up on a cloud or to sink me to the lowest depths of Inferno. Dear Diary, please make Saint Mary ' s patrons (you know which ones) to address all mail to Saint Mary ' s 95 School and Junior College. The girls like mail, but not by means of the pony express. . . . 581 1 — Will you please send a cab out to Saint Mary ' s School right away? I have to . . . well you know the rest of that so de- tails won ' t be necessary. The worst came on those nights when for days and nights we ' d been trying to get one of the pay phones and after succeeding in getting as far as Operator . . . the 10:15 bell rang — to the halls, girls, all girls must be on their halls. Speaking of halls, they came rushing out of them, from Smedes, the Rocks, Holt, the Wings (all fine halls) going everywhere imaginable. Spring vacation had come. It was the time of year when green leaves were greener, flower buds awoke, birds chirped more gayly, and Saint Mary ' s gals longed for the open air, whether in a convertible with the top relaxed or strolling in the noon day sun. The Sun Porch where one learns all the latest news broadcasts (S.M.S. dirt), anticipates 96 officers for the following year, and becomes better acquainted with what it would be like to be at the beach again under the beaming rays of Old Man Sun had long since been the last word as far as the real heart of Saint Mary ' s is concerned. The Freshman-Sophomore was, of course, terrific, as are all Saint Mary ' s dances. The usua l procedure of meeting new faces, at- tracting new faces and having them back to the Junior-Senior, which wasn ' t too long after the Freshman-Sophomore, was bound to exist •again for some. From this time on, projection into the future is necessary. The Grove of Stately Oak Trees ' neath which we wandered under the lovely five o ' clock sun and in the atmosphere of nature will be popular again. And come what may, Miss Digges and her fortune guidance will reign supreme while Mr. Moore will continue to get an inside view of Tom Jones (poor boy) ! Mr. Hughes will 97 be our lovable counselor, ready to understand all when the need may arise and Mr. Guess will keep his economics, sociology, government, and history students guessing as time marches on. Miss Davis, who was loved from the begin- ning and who did all that anyone could to make the Seniors have a successful year, will find out that the Student Body has voted to dedicate the Stage Coach of 1948-49 to her and that the Seniors hope she ' ll remember them with half the fond memories with which they associate her. The Senior Class of ' 4g is larger than most in years before, but this has been and will be to their advantage because they have the desire to stick together and have done so in making contagious the spirit of Saint Mary ' s. Dear Diary, it ' s a good spirit ! Make it expand and expand until there ' s no more room for ex- pansion. Make it pull the veins of all Saint Mary ' s girls into one heart working as one organism as the ' 49 Seniors have done. Al- 98 though it ' s true that Big Surprises Come in Small Packages, the many tenants of the House of Saint Mary ' s Senior Class have lived up to the expectations of all its landlords. Fine contents are they now and shall be. The May Day program, the Commence- ment Play, the Baccalaureate Service, the final address and the issuance of sheep skins shall ring a grand finale when the returning and separating friendships are climaxed with tears, some instigated by joy, others by sorrow, and others by sentimental reflections of the beloved times had at Saint Mary ' s. Then shall ring in the hearts of the 1949 Seniors this question: Our Ships Have Sailed — Where Shall We Anchor? The Editor 99 100 SAINT MARY ' S SCHOOL AND JUNIOR COLLEGE Richard G.

Vnd directly related to that position of leadership 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 backward with- out the benefits of education. Yes, the United States is a leader in the field of education too— but ' for bow 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. . . .

' To him it looked like good wisdom and sound reason- ing. One day a friend dropped in, and seeing the motto said, ' That ' s a good motto you have there, Bill, but I know a better one No man is greater than his decisions . ' And so the ' Thoughts ' motto was replaced with the ' Decisions ' motto and Bill ' s thinking moved up a step. Now then, both mottoes are good, but I believe that if the last one was replaced by: No man is greater than his faith, Bill ' s thinking would take another step upward For after all, according to our faith so are our decisions We cannot make great decisions without great faith.
