From the depth of great lessons, we learn to respect and appreciate a mandatory basis for happiness, not only at St. Mary ' s, but for life in society — a framework which culmi- nates our personality — friendship. In re- sponding to the ivholeness of friendship, we insert a depth to tradition, making it mean- ingful to us and invaluable to the legacy of St. Mary ' s. Traditions at St. Mary ' s manifest themselves in simplicity. We ivould not dream of passing on Hillsboro Street without ac- knowledging the kicking post. A quick trip to the Little Store, the anticipation of hall parties, the birthdays always remembered in the din- ing hall, and many other occasions become standard traditions for St. Mary ' s and at the same time a part of us as individuals. Familiar tradition reveals itself on a Saturday night when we run to sign in and finally when we congregate in one room for a reminiscence of the night ' s events. These are the things that repeat themselves, yet with a variety of mean- ing. We momentarily forget our books; a new kind of freedom becomes ours — and we ac- knowledge the independence of our growing maturity and individuality. We are the girls who fill these halls — with talking and laughing and friendliness. We have imbued into the walls themselves a kind of life ivhich throughout the years has grown to symbolize our movement and into which we have instilled our personalities. We have unconsciously filled an empty space ivithin us, and with a surge of unexpected awareness, we know we have found our place here — a place all our own which has developed and maintained itself while we hurried from the realization of our success. We smile noiv as we think back on it all, recalling the times when we felt crushing disappointment and the times most dear to us. We can relate many evidences of our happiness, coming to us in- significantly and with our deserving efforts; yet happiness touching every heart and always to be remembered. tit fvxmh-

le and And gladly ivould he gladly teach. — Chaucer Acting as chairman of the English Department is only a small part of Mr. Tate ' s life at St. Mary ' s. During the eight years in which he has taught English courses to both the high school and col- lege departments, Mr. Tate has shoivn a genuine interest which draws students to call upon him for countless reasons. Not only can one count on him to know the latest in literary circles, but also where one should go in New York after the play, or what the current feeling is concerning civil rights in Mississippi, his home state. The annual Circle ■ Beacon Christmas party ivould not be the same without Mr. Tate as Santa to read The Night before Christmas. It is during spring break that Mr. and Mrs. Tate undertake to chaperone a group of St. Mary ' s girls to Neiv York. To the Seniors, Mr. Tate probably holds a special place in helping answer the eternal questions of What am I doing? and Where am I going? In gratitude for his contribution in foster- ing a stimulating academic atmosphere on campus and to his untiring interest in the student of St. Mary ' s this Stage- coach is dedicated.
