1048 Cfje Castellan My, how the time flies bv. Another year comes to an end, And we must say good-bye. But before the doors are closed this year; Let ' s view those gleaming halls — To see what fun we ' ve all had At dear ole ' Charlotte Hall. Our acquaintance was made, One starry September night. With all the Cadets, their medals shining bright. Never will one forget — Arsenic and Old Lace With the Seminary applauding at a rapid pace. Even though their games fell on a school day; We waited with bated breath to hear the results of their play. We were honored to have their talents displayed By the Glee Club, band, and orchestra — In such a w-ay, W c will always remember that outstanding — C. H. M. A. So from S. M. S. we drop a line To thank you boys for a wonderful time. Olivene Taft it Wo J, Of EL Lots of wiggles, many curls, Scores of giggles, scads of girls: Thus we have a seminary. Caution lad! Be very wary! Love, you know, may quickly cool. It will take you in no doubt: Change you to a blithering fool. Then will promptlv kick vou out. L ' VOI Ere I end this warning rhyme, I suggest — Lad, use you head; Give Dan Cupid not a dime. You went there to become well-read. Edward Crouch 29

The bus starts up, but Oh — so slow, And then we think, Doesn ' t the driver know That we ' re in a hurry to get to the USO? We start to sing to pass the time, And before we know it we see the sign That says Patuxent Base ; and then, we know We ' re going through the gates to the USO. We are greeted at the door by Jane and Mrs. G, Then the fellows come over by groups of two and three. There are some you dance with and see no more, And there are others that seem to hit a high score And you think to yourself, I want to know more. And now we are leaving this place so dear: Some just for the summer — They ' ll be back next year. The rest are graduating and no longer will go Through the gates of the Base to the USO. But before we leave on our — we ' ll call it vacation, We would like you to take a little dictation. Thanks are in order for Jimmy and Jake Who have spun the records for those Saturday night dates. And now, to the staff, we really must go; We ' ve enjoyed being a part of the USO. Sally Turner 28

A a . in the little shed back of the Rectory at St. Mary ' s City, two small boys, the sons of Rev. C. W. Whitmore, then rector of Trinity Church, started a printing shop, using a bit of make-shift equipment and a lot of ambition and enthusiasm. John and Paul Whitmore are still at it, but they now operate the most modernly equipped printing and lithographing plant in Southern Maryland, at 286 West Street in Annapolis. They are very happy to have had an opportunity to print this issue of the Castellan for St. Mary ' s Seminary, and to pay tribute to the retiring presi- dent. Miss M. Adele France, whose en- couragement in their early days, did much to help them along the way toward business success.
