But in order to establish and maintain that security, we must truly come to be the people of the world, not just of a nation norofa community. Only through this world unity can we hope to survive in the face of the Sreat destructive powers now loosed to mankind. To eain this unity, we as individuals must endeavor to instill in our hearts certain ideals, such as tolerance and love for our fellow man, and we must attain a true faith in God, one which will endure through all trials. The suidance and knowle dge we receive here at Saint Mary's Hall are invaluable aids in developing these ideals and in preparing us to accept the responsibilities which will be Ours in future years. Marion ENGELKE, Editor PAGE 2 So the Rt Rev. Everett FE. Jones, Dep: Bishop of the Diocese of West Texas to whose guidance and inspiration we look with confidence we, the class of 1946, dedicate our Yearbook with respect and admiration. PAGE 3 HW Lys Lee ‘ Nessage What is education? Skills and techniques, the mastery of the 3 R's? Knowledge of certain facts essential to our culture? Fun, and friends, and learning to work together? Yes, all this, and so much more besides . ote For education is a continuing process, through school, through college, and throughout life itself. Education is what you make it. And here at Saint Mary s Hall we hope you have caught a vision of what a liberal education really iS es, are For it can Sive you — respect, not just tolerance, for all mankind — concern for the common sood above and beyond personal gain — an open mind, free from prejudice and skeptical of over simplification — ability to discriminate in the overwhelming exigencies of life — a sense of direction and of dedication — Only with such education can one world be achieved, can chaos be avoided, and individuals grow into that good life which must be realized for all if one is to be free to enjoy it. May you build these tenets into your own lives and so into the world in which you live. [(olhonimns lee. food Hiss Katharine Lee Heap Mistress Miss Lee is the administrative head of our school. She directs the organization and the policies, selects the teachers, and interprets the school to other schools and to the community. In every phase of school life her personal interest is felt — in Capers-Elliott games, class activities, student government, even in the parties for the various clubs or groups. Her goal is a democratic spirit throughout the school, and any unfair clique ceases to be. She has a strong moral and spiritual force which every one of us feels. And when we have gone to college, her spirit will remain with us as a guide to the good. Betty Carter PAGE 5 Mrs. J. M. Bennett, Vice President Mr. J. M. BENNETT, Treasurer Mr. Edward M. Sweeney, Mrs. E. D. Dumas, Rt. Rev. Everett Holland Jones, D.D., Mrs. J. M. Bennett, Mr. J. Croswell Hall, Mr. J. M. Bennett, Mrs. Lane Taylor. BOARD OF TRUSTEES Tue Rr. Rev. Everett Hotianp Jones, D.D.., President Bishop of the Diccese of West Texas Mrs. E. D. Dumas Mrs. Lane TAyYLor The Board of Trustees is made up of seven members and presided over by Bishop Jones. It is a policy making group that determines the correct procedure to follow in decisions of great importance. For example, the building and enlargement of the Elliott School and the buying of Senior house were questions decided upon by the board. Besides being a policy making group, it controls the finances of the school, but it has nothing to do with the administration of the school. The Board maintains an even balance between the school itself and the parents, and is always open to suggestions. Its members meet informally about six times a year, but there is no set schedule for meetings. Instead, when the need arises, the board meets to settle the question. To this Board of friendly advisors come the many vexing problems of a school, and with skill and care our Trustees consider these problems and decide on their answers. Betry Carter PAGE 6 Mr. J.

Jo Nett AmBerson The influence of the Student Council this year has been felt by the faculty and the students alike. Composed of seventeen members representing directly the forms from the Seventh through the Twelfth, the Council, with Miss Lee as advisor, has performed its usual duties, such as keeping study halls or helping with dismissals. The Council has also formed the link between the school and the community, con- ducting the March of Dimes and supervising the Thanksgiving and Christmas gilts to the Protestant Orphanage and to the St. Mark's Community House. It has met with other schools at the Convention of the Bexar County Student Leadership Association to discuss their common interests. But more important than these activities is the part the Council has played as a double mirror reflecting the students’ attitudes and interpreting the faculty's opinions on many subjects. In such a position the Council members have contributed much to the good and the pleasure of the school. —KATHARINE ZANDER, President RRR RRR RRR RRR RRL RLRRD DS Se Se se Se Se Se Me Se Se Sp os Se Sp se PAGE 52 The Choral Club Each year as the girls, old and new alike, learn of the pleasure and interesting times that we have in the Choral Club, our group expands.

During the year the Club, under the leadership of Mr. Charles Stone, worked on songs for various occasions, such as for Chapel or for a program for the con- valescent soldiers at Brooke General Hospital. In December the Club presented a program of Christmas Carols at the annual Candlelight Service at Christ Church. Toward Spring the Club began work on songs which we would sing on Father's Day and at the Special Exercises at Christ Church and on Graduation Day. —CAaTHERINE AMSLER PAGE 53 THE BOOK CLUB Group | meetings Second Monday of every month.

Warp BOOK CLUBS ARE NOT LITERARY ALL THE TIME The members of the Book Club look forward every year to their December meeting which is held at Miss Lee’s Home. Everyone always has loads of fun but this year's meeting seemed to be the best of all. Seven o'clock, the evening of December the tenth, found Miss Lee's living room thronged with members. Although a norther had arrived that day and it was sleeting outside, the front door was thrown open every few minutes to admit more slightly chilled but happy girls. Miss Lee watched the growing crowd with amazement and said, “I knew there would be a lot of you, but—s When the girls were assembled, they began playing games. The first game was to make in ten minutes as many words as they could out of the word Christmas. Had Webster been present alt the party, he could have filled another dictionary with the new words on the lists. The second game was to write down as many books as the girls could think of in three minutes that had anything to do with Christmas. Then Miss Lee went over to the Christmas tree in the corner and from its branches gave each girl a Christmas package of hard candies. After all the girls were settled back in their chairs or on the cushions before the big log fire, Miss Lee, according toa delightful custom, began to read Christmas stories. ater closing her book on the story world, she led the girls to the dining room where there were numberless cups of hot chocolate and heaped up platters of cookies. The evening closed with carols, the girls gathering about the piano to sine the old songs of joy to the world. —Gay Zep.irr SRIRIRIRI ROR ROR NINN RR RRR RR PS Se Se de Se Se Sp PAGE 55 Le Cercle Francais Presidents. 1 ee ee Jute Maury Secretary-Treasurer pO TIGL eG ASuciet Auice TYNE Betty Carter Patty Molesworth Lou Ransom Marian Neeley Gloria Critz Patsy Parker Gretchen Broun Marjorie Reynolds Catherine Amsler Jessie Campbell Mrs. Isabelle C. Redfield, Sponsor Le Cercle Francais meets once a month to undertake projects that will bring the members to a closer understanding of the French language and, the French people. This year the Club decided to admit First year French students into the Club and to have them give a play for initiation. Usually French plays, MUSIC, lectures, and slides make interesting meetings, but the most enjoyable program was the talk of Lieutenant Jacques Bey, a young and attractive French pilot in train- ing in the United States Air Corps. Having been in this country for two years, he had formed some engaging opinions of American girls, among which the most amusing, and the truest, was that American girls seemed to steal not only their fathers’ cars but their clothes as well. After describing his impressions of America, Lieutenant Bey pictured life in France both before and during the war, telling of the boys and girls of high school age what they studied and how they lived. Lieutenant Bey impressed upon the Club how much harder the French had to work, especially in school, than the Americans and how much less freedom to enjoy themselves the French had. The members of the French Club and their guests, for this was an open meeting, were charmed, by the way Lieutenant Bey and Madame Redfield, our sponsor, carried on a fluent conservation in French, the way all French students would like to talk. —Auice TYNE PAGE 56 The Members of El Marsgil break the Pinata at the Christmas meeting.

This year for one week, the pledges, girls who had made the elusive Fair or better in Spanish, were required to wear mantillas and to speak only Spanish at school. The final initiation was solemn. As each girl was given her red and yellow ribbon, the badge of El Margil, the candle, the symbol of the spirit of the club and the promises given, was passed from one to another. The other meetings followed special planning. Some featured Mexican music, some South American, others talks on culture and customs of our South American neighbors, and those meeting shortly before Christmas were devoted to practising the Pastorella Chorus. To bring this year s activities to an end, we shall have our traditional Spanish banquet. —JosEPHINE FARMER PAGE 57 Advice to love lorn And here we have. . .

The Sports Council In the spring each year the Capers and the Elliotts of the Upper School elect their Captains, Lieutenants, and Junior representatives to form the Sports Council. This council with the generous guidance of Miss Criley organizes the activities of the two teams for the succeeding year. In all the sports, preliminary games and All- Star games are played. Every girl plays in the preliminary games and has a chance to develop her skill and contribute to the winning of the much coveted cup awarded al Bishops Day. At the end of each season girls are chosen for their high technique and skill in the game played as an All-Star game. In addition to the yearly sports the Spring Song Contest and the Horse Show were sponsored by the council. Of ke ' course the council's April Fool's Surprise party for the students and the faculty ' was one of the high spots of the school year. —Cyntuia GIESECKE PAGE 60 FRONT ROW: Joan Gard, Joyce Judkins, Jean Judkins, Doris Jenkin.

Two girls from every P.E. class are chosen by Miss Criley for their leadership and. their athletic ability. These aides, who are distinguished by their arm bands with the purple and while school crest, help to organize teams, keep order in the dressing room, and demonstrate various game skills. After every game the P.E. Aides yell, “Fold your pinnies neatly, please.” But in the hurry to get dressed, the girls wildly throw the blue and red pinnies at the aide, who patiently folds them herself.

An Editorial Board was elected from the two classes. This Board, | wishing to have the best possible name, conducted a schoolwide contest and, from | the titles suggested chose Selma Cater’s title, The Shield. Nancy Drought designed ) for the cover a shield with a pegasus superimposed. Having a name and a cover, the editors with the help of their advisor, Mrs. Pedlar, had to select from the manuscripts submitted material suitable for the mimeographed periodical. The reading and judging for many conference periods resulted in a twenty-six page magazine of poems, essays, and stories. To the delight of the assembly the sale of the magazine was introduced by an octette with rhythm who sang to the tune of “Skip to My Lou’ a persuasive jingle P i. urging all to bring thirty-five cents to Kitty Lou on Thursday. Three hundred } ; copies were sold when The Shield Volume I, Number I was distributed on February te: 5, 1946. The aim of the Magazine is to stimulate creative writing, and the sponsors believe that as the contributors develop their talents, each edition will be a better Magazine. —Craupia ABBEY PAGE 70 The Christmas Service The congregation sat quietly in Christ Church which had been transformed from an ordinary place of worship to a dignified and beautiful setting for the Candlelight service. In the side aisles and in the chancel, the soft flickering light of many candles revealed Christmas trees banked around the altar and in the front corners of the church. Garlands of greens with red berries were festooned along the walls, and everywhere red poinsettias and gold leaves added splashes of color. The softly playing organ now broke into strains of “O Come All Ye Faithful,” and as the procession entered the church, the voices of the girls in the Saint Mary's Hall choir filled the air. Joining in the singing, the congregation felt a responsive Christmas happiness in the songs of the Choral Club. Many old Yuletide favorites, such as “O Little Town of Bethlehem” and “Silent Night” were sung guietly and happily by all. Katharine Zander, president of Student Govern- ment, and Alice Tyne, President of the Senior Class, read the lessons with a real understanding of the meaning and the significance of Christ’s birth. In a short talk, Bishop Jones stressed the American way of singing its Christmas message of peace to all the world and gave the congregation a new idea of the spirit of Christ. For the recessional the organ played “Hark the Herald Angels Sing.” After a short prayer everyone left the church with the hope that this Christmas would be a happy one for all people and that war would never again bring de- struction and havoc on innocent peoples. —MartHa CusHMANn PAGE 71 Nancy Roe Nancy Collier Patricia Peterkin Betty Lou Langston June Abbey La Fiesta de Navidad El ‘Inviérno- (Winter) yas ens 5 Lee June ABBEY Larzbel) (Satan). s3°hi cots. 5 ate ee ee ee Nancy Co utr Pastores (Shepherds) Bartolo voy tsk os ork space 8 See ceeeket RP a ae ee Doris JENKIN Felisio 84°05 Vides ia aetna le ech ee Nancy Frame Ananiasy: ss afk ss 82 oes BE ee ee eee CrLaupiA ABBEY Matias’ 5 cet.o deR Oo eae eae te eee ee BarsBara KENDALL Lisardo c.f tc! anh oe an en no dae ee ee Dorotny Baker FJ tAngel i... 5.45 on o030 os Sadatts ee ee Nancy Roe San Miguel-(St. Michael) Sae -5. oe Le ee MartHa CusHMAN San Jose. .).).55 Va take peer ee ce cane a Patricia PETERKIN Maria, la madre (Mary, the Mother) gs Aeseeer ne EvizapetH LANGSTON Directed by: Srta.

The audience buzzed with chatter, for this was Twelfth night, the night when our traditional fiesta de Navidad was given. It had PAGE 72 oS Irene Knoepli Martha Cushman Nancy Collier Dorothy Ann Baker Nancy Frame Barbara Kendall Claudia Abbey La Fiesta de Navidad -- (Cont.) long been a custom of the Mexican villagers to hail the Christmas season with a gay fiesta in which all took part, and again this year we followed tradition by giving our fiesta. As the lights dimmed and talk subsided, the entertainment began. First, two Spanish pieces were played on the piano by Julie Northrup and Betty Brewer, and Elaine Eastland, their lilting melody adding sparkle to the festivities. Then the members of the Pastorela chorus sang Villancicos, or Spanish Christmas carols, which we could easily imagine being sung in like manner in some village. The Posadas, a pantomime depicting Mary and Joseph asking for shelter, was enacted by members of Form Eight, while the Fifth and Sixth Form choruses provided colorful background with their green and red caps. The very dignified three Kings entered, suided by the star of Bethlehem, and eloquently offered their gilts to the Christ child. Then the Seventh Form performed some folk dances and three girls did the comical Los Viejitos, to the delight of the spectators. Last of all came La Pastorela, which in every Mexican village has been performed yearly for generations by the peasants themselves. It is actually an old miracle play, having heen brought over by the Spaniards when they came to Mexico. Although most of our audience was unable to understand the dialogue, everyone, especially the Lower School children, was properly terrified by Satan, respectful of Mary and Joseph, and, awed by St. Michael—and laughed delightedly at the antics of Old Man Winter and of Bartolo, the clown. After the play ended with Satan's de- feat and the shepherds’ adoration, the Eighth Form, attired in bright costumes, served real chocolate Mexicano and pan dulce. Our Fiesta de Navidad was a success. Through the sincerity of the players and the whole-hearted reception of the audience, eve ryone seemed really to partic- ipate, recapturing the festive Christmas spirit which is the heritage of Latin America. —Nancy Co.uier PAGE 73 + —— THE DANCE COMMITTEE Nancy Brown—Chairman Barsara Briccs Patty Nixon Jutia Maury Auice Tyne Nancy Scott The Christmas Dance The night of December the Seventeenth! What a memorable night! For weeks the girls of Saint Mary's Hall had waited for it; for weeks they had been making plans and thinking of dresses. The annual Christmas Dance given by the Seniors to the Tenth and Eleventh Forms is a big occasion and always fun. Now into the gayly lighted Bright Shawl boys and girls were pouring. Merry sreetings and lively chatter rose above the playing of the orchestra: the couples as they entered felt immediately the festivity and the pleasant dignity of the party. Miss Lee, Mrs. Hughes, and Mrs. Taylor welcomed each couple as they paused for a few moments of conversation before passing into the ballroom where everyone was dancing.

In another room however the spirit was not so gay. Some girls with blind dates sat fearfully — expecting the worst. What had happened? A regrettable incident. Five boys, strangers to San Antonio, had lost their way and had no idea where they were. One of the guests went in search of them, and upon his return with the boys the fun really began. Dancing, laughing, talking! Friends separated by the war were once more happily greeting one another. No one thought of the time.

The Admirable Crichton -- (Cont.) Sir James Barrie's The Admirable Crichton as produced by Joan Eliot was a theatrical success and a lot of fun for all of us who attended the play at the San Pedro Play House, Saturday, March the ninth. June Abbey, as Crichton, played a convincingly perfect butler as well as a dictatorial “gov.’ Gay Zedler too acted well her part as the bustling reformer, the Earl of Loam; but we could not help laughing when the curtain went up, and Gay appeared in a white beard to match her white hair a perlect background for her impressive pipe. We shall never forget tall, thin Nancy Roe as Treherne, the preacher, “who was not much on the island’; clowning Nancy Drought as I weeny, the ignorant kitchen girl who was soon to be lady's maid to the three sisters; and Nancy Collier, the arrogant Lady Mary, Crichton’s ideal snob, full of condescension. In the second and third acts the aristocrats become servants and the servants, masters with a marvelous ease and poise. These acts with the smell of the stew drawing the rebellious back and the sign of silence were even funnier than the first act. We laughed in spite of ourselves when Lady Mary alias Polly sat on an orange crate and it began to crack and break, and when Kitty Lou Smith as Polly's sister lugged in her “freshly” caught fish, a tarpon almost as tall as she, lacking only its placard. Margaret Farmer as Honorable Ernest Woolley put over his English wit with great success; we all felt as if we were part of the head dip- ping when Crichton left with the bucket. In the fourth act Katharine Zander, | the meddlesome Countess of Brocklehurst, stole the scene with her polished per- formance. The play was So highly entertaining because it was so well produced. The stage grouping was particularly effective and the costumes, many original hand made models, helped create the illusion necessary for the enjoyment of the friendly and informal audience. —Nancy Brown PAGE 77 y 1 AP ) Ap AB Ap A RRRPRRR ARS The Valentine Dance Saint Valentine's Day was the inspiration for the dance given February 9, 1946, at Miss Mildred Johnson’s studio by the Sophomores in honor of the Juniors. All the day of the dance the decorating committee labored happily, festooning red and white crepe paper streamers, red hearts, and valentines over the entrance, about the walls, and from the ceiling. Ona large mirror Annalyn Achning and Margaret King painted two very blonde cupids holding up a lacy red heart with the in- scription “I Love You.” And that night when all the guests were assembled, the Juniors broke through a huge red heart at one end of the room to be presented by Jo Nell Amberson and Claudia Abbey. All through the evening the committee assisted by Mrs. Redfield, Miss Lee, Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Abbey, and Lt. Colonel and Mrs. W. B. Stryker served pink punch and valentine cakes covered with luscious white icing and pink rosebuds, and surmounted by a red heart. Of course in such surroundings the Sophomore-Junior dance was a very gay and thrilling SUCCESS. —MAarcGaret Kino PAGE 78 RRA RRR REL DPD DD Se Se ie do de le se de Sh se SRIRSRIRI RRR S OR SOIR R IRON OREN ORIN ORIN OR ORO OREN DOR OR SRR RR RI ROR Book Week Book Week, the annual celebration designed to promote the reading of good literature among young people, was held November 11 to 17. This is a nation-wide celebration. This year, Book Week looked to the United Nations for its theme. “United Nations Through Books” was the slogan of a conscious effort to direct student reading into channels that emphasize understanding of other nations. Now more than ever there is a need for us to read about peoples of the world with sympathetic intelligence. Saint Mary's Hall under the fine leadership of Mrs. Ward, the librarian, did its bit to promote the idea. We had a large display of new books which helped to carry out the central theme, illustrated on an attractive poster. Most of the books were about foreign countries: England, Australia, Brazil, Russia, and others. During one of the chapel exercises, members of the Book Club distributed bookmarks to all the students. At this time a recording on books and reading was heard and enjoyed. The highlight of the week was a pageant which climaxed the activities. The pageant included Forms 3 through XII and was held outside on the campus. Each Form enacted a scene from a favorite book. The program was as follows: Scene I. Pinocchio Scene II.

The aims of the Student Federalists are deftly expressed in the latest bulletin from their headquarters in New York: “We Student Federalists believe in the democratic principles upon which free civilization is built. We believe that to save free civilization from possible destruction in World War III, to start mankind on the world road to peace, freedom and security, to meet the challenge of the Air Age, we must build, in our time, a democratic world federal union. To prepare the way and lay the foundation for federal world government, we Student Federalists have two objectives: 1) to educate the rising generation in the principles of democracy and federal union, and to prepare youth for world citizenship; and 2) to find, train and organize into a united corps the necessary leaders to build the Great Union of the Free. We shall strive to carry this program to the youth of America and, the whole world, now and in the critical years to come. The Saint Mary's Hall chapter now has over thirty members, and we have begun our three month study and preparatory period which we must complete be- fore we can become an authorized c iapter. —Gay ZEDLER The Junior Historians This year at Saint Mary's Hall the Junior Historians of Texas established a chapter of those girls who wanted to learn more about Texas history and the people who made it. First the group visited the places with special historical significance as the Capitol at Austin and the missions, the Alamo, La Villita, and the Gov- ernors Palace in San Antonio. The chapter then planned lectures on different phases of Texas history. In addition the chapter encouraged those who enjoy writ- ing to send their compositions, anecdotes, traditions, or folklore stories to the Junior Historian Magazine which is printed in Austin and is compiled entirely of themes sent in by members of chapters all over the state.

This group chosen for their leadership and ability met once a week with Mrs. Pouquet to plan the birthday dinners and week-end activities, such as dances, weiner roasts, picnics, and stunt parties. But the wo rk of the Council girls is not all fun, for they have to talk with those who do not uphold the standards of Residence life. In these conferences they find out the grievances of the girls and try to help them. The most important and worthy work done this year was the sponsorship of a Christmas family. So as to understand better the family’s needs, three of the Council girls talked to one of the Associated Charity workers who was handling the family’s case and thus gave the Residence a true picture of their wants. Clothes were gathered and money was contributed for food, and presents tied in gay Christmas wrapping were placed under our own tree to be taken to the Charity Center on Christmas Eve. In this way the girls were able to make happy people who other- wise would have had a very meager Christmas. —MartHa CusHmMan PAGE 88 RDP MD Me She Se Se Se She Me So Se Sh Se Sh Se Se ie Ses Se Se Se se Se Se Se Se Sk Se Se SBR RR a ee The Residence Open House The day, October sixth, dawned warm and glorious on a group of eager girls who were industriously sweeping, dusting, and rearranging their rooms for the Residence Openhouse. Roommates felt that their room must appear the most attractive for would not many visitors, recalling their boarding school days, inspect the rooms to see once more pretty curtains and bedspreads, cuddle animals, and pictures — numberless pictures of conquests ? Downstairs fresh flowers adorned every table and mantle, adding brightness and, gayety to the already-present party atmosphere. In the reception rooms Mrs. Pouquet arranged artistically vases of dahlias and of waterlilies; in the dining room Mrs. Albright placed tiny figures, flowers, and fruit in most attractive groups. Shortly after lunch we all assembled downstairs to greet our guests and to escort them through the house and over the grounds. All afternoon we traversed the path between the Residence and East House, ascended and descended the stairways, and encircled the oval, discussing our daily life and activities in the Residence as we went. This day the house held more people within its walls than it had ever held. More parents and friends than ever before attended the tea, and more lingered to talk enthusiastically about the school’s srowth and the girls’ development. For over three hours we had graciously played our parts as hostesses; now late afternoon found once more a comparatively empty house. As the last visitor de- parted, we headed directly for the dining room and there replenished ourselves with cake, candy, and nuts, and tea or milk. Neat, stylish, but extremely uncomfortable hairdos were hastily dissembled, high heeled shoes and stockings were rapidly shed, and the more formal party manners gave way to relaxed girlish chatter. Being pleasant had been exciting, but oh, how tired smiling could make one’s face. —Becky TomLinson BIRTHDAY DINNERS Birthday dinners are noted for the receiving of gilts and good wishes, but in the Residence we are given not only these but a birthday dinner as well. You may not think that this is unusual, but when you get one every month, it is. Now we do not mean that all have birthdays every month, but we do have those marvelous dinners honoring the birthday girls of that time; therefore we all profit from one another. The girls of the Residence Council have charge of the decorations and they really do them well — ingenious witches and jack o lanterns, turkeys and pumpkins, or Valentines or George Washington cherry trees transform the dining room. On the gala evening everyone dresses in her best and sits down in her place. Of course this is somewhat prolonged by the hunt for place cards, and at least one girl is stranded in the middle of the floor. This adds humor to the occasion, and we suppress our wild impulse to laugh into a polite smiling as the lost member is settled in her seat. We all chatter on merrily until some musical sadist (to those of us who cannot carry a tune) suggests a song. Whether the song be an old 5 Pe Se SPs Se Sr i ln Ses io es Se Se Sin slo Ss Sp Ses Sh Ses Sh SR SRR SREB RIM RAR RS CRE Seon onoe PAGE 89 RRERRRRRRRRLR RL De Me Me Me Me Se Se Se Se Sr Se Se Se le Se sl i i i oh Se Se le favorite rendered with effects or a new hit somewhat weakly sung, the twelve East House youngsters out-distance us in harmony and enthusiasm. The feast of fried chicken, bot rolls, salad, and all the other good dishes being over, the cakes with lighted candles are brought on, and each birthday girl cuts her own cake. Here we joyously sing “Happy Birthday” to the honorees and hardly finish one tribute before we start another. Amid shrieks of encouragement the candles are blown out, and the cakes are swiltly devoured. Threatened with the study hall bell, we loiter in groups chatting happily as we leave the gay scene. —Patricia PETERKIN RESIDENCE LIFE The Residence is a place of tears, laughter, moods, The Hong Kong Blues, Personality, gnawing hunger, and frantic cleaning for room inspection. Things such as tubs overflowing, Pert in high heels falling down the stairs every Sunday, Frame’s many telephone calls, and Nancy Morrow's smashing of records over Anne's head are everyday occurrences. The grimmest moment in Residence life is at seven o'clock when one, slumber- ing peacefully in a warm bed, is awakened by a cold draft from the opening door, a voice bellowing “Rise and Shine,” and finally the slamming of the door. Then follows breakfast after a dazed struggle into starched middies. Breakfast is an ordeal for those who hate milk, tea, or coffee and for the dieters who find the re- quired one course fattening. Most people appear at the table sleepy eyed, and the conversation isn't what one would exactly call lively. Speaking of eyes, Allyce appeared one morning with both eyes swollen and practically shut. On question- ing her, we learned that she had put vaseline on her eyelashes the night before to make them grow, and the results were somewhat disastrous. After lunch the battle for the mail box is on. The prolific writers depart with their correspondence while their less fortunate comrades pretend to flick the ac- cumulated dust from their pigeon holes. Four o'clock finds one with two whole hours to do as she pleases and; an apple. If it’s Thursday, which is hairwashing day, Allyce and Isabel can usually be heard quarreling over the shower. One never knows what is to greet her on returning to her room at four o'clock. Maria, coming back after a hard day’s work and expecting to be cheered by her roommate, was shocked to find that Elaine had been taken to the hospital with a case of acute appendicitis. Night study hall is another source of torture for two long hours interrupted only by Martha or Nancy (the brains) trotting to the dictionary for vocabulary, or someone's hacking cough. Bed is a welcome object to most of the lazy residence inhabitants. So, quiet and peaceful (except for whispering, walking in the hall, slamming of doors, and other disturbances) one may rest until the checker barges in again and another day begins. —AnneE Moopy RRR RRR RMD Me Se Me Se Se Se Se Sp ee ee in Sb Se i pe i PAGE 90 Dede PD Ie Se Me Se Sp Me Se Se Ge So So Se So Sr de Se So de So Sp ese RP RRR RR RRR THEeL ERD FLOORSELAT Rooms 15 and 16 are undoubtedly the best in the Residence, as you will be told by any of their occupants — Pat Peterkin, Jane Tyne, Nancy Collier and Martha Cushman. For these rooms have the distinction of occupying the third floor of the Residence of Saint Mary's Hall. They are blessed with superior location and while the thought of slim calves by May is our one encouragement as we labor up three flights of stairs, nevertheless the climb is its sole disadvantage and is made up for by teacherless isolation, private roof, nightly Ielaby by the squirrels pitter-pattering across the attic, a breath-taking view of the San Antonio skyline and a painful one of the Nighthawk’'s neon sign, and the entertaining suspense of finding out who will be victor in tonight's grapple for the bathtub. Early in the year we of the third floor were struck by a brilliant idea: Why not record for posterity life in our flat? Accordingly we ingeniously devised a bulletin-board from the side of a box which we placed on the wall and after due deliberation named “The Third Floor Flash.” Besides displaying such important things as telegrams announcing discharges from the army and births of nephews, The Flash noticed and reported on the love affairs of all on the third floor, with coy references to the letters from College Station and Oklahoma City. And _ then there was the time that it recorded the hospital progress of Lawrence, Nancy's stuffed dog, whose mother cruelly stepped on his ear one day, to the frenzied dis- may of his aunts. Unfortunately the Flash came to an unhappy end one day; it fell into the wastebasket and was thrown out before it could be retrieved. After Christmas vacation we were sad to lose Peggy Seaman. But her de- parture aroused a burning question — what would the new cirl be like? How- ever, Pat Porter lived up to our expectations. Her worried mother inquired gently what was the matter with that poor little girl with the skin disease. It seems that a member of the third floor had taken the part of Satan in La Pastorela the night before, an act which involved the application of generous amounts of indelible red grease-paint. And so, like time, life on the third floor marches on —Nancy Co.uirzR RESIDENCE We Can't Imagine This in the Residence: Everyone being on time for a house meeting. Breakfast in bed.

We felt a little like guinea pigs for, if everything went well on this trip, we would make one like it each month. After piling into the bus or the “Pony Cruiser’ and after taking turns opening and closing the door, we started off. The bus glided along on the wings of a song as everyone requested her favorite number from the volun- tary choral club on the back seat. When we finally reached the Inn, we found that lunch was not quite ready; so some of the hardier girls took a walk. After being attacked by numerous wolf packs, dogs to you, and after losing two of their members, the group returned just in time to prevent the sitters from eating all. The lunch was sumptuous with barbecued chicken, wonderful salad, all the rolls we could hold, and apple pie a la mode topping it off. Those who were able to get up from the table, danced and played games until with reluctance we all tottered onto the bus and headed for home. Going back the singing was even stronger and this time the bus driver requested tunes also. As a final tribute to him we all sang “You are my Sunshine” and thus ended our trip. —Patricta PETERKIN The Grey, Moss Inn El Rancho “Chula Vista” The pleasantest thing about spring is its delightful weather; that’s one of the reasons the trip to Isabel Brown's ranch just outside of Sabinal was so much fun. It was a_ perfect March morning when half of the boarders and a few day pupils piled into a special bus for the joyful two hour ride enlivened by eating or by singing songs. Isabel's ranch appropriately named “Rancho Chula Vista,’ was beautiful with its lazy little river and big spreading oak trees. After all had gorged themselves on delicious barbecued “cabrito” and real butter, they went their sepa- rate ways; some climbed the highest hill, others waded and splashed in the river, while still others retired for a quick nap in the little guest house. Everyone went riding and exploring — there was something to do every second. We were all sorry to have to leave when the time came, and it was “unanimously decided that a good time was had by all.” —Maria Moorrs PAGE 93 1B KB At East House We Talk About Lois and her noise. The time Olivia and Julianna played jackball in their room and the ball would not go straight. The Sunday afternoon games when there is only one ball and everyone wants to play a different game. (It’s good practice for the one who wants to be a political speaker). Those evenings when we pop corn. The Friday and Saturday nights when we have such fun, especially the nights when we act plays. The time Selma in the middle of the night got a rash on her hands, and thinking she had the mentholatum spread oderiferous brown shoe polish generously on her hands. 5 The joy experienced when we discovered we had a piano to play on (no chop sticks though).

In this miniature hospital patients enjoy their visit much more than at a big hospital. Mrs. Daggett, our nurse, shows outstanding sympathy for any ailment from a scratch on the knee to pneumonia ora broken leg. Often when her patients, being in the convalescing stage, become mildly mis- chievous, she scolds them at some length and positively refuses to be amiable. But within perhaps half an hour, Mrs. Daggett returns with a friendly smile, once more resuming the mutual feeling of friendship and understanding. However, a patient who is actually ill must remain quiet without any source of entertainment until she has recuperated. This patient is not as bored with the enforced rest and guiet hours as one might think, for she can peep between the venetian blinds and watch the Elliott School children skipping gayly to and fro. During the day various children come in for their daily rations of nose drops, vitamins, and sometimes distasteful medicine. Once over the babble of voices floating through the closed door, the patient in bed heard Mrs. Daggett in a some- what brusque tone reprimanding the child who, apparently to escape the treat- . ment and medicine, had not told that she was suffering from a cold. After scold- ing the evader, she turned to the bed patient and commented that the little girl was ‘a loving and sweet child.” Sickness usually comes Saturday night or Sunday after the weekend when the well-meaning friends try to feed their guests from Boarding School all the rich foods they can. How nobly the sick child holds on trying to be well, but twelve o clock midnight finds a bundle of miserableness being trundled out to Little House. Simple remedies with lots of magnesia work immediate cures and a happy child skips back to her room the next morning. —Doris JENKIN PAGE 96 : Py | Wory Myon Rous iynfoRMacs Saturdays ano utilities bil De! | : ; . : ; : i Farmer's daughter King of the Mountains Going — Going | The Rail splitter Mingling with nature | Night owls The one in the middle } . : q } PAGE 98 i Tarzan fell in!
