DAILY MEETING OF “THE TRAVELER’S AID” • Little Sally sets off to school every morning. Sally goes to St. Rose, you know. She always takes the bus that will get her to school right on time. Of course, a lot of other St. Rose girls take this bus, too. So, as soon as Sally gets on the bus and sees her friends, she lets out a little scream of delight, just a little one, mind you, and she gaily dances down the aisle. Oh, they have a fine time in the back row of the bus. Isabelle, who is so funny, can always keep them laughing and laughing. What harm if she does talk a little loud?— perhaps the other people on the bus think it’s funny, too! Louella tells them how whosis’s answer in class was so stupid, then everybody tells just what she thinks of whosis. Andralena says that so-and-so’s class is too dreadful. “Of course, why they have so-and-so teaching the subject I ’ll never know,” contributes Sally. Just about this time, Isabelle says something very funny, and everybody laughs loud and long. The bus stops at the school, and our little friends amble on their way. The people on the bus they have just left are now well acquainted with all the choice gossip about St. Rose, except, of course, the man almost on top of the driver’s back. He’s a little hard of hearing, but even he heard the part about so-and-so’s class. * * * * * * We have so many Sally’s and Isabelle’s and Louella’s and Andralena’s. What can we do about them? ^ LET GEORGE DO IT! Now that we’ve captured your attention by bringing George into this, suppose we consider what is to be done in the College of St. Rose and who is to do it. Are you doing your part to make our college a better institution to attend, or are you among those who shrug their shoulders and nonchalantly go on their way to practically nowhere at all saying, “They’ve got enough help. They don’t need me—let the others do it” ? It might prove an interesting experiment sometime to make a list of those names prominent in St. Rose activities. Who sells the tickets for college plays and entertainments? Who secures the advertisers, patrons and patronesses to insure the financial success of our publications at St. Rose? Who supports the college dances, parties and plays by doing the work as well as lending her physical presence to the affair? Who participates actively in clubs whether or not she is an officer or pivotal point of that club? Were such a questionnaire carried out, certain names would be duplicated again and again merely because so many of us sit back while the old “standbys” do the work. This attitude is a dangerous one for any student as an individual, as well as a member of a group which should be cooperative. I f you feel like shirking a certain college obligation, why not force yourself to perform that work in an extra painstaking manner? Once we train ourselves to accept college responsibilities cheerfully and willingly, we have at last eliminated that hazardous apathy which says—“Let George do it!” “ BELLS OF ST. MARY’S” OR “BELLES OF ST. ROSE” By K ay K enny “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet”, but would a Mary be as sweet with any other name? “What’s in a name?” you ask. Maybe were being philosophical, but we believe there is a lot in the name “Mary” . Our first thought is the Mother of Gk>d. Perhaps it was her bearing it makes the name so lovely. Since we associate “Mary” with our Blessed Virgin, it has come to symbolize all that is modest and fine. Many Mary’s stand out in the history of the centuries, the most noteworthy of whom are: Mary Tudor, Queen of Scots; and Mary Todd Lincoln. All of these bring us right down to “Mary, Mary Quite Contrary”, whose garden was filled with blue bells and cockle shells. Our College Rose Garden is overflowing with Marys’ of all description. To be statistical, (and that is easier written than said) there are thirteen Mary’s in the Senior Class; seven Juniors grace the name; Sophomores number thirteen; and Freshmen provide us with twelve more. As in History, we too have our outstanding Mary’s. In passing we note: Mary McCall—President of the Senior Class. Mary Morse—President of Shadows. Mary K. Canfield—President of Rocethia. Mary Alice Donahue—Ed ito r of T h e Arrow^. Rose Mary Kelly—“Well Dressed Girl”. Mary Horn—^Blonde half of a charming sister act. Mary Noonan—^Typical collegiate.

Rose Mary Fischer—A “Rambling” writer. Mary Lucy—A popular Freshman. Mary Nestor—^A captivating corpse in “Our Town”. Mary Walsh—One of the frosh Arrowites. Mary Walthers—^A Freshman with skillful versatility. And last, but by no means least,— “Mary” Christmas,—a hearty, though somewhat early greeting! Scene Sunday morning in a drug store. “Can you give me change for a dime please?
