Page Four "Girls Will Be Girls" On March 25, 1958, the S.M.S. choir presented the two act operetta “Girls Will Be Girls." The case included: Pat Leighton, Janice Hearn, Tinker Kaplan, Sharon Siegesmund, Perry Chappell, Elizabeth Wooleyhan, Mary Ann Mac- Neal, Helen Dawson, Myrna King, Gail Leon, Doris Dickerson, and Pat Koeseth. The story is light and full of fun with just a slight bit of suspense to add color. At a smart seaside resort hotel, Bess Brandon is the hair-dresser and manicurist and her girl-friend, Gracie Greene is the cashier. The social mentor not only of the hotel but of the resort is the wealthy and austere Mrs. Stewart Wentworth, whose only son, Kenneth, visits his mother from time to time. Kenneth and Bess meet and fall desperately in love. The indignation of the haughty Mrs. Wentworth knows no bounds when she hears that her son has fallen for a “working person,” for Mrs. Wentworth has made plans to have Kenneth wed June Delight, a wealthy, baby-faced debutante who is spending the summer with her prospective mother-in- law. Mrs. Wentworth threatens to cut off her son without a cent if he continues to see Bess and she warns Bess not to see Kenneth. The independent Bess and her friend Gracie, laugh at the imperious matron, which enrages Mrs. Wentworth to such an extent that she has the two girls discharged. Miss Belle Seymour runs the Seymour Dress Shop in the hotel (See column 3 & 4) What do you think of Sack dresses? D. Norris—I don’t. N. Cook—I think they’re pretty good. D. Hamilton—They look like a fat woman on a warpath. Janice—I like ’em! Shorty—Fine, if you’re built like 50 lbs. of wheat. D. Hardman—They’re all right, if you want to carry potatoes or something. P. Collins—Good for girls who don’t have a figure. Joe Gough—Any girl who wears them admits that she hasn’t got a figure. Mr. Yarborough—That’s outside of my field. I’d better not stick my neck out. Ted White—I like most of them. Joan B.—They’ll pass. Wayne—All right for girls who have something they want to hide. Connie—It’s not what I think—it’s what Fred thinks. Lyl—I like ’em ... Only wish men did! Judy P.—It all depends on how you want to look. Dick Greig—They are typical of the Chaotic times of today, because of the insecurity of today, we tend to resort to happier times, just as men’s Ivy League suits are similar to the styles worn at the turn of the century. The Chemise is quite similar to the mode of dress vt orn by feminine faps of the twenties. I actually think they are very charming, if you can wear one. But on the other hand Mr. Greeson—Love ’em to death. Love ’em. If I were a girl, I’d wear one, I would. Ernie—Well, I don’t like them, it hides the figure. Mr. Tawney—They’re for people who are embarrassed! M.J.—They’re neat if you’re fat. Lili— or skinny. Dick Mahone—Keeps you guessing. Johnny Madel—You just don’t know what’s what. Bucky—I don’t see the sense in buying a sack to hide a bog. Julius—I have nothing to say about it. (They’re too expensive.) C. H. M. A. Ball Saturday, April 19, found a group of Sem-Fems clad in their party finery and bound for Charlotte Hall Military Academy. The occasion was the formal Military Ball, sponsored by the Key Society for the Cadets and their dates. The Ball featured music by Ralph Butler and the Rhythm Makers, under decorations of red, white and blue. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the Company Princesses and the crowning of the Queen of the Military Ball. Ths Seminary’s Peach Leighton was the Princess from Company “ C.” The Burmuda Hop February, April 26, found the walls of the gym smoker covered with travel posters, as the A.A. presented the annual “Bermuda Hop." The dance featured all the latest hit records and also one of the Phys. Ed. class favorites, “The Horra." Refreshments consisting of doughnuts and pastry were served to the Bermuda clad guys and gals later on in the evening. Everyone seemed to have a good time at this ‘strictly casual” dance and many thinks to Miss Hilliard and her committee members for an evening of fun. “Girls will be Girls" Continued building and as she is about to be married, she seeks to sell her establishment. Bess and Gracie have a little money saved and as Belle likes both girls, she takes this money as down payment and sells them the shop on easy terms. It is a flourishing business and Bess and Gracie see no obstacles ahead. But they have reckoned without the vindictive Mrs. Wentworth who practically boycotts the place by spreading malicious rumors about the two girls. Their shop is deserted. To add to their troubles, they buy at a great bargain, bolts of silk and lace and exquisite lingerie from a supposed traveling saleswoman who turns out to be a notorious kleptomaniac known Day-Hop Frolic On Saturday, April 5, the newly formed Day-Hop Association presented a “ Casual Hop” in the gym smoker. Decorations were abundant in tli2 crowded room, and many multicolored balloons hung from the ceiling lying in wait for souvenir hunt-* 4 ers. Crepe paper streamers were in abundance, lining the door and windows. * Music for dancing was furnished by Ralph Butler and the Rhythm Makers, the most popular combo in this area. All will agree that the band was terrific with the rock ’n roll numbers dragging even the chaperones cut to the dance floor! „ Refreshments in the form cf delicious punch and home-made cook-^ ies (donated by Day-Hop mamas; were hungrily devoured by the large crowd. Many thanks to Maurice,, Erly, Flo Tsirigotis, Pam Buccelli, Shorty Dean and all of the other committee members who worked so hard to make this dance such a well attended event. as Light-Fingered Lil. Bess and Gracie are ari’ested for receivingr and selling stolen goods. But their innocence is eventually established and they triumph over Mrs. Wentworth, for Kenneth has taken Bess’ advice and gone to work so as not to be dependent on his mother’s bounty. At the finish, it is a foregone conclusion that Bess and Kenny will marry. Since the first performance, the girls have gone to Leonardtown High School, C.H.M.S., and ar</ planning another trip. Everyone agrees that the choir did a great job and we hope to see another success next year. ST. MARY’S CITY, MARYLAND Thursday, May 15, 1958 Sacks?
