ed among the students. Perhaps the

tered at one time will be registered

Wilmington young ladies will be on
the student rolls-of this number
more than half are new pupils, a few
of them being last years graduates
from the Wilmington High School
and others being students in the diff
ferent schools in the city.
zone reason of the large enroll
ment is probably the st. Mary spirit
that abides in the hearts of the large
number Of alumnae in Wilmington
who use their influence always to
have their younger friends attend
their alma mater. Coupled with this
is the fact that ST. Mary's is the
school of The Episcopal denomination
III North and South Carolina.
Among the young ladies who Will
attend the school this year, most OF
whom will leave for Raleigh today,
are the following:
Misses Elise Emerson, Helen
