“Throw your hips up . . . those
shoulders dropped ... go in and
warm up . . . start working on
the balance beam.”
Every evening at 6:00, part of
G. Rollie White’s gymnasium is
transformed into a circus of girls
handspringing, cartwheeling and
somersaulting under the guide
of graduate student and coach,
Mickey Stratton.
“Can I do one more ? ” they ask,
coming off the vaulting horse.
“You’re supposed to be saying,
‘Please don’t make me do any
more!’ ” Stratton answers.
The girls gymnastics team be
gan three years ago when one
girl came up to work out and
went, unofficially, to meets with
the boy’s team. Now that more
girls are participating, they have
a separate group and will be com
peting this weekend in San Mar
cos at the Texas Collegiate meet,
against 11 other schools.
This is the first meet the team
has entered. The four girls com
peting are Muriel McDermott,
Kathy Hooper, Reenie Turk, and

“They work really hard . . . five
nights a week for two to three
hours,” Stratton says.
Kathy, sophomore geology ma
jor, took up gymnastics for the
first time in November.
“I didn’t think I had the
strength for it, but I’ve been
hooked ever since,” she said, add
ing that she’s “scared stiff” about
the meet.
Reenie, sophomore nuclear en
gineering major, was in a gym
class with boys when she decided
to join the girl’s team.
Muriel is a senior animal sci
ence major, but may go to gradu
ate school in physical education.
“It’s too late to change majors,
but I’ve always enjoyed athletics,”
she explains.

Former Nun Remembers
Experiences in a Convent
By Cindy Burleson
Battalion Women’s Editor
“I left the Order because ev
eryone sat around talking about
what they were going to do to
make the world better, but no
one ever did anything,” Christine
explains.
“We were called the Daughters
of Mary, Health of the Sick, Inc.
“When I started telling the new
girls they should demand to be
sent to school instead of washing
dishes like I did for five years,
they put me on a bus and sent
me to Marquette University with
out a dime. I got three jobs, went
to school and wrote them a letter
asking for a dispensation.”
Thus the wife of a graduate
student at A&M explains the end
of her personal experiences as a
member of a religious order, in
a decade of religious upheaval for
the Catholic church.
She left for the same reason
she had entered ... a basic feel
ing of altruism, that she even
tually decided she could express
better outside the order.
“An education in parochial
schools forces you to consider a
religious vocation and to some
times feel guilty if you’re too
selfish to accept the religious
life,” her husband, former Jesuit
added.
The mystery of nuns and the
fact that they were treated with
esteem were also attractive to the
17-year-old girl.
Looking back, approximately
eight years later, she says, “I’m
glad I did it ... I loved it while
I was there. But I also don’t know
why I did it, or why I didn’t
leave sooner.”
Oversimplifying somewhat, a
woman wishing to become a nun
enters an order as a postulant
(one who asks), and serves there
for six months, taking no vows
and in effect, asking to be ac
cepted by the members.
She then becomes a novice, liv
ing as though under vows, learn
ing about the work of the order,
and becoming spiritually prepar
ed. This is a time of transition
from worldly-life to personal iso
lation, filled only with physical
labor and prayer.
Temporary vows are taken each
year for a trial period of five
years, because of the seriousness
of the decision. The vows are
poverty, chastity and obedience.
The schedule of Daughters of
Mary began at 5:30 every morn
ing in the chapel, with recitation
of the prayers of the offices (vo
cal prayers said at seven points
of the day), mental prayer and
mass.
After breakfast and washing
dishes, from 7:30 to 10 the Sisters
worked outdoors, chopping trees
and mowing grass.
Dinner was then prepared and
offices said at 12:30. From 1:30
to 3:30 was devoted to work or
study. A half-hour at 3:30 was
one of two times in the day that
silence was broken.
Vespers were held at 4 and
followed by spiritual reading un
til supper. The hours from 5 to 7
were spent preparing supper,
scrubbing floors, and doing the
dishes.
The next half-hour was devoted
to reading the New Testament.
The hour following that was used
for sewing and mending stock
ings, during which free talk was
allowed.
The last office was spoken at
8:30 with a period of conscience-
examining afterward. From then
until after breakfast the next
morning, there was unbroken si
lence.
Penances were given for fail
ure to follow duties. Christine
remembers a time when as pen
ance for breaking a dish, the
nun had to tie it together and
wear it around her neck for the
rest of the day.
“When I got there, most of the
strange stuff was gone,” she says.
Before she left, more reforms
had taken place in the particular
order and in the total church
concept.
The bells that had regulated
the day were eliminated. The or
der gradually modified and ulti
mately abandoned their habits by
popular vote. The daily schedule
became more flexible, confine
ment less strict and money pro
vided for personal expenses rath
er than a free supply store.
Christine attributes the changes
to the Ecumenical Council, to the
fact that the world was changing
and the women of the order had
more outside contacts, and to the
fact that a different caliber of
persons were entering ... a new
generation of questioners had ar
rived.

sponsored by the Architectural
Wives Society, will be held Sat
urday, April 11, from 10 a.m. to

tecture building, at Mink Art
Supply and at the Bank of A&M.
A&M students will be given

A&M professors will be selecting

from student entries. Some facul
ty work will be presented, as well
as work from Huntsville and
Bryan-College Station.
The show will be set up at
8 a.m. Saturday. People with en
tries that require extra attention
should call Mrs. Nick Maselli
evenings at 846-8048.
Mary, she was sent to seven dif
ferent colleges and majored in
theology, sociology and pre-med
at different times. The apostu-
late or work of the order was in
social work, medicine, and teach
ing religion.
Cardinal Spellman in New York
City finally disbanded the order
when it began losing effective
ness.
Speaking of her social work,
Christine tells of the time six sis
ters shared a one-room apartment
in Newburg, N.Y. while working
with Negroes. She also lived in
Harlem and worked with Puerto
Ricans in Manhattan.
Through her association with
the order, she met Bill Cosby,
Buddy Hackett and Pete Seeger.
When Cosby found out she was
going to Marquette without any
money, he took up a collection on
the set of “I Spy” and gave her
$200 for expenses.
