THE SORORIAN, Last Will .aed Testameet lUTTINCi so rapidly loose Irom lite, and Imdinji so main things of sucli gigantic jiroportions to he atfcndcd to hffore the end should conic, this, the Class of lyjo, has hastily taken an inventory of her possessions and deemed it necessary to make the following donations. She has tried to be just, as well as generous, with these coveted gifts, and it is hoped that you will accept them as sacred trusts from one who has gone before : Item I. To our Alma Mater and her administration we give our love and loyalty. May h?r future be as glorious as her past. Item II. We give and bequeath to our beloved faculty all the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished them from time to time in our va- rious examination papers. Ve know that much which we have imparted to them in this way would throw a new light on many a hitherto familiar line of thought, and if the laculty sees fit, they are hereby authorized to give out such of this information to the world as they may feel the world has need of. This, of course, is left entirely to their |XM onal discretion. Item III. To the rightful successors, the Juniors, we bequeath the following heirlooms: The senior table, with its prevailing quietness; the dear old crook, that has caused us so many hours of anxious worry; our chapel seats that we have en- deavored to fill so advantageously; and our senior dignity. Mav the ' uphold it for- ever with all seriousness and gravity. Item IV. To the Soptiomore Class we leave our sisterly devotion. Item V. To the Freshman Class we lea e our intm ' tion to see thyself as others .sec thee. Item VI. We give and bequeath to Miss Beach the balance in our class treasury to he used in buying a pair of rubber shoes for detective work. We feel that she will need these in dealing with the classes that are to be our successors. Item VII. -We will and bequeath ovu ' talented editor-in-chief of the Yodlcr, Doc Welborn, all the events of our lives, past, present, and to come, with all the wondrous, hair-breadth escapes, glorious attainments and other deserved or undeserved notoriety, trusting that they may furm ' sh plenty of material for news items and bril- liant editorials for ages to come, and serve as an inspiration for those who look to us for examples. Item VIII. The following may seem but trifling bequests, but we hope they may be accepted not as worthless things lavishly thrown away, but as valuable assets to those who may receive them, and as a continual reminder of the generosity of hearts displayed in our free and full bestowal: First — Dorothy Chambers wills to Miss Cowdrick one of her own compositions, The Race of the Centipedes, to take the place of Canterbury Tales in the cur- riculum. 41

THE SOMOMIAN, 1930 ss iLL ashort- that ' s K i fi a.sliorc! caiiic- the cry hchiiul nic, ami tlic (hn s wlk (l to a hirfi ' T ilcjjiec. Haiuikcrchiefs Huttcicd annind nu-, and the two chihlrcn at my side chipped their hands in glee. It was the summer of 1940, and we were hoarchii the He de France for the first ti ' mp. As though this were not enoujih ha|)piness, 1 had been made even ha]ipier by meeting up with sjveral of my friends who were also going abroad. We had had a hilarious time talking over old times, e en though our paths were widely separated now. Only two of us w ' ere accompanied b our husbands, these being Ruth Brown and myself. But Ruth was the same lonely girl, changed jiot at all by marriage, riches, and three charming children. In the same group with her were Marion Ha es, a dress designer on her way to the Paris salons; Margarette Duckworth, a private secretary to a business firm with headquarters in both New ork and London, and Alartha Wyatt, a sociologist investigating the crime wave in the United Kingdom. Such varied interests naturally caused a larger degree of excitement in the group at my side. Incomplete sentences cam; to my ear; they mterrupted each other as though they were school- girls again. I turned my attention to another friend at my side until I heard joyful cries from the group. I turned and found out the reason. Coming toward us across the deck w ere Dorothy Chambers and l uby Hunnicutt, looking just as they did ten years before, on our graduation day. Both of them were connected w ' ith the Newt York Herald, having served their apprenticeship as journalists, and now being sent abroad to interview some visiting royalty at Buckingham Palace. They joined eagerly into the discussion, for they had just left some of our friends at the dock. These were Louise McClellan and Mary Breedin, who run an antique shop just off Broadway. Dorothy and Ruby were acqiuuiited with all the latest news, both having a reputation for attracting gossip. Dorothy had just received a letter from Elma Josey, an as- sistant chemist at Vassar, who planned a trip to New ork in the fall. With her were coming Lillian Glenn and Evelyn eargin, who were both gathering material for their doctors ' dissertations, hoping to obtain their Ph.D. ' s the following spring. Not to be outdone in keeping up with our friends, I also produced a letter, this one from Ruth Cathcart, now a well-known psychiatrist in London also. With her, working in the American Clinic, was Elizabeth Tribble, an accomplished business woman. In her letter Ruth told me of having recently seen Elizabeth Holley, now a principal in one of the Baltimore city schools. As the excitement began to die down soineone suggested lunch. As we went down to lunch our discussion continued. It was in no vi ' ay lessened when we found that Eva Kate Hall was the leading pianist in the ship orchestra, and that Faye Selma Downs was the librarian there. Eva Kate told us of having been a member of the orchestra for some time, and of having met up with some of our classmates there. 43
