There's one great advantage in it, that one's memory works both ways. There we see our- selves as we have been in our earlier years in high school 3 as we are in this our 'senior year: and even as we may be in the' future. g 1 ' ' As the years pass, perhaps this book will bring to mind happy days, loved familiar faces, and the realiza- tion that as the Mock Turtle said, We had the' best of education-in fact, we went to school every day-. How shall we read this annual? Follow the advice the King gave the White Rabbit: Begin at the begin- ning, and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

LOOKING-GLASS, HISTORY Half dozing, I sat before the open fire, listening to the rain beat against the roof. I was startled on lifting my eyes to the large Looking-glass that hung over the mantle, to see a door opening and a little girl with plaits and a blue dress beckoning me to follow. Quickly I climbed upon the mantle and followed her through the door. Suddenly I found myself entering a large school. My companion led me up several flights of stairs, then sto-pped before the first door on the right. With a gesture she bade me enter. Within I recognized the tousled haired boys and short-skirted girls who in September, 1936, as freshmen, had sat eagerly watching their teacher. A happy smile came to my lips as I recognized Miss Mitchell. Then I was ordered to take my seat. Almost immediately the bell rang for the changing of classes. In the dash for our next class, Billy Ruddock tripped George Allen, who fell against James Goins and knocked his books to the floor. I was allowed to linger only a short while in Mrs. Fulkerson's home economics class, where Mary Peterson was ripping out a long seam in her apron and Fay Moss was struggling to make a button-hole in hers. Our next visit took us near a door through which came the unmistakable sound of Ladd I-Iamrick and James Edward Amos arguing the question of capital punishment. Mr. Moss was teaching the boys civics. My guide led me from this class into the auditorium, where the students were discussing the organization of a local chapter of the National Honor Society. We could see every freshman listening eagerly as if he were determined to work harder to win the coveted honor of mem- bership in such an organization. My companion next conducted me to room 9A. I saw Miss Pasour writing on the board and Alice Betty Mauney, Nancy John Gamble, and Betty Roberts on the front seats, trying to find the value of X: but I was hastily summoned into 9B where Mr. Hendricks was talking band. Ben Bridges, Puff I-lord, and George Thomasson were half standing in their desks in their eagerness to hear every word. Glancing through the door, I saw James Gibson and Marie Moss, our first monitors. taking their places. How proud we had been of them for helping to bring order to our halls! Joining the line, we continued to Miss Scoggins' room, l0A, where there was a seat awaiting us for the home room period. Miss Crosland soon joined us with her group of IOB students. Our president, Ladd Hamrick, took charge of the meeting, and we made plans for our beautiful junior-senior banquet and dance in the gymnasium. When the bell rang for our next class, everyone hurried to the new gymnasium. During the summer of 1938 a physical education program had been launched under the supervision of Mr. Crowell Little. While we were on our way to the class, Vera Sargeant and Sue Littlejohn, our star athletes, chattered excitedly about the games they had played. On returning to my classes, I noticed that my classmates looked a little older and much more dignified than before. I entered the library where I picked up a copy of the Herald dated August, 1939. I turned to the society page and read of the marriage of Miss Wren, teacher of junior and senior English, to Mr. W. R. Craig: and of Miss Helen Crosland, com- mercial teacher, to Mr. Hendricks, band instructor and science teacher. Then I read of the impressive wedding ceremony of Miss Virginia Parsons, piano teacher, and Mr. Ivan Rosenthal. My friend guided me to the next class, where Peggy Baker and Gloria Cornwell were eagerly writing the Life of Moises and Clarence Plonk was reciting the books of the Bible. This was a new course sponsored by the churches and lay organizations of our town and taught by Miss Mildred Lowrance. Once again we assembled for a class meeting. This time it was in Home Room IIB for the purpose of selecting mascots. Our president, Ladd Hamrick, again took charge of the meeting and the little candidates were brought before us. Before I could learn our choice, my guide led me out of the school and back through the open door. I awoke with a start to find the Looking-glass just as it had always been. At first. I was confused. Then I realized that we all had stepped from behind the Looking-glass, the Land of the Past, into the reality of the Present.

Yes, it was Ladd Hamrick, evidently prosperous and happy in the realiza- tion of his ambition. A neat, eflicient nurse followed him a minute later- Patsy White! The next scene revealed Ladd concluding an examination of a patient's throat. Everything is perfect, Gloria. Your broadcast over WBT tonight should be as beautiful as it always is. How about singing 'God Bless America' for the sake of old times? Good luck! At this time a very beautiful mature woman entered the physician's office. Could it be-? Yes, it was, Mrs. Eay Moss Hamrick, the physician's wife. 'fLadd, guess who is having dinner with us tonight. Ben and Alice Betty Mauney Bridges! Ben has just closed another real estate deal, and they are planning a trip to Europe. But, Eay, have you forgotten that tonight I am to meet those two great chemists for Blotz Vaseline, M. J. Bell and James Edward Amos? Eorgotten! Why I've shaken the dust from my high school annual and made a list of the members of the Class of '40 who may greet them when they arrive. They are Thomas Tindall, conductor of the Limited Special: his wife, Marie Moss Tindall: James Goins, the Yankee pitcher: Nancy Suber, if she can get away from her social activities: James Bennett, poet and critic: Clarence Plonk, the veterinarian: his wife, Mary Julia Pol- lock Plonk, chief surgeon in our local hospital: Clara Plonk, head nurse: Carolyn Prince, editor of the Herald: Vera Sargeant and Mildred Stewart. chief reporters for the Herald: Betty Lou Roberts, manager of the high school cafeteria: Violet Laughter, high school English teacher: Margaret Paysour and Mary Peterson, high school history teachers: George and Eoline Keeter Thomasson of the Elmer Lumber Company: Billy Gantt, cashier of the Eirst National Bank: George Allen, mayor of our fair city: Louise Sherrer. his efficient secretary: James Ware, high school principal: John Dill- ing, express agent: Marie Dunne, postal telegraph operator: the law enforce- ment body, Chief-of-police D. E. Hord, his better half, Sybil Davis Hord, and his two deputies, Paul Wise and Donald McGinnis ,... . The mirror had begun spinning: the scene was changing. I was gazing into the interior of a large trans-Atlantic passenger plane. Imagine my delight at seeing Juanita I-ludspeth, stewardess on the plane, serving iced drinks to the passengers. Her delighted greeting to the last two travelers attracted my attention. They were Nancy John Gamble and Sue Littlejohn, vivacious and Page Forty-six IMILESTUNESQ iv q DEC 1'o..f-11,,,,J l4f 4 -'ss3X5f4f3swxX.

Nancy John, the owner of an exclusive Fifth Avenue dress shop, was flying to Paris to attend a mid-summer style revue. Sue Littlejohn, athletic coach at Barnard College, was accompanying her. The previous evening they had attended a banquet honoring Luther Morrison and James Gibson, both star players on the Yankee baseball team, an occasion for which Eugene Eskew, well-known sports announcer, had been toastmaster. Other classmates who had enjoyed the celebration were Margaret Ledford, social service worker in Chicago: Frances Dettmar, National Girl Scout Secretary: Joye Lutz, editor of a feature column in the Evening Sun: Peggy Baker, interior decorator for Good Housekeeping Institute, and Agnes Abernathy, member of the Public Relationship Department of Franklin Simon. 'iAnd our pilot on this plane, continued Sue excitedly, is good old Billy Ruddock. The radio operator is J. C. Bridges. Let's hope they get us safely to gay Paree! The sound of her voice died away: the scene was changing. I blinked my eyes to make sure that I was really witnessing a wrestling match between Jimmy Dickey and Burton Bennett in Madison Square Garden with Jack Lynn as referee. Before I could hear more, the mirror turned again: and I saw, by the aid of a strong light, the dome of the Capitol in all its splendor. The reflection moved on to North Carolina Avenue and 37th Street, where I saw a beau- tiful building. To the right of the entrance was a plate-glass window, gay with blooming plants. In artistic letters was written, Ruth Brown and Virginia Rollins, Florists. The light entered the building and paused on the second floor before two doors. On one was lettered, Elizabeth Matthews, Architect, and on the other, HP. G. Ratterree, Jr., Collector of Internal Revenue. Even as I was wishing for a glimpse of Pride, the door opened, and my classmate entered the elevator. reading a newspaper, The reflection enabled me to read the large type printed on the first page, Dorothy Hayes, Well- Known Lecturer to Speak in Continental Memorial Hall Tonight, and in the adjoining column Helen Faye Cash, Pianist, Thrills Large Audience in Recital. Heading the sixth column appeared Wallace Weedon, Lawyer for Beet Sugar Corporation, Wins Case vs. Green Top Trucking Company. Pride turned to Section III, page 4, and again I read the heavy type, Carolina Hills, New Play by Sara Barber, Favorably Reviewed by Melba Keller, Fore- most Dramatic Critic of Washington. On the opposite page I read Memoirs of a Court Stenographern by Carolyn Carpenter, Reviewed by Julia Herndon. By this time the elevator had stopped on the top of the building, and the reflector revealed one of the most artistically arranged roof-garden tea rooms I had ever seen. Pride entered the door, and coming to meet him with an air that proclaimed her the manager of the inviting place, was Elizabeth Ashe. I listened eagerly to hear their conversation, but again the mirror turned and I found myself gazing into the same mirror into which I was accustomed to look. The clock was striking twelve: the fire was burning low. With a yawn, I reached for my English literature, for tomorrow's lesson was still unlearned. Page Forty-seven ININETEENFUHTYI I 1.
