Uhr Bnathumua Hanna nf the Qlluh nf 1935 9' 'I' was a little more than a decade after my graduation from Salem academy that I returned for my lirst visit. Having left my office at Lord and Taylor's in charge of my newly acquired secre- tary, Dorothy Everett. I looked forward to my visit with the double joy of one who is contident that her work will be capably handled during her absence and is eager to renew acquaintances at a place where she had spent many happy days. As I drove up to the front door. I w'as impressed by the quiet. pleasant air of the place: and I wondered why at 10:10 o'clock in the morning of a warm spring day no sounds were emanating from the open windows of the second-story classrooms. Imagine my surprise upon being told by the maid who opened the door that the faculty and students were at that time taking their daily jaunt by aeroplane. In my eager haste to see the familiar rooms again I walked on into the deans' office. And what shouid I spy' on the desk but the same little hlacik notebook in which Miss Zacshary has kept the records of the alumnae for many years. Knowing that it was no private document and naturally wond ring what the years had brought to my classmates. I turned to the records of the class of 1936 and tread as follows fthe entries were excerpts from various letters Miss Zachary had recently re- ceive J: Eleanor Sartin, who is now full-time traveling representative of the Georgia Caravans. writes that she has recently returned from an extended visit to her sister Elizabeth in New York City. fEhzabeth 18 now experimenting with beauty culture, and she promises to be one of the nation's leading b92llItlCI?iIIS.l One night, she says, we went to the premiere of L'Amour Trcrgirfue in which Nita Montague starred. The play was really marvelous. and Nita did exceptionally wel. I was not surprised to, see her starring, for she had a monopoly on the dramatic ability in our class. After the play. N1ta's manager, the former Nancy Bradsher. gave a combination New Year's Eve and theater party for her in the luxurious night club owned by Ora Jones. Remember her? tBy the way, while discussing the coming political campaign with Ora in her office, I noticed the walls were papered with the pictures of a certain movie hero. It seems that after ten years our Ora is still collecting pictures of Robert Taylor.p As we entered the spacious club we were greeted by none other than Ora Holt Long. She looked lovely in a creation of blue by Doerschuk. who is the same Ruth R. Doerschuk we went to school with: she is now a famous designer for Vogue. But back to the party. We were ushered into a gorgeous ballroom of red and silver lined with modernistic shaped tablesfyou know. the new ones in the shapes of letters .of the alphabet. The rhythmic music of Jimmy Layner's orchestra greeted our ears. After recognizing the music I, of course. looked about to see whether I could find Bettie MacNair and Mary Lib Walston. ies, indeed, they were seated at the tirst table gazing hopefully at the musicians. When we were seated at the long S-shaped banquet table, who should be on-my right but Frances Cooke and her husband. You know she is now quite a leader of New York society and never misses a thing. They say she is number 399 of the four hundred. There was much gavety' during the meal and Nita insisted on a speech from all the celebrities. Among them were seyeral of our classmates and I yyas certainly proud of our Alun Maters influence Sllem was represented by Nhrgirt Courtney now a funous golfer Sarah Hurtlburt New torks first woman specialist in yxolet rry and Sarah NlcCanless the fieriest woman politician for the new ad ministratlon lye he lrd her speak and she IS quite to the point 'lhe floor show was yery entertfumng and it proyed to be the chmix of the eyenin,, The feature number produced none other than lxathryn Holmes at the piano singing one of the newest blues numbers I was really taken aback for I cant remember Kathrvn with 1 particularly fine yoice In the middle of the show the lights yyere turned clown and an unearthly creature with 1 rigid and histly stire in its eyes appeyred I was quite surprised to behold our dear friend Iyatherine Read She llyy nys did lmye 'I pecuhlr knack for Ill9II10I'l7IIl, and as 1 lengthy imperson itor she is mfnryel ous Prom Fclith Womble de-in of VS omen at Duke Umyersity comes this bit of information Recently I yisitecl Priscilla I imbeth it her home on y large farm in eastern North C lrohnl She is a perfect wife for 1 farmer Xir una Boyles who w as yac IIIOIIIIIB in I-loricla lbout 1 month ago dropped me a circl siyin I hiye just inspected '1 unique school l'he principal is our own Bonnie Rly and the one ann of thc scliool is to teach children how to be witty fxlfffllll by the yy IX is myrrled md llyes in High Point She his two hne cluldren whom shc displays with much DTIIIEI lo this fibsorbin account yy is appended 1 note by Xliss Zachary herself which re ld lhe class of llbih his made quite a record lust then my elr clu ht the hum of an ieropllne motor incl I rushed out the front door to see the Idllfllll, on the athletic held Grelt indeed yy ls my funfwement when I siyy that there were three plines and thlt the pilots were 'yliss fIl?llI0ttl lackson Nllss Elin heth 71chury ind Nhss 'NI Carrington Shields co-directors of athletics 'nt Silem Academy Pqually grtit were the miny other surprises that greeted m luring lny four diy st y it Syle but tle owicr of the little black notbook will soon disclose them to 'ill 'ylumnle Nyxcy K VNIIBI-ll Plophff Paar' lrwnl u Iwo 22 , A , .. . . y - 2 2 Q v 2 f ' v 2 2 -2 - v I I .2 2 .
