I was very much interested in the Indian miracle man and followed him back stage hoping to see more of his wonders. I asked him if he could foretell the future and he re- plied that he had a magic mirror which at certain times and for certain people would picture the future. I told hlim I was very anxious to see what was going to happen to my classmates of '32 in five years. He very graciously consented to take me through the magic preliminaries and left me alone in a strange room before a queer little mirror. As in a moving picture I saw my classmates playing the serious game of life in 1937. The first thing I saw was a gold-lettered sign on a mahogany door--- Dr, Sidney S. Eagles ---- Office Hours 2:00 to 5:00. The door opened and I glimpsed the little doctor wearing horn rimmed glasses. He was at the telephone and he took the big cigar from his mouth long enough to say, I'll be home Mary Liz, just as soon as I get rid of these patients. In the waiting room I saw a very impressive looking lady endeavoring to make a small boy with his arm in a sling sit still. It was none other than Mrs. Tom Banks, formerly Miss Trudie Dawson. From her prosperous look Tom must have realized his ambition in professional athletics. The doctor's office faded and in its place came a good looking school building. I could see the principal's office and the man at the desk was---Bill Gillette. A teach-er came in with an order for history books. It was Frances Brantley and my attention was dravsm to a very beautiful diamond which she was wearing conspiciously. The school faded and I saw soft lights, deep chairs, people in evening clothes. I heard music, laughter, conversation. I recognized Etliellynn Brown, prominent in social welfare work. She was looking very happy and was talking very earn- estly with a distinguished looking man who is also familiar. I saw Vernon Bryant who is being introduced as Professor of English at Tet-:as University. Near him is a striking blond lady who is reputed to bc an authority on Anglo-Saxon Grammar and British History. Everyone seems to be just a little timid before her intellect- uality. It is Margaret Barfoot. The party is ---- yes, it is in Black Creek, and it is being given in honor of Mrs. John Strickland who is home from St. Louis to spend a few weeks with her parents and friends. ' The guest of honor is talking, as usual. Just now she is conversing with a smiling, rather portly gentleman with a small moustache. It is T. E. Autry and from their conversation I learn that hc is a pros- perous drug store proprietor. , The scene shifted to a pretty little village church where I saw tlrn slcek head of D. E. Poole bending above the sc:-ipture reading in the Sunday morning service. I saw Mrs. Baggette and Ila Soles in the audience. I learned they were both teach- ing in the high school and were enjoying their work immensely. The scene changed swiftly showing Evelyn Batts at the librarian's desk in the Wilson County Library, Charlie Bissette taking his seat in the State Legislature in Raleigh, and Margaret Bryan as a society leader in Durham. Then came a smart little car operated by Miss Lou Mashburn who is furthering the Little Theater Move- I wanted to stay to see more, but Sahab Swami came to tell me my time was ment in the good old North State. up. Reluctantly, I came away to write down the mirror's message.

VVe could not boast of being either the lar- gest or the smallest class in the history of the institution, but we do claim to have had a group of up-and-going youngsters, seeking fortpriccless wisdom to carry back to the eight states which we represented. One of these out-of-state boys was elected to lead us during the first year. His name was .Iaspar Basart and he headed from Iowa. A In the spring of our freshman year Vernon Bryant was promoted from vice- president to president. The fall of 1929 witnessed the return of fewer members of our class, but nevertheless we lost none of the Sophomore sophistication. We saw that because we were fewer in number we had much more work to do. There- fore we set in with vim and determination, happy at the thought that we were no longer Freshmen, but Sophs, one fourth of the way on the journey to Graduation. Thisdhard work was rewarded in due time when we were promoted to the ,Junior Class. Only a few fell along the way. Being a broadminded class and a class that believed in raising the political status of women, we saw in Clara Bass, one of the fairer sex, the qualities of lead- ership and elected her president. This year we welcomed into our class Trudie Dawson who had struggled hard both summer and winter, and was graduating in three years. There also came into our class: D. E. Poole, Margaret Barfoot, Ida Crockett, Margaret Lawshe, Francis Lindler, and William Stamey Teachey, all whom had received previous training from other institutions. This year was marked by intellectual achievement and moral development. It was also a year of social events, climaxed by the elaborate Junior-Senior Banquet held at the Wilson Country Club, attended by forty Seniors, thirty Juniors, President and Mrs. Hilley, Prof. Hodges, and Miss Cannaday. The fourth and last year was begun under the leadership of Sidney Eagles. This made the third time in which our class president was a native of Wilson County. The return to college was a disappointment in one way. Looking about us, we were ,unable to see all the faces that we had learned to connect with our class. Some, as Marie Autry, Ruth VVatson, Ruby Banks, Mamie Harper, and Dorothy Slater had become tirezl of the regular pace we were running, and had forged on ahead to finish one year before us, Others had dropped out for various reasons. Yet there was something that would partially compensate for our loss. That was the addition of new faces to our ranks. Charles Bissette, Walter Bridgers, and Bill Gillette loved the institution so much that they made arrangements to spend five years within her care, while Ila Soles and Frances Brantley, former students of Atlantic Christian College, came back to graduate with us. Another one to join our ranks was Louise Mashburn, a former student of George Washington Univer- sity. With these additions to our class we took our hard knocks with a smile, and worked hard for the best we could obtain from the last lap of our journey. The highest social spot this year was again the Junior-Senior Ba.nquet. The Juniors entertained us in royal fashion, decorating the banquet hall of the Briggs Hotel beau- tifully for the event. It was an occasion that will live in our memories far into the years to come. And thus we came to the place called Graduation. Are we glad? Yes, in a way. But why should we? The years have been a pleasure to us, and every emo- tion we possess has cried out in the free vibrant spirit of youth. Yet we must move on. There are those who must take our places, and there are places we must take in the wider trails beyond Graduation.
