Page from the Diary of Margaret Holmes June 3rd, 1950. It has been twenty-five years since we graduated from Centenary Academy. A more illustrious class has never been known. Theron Brown, the president of the class, has become an ambassador to Germany and is doing wonders to promote Bolshevism. While Annie and I were traveling in Germany we went to see the comic opera. Wfhe Sleeping Beauty,', written by W. R. Hatcher, who has prospects of becoming ri second Shakespeare. While we were there we met Everette Duncan. He told us he had just turned in his application to the Matrimonial Bureau, managed by Miss Jane Fullilove and Helene Latzko. But it was not for marriage-just advertising manager. Bob Goodrich has become a medical missionary in Africa and is also specializing in teaching the natives how to play the saxophone. Annie and I visited the Academy the other day. lt has become a large school, but is still doing as much good for boys and girls as it used to. It is now prospering under the supervision of Mr. William Logan. Walter Connell is also a President of a school but of a more elevating kind, as it is an aviation school. When one thinks of Walter they always think of Buster Noel. He now holds the title of the world's lightweight boxer. D Bernice Carnathan and Elmo Lee are in Paris. They have gone into a partnership business and have become the most popular modistes in Paris. ln Paris we also saw Wilchia. He lives there. You know it is well known that he is the most sought after bachelor in all of Europe. Wilchia always did have a way with women. His only competitor in the old days at the Academy was Bill Colbert. But he has lost that charm now and has become a Methodist Bishop. Sam Cararas is now a famous speaker because he possesses the most audible voice known and because of his clever wit. Vife can now forgive his hours of practice at the Academy. Harold Batcliff has become a great lawyer and is assisted in many of his cases by Lee Nader, who has become a well-known finger-print special- ist. Some of the largest cases that come before the World today are worked out by them. Ruby Turnley has written up several of their cases but she has been traveling for several years now and is writing her ex- periences. But what we can't understand is why she spends so much of her time in Germany. Oh,qI had almost forgotten about Annie. She has become a great artist. Everybody knows about her. Her studio is right near my hus- bandls office. Oh, of course, you know that by husband is John D. Rocke- fellow 3rd. Dan Logan is very wealthy also. He spends most of his money in buying boats for Ruth Shelby to take her fancy swimming and diving classes out to deep water for practice. He spends the rest of it in buying boats to follow her. But twenty-five years haven't changed us much for we are in reality still boys and girls of Centenary Academy.

S ecretary PRESIDENTS MESSAGE Fellow Juniors: As we view the work of the past year, we realize that our shortcomings have been many, but we do feel that we have accom- plished a great deal for our Academy, for our class, and for ourselves. Next year we shall have a greater task: that of taking the places of our beloved Seniors, who have so loyally, willingly, and faithfully given their time and service that their school might prosper. lf we expect to fill their places successfully, we must be as loyal as they have been. We must always fight for the right and we must ex- tend a helping hand to the weak. MORSE PACE, President.
