junior CE Here we were, Juniors at last. All thirty-one of us! Now we could have all of those upperclassmen’s privileges —we could sign ourselves out; we could roam the halls after 11:00 P. M.; and we now had so many mid-weeks that we even spent them listening to Civ. records in the library. We shall say it was quantity that caused us to be somewhat of a failure; after the Song Contest, we real- ized for the third time that we couldn't sing. On the other hand quality enabled us to gather together a hockey, volleyball, and basketball team. We even won a hockey game. For the annual junior play, we decided to be novel and present a Greek Tragedy. But Socrates had a way of using men in his tragedies. Let’s face it, there was a scarcity of men at Coker. However, we drafted a couple of male faculty members plus a male student and the play got underway. With Miss Newell’s careful direc- tion, we finally learned enough of our parts that the ad libbing made some sense and the curtain rose on Antigone. Thanksgiving found us very thankful ... only 14 months ’til graduation. We surely felt our higher posi- tion in school because what had once been a rumor was now an actuality—those dreaded “Junior Civ. Tests.” Why should we care if Marie de Medici picked Richelieu to be Louis XIII’s regent? It was truly Greek, or should we say “Boubarian.” The Christmas season brought many sparkles to our eyes as well as to some left hands. Among the more for- tunate were Pat Hosey and Vivian Ruthven. Sylvia Mc- istory Elmurray even found a bright object in her mailbox. While the beaus of Marian Duke, Vivi Kirk, Ann Mc- Guirt, Priscilla Umbers and Marian White had honored them with pins of romantic significance, most of us had to content ourselves with the “safety” variety. Exams came and finally went, and all of us pulled through. Next semester we promised ourselves to catch up and make all “A’s’—roomcare, too! Spring soon ven- tured in and all were drugged with a terrible dose of “spring fever.” Juniors couldn’t loaf long, though, be- cause Junior-Senior time drew near. Scraping all our pennies in a little pile, we prepared to entertain the sen- iors in fine style. We enjoyed it and we hope the Seniors did also. We even had a few brains.in our class. Ann Boat- wright, Suzanne DuRant, and Vivian Ruthven were tapped by Sophiades. Weren't we proud of them? Idalyn Stoll, one of our ex-classmates, also was tapped on the Senior level. (Look out, Seniors, we still claim her, too.) When “Who's Who” members were announced, Ann Boatwright was right in the midst of that select group. Everything in May seemed May—May Day and Billy May, both were wonderful; but our eyes were turned to- ward graduation. Here we sadly waved our good-byes iv our Superiors and some of our old members—Sal!, Banks, Carlene Myers, Idalyn Stoll, Marian Tyner, frances Whit- tle, and Summers Ulmer. They were just too smart for us. To ease the pain of their leaving, we were robed in our caps and gowns; upon our fingers, right hands, we could see class rings. Now, we were Seniors for real!
