C. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY (Continued from page 26) drawer with dubious results. Some Morgue dweller made a phone call that brought the majority of the Hartsville Police Force to the campus. That inborn desire for men no doubt! And when that screen fell out—well, Charlotte really only meant to pour out her dirty water. Then there was the day Frances Bishop tripped gaily out of the Infirmary to play hockey. And “Willie” never did find her in that closet! “Foot” wore her leotard to a party on Sugarloaf and had some trouble, and Suzanne and Jeanette Harrelson, the great gardeners, planted some tulips upside down. At May Day we were represented by Carleene, Idalyn, and Suzanne in the Court. We carried the daisy chain for our “Big Sisters” at Class Day and moved up to the “jolly” level of juniors. Some smart ones moved to the senior level: Sally, Carleene, Idalyn, Marian Tyner, and Frankie Whittle. We knew our Business Ed majors wouldn’t be back and neither would Dr. Roberts. But we had again won the President’s Cup and were, as sophomores tend to be, rather pleased with ourselves. Jolly we were indeed when we arrived back at school. Mary was elected president of the class and Pat Webster, secretary-treasurer, with a new sponsor, Miss Newell. And to make a long story short—we lost the song contest! We discovered among the new faculty Miss Crary, Mr. Schall, Miss Jackson, and Mrs. Saunders. Wilhelmina Kirkland had joined the staff and so had John Iseman. Dot Dowling and Priscilla Umbers joined our class, and Dr. Barry had come—a definite case of love at first sight. The Big Four Suite established a new practice, bridge by candlelight, and we got smoking privileges in our rooms. Guess who was the first one to lose them—Madam President. Early in the year we began to plan our Junior Play. We decided on Antigone, a Greek tragedy. It turned out to be an all-American tragedy, despite the fact that it featured real live men: Mr. Colbert, Mr. Schall, Mr. Brumbaugh, and Lamar Caldwell. Christmas drew near and DuBose was elected to the Cutie Court. On returning from the holidays, Vivi found Santa had left her a nice present—a trashbasket of new- born mice. And it must have been the coming of spring that prompted someone to ask Marian Duke to go rid- ing—on the merry-go-round. One night Bid, clad in black leotard and tights, leaped out from behind a trunk in the Morgue’s dark hall and scared Sylvia so bad that she got three demerits. You figure it out. And remember what fell through the ceil- ing in the Big Four Suite? And wasn’t it from that same suite that Sterling Smith was shot with a shower hose one fine morning? Marian Duke, McGuirt, Biddy, Marion White, and Pris (who got hers by mail) received pins, and diamonds showed up on Pat Hosey, Viv, and Sylvia McElmurray, who received hers by mail. We gave the seniors an “Underwater” Junior-Senior and ‘lived it up’ ourselves. And the big dance featured Billy May. Viv, Pat Webster, Marian Duke, and Suzanne were in May Court this year. Bid was named to Who’s Who, also to Sophiades along with Suzanne and Viv. And at Class Day we started a new tradition by receiving our Coker rings along with our caps and gowns. We also received three new class members: Bev Jones, Mary Kay, and Bert Drose who moved up to help us try to be “grave old seniors.” Seniors at last! ’Nuf said! After we'd recovered from the thrill of our first senior coffee, we elected our officers who were Biddy, president, — (Continued on page 151)
