DIVORCEE TIME: 1978 SETTING Memory Manor at Virginia Beach PROPHECY The Wives is Miss Robins' first dramatic attempt but is ex- pected to gain wider acclaim than her novels, My Hear!- breaking Torch, Tale of a Tall Girl, and The Mystery of lhe Duke Devil. Miss Robins and her husband, the eminent satirist, spend their spare time on their palatial estate in Durham, North Carolina, breeding their famous line of Irish setters, sired by Lake's first pet, Rex. The former Miss Nancy johns, prominent socialite and wife of the wealthy Dr. David, has graciously consented to pro- duce Miss Robins' lavish new play, Mrs. David is now liv- ing in Charlottesville for convenience. As leader of the Vir- ginia Social Set, she has made popular her original creation, the johns Twirl, which is actually a different hair-do for every day of the year.

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Senior Class of Collegiate School, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and fifty-eight, being of sound and disposing mind, do hereby draw up and publish this, our Last Will and Testament, to wit: I, ANNE BOSTWICK, leave my lunchtime jokes echoing throughout the cafeteria. I, KAYE BRINKLEY, leave late dates to all incoming seniors. I, ELLEN BUNNELL, leave a pair of waterwings to Ginny Ewing. I, DARD1 EPPS, leave Ashley Boyer to next year's seniors to look after their Collegiate rings. I, MASON HENLEY, leave for the big, bad world. I, ANN HERVEY, leave for Florida, I, MARTHA HORSLEY, leave my little red car still in the shop. I, JANE HUBBARD, leave wandering. I, BETTY HUNT, leave a blanket for all those who sit by the window in Miss Moon's classes. I, CAROL LANE JEFFERSON, leave, having served my term. I,NANcY JOHNS, leave Evaline Hensley a million dollars to solve all her financial problems. I, ANNE LLOYD, leave my athletic ability to Judy Keehn. I, JO ELLEN REDFORD, leave Agnes Cutchins my place on the Library Committee. I, LAKE ROBINS, leave Reed Robins to the class of '75, I, SALLY SCHERER, leave in my usual state of tears. I, PEGGY SHINNICK, leave a ticket to charm school, in case next year's May Queen needs it as much as I did. I, ANNE WALKER, leave my quiet ways to Agnes Cutchins. We, the Senior Class, leave a two-foot snowstorm for use on any horrible Monday morning. If properly stored, can be re-used, We, the Senior Class, leave a plumber to Hx the water cooler that last year's Seniors left the school. We, the Senior Class, leave the Juniors in peace. We, the Senior Class, leave Mrs. Owen, planning to go on diets after eating her de- licious food. We, the Senior Class, leave Miss Moon, taking with us the glow of her inspiration. 32

Miss Bunnell, well-versed in the theatrical' arts from her many hours of research done at the Barksdale Theater, di- rects this production. She won an academy award last sea- son for the best foreign film of the year, The Pole and I. This year her nature series on the habits of the duck-billed pladypus is expected to receive even wider acclaim. Miss Bunnellls most recent outside interest is the opening of her new night club, The Terry Tiger. Miss Sally Scherer has fulfilled one of her lifetime ambitions in writing modern music. This dates back to her early days of musical toil with Miss Cowles at Collegiate School. Miss Scherer, as everyone hoped she would, finally married and is living on Grove Avenue in Richmond. She is now on the Board of Directors at the Country Club so that she may spend even more time there, Miss Henley, as all of her old friends expected she would, writes the lyrics for popular songs, including the songs in The Wives, which are expected to become overnight hits. Some of her latest smashes have been I'm Filling-My Jewelry Box With Bracelets From You, Water Over Warsaw, and 'KPaper Drive Blues. Miss Henley has given up her career as a horsewoman and is practicing to swim the channel, Miss Hervey, the talented musical director, gives her touch of genius to the music of Henley and Scherer. Soon after her graduation from Collegiate, she began a successful ca- reer both as a wife and a musician. Miss Robins is very fortunate in gaining the services of her classmate, who sel- dom consents to leave the Florida sunshine. After her year of training in rhythmics at Collegiate, Miss Shinnick embarked on her spectacular rise to fame in the field of choreography, Her greatest triumph was last sea- son's hit play, Hyde and Ga Seek, written, incidentally, by her young husband. Despite the fact that many of her plays open in New York, Mi-ss Shinnick insists on living in Rich- mond and is now serving as the president of the Daughters of the Confederacy. 34
