JUST SENIORS Marvin Sherard is now an inmate at Dix Hill, laboring under the hallucination that he invented the radio. Charlie Best is Marvin ' s guard at the asylum. Haywood Lynch and Fred Stallings are shoveling coal for the J. A. Vinson coal yard. Officer Simmons of the city police force called on Margaret Kornegay, Professor Hayne ' s cook. The ice ' man, Robert Isler, called at the same time, and being of a jealous temper- ament, split the law ' s arm with an ice pick. Margaret two ' timed both of them and married the elevator boy at the bank building, Rufus Batton. Virginia Kornegay has never married but is a sweet old maid. Sadie Harris, Physics teacher at G. H. S., has gone before Congress to appeal for an appropriation to enlarge the laboratory. She will surely get it, for there are two in- fluential congressmen from Goldsboro for it. Mr. Clarence Daniels will do the speaking, while Mr. Turner Stanley sits by and looks intelligent for both of them. Sarah Hill Moore, Gertrude Stith, and Fannie Willis are famous for their luxurious, raven locks. They are now in business together, manufacturing the compound with which they so skillfully deceived the public. Louise Thompson and Mary Spence sell the product in their exclusive accessory shop on Fifth Avenue. Just at this time our reading was interrupted, for Saint Peter was called to the Gate by an incessant knocking. Who should it be but Paul Gillikin, battered and scarred from his journey thru the hard, cruel world. Gladly we welcomed another 26 to Paradise. Paradise, 1946 Florence Johnson, Prophetess. •• Page 26

JUST SENIORS OH, dear, here I am in Paradise, arrived by the automobilcaccident route, due to the careless driving of EHzabeth Smith. BiUie Best and Bessie Barham made the journey with me. There has been an interval of twenty years since our arrival, and inasmuch as we will have to stay here an indefinite period of time, we have become interested in the fate of our G. H. S. classmates of 1926. We decided to appeal to Saint Peter, the Record Keeper, to grant us a peep into his big book which reveals the true fate of all mortals. Our wish was granted and this is what we read : George Dewey Thompson and his devout little wife, Sadie Lou, have become mission- aries and for the last six years have been trying to convert two heathens of long stand ing — Ruth Pate and Claudia Bradford. Dortch Langston is among the converts on their list. Edgar Simkins is singing in grand opera. He is a professional yodeler now touring the African coast. Sarah Langston is playing the part of Carmen in the same company. They have had the distinction of playing before the King and Queen of the Congo, Robert Zealy and Lucy Wise. The official press-agent of the company is Thomas Dorsey. Cynthia Daughtery is with Anna Pavlowa in her Russian Ballet and employs Mary Gardner and Alice Grantham for her personal maids. Elizabeth Smith lost her mind after running over ten people; Lula Hood, Pauline Edwards, Lela Mae Hobbs, Louise Latham, and Esther Norris were among her victims. Elizabeth is now in Sarah Falkener ' s sanatorium for the mentally sick, defacing every available spot with a Safety First placard. Claudia Irwin cannot enter here, for during the recent Florida exodus she has made millions selling hot-dogs at a dollar each in Coral Gables. Elizabeth Dewey helps Claudia advertise by doing The Charleston in front of the dog stand, thereby attracting innumerable tourists. Among the tourists who repor ted this were Robert Summerlin, David Grantham, Beulah Sadler, Louise Johnston, and Beulah Beale. Rosemond Latta and Annie Simmons are booked for the Lower Regions on account of their undying hatred for each other. Alice Musgrave is running a bus from the Isler Apartments to the High School in order to accommodate one of her admirers. Georgia Davis and Alice Slaughter have been endeavoring to transform themselves into mermaids in order that they may attract Mullet Armentrout. William Toler and Maude Fortson, feeling themselves kindred souls, married and have continued in the same rut all their lives. Ida Margoles, elected on the woman ' s ticket to the high office of Sheriff of Wayne County, with her deputies, Lola Stallings, Mildred Boyd, Mary McDonald, and Vivian Dawson, captured Elizabeth Spears ' s still in the Seven Springs section last week; now Fred Crowson and Edwin Crow are drier but wiser! ■4 Page 25
