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
