THE REFLECTOR portals of tfjc 4Dast Graduation is an event that definitely separates one portion of life from another. As we approach this great day, we grow reminiscent as well as expectant. In this mood as Katherine and I were strolling down the walk the other day, we saw all around us our classmates. Its funny,” 1 remarked, to think that we are almost ready to graduate. Why, it seems just like yesterday that we came over to the old lligh School. Don t you remember we thought we were the biggest things? Goodness, we sup¬ posed that everybody would take Frances, and Bernice, and the rest of our bunch for upper classmen. And then Miss Mitchell came right up to us and told us to come on into the chapel with the rest of the freshmen. Do you remember Cleo McCready’s hair? She had just had a boyish bob, and everybody was teasing her about it. And that precious, chubby, little Boyd Morris! His mother had evidently washed his face and ears and curled his hair for the occasion. There goes Leila George. She came from the North three months later; you’d never know it now unless you talked to her for about five minutes. “The thing that stands out in my memory is the paralyzing effect of those first exams.

All we heard was a bump and a crash, and there he sat blinking at the bottom of the steps. Maybe his armful of books softened his fall. “And weren’t we conceited the year we were moved over to the main building. And didn’t we feel sorry for the bunch of juniors that were left in Room 14? Henry Parrish was positively deflated. The folks from Curry came over that y ear —j ; Prissy,” Sarah Lucas, Mary Scarborough, and Elizabeth Wills. “Oh, Junior Stunt Night. I almost forgot that and all the ways we made money for Junior-Senior. 1 think we sold candy every week at Meyer ' s, and the newspapers and magazines we sold the junk man. I believe Marion Goss got millions of them. I think our reception was quite original, don’t you? Sally Clegg darling bride, and Douggie’ and Gladys were attendants. 29 was a
