S A Great Lady-A Great School Grouped around the portrait of Miss Hutchison are the undergraduate class presidents. Dorothy Orgill, president of the Junior Class, explains the high standards and ideals which Miss Hutchison set for our school, and the spirit which has grown stronger with each year. Listening are Elaine Dies, Sophomore Class president, Claire Sebralla, Eighth Grade president 5 and Jane Johnson, president of the Freshman Class. What a wonderful year this has been! Looking back, everything we have done in high school is so vivid, as making gifts to a needy family . . . preparing the many different chapel programs . . . helping in the cafeteria during the noon rush . . . the many campaigns we took part in, as the March of Dimes to which we gave the largest contribution ever, the Fire Prevention and Clean-Up campaigns, and the Com- munity Fund Drive . . . the progress made with the Honor System . . . and all the clubs and other activities which have kept us so busy. The Intermediate Department has certainly done its share too. How about the party for the new pupils when each grade gave a skit . . . the Thanksgiving play, written, directed, and costumed by the students . . . the Christmas party for the dancing school . . . the keen competition between the classes in kick-ball and basketball . . . the French play put on by the Seventh Grade . . . the Glec Club program in the Study Hall before Christmas, and the caroling during the holidays . . . the Seventh Grade masquerade party at the last dancing class of the year . . . or the thrills and spills of Field Day? The Primary may not be very big, but thcy've been mighty busy! Think of the fun they had preparing programs to explain the meanings of the various holidays . . . the ice-cream and cake party at the beginning of school for the new pupils . . . the unforgettable Christmas play and the party when everyone got a present and a candy favor . . . the Valentine party . . . the wonderful field trips to the Brooks Art Gallery, the firerstation, the dairy farm, and the pioneer home, Magevney House . . . rhythm and listening records and filhls. Yes, it has been a wonderful year! Page Twenty-Eight L , ,

r l Juniors Foretell The Future January 10, 1965 Dear Diary, I have been having a delightful vacation here on the Riviera but today has been one of the most wonderful days of my life. To begin with, as I was walking on the beach early this morning whom should I see but Mary Lee, the president of my Hutchison graduating class. She told me that she was vacationing while Virginia Lee looked after their railroad from Memphis to Lexington, Virginia. just then we were joined by Julia Donelson, who is recuperating from pushing buttons to run her household, and Betty Cummins, who has just invented a chemical to make nails grow as red as if they were polished. They spoke of the audience going mad over Ioye Richert's singing at the Monte Carlo and of the crowds on the beach following Anne Acree, the star of the movie It. On our way to dinner we tripped over Paula Richerdson avidly reading Mar- garet McKee's best seller Now We Are Fivel' which is a sequel to Now We Are Fourf' Paula who has been a foreign correspondent in the African diamond mines, will soon take over her new position as editor of the Commercial Appeal. During lunch we were amazed to see Wootie, who has just finished a long Broad- way run as Harvey the invisible rabbit, walking toward us. She joined. eagerly in our plans for a reunion party and suggested that we get Beth, who is here to sell her for- mula for uncurling eyebrows, and Emily, who is vacationing with her husband ta wealthy Virginia planterl, to help us wire the other members of our class. They were glad to help us and we spent the early afternoon wiring girls in different parts of the world. I returned to the hotel in the late afternoon and turned on the radio, hoping to find some music. A voice blared out, 'SNancy Greenlese has just stated that she will run for president on States Rights. Flash, Zeni Fowler successfully completed her January swim across the English Channel! I turned the dial and the familiar voice of Bede Beasley, now a sports commentator, greeted me with these words, today I shall give you a first hand account of the championship tennis match. Marjorie Polk is as usual attired in a black lace tennis dress while her opponent--. Interesting as this was, I turned on to station USSR to hear the Siberia Philharmonic Symphony. To my surprise I heard that Peggy Adams was conducting the Lunatic Concerto in A minor by Florence Albro. At seven this evening Deeda, who has been married five times, and her escort, Ali Khan's son, drove me to the party. We entered with Sterling and her husband a hand- some doctor and spotted Barbara, the chief speaker of the WCTU, practising her next speech on Ray Elizabeth, the president of DAR. In a far corner Betty Jo, a famous artist, and Zoe were discussing Zoels contract for redeeorating Versailles. jane Pyron, a professional model, entered wearing Phyllis Chandler's latest original creation. I over- heard Dorthyann, the wife of a Spanish nobleman, and Mary Liz Murry, who recently took over Phil Murray's position as president of CIO, bringing themselves up to date on Etla Mae, Cynthia, and Mary Alice. It seems that Etla Mae is a cancer specialist, that Mary Alice is a noted bacteriologist, and that Cynthia has found a mistake in Einstein's theory of relativity. Trudy, the political boss of Memphis, rushed up to show me some telegrams. Carol said she couldnlt come down from her flagpole until she had set a new record. Jessica Bartonls duties as Secretary General of the UN kept her away, and Marcia was busy hunting for Inca ruins in South America. Mariann told me that Elizabeth McCallen is the headmistress of a photography school and that Tandy is the warden of the Tennessee Penal Farm. Mariann attributed her success in manufacturing ashtrays from orange peels to the training she received at Hutchison. Nell is also a tycoon, she manufactures foundation garments and has been studying Parisian styles. Louisa, Irene, and Jamie told me about their work as models. Louisa poses for stocking adds, Irene models for the Sears-Roebuck catalogue, and Jamie poses as the happy mother who gives her children Hadacol. Jessie Rodgers spoke enthusiasti- cally of her work as an English teacher at our dear alma mater. At the close of the party Wade, who is now a Metropolitan opera star, sang for us. This was the perfect end of a wonderful day. Page 3 Twenty-Seven
