THE SI N DIAI 23 Hikfrs MR. AND MRS. WOODWARD ENTERTAIN SENIORS On the evening of Saturday. April 10th, Mr. and Mrs. Woodward gave a diner party in honor of Lamar’s borthday, having as their special guests the High School Seniors. The color scheme was carried out in the class colors, purple and gold. The table was attractively decorated with green vines, in which were in- tertwined yellow jonquils and purple sweet peas. The motif design was a gorgeous basket of these flowers, with a large bow of purple tulle on the handle. The scene was effectively lighted by a number of yellow can- dles in crystal holders. At each place was a tiny diploma in gold, tied with purple ribbon. When these were unrolled, they proved to contain the menu, which had the names of the officers of the class and teachers cleverly used in naming the articles of food. The menu consisted of the following: Montreat Cocktail Hi School Hearts Senior Plums Chickan a la Rost Sponsor Relish McDowell pommes de terre Class Peas Dorsey Delight Reynolds Roll Anderson Salad Tripp Trifles Webb Glace 1926 Cakes Teachers’ Special Miller Mints Members of the Sophomore Class, daintily dressed as maids, served the dinner. Annie Sue Rost. Class President, gave some very interesting statistics regarding the class as a whole and also the different individuals. Dur- ing the dinner, little Albert Rauman came in with telegrams for each member of the class. These were read and proved to contain some mes- sage of personal interest. After the last course, the guests re- paired to the lobby, where they were entertained by a program of various selections. Readings were given by Miss Virginia Wheatley, of Grove Park School in Asheville; vocal solos by Emilie Miller and piano solos by Li Faung Wang.

22 THE SUN DIAL SENIOR HIGH CLASS HISTORY Ten years ago, bright, happy little boys and girls were growing up in different sections of our country, leading a very carefree life. But four years ago the trouble be- gan. No longer considered “little, we were packed off to Montreat to register as Freshmen in the High School there. On the porch of the school stood Bertha Bailey and Don- ald Wilson staring in wonder at the lesson schedule just posted. “Boy, be you a Freshman? I remember hearing Bertha ask. And Donald’s answer was, “Looks that way.” Soon we were fairly swimming in Latin. English. Biology, French, and Math books. We swam, floated, sank, rose again, struggled on. A few went under, others were dragged ashore, but those of us you see here now have won—won the great race of High School. There are glad memories and sad memories to look back on. During our Sophomore year the school dor- mitory burned, and Andelk Lodge and Sylvan Heights were opened for our use. Our class has provided the Student Body with the following valuable of- ficers : President of Student Body (25- 26)), Elizabeth Hamilton. President of Senior C. E. (24-25), William Buckner. President of Senior C. E. (25-26), Donald Wilson. Athletic Manager (24-25, 25-26), Bertha Bailey. Last years’ statistics also show that we provided for the school: The biggest flirt—Mac Walker. The most bashful girl—Mattie Johnson. The most popular—Sara Jenkins. Most ambitious boy — William Buckner. These are not all, but they suffice. Our graduating class this year is the largest in the history of the school. How proud we feel, and yet, how willingly we surrender our places to the coming Seniors. Emilie Miller. We’ve all heard about the absent minded professor who scratched his griddle cakes and poured molasses down his back, but how about the one who tied his spaghetti and poured ketchup on his shoestrings. Senior Classes Present Plays Though beset with the difficulties and snags which lie in the path of all dramatic undertakings, the Seniors have been hard at work on the two plays promised as a part of com- mencement events. The enthusiasm and co-operation shown by the casts should be gratifying to the two Senior classes, who have worked hard to make possible the presentation of these plays. Both of them arc in one- act form and are among the most popular of those given by various dramatic organizations in recent years. The names of the plays with the casts of characters arc as follows: Suppressed Desires by Susan G las pel I Henrietta Brewster. .Ruth Reynolds Stephen Brewster.. .Annie Sue Bost Mabel ...............Jessie Jones The Maker of Dreams by Oliphant Down Pierrette .........Lucile Gladney Pierrot..............Emilie Miller The Manufacturer Caroline McElveen Miss Gordon (entering Study Hall)—“Order please!” Eva (half asleep)—“Egg sand- wich.” A SPRING WEDDING. March pipes the wedding tunc so gay. And at the jocund call the brides- maid comes— Fair April—clothed in robes, soft rose and gray; Then into June’s adorning, out- stretched arms, She leads fair, winsome, dimpled, sonsie May! R. Chauncey Webb. SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL CLASS POEM. As forth from our srhool we bravely fare. Forth in the wide, wide world; May the banner of truth above our heads Forever be unfurled. May we win in the contest before us Grow strong in the battle for right; And in the world as we come and go. May we be as a ray of light. To you who now take up the torch to bear. Pray always hold it high; And it's gleaming light of truth and right. May it never, never die I We give to your hands this precious torch Knowing you will be true; And also we give you our hearts of love As we say, Famvell’ ’to you. To you who have guided and taught us here. And lived with us day by day; And taken our hands for four long years. And led us all the way; We give you our love, our esteem and respect. And in our hearts t heres’ a space That we keep for you alone, dear friends. No other can hold that place. And now to our school, the Normal School, Would that our tongues could say Hoiv much we love our Alma Mater. What she has meant each day. And as we go out to our place in the world We'll everyone be true To the ideals learned in the Normal School And every dear friend to you. And so while the years may come and go. There'll be memories in each heart So sweet they can never grow dim with time, No matter how far we part. But with the years they'll brighter grow— These memories too dear to tell; And now we pray a blessing on all As to you we say Farewell. Elizabeth Hamilton, Class Poet.
