We, this twenty-fifth day of May, in the year of the Mon- treat School, fourteen, do solemnly set our seal to this, our l-ast Will and Testament. CLASS PROPHECY It was May 2?. 1941! We were anticipating with great jov the wonderful treat which was in store for us. In answer to a special request, we had just received a telegram from Mis- Margaret Hook stating that 'he would broadcast over Station - — . N. Y. City, a message from each one of the members of our Senior Class of 1931. “Good evening, friends of the air. This is Station ----, N. Y. City, N. Y. Tonight you arc to have the pleasure of listening to a special program, which is dedicated to the Class of 1931 of Mon- treal Normal School. The participants in the program and the an- nouncer were members of that class. The first number on our program will be a vocal solo by Miss Mary F. Harrell, who is now a famous opera singer, and has excelled Galli Curci in her ability to captivate an audience. She will sing an old favorite of the class, The Last Rose of Summer.”.......... You have just heard Miss Man F. Harrell. Now you'll have the privilege of listening to a lecture by the former Miss Marv Mil- ler Knox, who is now the wife of the football coach of Davidson College, Davidson, N. C. She will speak on Why Gentlemen Pre- fer MonJes” .. . . Now, you’ll be favored with several numbers by a famous or- chestra of San Francisco, Cal., under the direction of Miss Corinne Macdonald. Miss Macdonald has accomplished a great deal in a musical way since leaving Montreal, and she is having much suc- cess as the director of this famous orchestra. Just here, ladies and gentlemen, 1 wish to state that this pro- gram is being sponsored bv the Montreal, Sun Dial,” Montreal. N. C. Montreat has grown considerably in the last ten years and is now the great metropolis of the South. The Sun Dial is the greatest paper of the city. Miss Mary Branche is editor. Miss Lena Rose Poovcy is cartoonist, and Miss Ludie Loftis is the most noted contributor. Miss Ix ftis latest article. “Hints to Teachers, has met with great success. The circulation of the Sun Dial has increased rapidly under the direction of its capable editor. M i Mary Mayfield is also in Montreat; she ha- establishes! a kindergarten there, and is teaching little kiddies to read and write by the Montessori method. Her work has been very successful and she has turned out many well-trained children. We’ll now be favored by a report by Miss Caltha Smith of her latest trip to Europe. Miss Smith is an aviatrix and has made several daring Bights. You have just heard the interesting account of the adventure- some Bight of Miss Caltha Smith, told by herself. I am happy to sav she'll have a lecture by another member of the class. Miss Car- olyn Kimzey, a most noted psychologist, known and admired the world over. She will speak to you tonight on her favorite phase of psychology-abnormal. We are very grateful to Miss Kimzey for her interesting talk. We arc all proud of her, as she has done a great deal to help this old world to be a safer place. We are sorry the other members of the class could not be here tonight, but they sent a message. Miss Sarah Frances Stoddard is the capable head nurse at Johns Hopkins. The former Miss Lula Mac Thomas, now the wife of the principal of Farm School, felt that although this was very important, the boys' banquet tonight was something she couldn't miss. Mi Nellc Roberts is not Miss any longer. She is now enjoying her honeymoon trip to Panama. We all wish for her much happiness and hope that with her every thing will be “O. K.“ M i Margaret Seaborn tent a message from New York City. She is very busy in her laboratory there. She has done much for the advancement of science. Our program, sponsored by the Sun Dial, Montreal. N. C., will conclude with the Alma Mater, sung by the members of the class of '31 who are present. This concludes our program.

May II, at the Assembly Inn. Each Junior acted as an escort to one or two guests. After hav- ing assembled in the lobby of the hotel, we were invited bv the Junior Cla-- President, Norenc Cunningham, into the dining room in which the banquet table was arranged. The table was artistically decorated with sweet peas, lilacs, tulips, and other accessories, car- rying out the Senior colors, orchid and pink. A most original program was carried out, having as its theme a llowcr garden. The first toast was to the gardener and his wife, l)r. and Mrs. Anderson. Dr. Anderson responded in his usual in- teresting way. Caltha Smith then told in song of the Fairies at the Bottom of the Garden.” “To the Soil,” the School, was the next toast, given by Elsie Quick; Carolyn Kim .ey, our saudent body President, responded. Susie Jackson then expressed our appreciation to the Sowers of Seed, the Faculty. Miss Hyde, our sponsor, replied. Following this, a reading. Widow McGee and Larric O'Dec. was recited by Elsie Blankenship. Ida Mac Ellington then toasted Dr. and Mrs. Caldwell, who were representative of the Sunshine and Rain. Dr. Caldwell responded. Mr. and Mrs. Crosby Adams were paid tribute to as the Gentle South Winds, by Mildred Brooks. In reply, both of them said a few words. The “Rustle of Spring was next given, through the voice of the piano, by Doris Nallcy. To Mr. and Mrs. Woodward, truly representative of the stalks to which they were compared, Margaret Gash expressed something of our deep love and appreciation. Mr. Woodward responded with a most inspiring little message. Irene Smallwood and Mildred Books followed this with a lovely duet, “Springtime. Irene then toasted the “Blossoms, the Seniors.” Our class President, Lena Rose Poovcv, answered by expressing our feelings that we hope we may always share our blossoms with others. After a most delightful meal, together with an enjoyable pro- gram, we closed with the singing of our Alma Mater. I think it can be truly said that it was sung from the depths of our hearts. Dear Juniors, you will ever hold a very dear place in our hearts in the help, inspiration, and pleasure you have been to us. r STATISTICS Best All-round — Carolyn Kim .ey.

Your sponsorship during these two years will mean friendship to each of us in years to come. Wc arc losing you as a sponsor, but never as a friend.

P.ige Six T HE SUN 01 A L Montreat Normal School HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS HISTORY OF THE HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR CLASS The Class of 1931 began their High School career in l927-’28 with tuentv-two members of whom only live — Earline, Curtis, Thelma, Laura, and Frances — survived. This class began bravely its journey down the long path that leads to that eventful day — Graduation! Finally, the trials and hardships, as well as joys, of the Freshman class were over. The first milestone was passed, and the Sophomore year was begun. Many good times were enjoyed with Miss Watkins as our spon- sor. Then came exams, which carried us into the stage known as “Jolly Juniors.” As we, the Faithful Five, started our journey to- ward the third milestone, none joined us from the former Soph- omore class, but two new students, Mary, with her many talents, and Marion, who is always cheering us bv tickling the ivories and driving our blues away, came to us. This year is very memorable because of the hard work and the happy times. In September, 1930, the Faithful Five, now increased to seven with Mary and Marion, were joined for our last lap of high school by Kat. Anne, and Ruth, with their love affairs; Joyce, with her cver-ready smile; Hanna, with her thoughtfulness, and Louise and Ethel, with their studiousne -. Many were the good times enjoyed by us, such as the weinie roast on the Gray beard Trail, entertain- ment given us by the C. E. Society for a recognition of our win- ning the contest, delightful teas given by l)r. and Mrs. Caldwell, and Kat and Anne. The first week in April we were grieved at losing our sponsor. Miss Marshall, who had to leave on account of her health, but in our sorrow wc found great joy in having Miss Watkins as our spon- sor. She has been a constant help to the Senior class, and wc wish we could be together longer. On the 30th of April, a very eventful day arrived for us, as on that day wc began having our Senior table. What grand and glo- rious times we have had together there! We were very fortunate in getting Miss Cook as our class mother. In the May Day Festival wc were represented by Anne, who did us great justice by her attractiveness and sweet smile. The Junior-Senior banquet was a marvelous event. Everything was perfectly lovely, and it is impossible to tell the Juniors, our younger sisters, how much wc appreciated the banquet. What a grand feeling it was to be the guests of honor! The next good time was the entertainment given the Juniors by the Seniors. Wc hope that, in a small way, wc have shown our ap- preciation of the good time they have given us at the banquet. Then came the bugbears of the whole year — Final Exams! On them rested our diplomas' Would wc pass? Of course, a class as industrious and climbing as the Senior class of I930- 31 would pass with colors Hying! May 25 came with much jov and anticipation to us! As wc marched down in our caps and gowns, mounted the rostrum and heard the Commencement Address, what thoughts filled our minds! Oh, the receiving of the “sheep-skin!” What a small article to work so hard for! Finally, the idea came to us that wc were grad- uates, and that we would be separating to go into different kinds of work Ethel, I-ouisc, Thelma, Earline, Laura, Mary, Kat, and Marian have college to look forward to. Curtis and Hannah ex- pect to prepare themselves for real service by going into training. Ann, Ruth, and Frances expect, with their chosen companions, to “live in a house by the side of the road and be a friend to man.” A reunion of the class is planned for live years from now, at the Alumnae banquet of 1936. Wonder what we will have to tell each other? Thus ends the history of the Senior Class of 1930 31. What joys and good times we have shared! T Hi: S U N 1) I A I. Page Seven Montreat Normal School CLASS PROPHECY Nineteen eighty-six — another class is graduating from Mon- treal Co-F.d School; another group of youths go blithely on their way to various colleges, or the closer contact with reality in the form of work. The graduating exercises are over, the young men and fair ladies are forgetting the solemnity of the past hour in the im- mense Woodward Gymnasium, where the annual Alumnae banquet is in progress. In the vast library, amid the thousands of volumes that mark the increased interest in literature of the world, sits an old grad- uate. She is too old to attend this outstanding event. The giddy colors of the evening dresses hurt her dimming eyes; she is in a reminiscent mood, and turns the pages of “The Sun Dial for the long-dead year of 1931 -her graduating class! She looks at the young faces of that long-gone year, and sees in place of her dear classmates some prominent women of today. And you, dear read- ers, shall see them as she saw them, and listen as she talked to her- self in the fashion of the very old people who have somehow lost contact with life, and who turn back into themselves. “Well, well, here's ol’ “Kat” Gaston, whose greatest ambition was to be governor of dear ol’ South Carolina. True, she achieved her ambition, and has now retired from the political world, and is making her home in Washington, I). C. “This distinguished looking woman can be none other than — ye-, it i- Marion Weaver! Yes, yes, she has made a name for her- self; for she has established the Weaver Conservatory of Music in New York City. “And there’s ICthel Dawsey, who did not say much; but when ■b did, it usually went down in Miss Watkins’ grade book for an A or A-f-. They say that she is doing great missionary work in the interior of Brazil. “I would like to know who this is. Oh, yes, I remember now; but that picture I see every day advertising the Lewis Hotel Chain doesn’t in the least resemble this. I stayed in one of Farline Rob- ertson’s resort hotels in Palm Beach. Her price took about all my money, but the service was well worth it. “You would hardly recognize Hanna Alexander now, although she is as easy to look at as ever. She married a famous surgeon, I believe, whom she met when she was head nurse at Thomas Broth- ers’ Hospital. “Joyce Price, another notable! She is now editor of one of those tabloid aifairs that gradually came to take the place of the more lengthy newspapers. She gives the news of the day mostly in pic- tures, for people are too busy to read except when they are going to and coming from work. Her face is probably as well-known as anyone’s, for her picture appears quite frequently on her own front pages. “l.indbcrg made dying famous, and Thelma McLean made it a habit. Thelma i now head of the McLean Airway, whose huge- red planes one can see bv only looking out of the nearest window. 1 think I hear one now. “I wonder who this can be. Her face looks familiar. My good- lie- ’ If it isn’t I,aura Hall. It isn’t hard to place her now, for her position in Columbia University as head of the Home Re. Depart- ment i- a coveted position by many of the fairer sex. “Here’s the only one I’ve seen so far who hasn't changed a bit. I’m glad she hasn’t, loo. Mary |one , the champion reader of Mrs. Miller’s Latin classes, is now President of Montreal Co-ed School. In an interview the other day, she said that teaching was the only thing for a woman to do. “As I live and die, if it isn’t Curtis Beam, and she still re- sembles that picture. Curtis has also made a name for herself; she has established “The Sunbeam Hospital” for crippled children in Charlotte, N. C. Who wouldn’t remember this quiet little Miss, who was always ready to help anybody in any way she could, including the teachers when the lessons got too hard: Mary McCoy Hodges has used her tine mind to help others to learn, and for the past twenty years has been Dean of the School of Women at Davidson. Well, well, that is about all of the classmates, excepting Ruth Neal, Anne Kstes, and Frances Ale-wine. 1 have been told that Ruth and Bob were married, and are making their home in Chicago. Yes, of course. Anne and Fuzzy got married, but I don’t know where they are living. Frances and Fvcrctt were married and went to South America to make their home. How well I remember those three talking about their “wonderful” beaux! And it is a comfort to know that they got married and lived happily ever after. Well, that seems to be about the whole list. How far awav now the time seems as I look back on it! In those days we were all to- gether, moved by the same incentives, stirred by the same joys, depressed by the same sorrows. Here we are, fifty years after, scat- tered all over the whole round earth. There arc the old memories, and now and then the echoing call from the past. But, for the most part, we have gone separate ways. Yet something of the dear old school remains with us still. I seem to have recaptured some- thing of my lost youth in looking over this “Sun-Dial” — the symbol of what we did and were back in 1931. Margaret Louise Wilson, ’31.

HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR BANQUET Oh, what a thrill to be a Senior! At least, that’s what wc thought when the Juniors called for us and escorted us to the lovely banquet at the Inn, Monday night. May 4th. The Juniors were very ingenious in carrying out our class colors. The table was charmingly decorated in green and pink, with centerpieces of real roses alternating with large paper roses filled with miniature diplo- mas. Leading from these to each Senior's plate was a green streamer at the end of which was a pink rosebud. Wc all appreciated the lovely toast given us by our Junior sisters, and our President made a very fitting response, expressing our regret at leaving our friends behind. These toasts were followed by in- teresting talk- and entertainments. The songs, piano solos, and readings were very appropriate and delightful, while wc all went into ecstasies of bliss at the clever class prophecy and our imaginary trip to Mars. All of the girls were beautifully dressed, and their broad smiles of expectation and delight matched their gay dresses. Such an array was never before seen reflected in Lake Susan. At the close of the banquet, we sang our Alma Mater, and each one was presented with a pink rosebud by her Junior sister. Next, we went into the lobby, where wc spent an hour in fun. Mr. Wood- ward reminded us, however, that we didn’t have a bell to send u- home, so as a hint to the wise was sufficient, we reluctantly departed and came back to dream of our jolly good time. We thank you, Juniors! v. p., l. it. THE MONTREAT NORMAL SCHOOL LIBRARY The Likkakv has grown to 2,800 volumes since being removed to the auditorium. It has been classified and catalogued. Now wc are confronted with the problem of getting enough books to meet the state requirement. Can you help us? Any gift — whether one book or a hundred — will help us reach our goal of 4,000 books. Wc need reference books of all kinds, especially in the college department. Any college text that has been used in history, psychol- ogy, sociology, economics, science, or English, can be used as refer- ence in both the college and high school departments. Our stock of fiction and biography is very low, as we have depended on the Cora A. Stone Library for this type of book. Books like Bradford’s “Lee, the American;’’ DcKruif’s Microbe Hunters; Durant’s “Story of Philosophy, would be very useful if we had them. Novel-, especial- ly historical and classical novels, will be very acceptable. Our Eng- lish shelf needs modern poetry, especially collections and essays. One striking lack (at least to the English teacher) is Stevenson’s essays. We shall be grateful for any a- istance. The Mountain f alluringly beekon one to partake of nature t charmt.

The exercise were witnosed by a large crowd of Montreat people a well as by many from nearbv towns. The beautiful lawn in front of the Anderson Auditorium i- an ideal place for such a program.
