Movi m at Normai. School THK SUN DIAL Page F it e J uNIOR-SENIOR BANQUKT An occasion which will always be a memorable one in the heart of each of the college class of HI was that of the lovely banquet given by the Junior sisters, on Monday evening. 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.

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!
