Montreat Normal, School. T H K S U N I) I A I P.ige Three ALUMNAE BANQUET On Saturday evening, May 21, the Alumna: Association of the Montreal Normal School celebrated the school’s fifteenth anniver- sary at the annual Alumna: banquet in Assembly Inn. Because of the significance of the anniversary, this was one of the most notable banquets in the history of the school. A most effective program was carried out, and it was especially interesting to note how rapidly our school has grown in this short time. Miss Cornelia Archer, president of the Association, presided. ■ O' ■ SEVENTH STUDENTS’ MUSIC RECITAL Mat Dn at Montreal Normal School closed with a splendid recital given by the piano students of Miss Mary P. Lord. At 7:30 on Monday evening. May 9, the chapel of the Anderson Auditorium was practically tilled to its capacity with music lovers from the student body and friend- of the school. A most beautiful program of twenty-three numbers was given. Kach of the young musicians displayed excellent kill and training. The Dance of the Marionettewritten by our own Mrs. Adams, was of special interest. There were duets and quartets bv the most beloved composers. We extend to Miss Lord and each of her students our heartiest congratulations for the excellent work they have done and many thanks for the evening of pleasure they made possible for each of u . o— ■ PROGRAM Duct: Waltz from Faust Gounod-Angclo Eunice Meredith and Grace Fliedner Happy Farmer Label Martinez Schumann Duet: Vorspiel Virdie Lively, Primo.

LOCALS l)r. and Mrs. Anderson spent Sunday, May S, in Charlotte with friends. May Day brought several visitors. Mr. and Mrs. Oliver and their daughter and son-in-law. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dunn were here during the week-end of Mav 7-9. Mis Betty Kiser’s parents and relatives were here also. ‘The students who had been here for several years welcomed Miss Lois Maloney back for a short visit. Mi Maloney was May Queen here four years ago. Montreat welcomes Mi-s Cornelia Archer back for the summer. Everyone is always happy to see the spring bring her back to us. Miss Woodhousc, who has been away lor a short time, is now with us. We arc glad to welcome her back. Miss Woodhousc has always added to our chapel programmes by her delightful singing. The Asheville Prcsbytcrial met May 4-6, at Swannonoa. Several representatives of the Montreal Church attended the meeting. The Girl’s Circle of the Church gav« a pageant which everyone enjoyed. The title of the pageant was “Serving Two Masters. First («111. “Your fathei must be an awful mean man a hoc- maker and inakin you wear those old boots.

I H I SUN D I A L Page Five PROPHECY OF THK SENIOR NORMAL CLASS This i' station M. N. S.. broadcasting from the Land i the Sky. Montreal� North Carolina. This announcement is only tor the M. N. S. Senior Normals of 32. Mrs. John Jones requests the presence of each of the senior normals of '32 to be her guests at her summer home at Montreal, May, 23 to May 26, 19+2. Before her marriage Mrs. Jones was Mae Macdonald. After finishing her three-year course at the Mi ion Hospital in A-heville she became the bride of Dr. John Jones of John Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland. May twenty-third arrived, bringing Mae - guest' in airplanes, boats, trains, cars, and on foot. After the confusion of greeting one another was over, they all assembled in the dining room where an elaborate dinner was served. Some one suggested that they all tell what had happened in the last ten years. Ruth McClain began first. “After finishing at Montrcat I studied at Richmond, Virginia, to be a missionary. I was there for two years, and then took up my home mission work in the hills of west- ern North Carolina. I was called to China at the end of my last year there, and now I am on my furlough.” Susie Jackson was next in line. “The last ten years of my life have been interesting ones. I have been buying hats for Miller's Millinery Shop in New York. I go t � Paris every year. 1 know this visit here is going to be a pleasure, for it will take my mind olf the busy rush of New York.” After serving the cocktail' Irene Smallwood arose. “As you girls know, I went to New York Semin tudy Bible and there met my preacher. I put my whole heart in the work and study, and as you know, mv husband i- Rev. R. C. Jones of the First Presbyterian Ch irch in New York. Elsie Barron i pinching me, • I'll down and let her talk.” Elsie jumped up before Irene was seated. “When in Montreat I never dreamed of being an aviatrix, but on my way home I met a cute girl ju-t from the Lmgland Aviation Field. She seemed to enjoy aviation so much that I decided to take it up. Now I’m carrying the mail from Miami. Florida, to the Phillipinc Islands. In the morning PI take some of vou up, and we’ll do some stunting.” Margaret Burney who had been sitting on the edge of her chair anxiously waiting her turn to talk, arose immediately. “The sum- mer after I left Montreat, Dr. Singleton, who is now my husband, had bought a yacht without letting me know anything about it. He gave it to me for a wedding present. We were married a month after I left Montreal, and we are now living in Wilmington, North Carolina, where he has his office.” That impudent Mildred Brooks yelled out, Sit down, Burney, let me talk some. My lir-t three years were spent doing experi- mental work in Chicago. One day I was singing while doing an experiment, and Dr. Smith walked up to me and aid, 'Mi-- Brooks, I didn't know that you had such a lovely voice. You should try- out for the opera.' Well. I went to have my voice tested, and girls, I made a success. For the last two year- I have been singing in the Metropolitan Opera.” Margaret Gash then rose. “Well, I don't think that my life has been romantic as Mickey’s, but it has been a very interesting one. I’m dean of Ague Scott College, an 1 I thoroughly enjoy it. One thing I have accomplished is making Agnes Scott co-ed. So just .-end your girls and boys to me, and I’ll take tare of them. Harriet Seaborn v .«- tin next peaker. “I completed my college education at Maryville College, Maryville, Tennessee, and then went to Detroit to 'tudy to be a librarian. I returned to Knox- ville and obtained a position as librarian of the University of Tenne—ee. The greatest joy of mv life has been being elected sponsor of the football team.” N Idc Mac Ell “Girls, after I Mon- trcat I went • chool at I men Univcr ity in Atlanta, Georgia. I decided that my life work was to be that of a teacher. I have been teaching in my home town. I guess you are all surprised that I'm not married, but I’d rather teach.” At the end of the main course Mabel Clarke arose. “When I left Montreal, I went to Knoxville and took a business course. After my business course I went to Durham, North Carolina, and am now private secretary to the president of Duke University.” We next heard from Pauline Edwards. “It’s indeed a pleasure to be here with all of you again. As you know, my profession is beautifying people. I own and manage six beauty parlors, and my greatest pleasure is giving finger waves and permanent waves to the young men of Davidson College. Elsie Quick, who was -itting at her right, rose and related her experiences. “As you all know I always planned to Ik a librarian. 1 took the training but the best luck of my life happened two months before I was to take my first job. I met the ‘man of my dreams,’ and we now live in Ellcnboro, North Carolina. As the salad was brought in. Norenc Cunningham arose, pulling at the table. “I suppose you wonder what has become of my extra weight. After leaving Montreal I was fairly happy for four years, still hoping that the boy I met and fell out with at F'arm School would come along again. One day I happened to read in the paper that he had married another girl, and for the last six years I have been trying to forget and be happy, but to no avail.” Vcma Well- arose with an air of dignity. “My first two years after leaving Montreal were spent in teaching in my home town. I then decided to go to Virginia and finish my education and be a lawyer. I finished my course and am now leaving for Paris .France.’ Just about the time every one was ready for the dessert, Lotus Vance jumped up. ‘‘Since leaving Montreal I have gone to Berea, Ky., and finished my other two years of college work. I taught two years but soon grew tired and quit. I have been studying my baby sister psychologically, using Strang as a basis. I find it so interesting that I am now planning on getting my M. A. in Psychology. Elsie Blankenship arose last and related her experiences. “Since 1 saw you all last. I have had some rather peculiar experiences. I never once dreamed of living on a farm, but mv mother and I live about five miles from Charleston, West Virginia, and run a poultrv and dairy farm. After the dinner was over, the merry crowd gathered in the liv- ing room and completed the perfect day by singing the Montreal Alma Mater.

Mildred Brooks Page Six H F. $ f N D I A L Montreal Normal School THE JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET An occasion which crowned all others in the hearts of the Seniors was the beautiful banquet given to the Seniors by their sister class on Monday evening. Slay 2. 1932. at the Assembly Inn. Each Junior acted as an escort to her Big Sister. As the couples strolled into the dining room they were held spell-bound by the beautiful arrangements of the flowers and tables. The table formed a triangle, and were most artistically dressed with sweet pea and tulip ; the center being set off bv a lovely intermingling of fern and dog-wood. The class color were green and yellow, and wre wonderfully carried out both in decoration and menu. The place cards for the member of the senior class were picture of dignified-looking seniors in traveling dress. The other guests and the members of the junior class had place cards in pink and white, the junior class colors. To each place card was attached a ribbon of one of the class colors, the other end of which held a favor for the members of the senior class and a prophetic note for the members of the junior class and the guests. The program was a delightful one with Mi Dora Gregg, presi- dent of the junior class, .1- The first toast was given by Dora Lou Warren to the senior cla- and their sponsor. Mi- Margaret Wade. The senior clas- president. Miss Elsie Blanken- ship, responded with a few well chosen words. The next toast was by Miss Frances Malcom, who expressed our great appreciation for Mr. and Mrs. Woodward. Mr. Woodward responded in his own attractive way. Then to our dear president and his wife. Dr. and Mrs. Anderson, Virginia Kohout gave a sincere toast of gratitude. Dr. Anderson responded in a most interesting way by telling something of our school's history during it fifteen years of existence. To our beloved faculty members and friends who were present. Mi- Dorotln Haync gave a toast expressing our thanks for their man) kind deeds rendered to the school. Mr . Crosby Adams, Mrs. Glasgow, and Dr. Caldwell each responded most graciously and gave many lasting thoughts in their responses. Immediately after the final course a group of junior girls sang “The Indian Love Call. filling the room with a sweet and soft melody. Then Miss Katharine Rhyne gave a ioa?i to Miss Carrie E. Spencer, the sponsor of the junior class. To this Miss Spencer responded in her attractive manner. Mi- Mildred Williams en- tertained the group with a dramatic reading. Then came the time for our curiosity to be satisfied, for everyone was asked to pull her ribbon, and from the big paper tulips came tumbling the various favors and fortunes. Miss Spencer was surprised to find at the end of her ribbon a box of chocolates, a token of appreciation ansi love from the members of the junior class.

Page Eight THK SIN DIAL Montrkat Normal School HISTORY OF SENIOR HIGH CLASS Can you imagine that after four long years the eventful day has at last arrived? Graduation! It seems but yesterday that a little band of twenty freshmen— four, Mary, Betty, Helen, and Georgia have survived to the end— began their high school career. Oh, what thrilling times we had that first year. Even if we were green freshmen, we had the honor of having one of our class mates the May Queen. We were sorry to lose so many of our members at the beginning of our Sophomore year, but we were happy to welcome all the new ones, seven of which have remained with us. The mist began to disappear at the beginning of our Junior year. We realized that the day we longed for was not far off. We were indeed the “Jolly Juniors.” I'hrec of our band joined us this year, the happy days which will never be forgotten. Seniors? Yes, at last' 'The long hoped for year had at last arrived. Our number was increased bv three new members. The first thrill was one Monday in October when we gathered to decide on and order our rings. 'The annual Junior-Senior Banquet was a marvelous event. Such a wonderful time as those Juniors did give us! It will be im- possible to tell them how much we appreciated the lovely banquet, but perhaps next year they will know how we felt. There were two other big events before Commencement, name- ly, sitting at our Senior table and giving our Senior play. We have many talented girls in our class, as was shown the performance of the “Rivals.” Were we not glad when our last exam, was finished? I’ll say we were! Now, we could enjoy Commencement to the fullest. First came the concert in which the choir sang and some of the music pupils played. Our last Saturday was taken up with exhibits and a lovely banquet to end the day. On Sunday morning we enjoyed the baccalaureate sermon which was preached by Rev. W. II. McCorklc. Sunday evening Dr. Anderson preached his usual help- ful, farewell sermon. On Monday we felt, indeed, “The Children of the King,” as we marched down the aisle to receive our diplomas and many other prizes. We arc indebted to Miss Hoyt, our sponsor, for making our year such a pleasant and happy year. SENIOR HIGH CLASS GIVES PLAY On Saturday night. May 14, every body gathered in the chapel of the Anderson Auditorium to see the annual play given by the students of the Senior High class, which was entitled “The Rivals.” 'The costumes were of old-fashioned make, and the play was a great success.

Seniors of 32 HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET From the bustle and confusion among the Juniors the week before the banquet, we expected great things, and we got what we expected and more—a good dinner, a charming program, a “marvelous” time, and even corsages. The night of April the twenty-seventh saw all the Seniors in the lobby of Assembly Inn, eager to see what their Junior sisters had prepared for them. The toasts and favors carried out the theme of “An Old-Fashioned Girl, and the tables were beautifully deco- rated with sweet peas and violets. Betsy Miller, as president of the Junior Class, was toastmistress, giving to the Seniors, to which Sara Boss, president of the Senior Class, responded. Between courses June Hiles and Rose Smith sang several popular songs. The last toast, to which Dr. Anderson responded, was given to the guests. Four of the Juniors did the minuet. Afterwards the whole Junior Class sang to the Seniors, all joining in afterwards with the Alma Mater. We arc going to miss you. Juniors, when we arc out in the world, and among the many pleasant memories of Montreat, the Junior- Senior Banquet will be uppermost. MoNTKfcA'i N'ikmai, School Page Sine T II i: s I N I) I A L HIGH SCHOOL PROPHECY Zowcc—boom! What is that? Just a little plane landing on the planet Mars in 1942. Yes, there’s to be a great merrymaking up here tonight. The Seniors of the Montreal Normal School of ‘32 arc to meet there for a partv. Of course, the honor guests arc Dr. and Mrs. Anderson and Mr. and Mrs. Woodward who arc to talk as usual. But wait! The guests arc arriving. First to come in i Sarah Boss, our president. After finishing college at Montreat she entered Moody Bible School. Then she became a pastor’s secretary. Now quite naturally, she is his helper—but in a different way. Next to come in is, not the bumblebee, but Virginia Braswell, who is president of a school in Atlanta for undernourished children. What’s this1 Oh, we hardly knew her. It is our own Betty Cain who has joined the rank of famous actresses. You sec her at night after a hard day’s work. Remember her in our Senior play, “The Rival”? Now we have with us another famed personage in the artistic way—Mildred Chandler can new sing the notes that her idol, I.ilv Pons, could sing. Mildred, we congratulate you. We want you to sing for us tonight. There are others arriving fast now. To my right is Brooke l'-d- wards, who Hew from Brazil up here. She is teaching I'.nglish in her uncle’s school there. We always thought you had your ability in I'.nglish, Brooke. Here is little Georgia Greenwood. No. she is not as slim as she used to be. Anyway, she always had a liking for anything Presbyterian—especially ministers. She has one now and is happy back in Montreal, because she can invite the girb ansi boys (oh, yes) down for parties. If you ever need anything done to you—operations (especially for the brain) or things like that, just call on Margaret Harri n. You sec she is now one of the world’s greatest surgeons. Klcanor King! No, that doesn’t sound right to us—it is ’nut. She is to be on the program tonight with her famous impersona- tions. How well we remember her impersonations of----------with the old hat and glasses. You sec she still does that for her fun. but you probably know her better as a writer. Her latest book is “Mv Methods for Studying Knglish.” 1, is a nice book; every- body ought to read it. We also have here tonight Helen Kohl we is. You will hear and sec her play either at vour telephone or radio if you but tune in at the Doniletcher Hotel, Planet Mars. Helen i- noted all over these two planets as the second Paderewski. Watch closely her fingers and her foot work. One seldom hears of Clara Barton and Florence Nightingale any- more. I; 1' always either Yirdic Lively or Rosamond Montgomery. They have certainly won places in the hearts of the world, and we are proud to claim them. Our May Queen, Geneva Oliver, i bust training her little daughters to Ik- future May Queens at Montreat. They tried to get Geneva to stay and be the Mat Queen every year, but they let her leave when she promised to send others. Whatr Fveryone is rising! In comes the president of the United States.

You know the one in the hook-room everyone has been wanting to buy. Well, we’ve dccdcid to whom we’re going to give it. Oh, just a minute! l ct me tell you about those games. Every class has played every other class, and by the way—we arc all still good friends. Of course there’s some mighty hefty teams and some mighty “puny” ones; and some of us nearly got hurt, but we’re still together enough to give those Junior Normals a big hand and tell them they can really play basketball. The sportsmanship of that team is to be admired also. Now—the cup! Yes, just as you thought. We take great pleasure in presenting the loving cup to the Junior Normal team, and we wish to say, “You have played well and deserve this honor. Hail, Junior?! Hail!” “FINIS CORONAT OPUS” CLUB The following students have been elected to honorary member- ship in the Finis Coronat Opus Club: Virginia Braswell, Anita McPherson, Florence McPherson, Betty Rose Wright.
