Montreal Normai Sciiooi. 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.

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.
