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. Certainly she must conic because it is our own Cora Belle Orr. Remember the depression back in ’32? Well, as soon as she became president, it all came out all right. Of course, you have heard of the famous Mart Richardson. She : here tonight and all smile-. She and Mr . Mel .can have school- all over the world, teaching Home Kconomics and the art of making plaits. We all remember how curlv-haired Ruth Stancil wanted to be in the circus. Her wish was granted, for now he take? the prize for being the fat lady in the -ide -how. I have not found out yet how she got up here. And here is France- Lyle, who, after finishing college, became the wife of a minister in Alabama and is doing personal and social work among the young people. I. as , but not least, we have with us Janie Perrin Stevens. She f II-wed in the footsteps of her famous father and went back to her beloved China as a missionary. This ’« all because there i- no more. I hope you are all looking an] I sterling and won’t miss a single feature of this delightful entertainment. This is the Donfletcher Hotel, broadcasting from Planet Mars, 1942. The program begins v':h Francks Lyi.i:, Class Prophet.

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. Those taking part in the play were: Sir Anthony Absolute .........................Helen Kohlwcis Captain Absolute ...............................

Sara Boss I Mildred Chandler David Rosamond Montgomery Thomas Mary Richardson BO) Margaret Harrison Servant Virginia Braswell Mrs. Maloprop Eleanor King Lydia Languish Betty Cain Julia Geneva Oliver Lucy —..................................

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.
