She named her tea room in honor of the one from whom she learned much that is invaluable to a person in her position.” Number nine, a tiny, graceful, but dignified fellow spoke next. Katharine Rhyne has just returned from a lecture tour of Europe where she spoke before many celebrated audience on “Music p- pre.nation.” In addition to her music. Katharine's one-act comedies have won fame for her.” The tenth fish was ready for his turn to speak. “Ella Stephens ’ he said, is now teaching Bible at l amer, Tennessee. She says that she is very glad that she stored up so much Scripture in her mind while in Montreal.” Number eleven was a hefty, athletic-looking fish. (But why shouldn't he have been?) Grace Segresi,” he said, is this very week in Black Mountain, North Carolina, where she is to referee the world’s championship basketball game at the Olympics. Frances Malcom,” the next fish continued, “began her public career as secretary for a certain Paul, who had just been made prin- cipal of Fulton High School, Atlanta. Now she gives the orders— in their bungalow. As the next lish began to speak, the old fisherman leaned forward. It was number thirteen! But his tale was not a sad one. “Dora l,ou Warren still loves little boys. She has thirteen little live wires” in her care at Thornwcll Orphanage. And, by the way, there is one- big boy there whose name she has taken.” Number fourteen gave a graceful forward roll before he spoke, “lamise Wilson is the owner of the famous Wilson circus and i- the best acrobat in the entire circus. One of her feats is walking number sixty spool thread for a rope. The fifteenth lish spoke: Sara Simpson was called back to Mon- treal when the enrollment became so large that one dietitian was not enough. Now she is acting as dining room matron and is as much loved by the students as she was by her school mates in '32 and ’33.’’ Karlinc Robertson, ’ number sixteen said, “is happily engaged in active social service work in Chicago.” The seventeenth lish spoke thus: “My tale is last, but it is not about the least success that has come to a member of this class. Mary Jones has brought the world to Montreal through her famous music conservatory. Through her efforts Montreal has become a musical center as well as the 'Mecca of the Presbyterians'.” The shades of night were falling fast, but the calm was disturbed by a sudden storm. Waves dashed against the boat. Lightning flashed. Thunder clapped, and Mr. Woodward awoke to find the three hundred Montreat Normal students rushing out of the dormi- tory for a lire drill. -----------O' ■ - CLASS WILL State of North Carolina, Town of Montreal.

School Skniok Coi.i.kok Class HISTORY OF THK CLASS OF 1933 Do you breathe .i sigh ;u xvc approach the time of graduation' Truly, speaking for most of us, we do! There were two old veterans, Marline Robertson and Mary Jones, left over from the Senior High Class of 31. to welcome and join the Junior Class of 32. There were twenty-one of us to share the joys and hardships together, but we earnestly say that our joys were more numerous than our hardships. There were many parties during the year besides the “big events, such as: the basketball tournament (and by the way, we won), the community dinner, cleaning of the Winsborough Building, and the Junior- Senior banquet, which was the climax. At the end of the year when graduation day came, we sat back as timidly as mice, hoping when we became Seniors, to look as wise and cultured as those “Senior Normals'’ who were beginning new fields of life. All through our Junior year luck seemed to be in our hands, and although there were trials, we waded through them and came safely to the Senior year. As we entered our Senior year, we were sorry to find that four of our former class-mates could not join us. However, we were glad that the remaining seventeen were privileged to be back. We had a good time working for the Seniors the last year, but this year we have been entertained by the Juniors and are grateful to them for the good times they have given us. Work seems to have taken the greater part of our time thi- vear, and perhaps some will welcome graduation, but we have a tender spot in our heart for the place we leave, and although our eves may (ill as we receive our diplomas, we 'hall go forward into the world, trying t » live up to the ideals Montreal Normal School has taught us.

Near the end of the evening he felt something in his net. Drawing it out he found, to his great astonishment, seventeen little gold fish whose •ins and tails were sprinkled with blue spots. To his further amaze- ment they began to speak: “Listen, and we shall tell .1 story we learned front a shell'' Then in turn each little fish spoke: Number one began. “There was a class in 1933 which went out from Montreat Normal School to face life and the future. The members of that class have not let life’s baffling problems overcome them. Just as Virginia Kohout was always at the right place at the right time on the basketball court in Montreal, she i now a be- loved nurse, always where she is most needed, at Johns Hopkins hospital. The second fish said: “Edna Smith has not only fathomed Einstein theory, but she has formulated another deeper one about solving matrimonial problem mathematically. ’ The third little fish was anxious for his turn to speak. “Far away in Africa on the bank- of the Congo is a cozy little cottage where ever;, day little black girls and boys go to hear the wonderful stories told bv their missionary lady , Trulah Wright.” Nell Justice,’’ the fourth fish told, “gave up the teaching pro- fession early in life to join the Robert Mantel! Company. She is internationally known as the perfect Shylock.” “Lucilc Gardner, who began her journalistic career as editor-in- chief of the Sun Dial, the fish next in line continued, “is now editor of the Sex )o h 'limes. Since she accepted this position, the circulation of the paper has been doubled. Number six had a twinkle in his eye. (How like “Bill”!) “Mildred William- ha begun an experiment to prove that it is easier to manage one man than a student Isody of girls. She has chosen a certain other Bill for the experiment.” “Annette Hester’s career as a teacher was a short one, said the eve-nth in line. She deemed it better to be a life-time companion and housekeeper for a certain L- . Their home i in Eric, Penn- sylvania.”

HISTORY OF SENIOR HIGH CLASS OF ’33 It was in September, 1931, that the good ship Frethmau, having wandered over the Sea of Learning for a year, was anchored at Mon- treat Normal on Sophomore Mill. Among the crew were quite a number of ambitious young ladies who intended to settle there. During the first year of the settlement many trials and tribulations arose, such as—the Algebraic plague and English fever. Symptoms of Ignorance appeared, but the colonists put forth a noble effort to overcome them with that famous remedy, the Hooks of Learning, but the effort was futile. After nine months of this the colonists set out for another settlement. Some liked other settlements better and forsook their comrades, but some (including Martha Thompson, Luelle Staples, Betsy Miller, Ruth Branch and Sara Knox) could not be better satisfied and returned to Montreat. This time they settled in Junior Valley and were soon joined by others, among whom were Lillie Mac Jolley, Eugenia Caldwell, and Grace Flicd- ncr. The attacks of Ignorance came less and less often as the settlers consumed larger and larger amounts of the above remedy. This year, nevertheless, was a restless one for the eight colonist', and so they roamed a little higher up the valley and chanced upon the broad and fertile Senior Plain. They found that Kdna McMillan, one lone colonist from a different settlement, had wandered here and was last on the wide plain. Gladly they took her into their number and together, with her. dug for a year in the- fields. How bountiful is the harvest of knowledge that the valiant nine have reaped!! SARA KNOX, Historian, 33.
