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.

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.
