Moxtreat College Page Eleven THE SUN I) I A L SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL PROPHECY It was just yesterday that I was in Johns Hopkins Hospital, waiting to see Dr. F. II. Davis, eye. nose and throat specialist. I was quite worried about myself. For the past week my voice had been prone to crack every time I got excited. This was a very serious matter, since 1 am to make my debut tomorrow night at the Metropolitan Opera House. Well! When I saw Dukie’’ in that long, white robe, my voice didn't crack; it went plum hay-wire”! My roommate, a doctor! I remember how she used to practice on our turtle. Doctor “Dukie. indeed! After all the ahs and exclamations were over, we found out a few things about our former classmates. It has been exactly ten years ago today since we grabbed our sheepskins and made our get away. Jane Neel and Marlisc Torrance are together in New York. Jane is a physical education director at Columbia University. She specializes in tap dancing, and with that wind blown bob— she's a wow! Marlisc is teaching French in the big McElroy Institute. Furthermore, she still writes to Gene. Dr. Davis said she dined with Bettic Kiser last night. Bettic. accompanied by Miss Watkins, has just returned from Europe. They have been visiting the birthplace of all the English au- thors for the past three months. Here's hoping Bettie gets her promised credits. While we were reminiscing. Virginia Lambert came in. «Lag- ging her three red-headed boys. They had whooping cough and were all barking at the same time. It reminded me of the con- certs Mary Williams used to give after light bell. Virginia had just received a letter from Connie Perry. She has been shooting big game in Africa—you know, she always was adventurous, but I never expected such huge things of her. As for Annette Baker, she teaches music in Montreat Col- lege. Little Billy comes to see her. and much to Mrs. Riley’s joy there is someone to make use of the teacher’s sitting-room. “Sailing, sailing, over the bounding main” . . . This could apply to only one person. Mary Frazier says if it isn’t one port it’s another! At the present she is in Shanghai. Last, but not least, comes Mary Alice Lewallen, “our” lawyer. There are rumors that she will run for President in '46. Now. Lewallen. when you start rolling Easter eggs on the White House lawn, don’t forget your ol‘ class mates of '35. By the way, don’t forget that tin's is the year for the dear old Montreat reunion. Ix-t’s go back and prove to Miss Spencer that it can be done!” Nancy Fontaine.

Our pilot said, Contact! and off we Hew. We went through clouds of trouble and distress, but every cloud has a silver lining. When we took off the second time, Virginia Lambert and Mary Frazier were listed among the passengers. Miss Smith our sponsor, piloted us through our busy Soph” year; never- theless. we had time for parties, picnics and hikes. At our third landing, Connie Perry. Jane Neel. Mary Alice Lewallen, Annette Baker and Nancy Fortainc got on. And we. the Jolly Juniors,” had a grand time. Every Monday morning we had our troubles, but they were soon forgotten when we had our Junior-Senior theatre party. As we neared our destination. Frances Davis and Marlisc Torrance came to join us in our Senior days. Our class presi- dent. Jane Neel, took us on a breakfast picnic at the Gate. And were those pigs” goo«l! Miss McElroy. our sponsor, entertained us at tea. What happened the 6th of March? - - - we got our Senior privileges. One of these took effect in April when we lonne«l imitation caps, marched into the dining room, aiul were seated at our Senior table. The Juniors de- lightfully entertained us with a theatre party in Asheville. Last, but not least, we gave our Senior play. After Hying in good and bail weather for four years, we reached our goal—a basket full of diplomas. With them tucked safely under our arms we took our farewell . . . But the nemories of thee will ever remain while we think of each dea hallowed scene.” And so - - Class of ’35. Fly High! and Happy Landings!” Betty Kiser. Historian. -------------o-------------- LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL CLASS We the Seniors of ’35 Of sound mind though scarce alive. Our bones unbroken in spite of gym. Full of pep, vigor, and vim— Bequeath to those in the lower class Our fond memories of all that’s past— Apple cores around the ledges, Pieces of paper thrown in the hedges— Noise in the halls is absolutely forbidden. A word of warning. Juniors wise. When the lake-side class you sec— Have your hose above your knee. Else from English class you’ll rise— Then to the office, where you’ll find A new demerit has been signed Wc also beg you to keep in mind The dignity we leave behind. And for our witnesses wc call Freckles and Thomas, losephine’s Cat— They’re all— I. Annette, to Childress leave my hope chest—which I’m sure’s the best of all the rest. I. Mary Alice. lo bequeath to Louise my swift running feet so that she. too. may get to English class on time and not in- crease her tardiness crime.
