Before the program the girls were entertained at 1 banquet at the Gresham Hotel. On April 22, a large number of students and the faculty drove to Biltmore to visit the Biltmorc Estate there. The great mansion, which was designed on the lines of architecture of the French Renaissance and was constructed at the cost of several million dollars, brought exclamations of delight and wonder from those who saw it. Inside the mansion is a priceless collection of various types of work of art and famous articles of historical interest. Among the latter is the desk in which Napoleon’s heart was sent from St. Helena to France. A perfect scale miniature of the Biltmore House is on display in one of the rooms. The ‘Court of Palms” is a sunken circular area just off the entrance hall ami contains many palms together with various other kinds of tropical growth. The beautiful gardens and the greenhouse are south of the house. There is a swimming pool on one of the terraces and a tennis court below. The greenhouse is filled chiefly with palms. Outside of the grounds immediately around the estate the party drove through sweet-smelling forests and rolling country until the Biltmore Dairies were reached. There they were given complimentary servings of the delicious Biltmore ice cream. Same of the party visited Biltmore Forest and the Biltmorc Forest Country Club. Nothing could, however, compare with the beauty and grandeur of the estate itself. The trip left a very good impression of the sights one might see on a tour through Europe. -------------o------------- JUNIOR-SENIOR COLLEGE BANQUET On Monday night.

Habitation was scarce, and the terrible animal, man.” for which we all chattered with fright, was ne’er heard of from that day to this. We entered into the Sophomore Glade at least nine strong, but it was the survival of the fittest, and so-o-o-o some were eaten by wild beasts.— over- work and no play, wrought up nerves,” “over-wrought emo- tions, and homesickness. We fared slightly better in our Junior year. We had past 365 eons of time. All the wild beasts had been killed and put on the shelf.” We elected as our sponsor Miss Minton, who graciously put over a smashing” bazaar. We royally entertained the Senior Class at an old-fashioned banquet. Among the guests present was Dr. Anderson, who looked simply divine in an apple green bonnet with pink ribbons on it. The bazaar and banquet were the outstanding success of ’32. A neient Having lived so long in one place, our ideas had become stag- nant. So we got together, plus a new member, to think or do something. We elected for our sponsor in our ancient years Miss Watkins, who was our dear friend as well as class sponsor. She (with the aid of Miss Hoyt) helped us give The Ladies of Cranford.” which took the coveted Montreat Pulitzer prize. Also we were honored by the Senior Class with a houseparty— and did we have fun! Our whole class donned caps and gowns, had a senior table, and emerged quite medieval. Medieval Our Clan had grown so large, and so many members had been replaced by new girls that we remaining ones realized that we were in a new world. College seemed to be the name. The terrible struggles of high school were over, but alas we were sadly mistaken. We were con fronted with harder lessons, fewer classes and a general confusion, but we soon got over that and settled down to a long hard grind—term papers, essays, and short stories (I feel that 1 am going to disgress, so I must hasten on). Miss Hoyt was elected sponsor and we gave another bazaar, which was quite a success, owing to our com- petent direction and marvelous intellectual development. Modern Now I am on firmer ground. We are about thirty strong, have worked hard all year, written term papers, and set the example in general.” Wc think we have earned a rest. Our achievements for the year are—a benefit supper, which every one seemed to like and brought the clinkers into the coffers,” two plays. Benedick and Beatrice and Neighbors,” which gave us the graduation spirit. Wc feel saddened now that the time has come when we must part. We each feel for the other that she is going to make a success of her life. Here’s to you. Senior Class—present and future. Wc will meet again along life’s way. Betsy Miller. Class Historian.
