Movtrfat College THE SUN DIAI SENIOR COLLEGE CLASS PROPHESY . .This morning when 1 awoke, naturally my first thought was that of my mail. I dressed myself lazily and strolled out on the front porch. Imagine my disappointment when I saw only a small paper peeping above the top of the mail box. 1 thrusi my hand into the bottom of the box, but with no better results. 1 was about to lay the little paper aside—thinking it was only an advertisement—when these words caught my eye: The Sun Dial, Published by the Students of Montreat College. May. 1945. ’ 1 could hardly realize that ten years had passed since the Montreat College Senior Class of 1935 had marched down the long isle of the Anderson Auditorium to receive their 1 much cherished diplomas. We were happy—very happy in sense; but on the other hand our hearts were filled with sad- ness—sadness with the thought of leaving our dear Alma Mater and all our friends whom we loved and who loved and understood us. While 1 was thinking those things, and wondering what each of my classmates was doing. 1 was slowly turning the pages of the Sun Dial—now a much larger paper than our little one had been. Suddenly my attention was called to the Alumnae Column. I glanced hastily down the pages, recog- nizing many names, and found to my great delight that the column was entirely used, this month, for the Senior College Class of 35—a report having been gathered from various sources by one of the members of that class. The report was as follows: Ruth Branch, graduate of St. Luke's Hospital in Rich- mond, Va., is making a great success as head nurse at that institution. Charlotte Browder, who finished college at .Belhaven, Jackson, Miss, is now a dress model for a very exclusive shop in Gay Paris. Katherine Bird has given up her idea of being a school teacher ami is now a very successful home demonstration agent in Atlanta, Ga. Martha Marion Carroll is finding much happiness in gracing the manse of Winnsboro, S. C.—as its mistress. Ruby Cross has left us all and gone abroad. She is studying French under a very noted professor in Pans. Sara Dcndy has at last reached the height of her ambition and has gone into the Foreign Fields with much enthusiasm. “Annie Lou Dill, who completed her Home Economics course at L. T., is a very efficient dietitian there. Jennie Du Bose's dream, too, has come true. She is a very happy little mistress of the great ranch-—way out in Montana! “Gladys Dodd, with her usual understanding of little chil- dren, is making a wonderful success at writing Bible stories for the Little Ones. Doris Franklin has left the States and returned to Ger- many—there she is becoming quite famous with her singing in Berlin. “Ada Free has finished college and is now increasing her education with a tour around the world—is she lucky? A poetess has come out of the Senior Class of '35. Anna Hastings has recently published her first book of poems. Anna Holt, who has been studying advanced Home Eco- nomics. is rapidly becoming a noted interior decorator in New York City. “Grecnacrc School in Greenville, S. C., found a valuable Superintendent—when Lilly Mae Jolly was recently elected head official.. Merle Kinningham has reached an attainment worthy of note. She i accompanying Lawrence Tibbet! Page Three Sally Knox. too. has become quite famous. She is an illustrator for unique fashion departments. “Sara Scott Lee’s house is littered with silver cups. She is the champion tennis player of the South. “Edna McMillan has certainly taken a step—imagine being a mathematics professor at Duke University. “Betsy Miller was not merely day dreaming when she used to say that she was going to be a technician. She now holds that position at Johns Hopkins. “Mr. and Mrs (Lanie Miller) Prince have recently cele- brated their 10th wedding anniversary to which the faculty of (). R. M. I. was invited. “News comes to us from Washington. D. C., that Miss Pauline Ribciin is making a great success as private secretary to one of the President’s cabinet members. “Laura Sherard has found her life work in the field of medi- cine. She is a very efficient nurse for an old invalid millionaire lady. “Anne Sherrill is doing exceptionally well in her work with the little tots—like herself. She is superintendent of a largi- day nursery in Charlotte, N. C. “One of our classmates has entered the athletic field. Inez (“Tuck”) Tucker finds the position of athletic director of Maryville College very interesting. Remember when Helen Turner used to be business man- ager of the Sun Dial Well, she has gone quite a step farther— she now holds that position with The Was hint ton Star. Shirley Turner has won for herself the love of hundreds of little boys. For several years she has been house matron in the Darlington School for Boys—even Sam would:.'t be a problem now, says Shirley. Another of the members has gone into the newspaper world, Myrtle Wallace is a journalist instead of a business manager. “Mary Louise Wicker's hopes have been realized. She is doing wonderful work as a missionary in dark Africa. Irene Wright, with her usual pleasing personality, has won much distinction as a social service worker. Grace Fliedner, Class Prophet. ---------------o--------------- LAST WILL AND I . STAMEN !’ OF 1111.
