Returning to the ship late at night, one of the women discovered that during her absence a pearl necklace had dis- appeared from her room. Luckily there was a woman detective on board by the name of Medary. She soon solved the mystery as was expected, for Miss Medary is well known for her murder novels and mystery stories. She had also solved several baffling crimes. One rainy afternoon I spent my time in the ship's library. Here I picked up a book of poems by Phyllis Creedy. It was an excellent bit of work, and I liked it so much that the cap- tain presented it to me. Gene Quigley and I spent most of our mornings in the pool. One young married woman, a Mrs. English, whose maiden name was Betty Schlottman, was there every day to entertain us with fancy diving and swimming. A few days before we reached home, I was unfortunate enough to get a cinder in my eye and you can imagine my surprise and pleasure, when I discovered the head nurse in the infirmary to be a girl I had known at school, Bertha Alder. WWe naturally spent hours talking over our school days at Moravian. When I had finally said good-bye to everyone on the boat and had successfully maneuvered myself to my own apartment, I felt exhausted. Sitting by the window I began to read an old newspaper that had been delivered during my absence. The head lines caught my eyes nvan Vorst defeats Kitson in Junior League Elections. Van Vbrst made Presidentn -- 'Why I knew those girls years ago, and I never dreamedn -- but here my thoughts were rudely shattered Through the open window came a voice with a very English accent. It said, uThat is why, my friends, the United States has recog- nized the Russian government. I looked out the window and in the apartment next door stood K. Danneberger, that fiery orator and debator from England who was causing a sensation on her American lecture tour. This was too much. Could I never get away from celeb- rites? 'Were there no people that weren't famous? Slamming the window I began to upaok fast and furiously. M. H. Sterrett -lO-

WILL s a a Although the present Senior Class must have their names become somewhat of a memory, we do not, however, intend to take every- thing we own with us. 'We feel very generous and have, therefore, left the following things to the following people. Miss Marjorie Darling, our never tiring advisor, we leave to anyone who feels the need of an advisor, provided they take good care of her and do not mistreat her. Our noise and chatter which is con- stantly heard in the day room we leave to the on-coming Senior Class. Miss Helena would be at loss if she heard no noise issuing from the day room. It seems that Mary Jane Medary is anxious to get rid of her excess baggage, and so to Charlotte Kennedy goes the prize of 50 lbs. of flesh and bone -- and incidently her ability to tell the truth the wrong way, to June Seibert. Use it correctly June. Peggy Sterrett has decided that she has argued and exaggeratedenough so she wills these two points to Molly Paul to help Molly in the forth-coming de- bate of next year. Betty Schlottman leaves her ability to bluff to Helen Crawford, and she will explain to Helen just how to use it. Dot Davis leaves Snow Drop her walk, and a little of her conceit to Mae Pasquerrella. Can't see Dot giving it all up. Alda Kitson gives out- right her failure to be ready on time to Pearl Sisser. It seems that Ginny Van Vorst is eager to get rid of many things. She leaves her neatness and accuracy to Muriel Roberts. To Ginnie Schissler she leaves her beautiful singing voice. Be seeing you in opera Ginnie! Peg Sterrett is tired of being tall so she wills her height to Gertie Shonk. 'We don't know how Gene Quigley will get along without her giggle, but she informs us that Jane Goodwillie may have it provided she doesn't wear it out. Poor Kathleen, with a new tennis racket and all, leaves her superb tennis playing to be divided up between Miss Clemmenoy and Miss Vest. No fighting girls! Bertha leaves the place of valedictorian to anyone who has that much ambition. Pete always, because she is so small, can sneak around teachers and be out in the open and headed toward Pennyman's before anyone realizes it. This gift she leaves to Muriel Roberts and incidently she leaves her height to Molly Paul. Last but not least, Phyllis Greedy comes along and wills her good old English accent, plus her walk, to Peggy Laros. Peggy has a walk of her own, but both will help out. This will has been made and hereby signed on this 12th day of June, 1955 by us, the Members of the Senior Class. Signed, Dorothy Davis. -11-
