PING intlate yf There’s a room full of girls gabbing, drinking cokes, and watching television — where else but at Barbara’s house, having one of those ever-popular pajama parties. “Gee, but it’s getting late! Almost midnight! That literature test really beat me today. That TV screen is beginning to float round and round and round . . . Oh! a new program. It seems another big restaurant is being opened by that famous restaurant owner, Gene Doub, and the grand opening is being televised. There’s Gene now, all decked out in white tie and tails. Boy! this place really makes Staley’s look like a dump! Shh, the program’s starting.” . . Well, Gene’s saying something, but | can’t understand a word. | knew he should have quit that silly way of speaking; now he can’t talk any other way. There’s a nice looking man over at the front table. It’s Bob Allen, the millionaire horseman! Who would have thought he’d make all those millions messing with those old horses. Get a load of that good looking dish with him, it’s Babs Blakley, the famous Towers model! Over there at that corner table — those two young ladies in uniform. Gene’s going over to talk to them now. This I’ve got to hear. “| tan't beweve my eyeths! Ith’s Ann Nick and Mickey, isthn’t it?” “Yep, Gene, sure is.” “Well, | sthee you two are Uncle Stham’s wittle girlsth now — and you are sthmaller than the lasth time | sthaw you! much do you weigh now, Ann?” “One hundred and twenty-five, without my glasses, Gene.” Gosh! if that’s Annette and me sitting over there eating chocolate nut sundaes and overhanging our chairs, | think maybe we'd better join the WAF. | see Ginger, Betty, and Carolyn are here together. They must have left their husbands at home to baby sit. Well, look who's serving refreshments for Gene’s big opening! Peggy Doub! She always was a good waitress at our chicken pie suppers. | see Buddy and Kyle, the big time comedians, are going to entertain with a few of their gags. We've probably heard them ages ago, so won’t stop to listen. Elizabeth, Ann, and Evelyn certainly are smart and they got their wonderful secretarial jobs in Wash- ington. So Vallie is now happily married. I’m so glad, that was her one ambition way back in 1952. Whoops! something just happened. It’s poor Larry Sharpe — he fell backward in his chair, but | see that Dr. Eleanor Sigmon has gone to the rescue and everything is going to be all right. | thought Larry would have learned better than to lean back so far in his chair after all those falls in bookkeeping. | see Charlie Sapp made it to the grand opening, even if he is a hard working ole married man. He’s talking to the well-known Professor Edward Nicholson of Duke University. Jack Medlin, the prominent produce dealer, is talking football with the All-American football player, Grady Clifton. | guess Jack has given up playing football since his business became so successful. He also looks like he might have been eating a little produce himself. | see Bob Brewer and Doug Crater have their noses together talking. Heaven only knows what those two are gabbing about! Those two handsome ladies who just came in are Joanne Dull and Dotty Phillips. | hear Joanne is Director of Religious Education at Mount Tabor now, and Dotty is Dean of Women at Wake Forest College. | must be going batty, it seems | keep hearing somebody singing “O Promise Me”. It’s a lovely voice — sounds like the opera star, Loritta Neeam (when | went to school with her, she was just plain old Lorena Needham). | believe Gene is getting ready to close, but all | can understand is that we’re all welcome at Doub Inn anytime. Yipes, I’m freezing! | should have known better than to be the first one asleep at a pajama party. | guess I‘ll suffer the consequences (cold water), and stand by the fire all night to dry. So long, now! FAYE WOLFF, Prophet

ARTICLE | Section 1] To the faculty we leave, from the bottom of our hearts, our undying admiration and gratitude for the patience and understanding which they always seemed to have, even when our antics tried them to the utmost. Section 2 To the juniors we bequeath our beloved room, and the robes which we hope they can use to the best advantage. To the sophomores we leave our themes and our summaries of Macbeth, with the hope that they use them carefully so that in their turn they may pass them on to their successors. To the freshmen we leave the many good times we had. ARTICLE II Section 1 — Individual Bequests 1. Kyle Fulk leaves his keen wit and his fertile imagination to Roger Arrington.

Ann Nicholson leaves to Shirley Comer her spelling book. (It has all the definitions in it, Shirley.) 26. Vallie Shore wills her happy grin to Carolyn Riddle. 27. Betty Spainhour leaves her poems which she wrote in English class to David Jenkins. (These will be handy, David.)
