Fair Palmer, thy children with fervor still sing Thy praises o'er mountain and leag Thy light into darkness forever shall shine While the race pays its homage to thee: Each year as we come, new trophies we bring, At thy feet we will gladly lay down 'Til the stars in the heavens, each glittering gem Lend glory to bedeck thy crown. The Class of 1956 is proud of its he ritag e and learns from our Founder- President Emerita that Mrs. Charles Confelt, formerly of New York City, was one of the early friends of th e schoo1,and an associate of Mrs. Osburn W. Bright of New York City, co-founder of our school. The class wishes to pay tribute also to Mr. Robert G. Stone of Dedham, Mass- achusetts, a trustee of the institution, and to Mrs. Barbara Stone Chase of Canton, Massachusetts, whose continuing interest through the years has added much to the growth of this school.

The work was not easy, there was much to learn, But we all strived together, each taking his turn. At Palmer again we were found the next year, Greeting our teachers and friends so dear. Now we were adjusted to boarding school life, So we tackled each task, forgetting all strife. By our Junior year we were well on our way, To becoming good leaders of the future day. Our teachers were patient and always near, So we triumphed as Juniors, facing next year. At last the task that we'd begun, Is nearly finished, if not done. Students and teachers though we must part, We'll keep you ever in each heart. To our dear Dr. Brown and Miss C1-osson too, May God bless and keep both of you. We hate to leave though we know we must, But we'1l strive to make you proud of us.

And we will ne'er forget, Though we be far, far, away. ln the sacred halls of Palmer, All our voices bid farewell. And shimmer off in twilight, Like the old vesper bell. Chorus: One day a hush will fall, The footsteps of us all, Will echo down the hall, and disappear. But as we sadly start, our journeys far A part of every heart will linger here. In the sacred halls of Palmer, Where we've lived and learned to know. That through the years we'll see you, In the sweet after glow.

Deafsarbafa, CLASS PROPHECY 0 Do forgive me for being so terribly negligent in my correspondence. Believe me, it was not intentional. For the past six months I have practically covered the globe searching for cover girls to use in my new magazine, Beautes Foncees fDark Beautiesl. It can be sucha problem. I'll never know why I went into journalism. My traveling, however, was advantageous. I saw so many members of our high school graduating class. Why the very plane that took me from New York to California was piloted by our old friend, Thomas LeSueur. The hostess, Fredericka Kemp, still maintains her smooth, quiet manner. After arriving in California, I jumped into a slow moving cab,and hurriedly di- rected him to the Cochran Modeling Agency. When I arrived at my destination, the cab driver turned out to be the manager of the company, Gene Fentress, who was on his way home to din- ner. Lillian was looking good and informed me that she designs and makes all the clothes for her models. I was able to obtain two models from her. Jane Hughes is her very efficient sec- retary. On my journey back across the States, I had a 30 minute lay over in Reno. There I saw charming and vivacious Joyce Styles, literally draped in mink, rushing back to Hollywood. Said Joyce, Rex, l've just gotten rid of Sammy. His 'Old Black Magic' is too much for me. Wish- ing Joyce luck, I boarded my plane, 13,1-rived inF101-ida at about 10300 A,M, only to find that Mary Hillyer had been called to Chicago for a Social Workers Conference. I did see pharmacist John Vaughan, and his assistant, Lottie Schumpert, who were taking a two week vacation on Miami Beach. Lottie was telling me that she read in the Medical Journal that Yvonne Wray had finally found the cure for cancer. Traveling on up the Eastern Seaboard, I found Ethel Jean Riggsbee was still in Chapel Hill but this time as head of the elementary department in her school. It was Health Week and she was busy sending the children to the jolly clinic doctor, James Jones. I picked up the local newspaper and I saw several familiar faces. Thomas Motley, Samuel Lee, Luvenia Shipman, and Walter Manigault were photographed while attending the National Morticians' Convention in Death Valley. My next stop was Philadelphia. Claudette Johnson is a successful dentist and John Saunders is a very competent lawyer. He is busy preparing his defense for Dr. Thaddeus Moore, who is being sued by wealthy society matron, Victorine Hinson Thomas. It seems that when she went to him for dental work, he pulled the wrong tooth. The prominent lawyer, Cora Collins, has come all the way from Oklahoma to plead Victorine's case. The case is to be tried in Superior Court, over which Judge Randolph Wallace is presiding. A day later in New York, I met a host of friends at a party given by Peter Chisolm,and Eva Collins in their beautiful dance pavilion. When I complimented them on the originality of the interior decoration, I was not surprised to learn that it was the work of Interior Decorator, Hope Gray. Also at the party were Carolyn DeWitt, who is International Director of Speech Therapy Schools, Joyce Thomas, who has a school of dance, Michael Ireland, who is Athletic Director at Michigan State, and Richard Clark, who is a doctor, and judges beauty contests as a hobby. The guest for the night was Myrna Pai-sons,who really has Sarah Vaughan fighting to keep top place. Two days after the party, I sailed on the Queen Mary for Paris. The ship's nurse was the very friendly Maude Anderson. She was quit e exc it ed, because just two months ago the Globe Trotters had been passengers on the ship. She was more than pleased when she met John Scarborough, who was recently made a member of the team. Monday morning found me safely in Paris . I was met at the dock by Monsieur James Hodges. He is one of the leading tailors in France. Did you know Jean Strayhorn is in Paris ? Her work in commercial art is superior to any I've seen. I'm trying to persuade her to do the art work for my magazine. Four days later, I was in Italy, where I found the perfect girl for my September cover. She took me to the opera and I received a great thrill. The leading roles were sung by Sylvia Greene and Anderson Ellison. My time was running short, so I flew back across to Bermuda and stayed at the beautiful home for tourists owned by Gladys Talbot. The models there have such smooth complexions. I stopped over in Mexico for two days. By now I had decided that almost anything could happen, and sure enough there was Sylvia Lash teaching the American way of good homemaking to the Mexican children. With exactly a week left, I rushed back to the States. My first stop was Tuskeegee, Alaba- ma. There I found Ann Mahone, successful in the role of a dentist and mother of five. By the way, how do you like the life of a doctor? If you open any more clinics, you'll have to add states to the Union to hold them. I am very pleased over your success. Seemingly l've covered everyone, and l'm afraid I've talked too long. Do write soon, Barbara, and don't forget to purchase several copies of this month's issue of Beautes Fonceesf' Love, Loretta 2' CANARY COTTAGE Canary Cottage, landmark of Pa lm e r Memorial Institute, the home of our founder and President Emerita, Doctor Charlotte Hawkins Brown, CAMPUS SCENES . , Y , : 6'1 JA'-Gt' -' .'.

Even though the boys didn't we win each game, never once did they resort to dishonest practices. ye Randolph Wallace, as captain, M, helped to keep the morale of the Gi players at its highest, thus helping fe, to spur them on to victory.

It is encouraged most of all by our President, Miss Crosson, who was once a star of the Hardwood. From early autumn until late spring the gymnasium resounds with the bouncing of a bas- ketball. This is the one sport that is played all the year. The Palmer Pirates CBasketball teaml are famous throughout North Carolina, as a conscientious team, coached by a conscien- tious man. The Pirates this year have been playing creditable basketball, although the record of the season, thus far stands with five wins and four losses. The eight new members on the squad this year are earnestly learning the new plays, so that next year, and in the years to come they may carry on this noble tradition. The roster is as follows: First Five Number Position Peter Chisolm 7 Guard Samuel Lee 9 Forward Thomas Motley 4 Guard John Scarborough 16 Guard Randolph Wallace 14 Center Second Five Mike Ireland 15 Forward Russell Waites ll Center John Saunders 3 Center Alexander Hayes 8 Forward William Hill 6 Guard Third Five Benjamin Garland 13 Forward Anderson Ellison 17 Guard Alan Alsup 12. Forward Bernard Reese 10 Forward Delphio Smith 5 Guard The graduating members of the basketball team say to all of you, Of course we have some indispensable players like Wallace, Scarborough, Lee, Motley, and Chisolm. They really hold the team together with their fair play and sportsmanship, yet they aren't the real backbone. The real backbone is a man who loses when the team loses,and wins when the team wins,works faithfully, and often times singlehandedly holds the team up. He is our coach, Mr. Bundridge, a man who always has the respect of his players. May you and your coach go on to win many, if not all the games.
