I Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1918 State of North Carolina, County of Wake city of raleigh, peace institute May 28, 1918. iji E it known unto all whom il may concern, that we, the Class of 1918, of the aforesaid Stale, County, City and College, having attained that goal — Seniorhood — for which we have been so earnestly striving during the last few years, and realizing that soon we shall go forth from this dear land of Peace, do, while we are still in possession of sound mind and memory, make, ordain, and declare this to be our last will and testament. We, the aforementioned and undersigned, the said Senior Class, on this twenty- eighth day of May, in the year of our Lord, one thousand, nine hundred and eighteen, do hereby will and bequeath the following items, to-wit: Item I. To our Little Class Mother, Miss Emma C. Bonney, we leave our deepest love and appreciation for her thoughtful kindness to us during the past four years. We extend to her, in her recent illness, our heartfelt sympathy and hope the future may bring her only happiness and joy. Item II. As a token of our sincere appreciation for her helpful and friendly advice, we leave to Miss Womble the love and respect of every member of our class. Item III. To that honored body, the Faculty, we do will and bequeath our sincere respect and esteem — and also the privilege of coming in late to breakfast every morning. Item IV. To the Junior Class we reluctantly give our place as Seniors, and with it the many (?) Senior privileges, including the privilege of chaperoning the Juniors down- town. We wish to impress upon the Class of ' 19 the great importance of dignity, and hope that they may make as fine examples to the underclassmen as we have made. Item V. To the Sophomore Class we give the solemn duty of administering the much-needed salt to the Freshmen, and beg that they will not be lax in rendering to the said Freshmen all the little services of love for which Sophomores have always been so famous. Item VI. To the Freshmen we do will and bequeath our deepest sympathy. In witness whereof, we, the members of the Senior Class of 1918, of Peace Institute, Raleigh, North Carolina, do set hereby our names and seals, this 28th day of May, 1918. Gladys Stallincs.

Ohio, November 28. 1928. Dearest Eloise: I have been so busy this fall thai I haven ' t had time to start the class letter that we resolved to write in 1928. I am sure you haven ' t forgotten our method of adding a letter to those received and sending the letters to the next Senior on the list. Well, as I said, I have been as busy as possible this winter. I thought I was busy when I was at Peace, but. oh. my, I didn ' t know what the word busy meant until I was away from there. This winter I am President of the Red Cross Society. Director of the Community Club. President of our Woman ' s Club. Manager of the Better Babies Contest. President of the Suffrage League, and on top of that I have been giving lessons in aesthetic dancing ! Oh, for the carefree days at Peace! Hastily, Sarah. (An extract from Eloise ' s lengthy epistle.) Tarboro, N. C, October 4, 1928. Dearest Sweet Seniors: Oh, girls, Tve had the most glorious time while in Chicago at the reunion of the Sigma Chi. We went to eleven banquets and fourteen dances. I have worn all my evening dresses completely out. IVe will go up to Raleigh in a week or two and renew my supply for the Christmas gayeties. Well, I really must stop and see that supper is well prepared. ou know how particular these men are about their food. I am thankful to Peace for my course in Domestic Science. Lovingly. Eloise. Peace Institute. Raleigh, N. C. Dearest Girls: Can you imagine me a faculty member of old Peace? I hate to give you the shock, but I really am the voice teacher, using Mrs. Dowell ' s same little studio. The girls think I am awfully (I should have said very ) dignified. The old ability to bluff IS standing me in good stead the same as ever. But. if you will listen. I ' ll tell you a secret. I am anticipating taking the fatal step!

And we are going on a flight across country in the aeroplane! How do you like that? ' ou must think this a very crazy letter for a teacher of Peace, but it is only old Esther of 1918 without her bluffing of 1928. Always lovingly, Esther. Pans, France, February 20, 1928. My Dear Miss Pate: Miss Wooten has asked me to write her class letter, as her time is completely taken up with the fulfillment of her engagements. She is sorry not to be able to answer the class letter herself, but at present she is extraordinarily busy on her concert tour of the European capitals. Her wonderful lyric soprano is winning the hearts of many Presidents and statesmen. This is her last engagement before sailing for America, where she will begin her annual tour of the United States. Miss Wooten sends her lo e to each one of her classmates and asks that they notify her should they be in any place in which she is scheduled to sing. ours truly, Mary Blair, Private Scciclaiv lo 1 hco Woolen, L )tic Soprano. New ' ork, December, 1928. Dear Classmates of ' 18; Can you realize that it has been ten years since we left dear old Peace? My study at Harvard was interesting, and my research work in Egypt was fascinating, but my success in higher education is due entirely to the foundation laid by our Alma Mater. At her feet do I lay the honor of my fame as a history of art scholar. I now follow the vision inspired in the little history of art room at 4:30 A.M., December 22, 1918. My latest book. The Art and Architecture of the Ancients, is lovingly dedicated to dear old Peace, our Alma Mater. ' ours sincerely, Margaret Shive. New Mexico, December, 1928. Deare.st Class of ' 18: Steve and I have been t eaching in this wonderful country for over two years. We both got tired of staying at home, so we came out here to see what it was like. We like it very well, but it ' s mighty hot, and we ' ve found out we have to work just as hard out here as we did at Peace. But it ' s real fun riding horseback. Steve said I couldn ' t ride a horse, but I can ride just as slow and just as fast as she can. Hoping soon to see you all at home. As always, Lois an3 Steve.

Dear Girls: I am in New York arranging my exhibition of pictures. You know I adopted the futurist theory. It seems rather queer that I should have been taken in by this extreme movement, when it was predicted that I should win fame through my still-life pictures. If any of our Seniors are ever in New ' ork. I wish they would send me their address so I might have them to dinner at my hotel. As ever, Maud. New Orleans, March 28, 1918. Dear Girls of ' 18: I enjoyed reading the letters that have been written, and I want to read all the letters when they have all been added. New Orleans seems mighty far from Peace sometimes. But it isn ' t so far when modern inventions travel so fast. My husband has a new aeroplane. We expect to fly to Oxford tomorrow if my tailor can patch me up a flying costume by then. With love, Cheatham. iirmi ngham, February 21, 1928. Dearest Seniors: So much has been done since we left old Peace, but nevertheless you all seem just as real and dear to me as then. ' ou know that I was in New ' ork for four years training to be a secretary of the Y. W. C. A. I thought I would take the training in order to help Papa in his work of the Y. M. C. A., but I got so interested in the Y. W. work that I have continued in it. This winter I have been made General Secretary of the Y. W. C. A. of Birmingham, while Papa is the General Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. Won ' t we have fun rivaling each other in our campaigns for money and members? He says a little scrap like me can ' t beat the record of his boys, but I ' ll show him what my girls can do. Always sincerely, Gladys.

Then, encouraged by Miss Bertha ' s air of attention, Mary ' Liza began: ' es, ma ' am, yo see it wuz dis way. Dis spring I went up dere to wurk. an ' in all my born days I ain ' t never seen sich gals as dem wuz. One atternoon it wuz just a-pourin down rain, an ' us maids wuz a-setting waitin ' fer it to quit, when Mis ' Fowler holler out: ' While yo ' all are waitin , go down an ' clean up some of dem classrooms. ' I jumped up lak I set down on a hot radiator an ' flew to git a broom. Den I sailed up de hall. I had jest got in front of one of dem classrooms, when I looks up an ' dere I seed a whole crowd of girls settin ' on de desk an ' de backs of cheers an ' aperched in de windows. Ves ' m, dey wuz all ober dat room. Miss Mary Reed Buchanan wuz standin ' ' fore de assembly an ' a-askin ' their wish about somethin ' . Well, jest here. Miss Hattie May Morrissey rose up an ' , a-clearin ' up her deep voice, she says: ' Miss President, I see it am quite necessary for ze Juniors to outshine ze Seniors on ze Easter mournin ' ; but how is ze little girls goin ' to do zat without ze flowers? ' Later, I axed Miss Claudia White if Miss Hattie May wuz a Frenchman or an Australia-man, but she ' lowed Miss Hattie May won ' t neither. She had jest got in de habit of talkin ' dat way, an ' I guess Miss Claudia ' s about right. One thing ' s certain, dem habits up at de Arnstitute sho ' ly am contagious an ' catchin ' . Den Miss Chunk Mercer arose an ' she said: ' But, ladies, how ' s we goin ' to hab flowers without somebody sends em to us? ' Miss Chunk is mighty pretty, and those black eyes of her ' n just snapped fire. Den Miss Lillian Purves. who usually don ' t say much, she got up an ' axed: ' Well, who in de world am goin ' to send em to us? ' Miss Lucille Buchanan, Miss Lillian ' s roommate, say she ' d lak to know exactly de berry same thing. Well, ' bout den, I know ' d it were time for Miss Isabelle Bowen to speak up an ' ' spress herself. So in her slow-speakin ' voice she said to Miss Louise Hunt: ' Well, Louise, can you give any suggestions to aid us on this purfound and prodiguous subject? ' Miss Louise say she had rack her sawdust pile ' til she was plum hongry. So she an ' Miss Mary Steele hopped off dere seats an ' went to git de key to the Little Store..

Den Miss Mary Medlin an Miss Jeane Smith said dey reckon dey ' ll citch de same car. Well, as dey vvuz a-leavin, teardrops walled up in Miss Helen Harrison ' s eyes an ' she moaned right pitiful-like: ' Gee! I wish I could go home right now. Oh! I want to go home! ' But Miss Julia ' l oung done brmg her back to uth when she said: ' Well, goin ' home ain ' t goin ' to bring yo ' no flowers to wear to church on Easter mawnin ' . so get dem bubbles out of your think-tank an ' git to thmkin ' . ' Right here Miss Hattie Mae laughed lak she ' s alius a-doin ' , an ' , reachin ' up, she patted Miss Julia on de back. Miss Margaret MacMillan is de smallest one in de class, an ' she don ' t look old enough to leave her mother. She looked up at Miss Florence Phillips an ' said: ' Florence, don ' t worry so. There ' s somebody, you know, who might send yo some. ' ' Well, Phil, if yo ' do git some, don ' t yo ' guess yo ' could give us one apiece? ' Den we could say we didn ' t care to wear all our flowers at once, ' said Miss Chuck, standin ' on a cheer, an ' Miss Mary Reed, wid her mouth crammed full a ' peanut butter sandwich, looked at Miss Hattie Mae, who was jumpin ' up an ' down. Den she screams: ' Let ' s all buy some an ' everybody send one to ebery other member. ' Well, sir, dey took to dis notion lak Miss Kuhn ' s table takes to hot battercakes, an ' right den and dere dey set down an ' Miss Hunt wrote fifteen letters, every one a-order- ing a bouquet of flowers from Mr. O ' Quinn. Biss Bertha, hab you eber heard tell o sich in all yo ' born days? Here Mary ' Liza paused, and with a groan drew her heavy form to its full height. Then with slow steps she wobbled, like a fat lobster, out into the open street. Mary S. Steel. Clc Junior v iass roem You Freshmen and you Sophomorei— Dear, foolish lillle Freshmen!

Yes, we were Freshmen then, and as green as you have ever seen. Our class cartoon said Fresh ; ffi p Evergreens. ' ' I ' et, somehow the stately and dignified Seniors would scowl j — _ with envy when they passed the Freshmen and their illustrious champion — the lady principal. But now that we are Sophomores, oh, my! We are only a handful of girls, yet our hopes are ever on the increase. Our motto, A pound of pluck is worth a ton of luck, has guided us through all fears. Our hope is still to keep our record high. To be and not to seem is our slogan. Our class poet well expresses our sentiments in these words : Like the daisy may we be. Full of sweet simplicity; Like our colors, gold and white. Ever pure and ever bright. With this ideal ever before us we shall be the banner class of Peace for two more years. By then, with our pound of pluck plus a ton of luck, we hope that we shall have gained an esteemed place in college and that our prodigious learning will then be the faculty ' s source of knowledge.

' Freshman Class History |UITE unique is the place of our class in Peace, for we were the first class to enter after the Ni ?,ji I declarauon of war. We think the Sophomores K2?g|S«l must have had something to do with the sign- ing of this war bill, for they have continued to wage war on us since September 12, 1917. Quite confident in our power of overcoming all obstacles, we entered the gates of dear old Peace, far more verdant than any tropical grass. We maintained this attitude for exactly four hours. Then on a huge wave was bourne in that dreadful spell of homesickness, which held us in its grasp for the first two months. Gradually we overcame this, and entered into college activities with all the enthusiasm and pep of a Freshman, so that now we scarcely realize how Peace was maintained last year without our aid. As we draw near the close of this year we look forward with fondest hopes to being Sophomores next year, and the skies seem rose colored to the Class of 1921. Lucille Belk.

It is the tie which binds the girls and faculty in closer love and relationship to Christ and to one another. Its object being to make us better morally, spiritually and intellectually and to send us forth into the world better women and more able to become Christian leaders. The war has presented new opportunities to us this year. In fact, our work has been mostly along the lines of war relief work. The Friendship War Fund was only one of several funds that the girls were asked to contribute towards. They responded gladly and liberally. Fhe Y. W. C. A. is divided into five committees. The work of each committee has Seen very successful. fhe Social Service Committee has done a great deal of charity work, such as giving ltd cluthes to a needy family, visiting the old soldiers and other dependent people. It has been customary for the ' . W. C. A. to act as Santa Claus for the little mountain children, but this year we were urged to send only a few things and only useful things. The girls vcre asked also to relieve the maids on Sunday night by volunteering to prepare the supper. At Christmas time the girls very cheerfully co-operate in giving money to the maids for llieir Christmas. The Missionary Committee has, as always, organized four mission study classes, with Members of the faculty as leaders. These have been very interesting to those taking part. I his committee also has charge of the fifty dollars which the association sends annu.iiiy for the support of a hospital cot in China. Owing to war times, the Social Committee has not done as much this year as in the dayt gone by. However, we knew, after the delightful George Washington party, that ' ihif. committee was thoroughly capable of doing great things. 1 he Devotional Committee has been faithful and successful also. This committee has charge of our regular weekly meetings and our morning watch prayer service. We have had many instructive, as well as entertaining, speakers — and these we could not have if this committee were not on the job. But our meetings would not be as interesting as they are if the Music and Publicity Committee did not help. Our . W. C. A. is progressing, for we sent two representatives to the 1917 Blue Ridge ( onference — the President and Treasurer. Aside from these things, it is through the efforts of the Y. W. C. A. that the Lillle Store is carried on. Here it is that the girls and even the faculty come every alternoon to buy candy, crackers, pickles, etc. li all these committees are as active and successful as they have been heretofore, and if the Little Store is allowed to remain in existence, we feel sure that the girls who are here now and those who are to come will be greatly benefited and their love and interest for our Y . W. C. A. will never grow cold. Julia Mitchell, Sccretan. (68) - THE LOTUS ' - — . (69) tBBUM«i««Baaii ' B«HaBcnHaai iBaasBaaBBMsaMBf IffXT reace In ihe cly o( Ralegh, at the end of a slreel.

We don ' t know his dream of what it would be, or do. But exceeded expectations, we think, to be true. It has solved ihe problem for years and years Of scores of parents, and calmed their fears; For a daughter al Peace was a joy undenied— A feeling of being perfectly satisfied.

It seemed right strange to see her lyin ' there so quiet an ' peaceable-like, with her Cousin Jessie, that she hadn ' t spoke to for ten years, a-managin ' her funeral. But lemme tell you somethin ' , she lowered her voice and leaned closer to her neighbor, Miss Jessie might ' a ' thought that, because Ole Miss Alice was dead, she could come in Miss Alice ' s house an ' take down the stuffed canary off ' n the mantelpiece an ' take down the postcard rack an ' put em out o ' sight, and that Miss Alice couldn ' t do nuthin ' to stop her, because she was alyin ' in her coffin. Bui I tell you right now. Miss Jessie ain ' t never stole a march on Miss Alice. Miss Alice got good an ' even with her, even if she was dead. What! Hadn ' t you heard? Mrs. Riggins laid down her knitting needles and took a deep breath. Well, it was this way: About two hours ' fore the funeral Miss Jessie allowed she was so tired that she believed she ' d lie down awhile. She was in the room next to the corpse, and before she had laid down she had took out her teeth an ' put ' em in a glass of water! Well, in comes Miss Hannah Johns with some flowers an ' goes over to the washstand to get some water an ' sees them teeth sort of hid behind the bowl. Then she says to herself how awful it is that they have forgot to put Miss Alice ' s teeth in. So without sayin ' nuthin ' to nobody, she fits them teeth in the corpse ' s mouth an ' fixes her flowers an ' comes on away. Well, the time come for the funeral an ' Miss Jessie was all dressed but her teeth, an ' she was mighty near crazy. Her upper lip was all sunk in, an ' she looked a sight. All the time Miss Alice was a-layin ' in her coffin ' , an ' Miss Jessie ' s teeth sort o ' made Miss Alice ' s face smile sarcastic-like. Well, two days later when Miss Hannah Johns happened to mention havin ' seen them teeth an ' puttin ' ' em in the corpse ' s mouth. Miss Jessie nearly had fits. It ' ll take her a month to get another set, an ' she says she ' ll never speak to Miss Hannah Johns again. Mrs. Riggins leaned back and took up her knitting. You may tell me dead folks don ' t know things, she observed, but I tell you right now. Miss Alice knew about them teeth an ' she got good an ' even with Miss Jessie for actin ' so biggety at her funeral. ISABELL BOWEN.

Y Own Dear Mumsie: This is my firil Sunday night here, and truly I hope it is my last. Today at dinner we were given httle tiny paper bags with two sandwiches and an apple. I thought they were to eat m the afternoon, hke we do at home, so I ate everything in that bag during Med. Tonight I ' m almost starving, and here I sit, lonely, blue, homesick, while you are eating fried chicken. Oh, write soon to your home- sick little girl. Sweet, Sweet Mumsie : You know Peace is the most wonderful place in the world! Do you remember that old blue letter I wrote you about the Sunday night supper in paper bags ? Well, tonight we had crahi — the most delicious compo.ition imaginable! Well, we sent back about five times for more, and we ate every bit they gave us, too. Well, Mumsie, to make a long story short, you ought to have seen the Hall of Fame about 12 o ' clock that night. All the girls came out in the hall and their faces were all colors of the rainbow, with green predominating. It was one sick bunch. I thought I ' d be died before morning. Gee, Mumsie, rich rations are all right for grownups and folks at home, I guess, but they don ' t work in school for Freshmen. I ' ll have a lifetime nightmare of that one night. So, Mumsie. henceforth it ' s me for Hoover! Oodles of kisses. S L- _J « [| ?THE LOTUS ffl «■ ■ «■■« B B ■ ■ K ■ D0NT5T0P! SEE OUR ADS (119) .■•■•■■■««•■ ' l: PEACE INSTITUTE RALEIGH, N.
