MARY JOHNSON STEPHENS Editor CATHRINE LINTON Assistant Editor ANNE BROWN Business Manager NORMA JOHNSON Art Editor . ae - , c FOREWORD To the ancient Egyptians the Lotus Flower was a symbol of wisdom. To them it was as priceless a possession as our own Lotus is to us today. We have planned that our 1948 Lotus be a reminder of all the happy days, at work and play, here at Peace. We would have it be a symbol of the wisdom which four-fold development has given us here to help us live fuller lives beyond the gates of Peace. So we give you with pride our Lotus and hope that as you look back upon the pages of this annual in future days you can feel that . . . ... every secret nature told. Of golden wisdom ' s power, Is nestled still in every fold Within the Lotus flower. a MRS. BENJAMIN R. LACY To Mrs. Benjamin R. Lacy, who, we feel sure, loves Peace as much as Peace loves her, we count it an unusual honor to be able to dedicate our nineteen hundred forty-eight Lotus. Mrs. Lacy has been associated with Peace since 1872, when her grand- father. Rev. Robert Burwell, was made president, and her father, Mr, John B. Burwell, associate president. Her family have been continuously a part of the Peace tradition, and she has watched the growth of the col- lege in every way with pride and pleasure. Hers is a life filled to overflowing with rich enthusiasms, keen intellectual pursuits, deep spiritual values; and tempering it all is a spirit of youth which is keeping her always our own delightful Mrs. Lacy. DR. W. C. PRESSLY Our tribute to Dr. Pressly. our President, bears witness to the sincerity of our appreciation of all that he has given to Peace. He is ever before us an example of the consecration and perseverance which are necessary to the building of a fine school. MISS MAY McLELLAND It will always be with unaffected esteem that we re- member IVIiss May, who has continuously devoted her best interests to the welfare of her Peace girls. Her utter candor and her ambition that our development be wholesome in every way have made her indispensable to us all. RD OF TRUSTFF K. G. Hudson, Chairman Mrs. C. C.

Dr. Pressly has now, as the crowning achievement of his career, led Peace to be accepted into the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges. It is with great pride in his accomplishments and sincere love for him personally that we pay him this tribute. FACULTY Bean, Miss Daisy Supervisor of Buildings and Grounds Burns, Miss Virginia .

A council elected by pop- ular vote meets weekly to maintain order and to ■1 promote the best interests of the student body and their school. Each student of this association takes a pledge of honor to uphold the ideals of Peace and to set an example of good citizenship. In addition to its administrative duties, the Kitty Altizer council sponsors a student-faculty tea in the early President fall and other social functions later in the year. DAY STUDENT COUNCIL The purpose of the Day Student Council is to discuss the problems of day students and to pro- mote good citizenship. The council endeavors to keep a close relation- ship between town and boarding students, and to make the day students feel an important part of school life.

The formal initiati( ng the fall the three societies together give a banquet at the Woman ' s 1 Raleigh. We enjoy a delicious meal and entertainment provided by a committee from each society. After Christmas the societies again join in giving their annual dance which is a big success. We thoroughly enjoy the large number of young men present who make breaks plenteous for everyone. It seems the intervening time and events grow dim as exams and Christmas loom before our eyes. After we have dreaded, struggled through, and survived our first college exams, we are caught up in the mad whirl of Christmas shop- ping and holiday festivities. The school is buzzing with activity and preparations for the Glee Club Concert and the Christmas pageant, which are both given before we leave for home. As we witness Peace ' s traditional Christmas program, each of us has the typical freshman enthusiasm over seeing another Peace custom for the first time. Then comes the long-awaited day of departure. For some of us it is the first trip home, while to others it is just another of the innumerable exoduses from the campus during the term. We cannot conjure out of the past each girl ' s Christmas, but we can recall the return to Peace after Christmas. The school is filled with the chattering of over a hundred girls as everyone of us relates the happenings of the past weeks. There is so much to tell and so much to be heard that Peace is long in quieting down the first night after return from Christmas holidays. At first dimly, then brightly, we see the setting for the Junior-Senior dance. At a glance it appears to be the Woman ' s Club, but no. as we look more closely, s the Carolina Hotel. Luckily nature does not send rain in order to co- Spring comes and we see all the accessories which make it so beautiful. Elec- tions also come with the spring, and so we busy ourselves with the issue of whom we want to be our next year ' s leaders. As returns come in we learn Kitty Altizer is president of the Student Council; Anne Brown, president of the Day Student Council; Marky Hubbard, president of P.S.C.A.; and Jac Adele Blackwell, presi- dent of our Senior Class. We look forward to a successful year with these capable girls. Vividly there approaches the event which celebrates the most memorable year in the history of Peace College, the seventy-flfth anniversary year 1947. The pageant is a complete history written and directed by Mrs. Claire Johnson Marley. The pantomimes are narrated by Miss Fannie Bradshaw of New York. we do nothing but concentrate upon the pageant.

We all go home to ransack our attics for some of grandmother ' s and great grand- mother ' s clothes. We canvass the neighborhoods and make a plea to the Raleigh Little Theater to help us — and surely enough we get help. Costumes pour in from everywhere, most of them representing ancient dates to us. How funny we look dressed in these clothes of yesterday! Could it possibly be that through our Comes the long-awaited night of presentation. All seating space is filled to capacity as the hushed audience anxiously awaits the beginning. We see the pageant come to life as allegorical figures set the tempo of the drama of our school ' s history. Peace, as seventy-five years have dealt with it in every phase of development, unfolds before our eyes. And at last with our fingers still crossed, with a prayer or two in our hearts, we watch its successful conclusion — a grand finale of presidents, teachers, students, and friends who have left their mark upon our Alma Mater.

For two years this colorful ceremony has been absent from the Peace College campus. The May Queen, Margaret Hubbard, and her attendants make their grand entrance. After the queen is seated on her throne and crowned Queen of May, she is entertained by songs and dances in which each member of the student body participates. The completion of the annual May Day Festival comes about with the presenta- tion of the Maypole Dance. jnficanc It n spell to a ceremony, a n commencement exer have qualified for the college.

A very efficient-lookin day to us and to inquire whetner we nave come lo visu a patient, it is not difficult to recognize the familiar face of our schoolmate Marky Hubbard. She has fulfilled her noble ambition to become a doctor. Our Lotus visions change almost too quickly, and we find ourselves in New York City, on Fifth Avenue. The bright lights are blinding, but we soon catch the excitement and glamour and move on with the crowd. A cab pulls up to the curb and stops; six charming ladies alight. We do not for a moment doubt that they are the most outstanding Powers Models. For an instant we do not recognize their familiar faces under their new sophistication, but features do not change very much even after ten years and we know they are Mary Patterson, Annie Edwards, Rebecca Wearn, Ramona Lamm, Alice Candler, and Kitty Thorpe. We walk on through the pushing crowd and soon come to an exclusive night-club. One of New York ' s millionaires and his wife are entering. The lady turns her head to look fondly at her handsome husband — she is Jean Rankin! The brilliance of the great city offers a sharp contrast to the cozy little town which now comes into view — a town which to the casual observer seems oiiiet and almost lifeless.

As we begin to wonder why the Lotus should draw us to a tennis match, we recognize one of the coaches on the side lines as Eloise Allen. It looks as though she knows how to train win As we are leaving we glimpse a very familiar face in the crowd. Upon g closer we realize it ' s the attractive model of college clothes, Marjorie Small, wno has happened to be passing through Greensboro on her way to Dallas, Texas, where she is working with the famous creators of teen-age fashions. Suddenly we find ourselves in Paris entering an art building. Looking at some of the latest paintmgs, we see the name Jerry McArthur at the bottom of one. She has become one of the world ' s best known creators of impressionistic art. The scene becomes blurred, and when it is clear again we find ourselves in New York. In order to keep posted on the latest news we buy a New York Times and much to our joy see Doris McKinney ' s name signed to the society column. After becoming one of the social leaders in New York she was the perfect choice for this position. By letting our vision float down the coast we come to Norfolk where our attention is immediately drawn to the naval base. A handsome admiral is enter- ing a cozy apartment. By following him we see his wife, Sabra Baumann, pre- paring dinner. As we visit with her she tells us about their three little gobs who can ' t wait until they too will sail the wide blue sea. Despite the fact that they keep her very busy she still visits Lucama every chance she gets. There seems to be a magnet farther south and we arrive in Maxton, N. C, on a bright morning. What a cheery white home over on a distant hill! That looks like — why it is — Irene Jones. Her prosperous husband has a dairy. The only part Irene doesn ' t like is that she has to get up at 4:00 every morning. A dense fog surrounds us and when it clears we find ourselves in Washington, D. C, at the close of the day. There are four well-groomed girls hurrying down the street. We follow theni and see them go into a large apartment building and up to the eleventh floor. Thev enter their apartment and we recognize them as Mary Etheridge, Alice Terry, Edith King and Pauline Agrimis. They are the We find the scene changing again and we are in the progressive state of Georgia. There seem to be playful voices coming from the distance, and as we approach them we see Rounelle Housworth supervising her twelve kindergarten children as they play outside. She has established this kindergarten for the children of millionaires who spend the winter on Sea Island. During the summer months she is a lady of leisure. Our vision whisks us away from the east to the west coast and we find our- selves in Hollywood, California. There are two beauticians standing by an actress. They seem to be discussing the hair style. As one turns to touch up the hair of the actress, we see that it is Ruth Holland. Then still in Hollywood on the M.G.M. lot we overhear the animated con- versation between Mr. Mayer and Mr. Goldwyn: I can ' t understand why our talent scouts have never discovered this Helen Rhodes before. Why should they wait until she is awarded the title of ' best dressed woman in America? ' Now every director in Hollywood will be clamoring for her. There are no two ways about it. We ' ve got to have her for the star in our new production! From this center of the movie colony, we move to a center of learning. The Uni- versity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Awakening to our surroundings, we are in Victory Village before a small pre-fabricated house (yes, they ' re still in use), complete with checked curtains of red and white and a red geranium in the kitchen window. As we approach the window we smell a never-to-be-forgotten aroma of bread baking. The memory of that aroma haunts us. We are impelled to peer into the pretty window, and, lo and behold, it ' s Betsy Edwards that we see. And an added surprise! With her are two other young professors ' wives— Doris Johnston and Frances Woodard comparing notes on the way to a rnan s heart—. Before they have a chance to invite us in, we are spirited away from this com- pany to South Building on the same university campus where we find another charming lady who was a leader at Peace and is now assistant Dean of Women at U N.C. We walk down the corridor soon to see her name, Miss Edith Grissom, on the second door to the left. We are allowed, as a part of our Lotus-dream, to enter her office and talk with her briefly. She informs us that she has a business appointment in Raleigh, for which she must leave immediately. We gladly accept her invitation to accompany her. . , , , , -iu On this all-too-short trip we learn with special pride that she, along with other southern deans of women, is being interviewed by the consulting board of Design a new woman ' s magazine published in Raleigh. To our utter delight, we are informed that three prominent members of the board are Charm Editor, Anne Brown, Home Counselor, Portia Butler, and Career Adviser Helen Vickers. Before we can see them in their responsible roles, we regretfully feel oursel ' being hurtled through the space of years again, and back to f ' ' Lotus found us, our Alma Mater, Peace.

Eligibility is based upon special ability in languages as well as upon general scholastic work. The club is sponsored by Miss Rachel Mc- Elroy and Miss Mary Meares Gait. ALPHA PI EPSILON Alpha Pi Epsilon, the National Honorary Secretarial So- ciety, maintains a chapter at Peace. The local chapter, which is designated as the Tau Chap- ter, was established in 1942.

PI THETA MU The members of the Pi Theta Mu society show their S ' loyalty each time they sing the well known society song — Pi Theta Mu, We pledge you our allegiance, To you we ' ll be true Through all the coming days. We stand for the best. The highest Peace can strive for. Pi Theta Mu, we sing to you always. The old members gave the new girls a pleasing impres- sion of the society during rush week, and the informal initiation was one that new Pi ' s will never forget. The formal initiation which was held in the girls ' living room stirred the heart of every member. With the cooperation of the other societies, the members of Pi Theta Mu did their best to show everyone a good time at the society banquet. The society dance was the final memorable event on their social calendar.

Rush week, which was the first activity of the year, was followed by informal initiation, after which a most im- pressive formal initiation was held in the chapel. The Rho Delta Chi did its part in making the society banquet a gay and memorable occasion, and the dance given by the three societies was one of the most important events of the school year. The members of the Rho Delta Chi can truly sing the words of the song with meaning as they — Stand up and cheer for Rho Delta Chi, Lift her praises up to the sky. Honor and loyalty we bring; With hearts sincere to you we cling, And proudly ever stand by you. Give our love and service true. To the end we ' ll follow through.
