FimFwnmi ESSE QUAM VIDERI TO BE RATHER THAN TO SEEM To be honest and clean and new as the page in life we opened as we entered Peace, fresh and ready to serve ourselves as we honestly did our best in school work and in our associations with new-found friends. To be true as we grew together each day. Peace became our life, and we stood for truth and integrity as we worked and played with our friends, teachers, and roommates. In our social life and in our school work we were true to our ideals and goals. To be brave as we face trials and tribulations together. Alone we were brave, and together, united, we shared our troubles as well as joys and were brave enough to overcome trials and to conquer temptations. To be strong as the silent, white columns that have stood the test of time and have weathered storm and sun. Together we stand strong and proud — Strong in our belief in our Alma Mater and proud to be a part of Peace. To be loyal as we go through life. Peace has given to us out of her bountiful store, and we must be loyal to her as well as to ourselves as we constantly strive to fulfill the hopes and ambitions that she has helped to develop and to create; To be a Peace girl is to be honest, true, brave, strong, and loyal. Peace has enriched our lives socially, spiritually and scholastically, and we have given to her of our talents and arts as we tried to uphold her ideals. The girls who went before us built upon the tradition of Peace and so did we try to build as she helped us TO BE RATHER THAN TO SEEM TO BE Peace girls— honest, true, brave, strong, and loyal.

Not only has she listened patiently to our everyday trials, but she has given us wise counsel that has helped us solve out ' problems, kind encouragement that has made our way easier, and stern reprimand that has given us strength. Because she has been the true example of dignity, sincerity, and honor and because wc admire and love her, we dedicate this annual to our dean. THIIUITF MISS JULIA OATES For the past few years Miss Julia Oates has been the head of the English department and advisor to the annual staff. She has given to us much from her rich store of knowledge and has helped us feel a deeper desire for learning and a keener responsibility in life. Her excellent teaching qualities have not surpassed her love and understanding through which she has helped us realize our dreams and set high our goals. She has been our friend, and we, the Peace girls, can say with the poet that we love her not only for what she is but also for that part she brings out in us. And so we proudly and lovingly pay tribute to Miss Oates in the 1952 Lotus. EAS ' J BUILDING WHERE WE I.IYI. AND LEARN MAIN BUILD1M.

Class History Dear Diary. Now. as I sil here, leafing through vour pages, your words refresh in my memon the times when 1 wrote of the events of those brief, happv years that I spent at Peace. First, there was the day I arrived September 12. 1950. I am a little bit homesick, I con- fided to you that night alter the welcoming party. But even as I wrote. Peace ' s warm, friendly atmosphere had already begun to creep into my heart. I had met so many girls, and my roommate and I immediately found that we had much in common in our long talk about the boy. The recital and student- faculty reception ended our first busy week. As the fall days grew shorter, we no longer felt like the new girls : but our class grew closer together and closer to Peace. We elected our class officers, Wini Boggs, Anne Hunt, Peggy Grady, and Pat Lomax. We unanimously chose Mrs. Booth as our sponsor. Glowing accounts of dances here and at State filled many of your pages, dear diary. RUSH WEEK, I wrote in big letters because it was so much fun, with all those society parties. What a hard decision to make! But the beautiful initiation services strengthened our love for our choices. The banquet brought lots of good food and entertainment! Thanksgiving, 1950. We gave thanks by giving food baskets to all the maids. Then came the formal dinner that night. from Thanksgiving to Christmas was onl) a skip and a jump. We found the true meaning of Christmas in the beautiful traditional pag- eant. Hall Prayers in the parlor, the (dee Club concert, and Christmas dinner finished t hi- busy week; and for a happv bunch of Juniors, il was home for Christmas! With Januarv and February came the class stunts, followed by Peanut Week and Religious Emphasis Week. March brought with it the second quarter exams, which only temporarily dampened our spirits, because the Society Dance, Easter vacation, and the Junior-Senior Dance were soon to follow. At last, May, and the May Day exercises. I became a senior today! I wrote on Class Day. Almost before we knew it, the Bacca- laureate Sermon and Graduation Exercises were over. It was home for three months of well-earned rest for the class of 1052. My trip to the beach or mv summer job was the topic of conversation among the new and old students when we returned that fall. The beautiful P.S.C.A. Candlelight Service was the highlight of that first week end. Much to our surprise, we soon got back in the swing of school life; and we set forth, with a new and more determined effort, on this, our last year. We were ably led by Wini Boggs, Ann Tur- lington, and Betty Parsons, our officers. Once again, I wrote of the dances, of Rush Week, and Rat Day, and of Thanksgiving, They ' re wonderful, for, surely, our Senior year was the best ! My entry, Miss May has adopted another cat, made the year a more memorable one, especially to those who sometimes had to search for it— the cat ! Christmas again, and a spirit that comes only with Christmas activities at Peace. I remember how pretty the while dresses were ,n the concert, the carol sing, and then in the candle-lit room. Class stunt night, die Week oi Sharing, and Peanut Week held our attention after Christmas, along with several food bazaars! March and April wen- the flower months for us; that is, flowers for the Junior-Senior Dance and lor Easter. Civic music concerts helped fill the schedule. All loo soon, it seemed to us this time. May came, bringing with it many activities for us. 32 We were invited to teas and parties in our honor. Final examinations came and passed. Class Day, and we were pinning those green and white Class Day ribbons on the rising seniors. There was more than one misty eve. The Baccalaureate Sermon was an inspiring challenge to us to live, no matter where, as Christians. Then, red roses and white dresses — gradu- ation, the day we had awaited since we entered in 1950. Now we were through, reach to leave the long halls, the winding stairways, and the now-quiet classrooms for the new horizons that lay before us: and yet, not ready to leave all our friends and the place which had become so dear to us. But the Class of 1952 was always ready to go forward, looking backward never. And so that night 1 wrote, Dear Diarv, tonight the Class of 1952 bade its Alma Mater a loving farewell and set forth to attain those goals toward which she inspired, guided, and pre- pared us. Elizabeth Law 33 The Last Will and Testament We, The class of l ' )52, being cif simnd bodv and mind (no side remarks, girls), do hereby present this hist will and testament for the purpose ol bequesting certain qualities (valuable or otherwise) which we have acquired along the way, and conferring upon our successors the exalted position of Peace seniors, which is their true and rightful inheritance.

II itnes w WlNI BOGGS Elizabeth Law Testator Polly Sharpe 35 Volume IX Class Prophecy Voices of Peace The Class of 1952 June 1, 1962 May 26, 1952 was a glorious day for the class of 1952. After two years of study they had finally reached the goal — graduation ! Yes, it was wonderful, hut as the girls began to sav good-bye, thoughts ran through their minds — What has the future in store for us? In this issue of the Voices of Peace I want to give you an account of what the future did hold for those girls. Shirley Smith finally changed her name from Shirley Just Smith to Mrs. Buddy Edgar Miller. When Buddy got out of the army, thev built a service station, Shirley Edgar Miller ' s Place in Roanoke, Va. and are now doing a good business. Peggy Howe, Peggy Barnes and Elizabeth Law are rapidly climbing the ladder to success in the musical world, now appearing at a night spot in Norfolk, ' a. — Peggy Barnes singing, Peggy Howe dancing, and Liz Law playing the piano. The trio ' s favorite number is It gives us joy and cheer — . As owners of the First National Bank in Baltimore, Md., Nelva Lee and Margaret Corbett h ave clone well in the business world. Nancy Edwards is also in Baltimore as the private secretary to Mary Thorpe and Milly Atkins, Attorneys-at-Law. Mary does the talking and Milly the defending. Jean Sandlin, who has at last realized her ambition, owns the Shrimp Boat that takes people on tours across the Delaware. Her interest in people has paid off. Wini Boggs and Shirley Arthur, too, have really reached the top. Wini is now principal of a small grammar school in Virginia, and Shirley is Professor of Sociology at Duke University. Neither one is married yet, but they still have hope, so they say. The Betty Belle Parsons, a dress shop on Fifth Avenue in New York, is owned by our I declare Betty Parsons. She lives with Margaret Blue who is in New York, loo. She is singing at the Stork Club, and I hear that you have to be worth at least a thousand dollars a night to get to talk with Maggie. News Week reported that Mary Hardee, Gailya Smith, and Mary Jo Wright have a small art studio at the seashore. To make a little money on the side they work in a fish factors where they can and cook. Mary Lou Wygant is teaching chemistry at State College. She finally became a nurse, but a professor at State persuaded her that being a wife and mother with teaching as a hobby was more important than being a nurse. Sylvia Workman and Lillie Wise who own the Darling Shop also have homes and families — Jimmy and Max made a home run. Polly Sharpe was home recently on a short vacation. She is now appearing on the Red Skelton show on T.V. Martha Seymour is her secretary, and I hear the two of them keep full date books in the big city. I saw Dorothy Wheless ai Club Id. She and John were celebrating their ninth wedding anniversary. Thev didn ' t wait long after her graduation. Dot Norris and her husband, Howard, are at Daytona Beach on their second honeymoon. They left the twins at home with Dot ' s mother. Barbara Cain is now Mrs. Buddy Clement. She and Buddy have a grocery store 36 at Fort Brags;. Nancy Powell lin.tllv married Glenn, and they now own the Bame Hotel at Carolina Beach, where they welcome all Peace girls. Hilda Haywood is a traveling saleswoman for the Garrett ' s Snuff Company, but she hasn ' t learned to use her product yet. Joanne Jackson, who is now editor of the New York Times, recently wrote an article about Jane Wen- sil. Jane, who is Ambassador to Ecuador, has just returned from there with her husband, Lee, who is an engineer in that country. Betsv Santelmann and Anne Stallings are working in Washington, D. G, for the K.B.I. They now are doing detailed assignments in France where they recently saw Betsy Jane Tanner who is in Paris modeling — she tops all the French girls, they say. Olene Pleasants and Sybil Williams are vacationing from their jobs as mothers at the Whitfield Williams Hotel in Florida, owned by two old Peace Girls, Phvllis Whitfield and Rebecca Williams. Isora Peiia and Margaret Brock were there several weeks ago. Isora is singing with the Metropolitan Opera and Margaret is her secretary. Ann Rowan and Nancy Clarke are working in Raleigh. They have a one-room apartment on Halifax Street. Nancy is working at Halifax Street Grocery Store as head cashier and is still waiting for Jordan to finish school. Rowan has a regular job at Walgreen ' s and a regular fellow, too. She has made the last pavment on her diamond and plans to be married as soon as Tom asks her. Some of the girls liked Peace so much that they are still here. Frankie Waters has taken Mrs. Davis ' place as nurse, and Anne Tur- lington is following in Miss Bean ' s fingersteps. They are keeping things lively and always welcome friends from the class of 1952. As for yours truly — I, too, like the dear old Alma Mater so well that I have made it my home. As dean I have ceased publishing The Bulletin and am now writing all the news in the ] ' oices of Pence. Catherine Rhodes Class Poem Our years at Peace have ended The good-byes are near at hand It seems like only yesterday That college life began. But to each of us the years remain As a highlight of our life We feel these years have made it plain. That the Door of Opportunity is bright.
