For music is an important part of the life of our school. From the first day that we enteied her doors, there has been music in our lives at Peace. The chapel is filled with echoes of voices of all Peace girls singing praises — with echoes of organ strains and Peace girls marching in reces- sional — with echoes of piano recitals, hesitant tunes or com- positions extended in true art — with echoes of song, of organ, of piano — with girls singing — with nuisic. This year the Lotus offers a picture of life at Peace with music as its Itackground — a reminder that music is happi- ness and that music is a memory of Peace. PEACE DEDICATION As we considered tlie theme lor our aniuuil tliis year, strains of soft niiisir seemed to sinj; in the background. Music at Peace College has heen. for generations of Peace Girls, personified in the blithe little lady who Iripiied with light step through the halls and into their hearts. And so the nnisical overtones, meaningfid ami persistent, prompted iis to the dedication of mir ammal. Because of our love and admiration for her and because of her love for music, which has become the theme of her life, we dedicate the Lotus of 1953 to our dear Miss Lovie — MISS LOVIE JONES ] Iiss Mary Kirkpatrick TRIBUTE Every LoTl s inililislicil at Peace lor the past 26 years is a cuiu-rete tiilnite to Miss Mary Kirk|)atiitk. who, through her imilying interest, faitliful service, and iiiitiriug effort, has eneoiirageil t .o e who hict;ed iaith in their project, reprimanded those who were given to sloth, and prodded those who would have jjeen procrastinators. Miss Kirk, as we affectionatelv call hei, through her graciousness in helping with the advising of the annual this vear. as she lias done for so nianv vears hefore. has endeaied herself to all who have worked with her: and her faithfulness in seeking advertisements, has made us proud of a job well-done. It is with a true feeling of gratitude to our business advisor that we pay special tribute to Miss Mary Kirkpatrick in our Lotus of 1953. rs. ■■: ADMINISTRATION DR. W. C.

As I looked to see whom Peggy Myers, niv pilot, was saluting this time, I saw two of our class- mates — El Nadal and Barbara Norris. They were en route to Canterhurv. This brought u]) the sid)ject of old school davs as Peggy said, I remeniljer the fust time I saw El; it was at the hall party that first night. The whole day had been filled with register- ing, buying books, unpacking, and meeting everyone. But that night we began to feel our honiesiikness and the fellowship of the party surely did help. ' T remeiuber. I answered, and the next day when the old girls came, we got to know them at the P. S. C. A. campus party. We selected Miss Golden as our Class Sponsor, and Raye King as our President. The biggest event of those first months to me, said Peggy, was Piiish Week. It was the one incident to make us feel important: and after weeks of debating over which society to join, we fniallv jiledged. And then. Rat Day — the longest day of the year! ' aking up at dawn, our day had been a mixture of crawling i|) ste])s. counting the holes in the tennis net, wash- ing clothes, making beds, and being the lowest type of slave. But our spirits were lifted with the beautiful formal invitations. We were Rats no longer! Our Society Ban(|uet was most exciting. To this day I lemember that luscious food. And do you remember, Peggy said, that year Peace bad her first visitation week ends? We co-operated with Dr Pres- sly and the student council bv writing fiiendly letters of invitation to high school students. We went all out — from wiener roasts on the back campus to dances on Saturday nights. Yes. it was loads of fun. The whole year seemed so amazing to us. We didn ' t know what Peace would pull out of its pocket next. Al Thanksgiving, the P. S. C. A. gave baskets of food to a beloved part of our Peace family, the faithful maids on llie hall an l in the laundry, and Irene and Maliel, who brought us those longed-for telephone calls. We felt more grateful as we ale oui delicious dirmer on Thanks- giving eveniim. Pe- ropped as she said. Our first college exams followed! But thi-y passed quickly. Peggy, and we soon began singing. Two more weeks till vacation! Many of us had the privi- lege of being in the traditional Christmas Pageant and others participated in the Christmas Cantata. At Christmas Dinner that night we ate. sang, and looked forward to two weeks at home. ' Didn t the rest of the year fly? Spring Holidays ran right into our Junior-Senior, which we felt was a great success. The warmer weather brought May Dav. It was about this time. Peggy, we elected you as president of our Student Body and 29 Rave King to lead our class again the coming year. We watched the seniors graduate and I wondered liow ihev felt, didn ' t von? It was a sad lint jovous occasion. I answered, and it wasn ' t long before we were trying to fdl tlieii- shoes! No. tliose three months of vacation seemed like three days. But somehow com- ing hack to Peace as a senior was (|uite difTerent from coming tor the first time as a freshman. We were glad to see our friends and we liad never known such privileges. We were now Seniors! Wasn ' t it the mo l Inn ru hing the new girls? Yet, the whole time, hack deep in our minds, we were sclieming for even mcanci- and more lionihle consequences for ihcm on Hal Day. Peggy remarked ahoni oui fme Society Banquet, which was liy no means a let down that year, and quickly reminded me, And we witnessed Peace ' s first Thanksgiving week-end holidavs — four davs! We came hack to exams though, re- nicni tor ' Yes, hut then came the Christmas events with almost three glorious weeks at home! When we returned, we had three visita- tion week ends, stunt night, and exams. These passed the tinie until Spring Holi- days. And how ahout our Junior-Senior? Wasn ' t il pcifect! answered Peggy. The Juniois were grand to us. and we had a wonderful time! We weie so proud of our May Court that year. Barbara Wheeler was selected as our May Queen and Lynda Wilson, Maid of Honor. All too soon, we selected our graduation invitations, bought our white dresses and began practicing ( lass Day, Peggy re- called. Yes, and closed those two wonderful years with the Peace graduation exercise. Tears filled our eyes. We were proud to graduate from Peace and in our hearts this day we still keep memories of our Presi- dent, Dean, Teachers, and the many friends we made in the days which were the hap- piest of our lives.

My first visit was to England. Wliile I was in London. I happened to top i)V the Tahard Inn — and theie was Barhara Norris leading tours to Cajiterliiiry. Well, she always did say that she was going to work in Europe. I decided to sign up for one of Harhara ' s tours i)ecause we had a lot of talking to catih up on. One of the lir l things Barl)ara asked nie was if 1 had seen Adelaide Clark. At the time. Adelaide was over in tlie Swiss Alps teaching some of the natives to sing She ' ll Be doming Round tite Mountain. I asked Barhaia if am of llie other girls that we were in school witli were ahioad. She said that Joyce Wallace and Janet Stephenson had just returned to the States from Paris where they had been studying the Can-Can. Thev ' re teaching it at the Alma Mater now. Also Lynda Wilson was in Paris — par- don, si ' l reus pliiit. Mine. Lvnda Wilson. She is in charge of design this year at the Folies Berger. Frances Ager was expected to arrive soon. Her thoroughbreds had made mil- lions at Louisville and now she was going to try for a few pounds at Churchill Downs. Just then a dealening roar shook ns and as we looked up there was a flving saucer. No, that wasn ' t a man from Mais in it — it was— Peggy Myers. Well, of course, I ' d heard that she was running the Myers Transport Service advertising 4,5 minute non-sto|i flights from New York to London, liut I ' d never expected this. As Peggy leaned out to wave to us, someone else joined her. It was Liliby Bruin. We later learned that Libby was on her wav to Madrid to make Spanish records of Just My Bill. Barbara said that surely I had news of some of the girls — so I began. Doris Crawford is miming the baseball concession at the State Fair. That ' s the one where yon throw baseballs at some Guy ' s head. Sikes Blanlon has invented a ladio clock that instead of waking yon up to music wakes you up with the aroma of coffee and provides a cup for von 20 minutes later when you get up. Ann Parker has been elected to one of the highest executive jobs at Peace She has complete and absolute charge of the Laundry Lists. Charlotte Howe is working at Peace, loo. She divides her time be- tween helping Rosa in the laundry and her job as assistant to Miss Hall. Kay Rvals is playing first typewriter with the Boston Pops Orchestra this year. Barbara Wheeler is taking good care of the future Dr. Harris. She ' s cooking over at the Sigma Nu house at Chapel Hill. 32 Rave King is professor of inatlieiiuitics at Kiihns College. Sally Wilson wears a true angelic smile now cause at last she ' s Mrs Kin. Some of the girls have done real well for themselves in the ' hook-making hnsi- ness. Betsy Fort is in the Annual I ' ulilish- ing Business. She ' s with Edwards Broughton Fort. Joan Hester is Assistant to Under-Assistant ' s Assistant for Di. Ein- stein ' s Assistant. They are under contract to the State of North Carolina to compile and edit a new algeljra l)ook. Mickey Hal- stead and Page Beale are writing a new- history hook to include the ' Annette Pur- chase — that ' s the new name lor the Apjia- lachian Mountains. Annette Agee simply had to have more land to raise more apples on. To take care of the demand, the A P Stores are expanding facilities — that ' s th ' Agee Patton Stores, of course. Helen still hasn ' t decided whether or not to open the store ever) day after lunch. Eleanor Moose is handling all dates lietweeu Peace Girls and State hoys. She ' s Secretary to the Chancellor over at State. Muriel Weldon spends most of her time surveying her tobacco ]ilantation in Daddx s Buick, except for a little time that she fnuls to spend with Hnhliy. Don Price. Haynes never got a I ' ar to take Marv Hope I ' hillips riding in, but I hear that they reallv enjoy their helico|iter. Susan Cork is (]hoir Director at Marshall (College. She ' s trying to make enough money to keep Bill in school so that one day he can keep all the little Bills in school. Business in the Men ' s Department of Hudson-Beik has reallv ]iicked up. P arl)ara Heddingfield is manager now. Jean Sandliu was Mrs. Revelle while we were at school. She ' s still happilv married f(n ' 12 good reasons. Barbara and I had just about caught up on conyersatiou and were approaching the outskirts of (Canterbury when we heard a familiar voice shouting, Peanuts, popcorn, ice cold tea, hot roasted crumpets. and there was Fannette Gore. The three of us sat down and began to talk. Barbara and I reallv had a lot to tell Fannette and we kept thinking that she would think of some- lliina to say to us. Texas or Oklahoma, vou can probably locate me picking up a few more thousand at one of ni oil wells. As ever.

She is also a meiii- her of the Pi Tlieta Mii Societv and has attained Scholastic Honors for two successive years. Her winning smile and vivacious personalitv will long he renieinhered hy her class- mates. The fact that Betsv is a Day Student does not lumdicap her campus activities, hecause she is the first to arrive in the morning and last to leave in the afternoon. Betsy is the perfect example of personality and intelligence; there is no donht jjut that her future will he filled with success. ELIZABETH BRUIN She is known to Peace girls as Lihhy, hut she will not he re- menihered just for her name hut for the sunshine she hrings into each girl ' s life. Besides heing on the Privileged Honor Roll, she is presi- dent of the Sigma Phi Kappa Society, is on the Annual Staff, and is Class Historian. She has also taken part in the Christmas Pageant and May Day program. These show her variety of ahilities. It is Lihhy who gave the Sigs the push they needed, hut she will not need a push to reach the top. SENIORS FANNETTE GORE Outstanding is certainly the word for Faiinette. Faithful in every duty, she was a member of the Peace Student Christian Association for two years. She served as president of the Papyrus Club, as a cheer- leader for the Sigma Phi Kappa, and as a niendjer of the Student Council, the Athletic Association, the Art Club, and the International Relations Club. She was a perfect actress for Stunt Night and also found time to participate in May Da). What a bright future an at- tractive Christian girl like Fannette has! CHARLOTTE HO ' E Charlottes abundance of vitalitv is the key to her winning person- ality. Truly an outstanding senior, she is vice-president of the P.S.C.A., treasurer of the Student Council, and a member of the Alpha Phi Epsilon Society, the Nominating Committee, and the Privileged Honor Roll. She has acliieved scholastic honors, and has also found time to take part in Stunt Night and the Christmas Pageant. A capable girl like Charlotte will surely win success in anything she undertakes, and we are sure that she won ' t be long in reaching the top yk OUTSTANDING PEGGY MYERS An outstanding senior iiidefd is this vivacious little hrunette. As piesident of the Student Council, Peggy has worked hard to lead us in a way that would uphold the high standards of Peace. Pesgy is a P.H.R. and a niendier of the P.S.(].A. ( aliinet. As a nienilier of the Sigma Pi Alpha and Phi Theta Ka| pa Societies she shows that leadership is not the only (|uality she possesses. We are sure that the light she has cast at Peace will con- tinue to he seen as she ' liinlis to the toll. ANN PARKER As president of the P ' eace Stu- dent Christian Association. Ann has lieen a wonderful influcucc on our religious life at Peace. A I ' .H.R. and a luemlier of the I.R.C., she takes part in many school activities. She also finds time to participate in and carry through a snperli Christnuis Pageant. There is no question aliont her future for we know that the friendly, sweet smile and her willingness to work will put her well on the road to success. SENIORS LYNDA WILSON Lynda ' s outstanding creative abil- ity is of great value to her She takes great interest in art work, and lias done a fine joii as Art Editor of The Lotus this year. Her dark attractiveness led her classmates to choose her to serve as Maid of Honor in the May Court. Lynda is )iresident of the Daughters and Granddaughters Clui). a member of the F.S.C.A. Cabinet and the P.H.R. Her reward for her kindiiess and helpfulness will surely be the goal she hopes to attain. SALLY WILSON Still water runs deep might well apply to Sally Wilson, who in her owTi (juiet wav goes about doing ellicientiv all the things that fall her lot — and moie. She is secretary of the Student Council, a Privileged Honor Roll member, and a marshal. In addition she is a memi)er of the Sigma Phi Kappa Society, has taken part in Stunt Night, and has served as an attendant in the Ma} ' Court. The fact that Sally is most compe- tent and reliable will lead her to succeed in whatever she undertakes. ALMA MATER 111 the heart of Carolina. Neath the skies of hhie. Stands our nolile Ahiia Mater.
