Miss Lucy Steele — a faithful and loving servant of her Lord gave her years of service to Him through her efforts at Peace C ollege. Although much of Miss Steele ' s time was spent in many other places speaking a piece and speakincr of Peace, we feel that she was ours, heart and soul. We, her girls, knew Miss Steele as a teacher, counselor, and friend. In the capacity of instructor, she served in the classroom, teaching regular Bible classes and in chapel on Wednesdays teaching again so that those who were not enrolled in a regular Bible class were privileged to enjoy her wise instruction. As a counselor. Miss Steele ' s role included that of adviser to the Peace Student Christian Association and personal counselor to those who sought her imderstandiitg ad ice. Miss .Steele ' s friend- ship to her girls is one of the most treasured memories that th?y hold of her. Her personal interest in each and their relationships toward God and others (es- pecially the true love ) has meant very much to all who sought opportunities to secure her guidance. To one whose faith, abilitv, energy, sense of humor, and enthusiasm the students of Peace College will always ad- mire and to one whose memor ' they will ever cherish — the Lotus of 1 954 pays its highest tribute. •vjts W m THE COLLEGE ADMINISTRATION MISS HALL It is with respect, admiration, and aHection that we hail our Queen of Hearts, Miss Hail.

Ue 31 CLASS HISTORY It was like a dream, bui nevertheless there I was — seated at a very confusing-looking table. The Mad Hatter and March Hare were en- gaged in a very heated argument o er the crowded condition of the table around which we sat, but it was finally decided that there would l)i ' plrnt of room for all il each would occup onl a small designated portion ot the availalile space. I gazed around the table to .see if the othi ' r guests were in the state of confusion hii h 1 maintained oi ' if they were as peculiarly fitted to the environment as my two friends, the Mad Hatter and the March Hare. To my amazemrnt, I recognized two ol the guests as being m two lormer roommates at Peace College, Ann Bostic Re nolds and Martha Black: and we immediatelv fell into con er- sation which soon led to reminiscing of days at Peace. ' T remember that first da ' so well, said .■ nn. because it was filh-d with registering, busing books, unpacking, and meeting every- one on the hall. ' es, and then that night we had a hall party, replied Martha. I remember that . nn looked so sad. In fact, all of us looked like first-class sad sacks. Two days later the old girls arrived and the P.S.C.A. campus party took place, I remarked. S ' e plaved games and sang songs in order to meet e eryone. Then, the ne.xt day clas.ses began. Elections were held several weeks later, ' remarked Martha, and Ann was elected president of oiu class. Jean Peake, Mary Ro.ss Anderson, and Sally Bullock were oiu ' other officers. Don ' t forget Mrs. Rhodes, our sponsor, replied . nn. .She certainly was a big help to us in planning the Junior-Senior Prom the following .Aijril. ' es, replied Martha, and the theme, Under the Sea, was beautifully carried out. Wait a minute, I said, you ' re jumping ahead of time. Don ' t overlook Rush Week and making the choice of which .society to join, and then Rat Day. I thought my knees would never lie the same after crawling from the Rec room to the front door: and running around so early in the morning, taking exercises, picking up acorns and eating goo — lilindfolded at that! — made me think I ' d ne er li e through the da ! However, it was worth it when we took our ows during initiation. We were then lull pledged member.s — not Rats or just lowlv pledges! And then came the Society Banquet at the C:arolina Hotel. We had wonderful food and entertainment, and we rode in style, too — on eil bu.sses, said Martha laughing. Talking about food, said . ' nn, trying to get in a few words, remember when the baskets of food were given to the maids, the laundrv workers, and Irene and Mabel? It was on the day we were getting out for Thanksgiving holida s, and amid all the excitement of going home, the P.S.C.A. sponsored this sharing program. I thought it was a happy, e en though tearful, event: it made mc realize how thankful I should be. Howe er, soon w ' e were back, and we faced exams. .Some of us took our minds off our books by haxing ' lion hunts ' and ' beach parties. ' Then we started looking forward to the Christmas holidavs. Many of us took part in the traditional pageant, while others .sang in the concert gisen by the choir on the day before we were to go home. Alter the concert we sang carols on the stairs and then marched into the dining room to eat our Christmas dinner. During the delicious turkey dinner we exchanged gifts at our tables, sang, and gave gifts to the waiters and cooks. Follow- ing a studyless closed study, we had hall parties and finally went to sleep dreaming about those wonderful days ahead. Coming back to Peace in a new year, we tried to stick our noses into our books once more 32 CLASS HISTORY and settle down, ' recalled Martha. Ijut il was hard. There were so many other things to do. like practicinsi for .Stunt . i !:ht; then when Stunt ight was held, our class w on ! We ere so proud ! We had beaten all the other classes including; the Seniors! Then, second quarter exams and visitation week ends rolled arotmd. The Sigs ' had a George Washington Ball; and the Rhos had a dance in . pril. lolluwed lj spring holidays and the Junior-.Senior. ■Yes, I replied, and during this time elections were taking place and Je.in Pe.ike and .Ann were elected to represent the [imior Glass in Mas Da . Some of us did tliose cr.jzs dances, and it was hilarious! Then oin liuure roommate was again elected to lead our class the coming year. reminded Martha. Yes. Ann was a big deal now because this office aiuomatically made her ice-president of the student bod . I added. Well, don ' t forget that Mary Ross was elected president of the student bod . .She was so little to have all the brains and energy she possessed. Sally Bullock proved her capabilit by being elected president of the P..S.C.A.. said -Ann. and Rose Dickinson was chosen to be editor of the Lotus. Glass Day rolled arotmd and the .Seniors pinned green and white ribbons on us. signifying that we were at long last Seniors ourselves! ' Those summer months passed niight fast. remarked Martha. It was no time before we were back here unpacking, buying books, and greeting old friends. I remember that I felt so good — being a Senior and knowing so man people. 1 truly wasn ' t a lowly underclassman any more. Then came our turn to rush the new girls, ' I said. It must have been ditiicult for the new- girls to decide which of the three societies seemed more attractive. Rat Day soon arrived and the mean things we ' d planned were rained out. I ' hose new girls just didn ' t realize how lucky they were. The entertainment at the Society Banquet was exceptionally good that year, remarked .Ann; and then the Thanksgiving holidays rolled around again, with exams following those iour happ days of vacation. Then C ' hristmas was here almost before we knew it. When annual picture-taking time rolled aroimd. the elections for Miss Peace ' and the eight outstanding Seniors kept us in suspense lor a few days. I said. Sally Bullock was elected ' Miss Peace ' ; and Mary Ro.ss. Martha, Marie. Shirley. Gwen. and Patsy were cho.sen as other outstanding boarding students. We were so plea.sed to ha e Rose Dickinson and Sally Thompson, two of our dav students, represented among that select few. Stunt night, isitation week ends, exams, and the daily roiuine of school took up our time imtil spring holidays. Following that came the Junior-Senior Prom. The Juniors realK pro ided us with a good time. Let ' s not forget that our ' roomie ' reigned as our May Queen, ' ' ou realK did look queenly, .Ann, I said to her. Thanks, replied .Ann, but don ' t forget that Jean Peake was Maid of Honor. .She looked so lo el in that beautiful dress. Then it was time to practice Glass Day, ■Marth.i ne.illed. .incl during those passing da s we ' d lieen ordering graduation invitations, picking out our white dresses, and getting ready for those final exams. Yes. and graduation was so exciting, yet sad, said .Ann. Walking down the aisle of the chapel with those red roses in our arms meant that we were truly leaving Peace and all its many experiences, both joyful and sorrow- ful. .And all our friends, I added. Those da s will never be forgotten: they will li e on forever in the hearts of the class of ' , 4. Si Lvi. .Morrow.

I bclicNc 1 am falling down, down, down, down, Ohh! such was my recent exclamation as I found myself accompanying Alice through the ke holc and down into the pit which led to the magic world of Wonderland. E er thing was as I had imagined it — a dreamer ' s fair land. I caught my breath and eagerly scanned the fabulous surroundings of my ncwly-lound Utopia ainong the glitter and the gold. I felt a thrill of excitement pass through me as Alice Ijcg.in lo introduce me to her unique companions. The Walrus clasped my hand most aHectionateK , and I knew right away that it would be a friendly place indeed ! I met many others in the next few minutes, but the shock of iny life followed soon afterward. It was fine for one to be in Wonderland with the Mad Hatter, the Walrus, the March Hare, the Clheshire Cat, the Mock Turtle, and all the characters that one reads aljout; l ut can you imagine how it felt to sec another human — and of all things an old Peace girl — Sylvia Mor- row. I pushed my way through the group until I reached her side and we began to talk. .She told me that she is head of the C!ham -pions Corporation the se da s and really does like the work. I asked SyKia about her old room- mates, Ann Bostic Reynolds and Martha Black. .She said that Ann is busy these days inodeling Studebakers for her hubby, Bill, and that Martha is training tigers for an act in Barninn-BailiN Circus. The act, iiy the way, has the catchy name of Claw and Son. .Sylvia Burnett was there too, surrounded by numerous Wonderland personalities. I was thrilled to hear about her opening at the Palladium in London. It .seems that .SvKia has made ciuite a hit by taking Joan Crawford ' s place in I he Torch .Song. .Speaking of show- business, Rose Marie Dennis, Ros Shelton, and Jackie Blackm.m ha e signed a contract with the Ice Follies Show. Betty Reese Sugg was supposed to have starred with them, but she has a full-time job looking after a new genera lion of ftitine .Siirma Nu ' s. I left SyKia and sas following .Mice on through the group when I suddenly came upon more Peace girls. .Shirley Councilman and Harri Heaton had dctoured b Wonderland on their sa home from Sp.iin where .Shirley has l)een brushing up on her title as the first woman Matador. Shirley said she had a grand audience, but that her favorite fan was a fellow named Bobby. Harri had been en- gaged in giving dancing lessons to the chorus line of Carmen. I was still talking to Harri when I glimpsed .Sally Thompson, LaWrne Bagley, and Gayle Hayes. They had been to Egypt studying the hieroglyphics in the Nik- River Valley, hoping to find a new formula for mud packs. Sally said they had not been too successful and had come to Wonderland because the . ile mud was a little gooey. Frances Cavils and Linda Johnson were busy styling .Alice haircuts since the Italian boy has gone out of vogue. June Dale McLamb was supposed to join them, but she is still working on the bowl cut. Her practice model, by the way, is Linda ' s l)rother. Just at that moment I heard the sweetest sound that had come to my ears since the 10:00 p.m. bell at Peace. I looked all around, and to m astonishment found Mary Ross .Anderson making Wonder-wax recordings of a nightin- gale ' s call for children ' s records. .She makes her records under the name of Jenny Lind. I hear she really has Hooked a good deal! Nancy Hamlnighl .tnd June Chamfilee were absorbed in watching Tweedledee and Tweedledum leach the Lion to sing A ' ery Happy L ' niiirthday. Nancy has just finished her new best-seller, Why I Don ' t Eat Spinach! 36 CLASS PROPHECY Speakins; of vegetables, Margaret Stafford was having a Ijusiness conference with the March Hare as I approached. She told me that she was planning to expand her lettuce canning factorx, and she thought that a rabbit ' s advice on the matter would be beneficial ! Margaret said that she hadn ' t sjot much infor- mation since Mr. Hare was completely worn out from Lou Carter, Gwen Fussell, and Janet Hodgin ' s efforts to teach him the Bunn Hop. I felt the need of some nourishment, and so Alice told me to go over to the concession stand. Patsy Inman and Joyce Grantham were found standing liehind the counter. Patsv said that thev made a good proht from Big Orange Drinks down in Wonderland. As I stood talking to these two. I saw some- thing which really did renew old memories. Over on the stairs leading into Wonderland sat Phoebe Fair and Jean Peake. One would never guess what they were doing — knitting the goods, of course ! ! Phoebe keeps husliand Dan well supplied, but Jean ' s problem is that Bryant has a football team. I am sure you have heard the expression all brawn and no brain — well, the quip for this situation is ' eleven pairs of feet, but no socks! There were all sorts of noises, ' and I don ' t know what all, when I spied Sally Bullock steering her way through the deluge. It seems that she is quite a universal figure these days, and it was a real pleasure to see her. When I asked Sally what she was doing in Wonderland, she replied that she and Dixie McEwen, who is now a famous French designer and model, had come down to christen the new Wonder-ocean liner, Her Majesty Stovall. While I was still talking to Sally and Dixie, I saw Betty Bright and .Shirley Cameron standing by a huge bonfire toasting chocolate- covered marshmellows. Inflation — .American style — really has set in down here. They were selling them two for twenty cents — but when one is himgry . . . Alice and I strolled on, and as we walked I looked back in retrospect at some of the gay years at my . Mma Mater. As we talked I heard the sound of a most familiar voice. Imagine my surprise to find my old roomie, Nancy Ragan, entertaining the Wonderland menagerie with her rendition of the new hit song, Jimmie A Little Kiss. .Speaking of hits. Fay Jackson was over in another group teaching the steps to the More- head City Bop. Because of this new rage I believe .Squibb and Clompany will make a small fortune on vitamin pills. It takes energy, my friends! The pedestrian tratlic was getting rather involved, and .- lice and I decided to fight our way through the crowd to get back to the en- trance to Wonderland. Two Peace girls, Jackie Pate and Betty Parrish were helping in the direction ol traHic. I asked them if the had seen my old friend, Rose Dickinson, and they told me that she could not come down since there would be no one to look after her big Jonathan and some other reasons — about four 1 think. .As Alice and I reached the gate, I was shook to see Marie Broetzman standing at the stairway to Wonderland, screaming through a huge red megaphone, When you get to the states, go Seaboard ! I found out later that Seaboard doesn ' t ha e a Wonderland line yet, but they are working on it ! Sad as it makes me, I must close now. I hated to leave the magical Wonderland, . lice, all her friends, and the old Peace girls, but we all must go on with everyday jobs. Mine, b the wax, is raising ' .Anteaters — six b count, and it really is a full time occupa- tion in the Woollen household. However, I do send you a sincere invitation to drop in and visit us any time you are near High Point. Let me add though that you should bring your spinning wheel cause What it was was the textile business! . s ever, S, R.a,H EliZ- BETH W.ARREN 37 ' J fcmcon Barbara Bei.i Prtsiilciil N. nc Rhoads Mce-Presidenl OFFIClERS Jean CIravvford Secretary Jewell Buffaloe Treasurer Miss Fowler Adviser 38 ( ia a tcf- OAC Alma Jmvce Adams Raleigh Pi Thfta Mu Elgie Gray Alien Olayton Rho Delta C:hi Mary Owen Armistead Nathalie, ' a.

OUTSTANDING SENIORS MARY ROSS AXDERSOX There is the saying, Good things come in small packages, that could not be truer of any one than of Mary Ross. Mary Ross came to Peace as a junior in high school, and she has culminated three years of honors with her election to the most important ofHce at Peace, President of tin Student Council. Not only has Mary Ross been actixe in school affairs bin she has gained the respect, admira- tion, and affection of all those who know her. Her inHucnce has been felt by all of us. and even after we leave Peace, we will recall her friend- liness and her quiet calm leadership. MARTHA BL. CK Martha is a ery acti e Peace girl who has pro cd o er and over again her capabilities. As secretary of the P.S.C.A. Martha displays her ability to work with others. She is repre- sentative of the student body tf) the Student C ouncil. a member of the business staff ' of the Lotus, and a member of the Daughters and Grand- daughters Club. We know that in whatever Martha decides to do, she will be successful . OUTSTANDING SENIORS MARIE BROETZMAN A lovable friend to all who know her and a capable leader on our campus, Marie is hailed as one of our outstanding seniors. Serving as the Business Manager of the Lotus has required much effort and re- sponsibility, which she has accepted enthusiastically. Such a friend and leader as Marie reflects our Peace spirit and ideals. ■ We looked, admired, and meas- ured, and still wc could not sum her values. SHIRLEY COUNCILMAN Words cannot justly portray Shir- Icys outstanding qualities. Honored by all Peace girls for her versatility in campus activities and her capa- bility in scholastic achievements, an ideal to many and a friend to all, Shirley is characterized by her warm smile and her affable disposition. Years shall not erase our memory of this girl who is loved and admired by each of us. OUTSTANDING SENIORS ROSE DK:KIN ' S0N Peace is certainly fortunate to have attracted sucii a day student as the Editor of the Lotus of 1954. Rose Dickinson has stepped into the ac- tivities at Peace with the greatest of ease. She is superior, not only in editorial abilities but also in the field of painting. Rose is outstanding for her personal accomplishments and for her capacity to get others to work for her. Peace is proud of her day students when they can bring her a Rose Dickinson. GWEN FUSSELL A little Peace girl, a loyal Peace girl, Gwen is like a tiny ray of sun- light, brightening the day of all those she meets. She has endeared herself to everyone at Peace by her sweet air, her pleasant disposition, and her deep interest in the C abinet and all academic activities. We know that she will, through her religious zeal and her ambition, become suc- cessful in the field she has chosen — Director of Christian Education. OUTSTANDING SENIORS PATSY INMAN Quiet, steadfast, and faithful — that is Patsy, who has won a special place in all our hearts. Patsy is a girl of few words, but when she speaks we listen. As President of the Athletic Council and a member of many organizations, she takes an active interest in what goes on at Peace. Her strong dependability, good na- ture, and willingness to help others make her outstanding among her friends and respected by all. SALLY THOMPSON it. good humor, and wisdom are rarely found in one person. How- ever, we believe that Peace has found one who exhibits such traits, Sally Thompson. Sally has served this year as President of the Day Student C ' ouncil, and her interest in Peace is displayed in her cflbrts to strengthen the ties of our day students to Peace. Sally is talented in the field of paint- ing, and her work has been a source of pleasure t(j us. Peace bows grate- fully to Sally Thompson for her pleasing personality and academic accomplishments and wishes her all success. fflHPillUff ti ♦T ' s TRADITIONAL SNAPSHOTS 83 ALMA MATER In the heart of Carolina, ' Neath the skies of blue, Stands our notjle Alma Mater, Glorious to view.
