 Robert Moore. Sidney Oliver, and James Ballard decided army life was the life for them, and they're all working hard now to help keep the National Defense up to par. while Johnny Robison chose the navy as his career. He said the statement about a girl in every port was untrue . . . maybe because he has a wife at home. Imajean Hoppers and Helen House are married to the boys back home, and Marian Cook is married too, even though she was a man-hater back at Pfeiffer. Myrna and Edna Hathcock are both working . . . Edna is Librarian at Furman University in South Carolina, and Myrna teaches in the grammar school department in Denton. I had wondered where Gene Carroll was, but the other day I heard him in his daily radio program announce a dedication— to Mr. and Mrs. James Steele (the Mrs. being the former Mary Virginia Kennedy) in honor of their fifth wedding anniversary. Hazel Saunders. Rozell Shumolis. and Evelyn Styles all have office positions in Marion. North Carolina; Ruby Floyd lives on the sea coast of South Carolina, and teaches kindergarten at Myrtle Beach. The children enjoy very much the hillbilly songs she sings to amuse them between lessons. Forrest Daniels, through the aid of Mr. Moser, acquired a coveted position as French tutor to a millionaire s son in Winston- Salem. The millionaire has a daughter too. who recently started taking lessons. Charles Tolle, back in the north, is athletic director at North- western University in Illinois. Somehow, we all knew that Tolle boy would make good! Neil Melvin, the big game hunter, recently added another name to the list of animals which he has in his private zoo in Southern Pines. The captured animal is an ornithorhynchus, which we studied about at Pfeiffer, but never expected to see. Malcolm Nelson, naturally, is chef in the new and popular Curbstone Restaurant in the heart of Troy. Recently, a French- man remarked that his cooking was comparable to that of those celebrated French cooks. Speaking of the culinary art, I am reminded of Yvonne Worthy, who is happy in her southern home. Georgia. She has recently become quite famous for her desserts, and is owner of a bakery shop in Atlanta, as partner to Marjorie L.indley, who runs her dress shop in the same building. John Robeson, who was very proficient in scenery making at Pfeiffer, is indispensable in Hollywood, too. If you'll look carefully, you'll see his name flash on the screen just before one of those well-known MGM productions. The other day, I walked into the office of the Editor of the American Magazine. It was Roy Brown, of course; that debonair young journalist of college days, who plays the double bass in a popular orchestra just for relaxation. “Well, Roy,” I asked, “Any scoops?” He took his feet from the desk and waved me to a chair. Nope,” he said, but I've just finished reading Wyat Helsa- beck’s latest novel. I m going to run it as a serial.’’ Yes, Wyat is a noted writer, and this new novel was none other than the one that he began at Pfeiffer: NO HOUR OF TRIUMPH. Roy thought it would be as great a success as his former ones had been. I sighed, as with difficulty I brought back my mind to the present, for my thoughts had been pleasant ones. Finally, I began my search for inspiration to write a new poem, staring unsceingly at my office walls, and finding no inspiration there. ALEENE Ray.

FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS Junior Wagoner President David Beaman .................................... Vice-President WARREN Wallace ............................. Secretary-Treasurer Last fall saw the arrival of 1 26 Freshmen on the campus. We found our places within the bare walls of the dormitories, wondering what the coming year had in store for us. We made ourselves known in practically all of the organizations on the campus. Our scholars “shine,” too. Next year will see us ready, willing, and able to do our part!
