SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY On September llt 1940, one hundred and thirty-three Freshmen enrolled at Pfeiffer. During the weeks of getting-acquainted that followed, many new friendships were made and academic work was much retarded. But following Rat Week, in which the Frosh were shown all too clearly the more realistic side of the education problem, many good students pushed themselves to the front and made the Dean’s Honor Roll. In a Freshman class meeting, Buck Wagoner was elected Presi- dent; Warren Wallace, Vice-President; and David Beaman, Secre- tary-Treasurer. Under the leadership of these able officers the class participated in many outside forms of entertainment. Miss Can- field and Mr. Lefko were the sponsors. At the end of the year we looked back with pride upon the records that had been set by our scholars, our leaders many of whom made the much coveted “Order of the Sundial ’ and our many fine athletes. Sympathetically, we looked back at the erring ones who had departed from our midst. In September, 1941, only sixty-nine Sophomores registered. Since they were veterans they swung immediately into campus activities, and great academic competition resulted. Walter Draughon was elected President; J. C. Lassiter, Vice-President; and Mary Louise Culp, Secretary-Treasurer. The sponsors for the year were Mrs. Tolle and Mr. Moser. In the extra-curricular phases these student leaders were chosen; Elfreda Shinn, editor of the Torch; Roger Saunders, business manager of the Torch; J. C. Lassiter, editor of the PaJaCa; Buck Wagoner, business manager of the PaJaCa; Walter Draughon, president of the Y. M. C. A.; Alice Boyer, president of the Y. W. C. A.; Bill Williams, president of the Student Body; Imogene Williamson, secretary of the Student Body. A book of student compositions in prose and poetry, entitled “The Voice of the Lark,” was published under the direction of Miss Spencer. Other activities of the school year included the annual Washington Ball, the All-School Banquet, the Alumni Banquet, “sneak day,” the class play, and the May Day program. Page Twenty-one

SOPHOMORE PROPHECY Eight o’clock in the morning and just time for one more nap! Oh-h-Oh, just one more nap! What’s this? Why! it can’t be! Yes, it is though visions of college chums just as pictured in a kaleidoscope. And where am I? Why back at dear old P. J. C. in 1 952. And say, what is this? A huge crowd, a basketball game and a radio commentator. Oh. yes, I see, it’s the night following the Alumni Banquet, and a great homecoming game is to be played between Pfeiffer and Davidson. The game is about to begin and the commentator, Roger Saunders, is patiently waiting for the on the air’’ signal. When the control man gives him the signal, we hear him say: “Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, this is Saunders broadcasting another clash between Pfeiffer and Davidson. There is an exceptionally large crowd here to watch these two teams battle tonight, as this is the annual home- coming game. As the teams are not on the court, I’ll look around and call attention to notables here. We notice that Coach Baxter and Mrs. Baxter, formerly Virginia Baker, are among this distinguished-looking crowd. T hey seem to be talking with some other friends—Let’s see if we know them—why certainly, there’s Gaston, Roberts, Harrison, and Wagoner, members of the 1 952 All-American basketball team. “What a surprise! Pearl Floyd, three times divorcee, has entered the gym. She has just returned from Reno where she married a Wall Street banker. “We notice some teachers sitting together near the front. Wait and I'll see if I can identify them. Yes, there’s Frances Ballard, Frieda Hill, Margaret McNeill. Edith Misenheimer. Willie Mae Cowan, and Mary Louise Culp. Miss Culp is head of the Social Science Department at the University of North Caro- lina. Helena Baker, Virginia State Young People’s worker, and Miriam Small, Math teacher at Asheville, are again together after their long separation. “On the other side of the court in a far-away corner, I spot four former students, Walsie Bell, Dottie’ Jinnett, Nell Peeler, and Mary Ramsey discussing their ten happy years of married life. At any great gathering someone may faint or become ill: therefore, as a precaution, a number of nurses are here to handle any emergency. These include Daisy Moorefield, Trudell Freeman, and Mrs. Wagoner, formerly Dorothy Scarboro. “Miss North Carolina was selected last week—the lovely mannequin was none other than our own Hillard Bunn. She is now talking with Alice Boyer. Hully’ says she buys all her clothes at a very exclusive shop in Troy, owned by Myrtle Brayboy and Mildred Honeycutt. “To my right is Gunther Frankl, editor of The New York Times, talking with two of his staff, Carl Cahill and Lola Vaughn. And there goes Malcolm Nelson, a famous electrical engineer—no longer single, believe it or not.’ Page Tu'enty-three
