j rop Alone with atomic energy and television is radar which enables us to see, hear, and know everything! Let us set up the television screen for 1956 and find out all the things that have happened to the '46 graduates of P.J.C. Now, let's see. Whom shall wre look in on first? Haven't seen Sam Johnson in a long time. Let's look for him. There he is, editor of the Atlanta Journal, returning home after a hard day’s work at the office. His very ef- ficient secretary is Betty Quattlebaum. On his staff is Anice Adams, who is the feature editor, and Louise Diffee, who is becoming known the world over for her daily column on How to Get Along with People.” Let’s take a peep” at Betty Phifer and Betty Proctor who are now famous models, modeling the latest clothes designed by Janie McCall. Maurice Blevins has just patented a new' brand of tooth paste . . . you can purchase it in all sizes up to a p(l)int. His able chemist assistant is Adelia Poindexter. I wonder what vocations the girls have gone into. Let’s look around and see. Ruth Cartner is head of the commercial department at Mocksville High School. There is Margaret Goodman, instructor of foreign languages in Hanes High School, Winston-Salem. Of course Myrtle Richardson is doing private duty to a millionaire ... he is single, too! Adelaide Johnson is now a prominent director of Religious Education. Eleanor Webb is direct- ing the cleaning of slums in New' York. Peggy Williams is a famous Powers' model. Doing all right, aren't they? Some of the girls find matrimony a pleasant occu- pation . . . Doris Bryant, Lila Gaster, Emmy Lou Hur- locker, and Margaret Bynum are all living happily in their little bungalow's. Nelda Garmon and Kathleen Reeder are secretaries in prominent law' offices in Charlotte. Let’s take a look around Hollyw'ood . . . there is Dixie Mull playing the role of Scarlet O'Hara in the new' production of ’Gone With the Wind.” And Mary Rudolph is starring in the picture Two Fellows and a Moron.” By the way, it’s on at the Carolina Theater, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of this wreek. Karolyn Cooke has a leading role in 20th Century Fox’s latest picture. Poor Dorcas Mclver is still trying to make up her mind. Meanwhile, she is an English teacher in Southern Illinois Normal Lfniversity. Madison Square Garden . . . look who just wmn the All-American basketball cup ... no other than the girls' team coached by Nancy Robertson. Troy, N. C. Great me!” What is that swanky place across the street? There is a sign, ’ The Troy Hot Spot,” the largest night club in the fair city, and the manager is Brantley Shaw Mildred Hatley has just been elected the fifth best w'oman of America, 1956. Say! What’s all the crow'd about? Why, it is Miriam Cullum campaigning for Juanita Lee who is now' running for president of the L nited States. Who is that over there ... no it isn’t . . . yes it is too . . . Betty Alice Cartner, who has just returned from her vacation on Coney Island. A teachers’ convention in Chicago . . . let’s see if w'e know anyone here. Why, there is Betty Shanklc, Martha Ballard, Carol Erwin, and Betty Alice Bow'ers. There goes Doris Shawr up the street. She was just elected Miss America, 1956. San Francisco, California . . . Nancy Ross Black and Eleanor Peterson just set sail for China where they will begin their w'ork as missionaries. Whatcha doing? Why, if it isn’t Raye Hallyburton, a very successful waitress in Charlotte. Her husband is the owner, too. Eula Faye Kennedy and Will Rose Smith are the favorite mothers at the orphanage. All the kids love them. Say, what are all the kids raving about? . . . w'hy it’s a new' volume of funny books just off the press, edited by Margaret Gerringer. Hilda Outlaw' certainly knows the way to a man’s heart. She is now' the dietitian at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New' York. The Ladies in White are Ruth Bailey, Rebecca McNeil, and Dorothy Hovis, in Johns Hopkins Hospital. They are doing a w’onderful job keeping everyone happy and sending the patients home strong and healthy. Alice Goodman is a school marm now. She has forty students in her first grade, and she is starting them right; you should hear them count, read and do everything just as first graders should. Alma Jarrett is now studying music in Paris; she will soon complete her study and return to the States to teach in the Boston Conservatory of Music. Cecelia Biggers is now happily married to a well known surgeon and is living in New' York where she spends her spare time doing social work. The new minister is Kenneth Haris, who is the favorite of everyone. Preacher Harris, they now' call him. Martha Futrell, a newcomer to the New' York stage, is speedily making her wray to fame, and is the rave of the critics! Jackie Sletz is now an efficient accountant to a large firm in Charlotte. The head nurse at Duke Hospital is Algie Smith. She has w-orked her way into the hearts of her patients and fellow workers. John Trott can be seen almost any day on the sandy beach with his distilling apparatus, distilling the water from the ocean to obtain salt so that he may catch birds by putting it on their tails. The screen is blurring. I can see nothing more . . . thus ends the prophecy of the Sophomores of Pfeiffer Junior College and their participation in the futur world.

But what we; with a bitter-sweet feeling in the pit of our stomachs, we, the Sophomore Class of 1946, midst wet and muddy bags, shoes and clothing. Remember your over-enthusiasm to get started by rising way before that cow-bell clanged? Or did you miss breakfast, too? What about those exams before classes began, midst rain and general confusion of boxes of things left at home? And the Mixer Party—then registration and the realization that school, to be school, had to have classes. It took a while, didn't it, to get used to going to classes just when you have and not having to report in one room and remain in school all day? Classes started, clubs got underway, and the Y con- secration service in front of the chapel will long be remembered. Remember how you wanted to belong to every club But wait! What of our first formal affair, the Presi- dent's Reception? Shaking hands with all those people. Bet you thought you'd never learn all their names. Then came our first dance and the jokes about the 'dates'' the girls had. Oh, well, we can dream—even if it is hard to dance with a dream.' Then there was the corn husking out at the farm—and a nice long walk back. Later on, remember good oL Sadie Hawkins Day, and did we take advantage of it! But all is not play at college and Thanksgiving found us limping home after our first contact with college exams in the form of mid-semesters. u j It seemed like no time before Christmas was here with dorn parties and carolers and biting cold weather. It seemed like even less time before we were back again in the old grind, with the horrible monster semester exams” staring us in the face. But we kept our morale up by bas- ketball games and special week-end doings. Better late, than never!” We finally elected officers: Herb Clark, President; Bill Moore, Vice-President; Ginny Ross, Secretary; Noel Coltrane, Treasurer. Then we started looking forward to the Washington Ball, when our own Patsy Mabe and Brantley Shaw became a wonderful Mar- tha and George. And don't forget the bank! Then things started happening too rapidly. Another set of mid-semester exams, and spring was here with the Spring Dance, with Grady Oliver as a most graceful Posture Queen. Remember all the spring concerts, especially that of the chorus? Then it wasn't long until the All-School Banquet was held and wasn't our Bill Moore grand as a Master of Ceremonies? Remember the boys’ quartet? Another blink of the eye, and May Day arrived despite ripping cold winds and threatening clouds. Remember Hal lie Dockery as the lovely Queen and the costumes we struggled over? Fun, wasn't it? Then the last exams faced us and we soberly watched the sophomores come forward one by one to receive their diplomas. We parted on a rainy day, but not as we came—with a few tears, perhaps, but this time, not from (Continued on Puge 93) 26
