LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT After much deliberation and concentration and a good deal of gazing into the future, we, the sophomores of 1947, relinquish the following to our beloved friends at Sacred Heart Junior College. We make no statements relative to the soundness of our minds. These be strenuous times, and the recent exams took heavy toll of our mental efficiency. We declare, nevertheless, that the following is our latest Will and Testament. Article I To the Faculty we leave our grateful appreciation of all they have taught us by word and example and our assurance that we will ever retain a high esteem for, and a grateful remembrance of them. Article II To the students of Sacred Heart Junior College and Academy we leave the memory of us and the good example we so willingly afforded them. Article III I, Ruth Craig, will and bequeath my willingness of mind and body to go to the Abbey for Sociology Class to Chris Parker, who otherwise may be hesitant about climbing the steps to the second floor. To the girls in Room 201, Bebo, Peggy, and Betty, we, Eloise and Lidia Diaz, will our fixing talent. Girls, let us hear next year that you have won the prize! I, Jeanne Gill, leave to Betty Reed and Mary Powers my skill in passing all my biology tests. Of course, this bequest will not be of any use unless added to a good deal of application to the text and quite an amount of attention in class. To Lillian Katosek, I, Beckie Holton, will the time that I spent getting advertisements for the 1947 annual. This should give her an extra few weeks ' vacation next year. I, Carolyn Huffstickler, do will to Betty Jean Craig my technique in choosing that certain boy — Abbey vs. Carolina. I, Dot Robbins, being of as sound mind as I ever will be, bequeath to Kathleen Neilson my tattered and torn dictionary with hopes that she will know more about that which she talks than I with my extensive, arduous gesticulating. I, Mary Veronica Santos, do LEAVE!! To Laddie Shea, my roommate, I, Marcella White, do will my efficiency in giving encyclopedia daffynitions. My voice, once so strong but now weakening after two years strenuous use at the Abbey games, I, Genevieve Trott, do lavish upon any Freshman who thinks she can handle it. I, Therese Birkner, leave my endless list of anecdotes (which , at least, have enjoyed so much!) to Ernestine Russell. Here ' s hoping she ' ll be conscious of the points and not get pricked by them. Therese Birkner, Lawyer Witnesses: Kitty, our four-year-old, and her Teddy Bear. Page Twenty-six

PROPHECY R-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-ing! Mr. Jones ' office. This is long distance calling Marcella White from Belmont, N. C. This is she. Marcella, this is Sister Stephen at the Alumnae Office, Sacred Heart. We are planning a reunion of the 1947 class, and would like you to write to the members of it and make plans for the event. It will take place on the twentieth of the month. Sister, that sounds wonderful! Get a pencil and paper ready, and I will inform you of their where- abouts — in case you don ' t know! Everything ' s ready, Sister. Start naming them ! Dorothy Robbins is laboratory technician at the Mercy Hospital in Charlotte. So she ' s still looking for bacteria? Yes, and Mary Santos is at the Mercy now, too, ordering all those nurses around. And Mary used to be so mild ! Well, one never knows. But. Sister, where is Ruth Craig? Ruth is in a hospital, too, the Memorial, in Charlotte. She is Head Dietitian You know, of course, that Therese Birkner married? She brought Tim Junior here to see us the other day. He is the loveliest child. Sister, I heard from Genevieve Trott last week. She is now head of the Mathematics Department at Columbia University. I have her address. Yes I knew that. Do you remember Lydia and Eloisa Diez? Lydia is contemplating marriage and Eloisa is teaching Home Economics very successfully in a New York City school. And— before I forget it!— try to contact Jeanne Gill, will you? She is, you know, a surgeon now, and is engaged mostly in facial surgical operations. I think I have her address, Sister. Now Jeanne can get the kind of husband she wants— either before or after! Good looks always did count with her. Carolyn Huffstickler is in the same field as yourself. She is now private secretary to the Secretary of the Interior. According to my list, we have everyone checked now except Rebecca Holton; and she is head of the Physical Education Department, Women ' s Division, University of North Carolina. That ' s one thing I didn ' t know, Sister; though I might have known Beckie would make good in her chosen field. I can hardly wait until the Reunion! I shall v rite my former classmates at once. Call me again, Sister, if I can be of any service to you. Goodbye! Goodbye! Marcella White, college sophomore Page Twenty-five
