three of the young men became integral parts of the football team, t.wo of the young' ladies were sta1's on t.l1e girls' basketball team, many joined the various campus clubs, three were chosen to the PEN staff and reflected the freshman opinion of the campus. Our freshman year closed with everyone apparently well satis- fied. Catastrophe fi1'st visited our class when Ria Dora Ellis. popular student from Great Falls, Montana. was painfully injured in. the g'reat 'tOlympian train w1'eck. Our sophomore year was entered with ill-concealed anticipation. There was much to do. including the important job of dis- cipling the new freshmen. There were fifty-eight of us. forty-six who had re- turned from the year previous and eight others who joined us for various reasons. Most welcome additions were Miriam Roberts from S. C. who has since proved en.e of our ablest members. and Melton Sadler. who was returning to school after a year's absence. Charles Atkins was elected class 'presidentg Ethel Hegamin vice-president: Ellen Jones, secretary: and Swannie Thorpe, treasurer. As a class, we maintained a high degree of interest in the varied programs of the school and there was increased pa1'ticipation. Out- standing for our sophomore years was Charles Atkins. who won the Barber Prize for best delive1'ing' an address of his own composition. TVithout realising' it we had completed one-half of our col- lege career. The beginning of our Junior Year found us increasingly self-confident. AVO boasted an enrollment of forty-four stu- dents of whom four were with us for the first time: Lloyd Allen familia1'ly known as TeX . became number one artist of the Pen Staffg Thelma Hamilton excelled i11. Dramaticsg tllivette Hall became one of the popular members of the class con- nected with the Junior AYIPIIIHIHS Auxili- as well as being' a ary: and Charles Fox, lay-reader. became one of St. Augfs fam- ous Ironmen of the gridiron. As for class officers. the following we1'e chosen.: Charles Atkins. president: Thomas Bemhry, vice-presidentg Ellen Jones. secretaryg Henry Perry, treasurerg and for Council representatives there were: Charles Atkins. Miriam, Roberts. Thomas lieuihry, and tlryntha AVrig'ht. This was the year that our class really came into its own . Charles Atkins head- ed the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, and the Student. Council. Thomas Bembry was elected Captain of the Football Team, and Elb1'e Gaiter moved up in Tennis. Class participation in campus activities can best be shown by the number of our members represented. This was the first year that our class witnessed a football game won by our own. team. The affairs of the year we1'e culminated by the A11- 11ual Junior-Senior Prom. an affair that our class put over with spectacular success. The semester marks showed that eight of the Juniors had gained places on the honor roll. AVe entered our senior year with an inexplicable feeling' of mingled joy and v. We we1'e joyful beceause we were sorrow. XVe were joyful because we were soon to leave friends who have become a part of our lives. There were thirty-one of us. fXV6I1iy-0119 of us having marched the long . hard way together. At our first class meeting' we vowed to make the year a success. To lead us down the eventful home stretch we chose the following' class offic- ers: Thomas Dembry, president: Charles Atkins. tvice-presidentg Gladys Delphy. secretaryg Hen1'y Perry, treasurer. Coun- cil members elected were David Ha1'pe1', Muriel Carter, Thomascina Duncan. Charles Fox, a11d Thomas Bembry. This was the year that the Seniors domi- uated the scene. Thomas Bembry was elect- ed president of tl1e Student Council Charles Atkins again became the head of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, Harry Johnson was chosen to captain the foot- ball team, Gladys Delphy became presi- dent of the Les Elites. Cha1'les Atkins assumed responsibilities as Editor-in- chief of the Pen. Thomas Bembry was duly initiated as Lo1'd High Chancellor of the Chancellors' Club. David Ha1'pe1' be- came the secretary of the Acies Club for the second time. It may be said of our class that what- ever we entered, we gave the very best we had. Through the combined efforts of the Senior Class and the Student Council was promoted the first Homecoming in the history of the school. NVe have contributed to the best. on the campus. A survey of the class achievements shows the follow- ing results of our four years: Two student

passed a neat little shop displaying the sign-SilentDo-Good. You guessed it. lt's the same little shop Lou and Margo opened nine years ago, Margo ope1'ates it now since Lou has begun her career. she sells everything from corn pads to stocking caps. Before we had walked very far Doris Hol- loway picked us up in her Buick. She stop- ped in Raleigh on her way to New York l niversity where she has just received her degree in social work. She drove us over to Durham. Did we get the surprise ol' our lives? She stopped by Marshall-Sadler Mor- ticians. Imagine those two in business.

So many changes have been made, and the student body hast doubled in size. Looking threugh the new science building, which is over the hill near the Hallibur- ton 's cottage, we found Sadie Newkirk, who is associate professor. administering a hypodermic to her ''pi':ats -creatures re- sulting from her experiment in cross-b1'eed- ing cats and pigs. Tliomacina Duncan, as you remember her by that name. was wa lch- ing with interest. She tells me that she grew t.ired of life in the South, divorced and moved to New -lersey where she is living in a comfortable suburban home- Mrs. for the second time. Floria. Moore and Carlotta ttjlickeyl came together. Both are employed in North Carolina. Floria's job is most unusualf she is supc1'visor ol' handicral't in the state under its recently instituted progressive system of education.

This versatile group was destined to be- come the famous class of '41. The custo- mary freshman initiation was administer- ed and was accepted with a surprising ealm. After the novelty ol' being away from home had worn, off. we went about the business of class organization. At the first official class meeting the following election of officers took place: cipalg she loves her work. lvy wasn't there -Clicky tells me that she was too busy gathering ma.terial for her dissertationg she expects to have the Ph.D. degree from Had- cliffe next winter. Did you ever use the little book that lvy wrote-How to Play Auction and Uontract liridge? Dorothy Paige is still petite and neat She is secretary ot' the North Varolina Mu- tual liife Insu1'a11ce Co. Now. Goodness don't let me forget our old campus comediang Easley sort of pleasant- ly disappointed us all. He turned out to be a p1'iest and is now chaplain in the army at. Fort -lackson near Columbia. He visits my people whenever he goes to the city. Harry .lohnson has just retired from pro- fessional football and now he is caterer in Avon. his home town. Business, he tells me is very good. Living 1941 over again was the lifeg made nie feel like a. girl again. But after all we never grow old. The finishing school ot' mine is quite the thing-quite exclusive. As long as l'm di- rector l intend to keep it that way. Joe quite agrees that l should. He's a. great help in advising me about. the girls. l.'ve romped so with them today-we have two holidays a. week-that l'm in for a good sleep. So l'll have to stop with telling you about our classmates this time. When Henry is home again remember me To him. l know you miss him since he start- ed piloting the Vnited States mail plane. And he's only in llainpton once a month? We missed both of you at the reunion. Do write soon and expect me down for a week-end almost any time, Sincerely.

Willie and Henry Perry were chosen as council rep- resentatives. 1Vith this as a start the class of 1941 was soon in the midst of campus activities. Eager to get the most out of college life, we began to branch out into the var- ious extra-curricular activities. Fourteen of our members joined thc t'horal Club. eight became active in the Dramatic t'lub,
