7fze lm Senior Jing!! Prrfphc y A QUICK GAME OF TRUTH AND CONSEQUENCES f , Look forward, look deep into the crystal ball, and ye shall see my brilliant future, say I, Class o 41. The crystal floods, and as it clears, Anne Milteer stands at the altar, a blushing bride, her one-and- only by her side. As she fades from view, Mary Parker, with brush and palette in hand, appears, putting the hnal touches on her masterpiece. After this, the pictures come in rapid succession. There is Barbara Adams in a massive palace, her childhood dreams realized. She is followed by her many attendants as she paces the silver floor, a chariot of glittering gold awaits her at the door. Jeannie Clark and Joan Lagarde fthey have both added to their names, but it's a sccretj are eating ice cream cones while they tear along the road at White Sulphur Springs on their way to meet their surgeon husbands for a game of golf. Jane Austin-in spite of the fact that she has just played the most astounding match of the tennis world, even surpassing the record of her predecessor, Alice Marble, is modestly accepting The NVQ- man's Singles Cup at Forest Hills, New York. Helen Tully, John Power's star model, is slithering in and out of Bergdolf Goodman's and Jay Thorpe's more expensive gowns and passing them off on New York's less voluputuous niatrons. Pixie-like BuddyH Fenichel leaves the crowds at the Madison Square Garden Horse Show simply limp as she lifts the stallion Chatham Hall over the bars. As Nfrs. Cook has retired to the home of her son and daughter-in-law, Mzirgie Anderson, her suc- cessor, is left guarding the portals of Stratford. CSl1ZlClCS of Franklinis, Margie, who'd have thought itlj Schumann-Heink revolves in her grave as Madaiiie Littlcjohn C Kathie, as she was when we knew her when J sends a high Z richocheting through the Diamond Horseshoe, VVe find Carolyn Lambeth out in the country, with the birds twittering and the cows mooing as she niilks Bessie for the breakfast of her red-headed tribe. Nellie Lea, true to her earliest training in Social Problems, is now working hand-in-hand with the Hays oflice. Frances Richardson, scintillating in whale-bone and satin, holds the lever of Charleston's social wheel. Winifred Haywood, in her trim-fitting khaki uniform, is busy boosting the morale of Uncle Sam's Air Corps. We see that the well-dressed woman of the day is wearing Rusty Fasliions-and q1crlIe.rjigurfJ, my deahl l Scotty Spear is busy making kilts for her young Scots. Jean McDaniel is madly chasing around the campus in pursuit of her absent-minded professor- husband, who forgot his umbrella. Blazie, between clicks of the knitting needles, is very much occupied with the bringing up of her children according to Schoollicld's book on Ilryclzology or Via, Uf'er.ra.J All this with the optimistic view that there will be a world and a future! Blazie, Jeannie, School'lield. P. S. For a nickel more, we will swap and give you another. P. P. S. Consequences?????????r Senior Hal! WY! I have given you my History and my Prophecy, and now there remains but one last thing for me to do before I go: Leave you the Consequences to my Truth.'l Jeannie and Blazie do hereby bequeath to Nancy Sultzer Cwhat there is left of her after she corners the Chesterfield marketj their door-knob, curtain-rods,', and vic. Cliiguratively speak- 1n . g ,K'Schoolfield leaves her midnight visits to Stratford to anyone who can get away with them. Barbie Adams leaves her unsurpassed technique to Jeanne Anderson. Carolyn Lambeth four red-headed darlingj leaves her interest in Hargrave' to Holly Lockwood. Jean lVIcDaniel leaves to all future students of Latin her love for the subject. Helen Tully leaves her shy, reserved nature to Marion Meloney. Anne hffilteer leaves nothing, she is taking it with her. Joan Lagarde and Kathie Littlejohn leave their 9:30 to Io:oo o'clock Gymnasium to future Stratford acrobats. Jane Austin leaves the air she never got To any other Yankee who happens to be hot. She also leaves Sultzer and Thorpe, much to her regret. Jeanne Stowell leaves her reserved seat in Bradley's to Margaret Hancock. ' Margie Anderson leaves her heavy, heavy hangs over your heacli' bookshelf to anyone else with suicidal tendencies. To Miss Fitz-it is enough that we must leave her. Last but not least, we leave Miss Martin, our sponsor, our deepest gratitude for her grand coopera- tion and hard work for our class. Goodbye now-see ya' soon! 'ICLASS or '4l

Senior Jia!! History I am the Class of '41, and although I was a little under nourished when I was born four years ago, I at least had Nellie Lea, a permanent asset. Nellie began to see to it that I had financial backing, and she has done so faithfully during these four years. 'Things really began to brighten up when Marjorie Anderson came to the rescue. IVIargie took me in hand, and between the two of them-Nellie and Margie I had a substantial nucleus for future development. Maybe with that as a starter, I might yet burst into my rightful heritage. At the age of three, I began to take on more shape and form when Barbie Adams, -Ieanniev Clark, Carolyn Lambeth, Parlay Parker and Blazie Hauton became a part of me. Barbie plunged headlong into things and came up a winner. She has been my leader for the past two years, and a very active and inspirational one at that. Njeannief' was another championg she walked right off with top honors in the badminton tournament that year. Blazie was given t.he cup at the Horse Show, and I entertained my older sister at a picnic. Thus, you have a minute picture of the things I accomplished when I was three. I struggled through that adolescent period and stood by watching my older sister, Class of 41, set out on her own in the world, wondering how I would be able to step into her shoes CI never dreamed they would be such a tight Htl and keep things going at home. I was wary of the situation confront- ing me, but now I have definite proof of the old adage, K'It's always darkest before the dawn , for dawn burst upon me like radiant sunlight the following September. I became complete, with the addi- tion of jane Austin, Buddy Fenichel, Rusty Kretschmar, Winifred Haywood, Joan Lagarde, 'fKathie Littlejohn, Scotty Spear, Doris Mayberry, Anne Milteer, Frances Richardson, School- helcl, Tully and Stowell. I can't resist calling to your attention a few of the honors which they brought me. First, there was jane, who won the tennis tournament and then turned around and won the bad- minton tournament. Not only that, but three-parts of me are in the May Court: jane, joan and Blazie, who is Maid of Honor. And for Mirth, there is Tully, who was Court Jester at Twelfth Night. As my last project before leaving, I undertook the Spring Planting Day program. There is much more which is worthy of praise, but Timz AlC17'CILt'.l' On, and I must not tarry too long. Now I find myself at the door, ready to say good-bye to those I leave behind, and fully equipped to step out and take my place in the world. I have definite ideas as to what each part of me wants to do and a few last treasures to leave to those who must some day follow me through this door. 4 -006
