Senior flu!! History is Tllll llil ---- ry Upon receiving their orders for September, 1939, five eager, young enlistees reported for duty at Stratford. With Gene Ray in com- mand, assisted by Jean Yarboro, Carter Boat- wright, Isabel Lewis, and Addie Stanley, much was accomplished by these members of a squad. The lirst medal came on October Day when we marched off the field with the winning banner. Our status increased the next year with Jean Boze, Virginia Marshall, and Marion lvleloney as new supporters. The third year Barbara Anne Beasley, Anita Lou Davenson, Suzy Leitch, Mary Pickett, and Faith Liberman, were added to the roll call. Finally promoted to Senior Rank in our last round of training, we had many eventful times. Our enlistment had now become a large com- pany. The new recruits from Virginia were Jean Trevvett, Barbara Reich, Joyce Evans, and hlae Murray, Tar Heels of North Carolina, Camilla Ray, and Priscilla Nlitchellg from New York, Carolyn Cunningham, Gloria Gersh, Nlildred Miro, and Pat O'Connor, and sunny Florida, Jane-Arthur Etheridge. Bob Anne Beasley was honorably made all- star commander-in-chief, and ably assisted on her staff by hilary Pickett, Virginia Nlarshall, Jean Trevvett, and Mae Murray. November quickly rolled around and Bob Anne and Isabel Lewis admirably represented our ability by giving toasts at the Founders' Day Banquet. Joyce Evans played tricks on us and Jane-Arthur Etheridge turned into an old maid in the fall play, Quality Streetf' We were proud to have Marion Meloney as the lovely Madonna of the annual Christmas Nativity. Virginia Nlarshall and Isabel Lewis also had parts in this traditional pageant. When we returned after the holidays we were pleased to find two new volunteers, lvlarjorie Wyatt and Anne Wilson. Good English week adorned us with new awards when Isabel Lewis' poster ranked highest, Jane-Arthur Etheridge received first honors in the English Contest, and our tags, of wings keeping Good English Flying, were honorably mentioned. VVe seniors went all out for the annual hlagazine Contest and came up as class winner, with Gene Ray meriting individual honors. Spring came and we sponsored the traditional Spring Planting Day. Our dramatists became sophisticated in, The Opera, one of the spring plays. Our own Barbara Reich was chosen to be Maid of Honor in the May Court, and three more beauties, Marion Meloney, Virginia Marshall, and Gene Ray, were also in the court. Our training has now come to an end, and we must try our new-found wings for stronger and better things for this world. Happy Landing! Senior Hall Prepheey As the immortal poet, Shakespeare, once put it- All the worldb' cz Jtage And all the 'men and women merely players: They have their exit! and their entrancerj And one man in hir time play: many pczrtr, Hir act: being reaeu ages. We, the members of the Senior Hall, Class of '43, have just finished an act and now are ready C307 to make another entrance-this time into the world. Let us look forward to the year, 1953, and see what we will be doing then. Anita Lou Davenson is now married to Dougie and they have just bought a larger estate to make more room for ':Nita's col- lection of Dougie's pictures. Joyce Evans is now Blacksburg's most well- known track star. She got her training run- ning after Mac back in '43.
