'lllll Illl Senior flu!! Will Now that the year is over we, the Senior Hall Class of '43, leave this will of memories and unforgotten times. We wish the girls that follow in our footsteps the best of luck and the most of everything. A bouquet of orchids goes to Miss Pannill, to whom we owe our sincere gratitude for the endless hours she has spent to make us all the ideal Stratford student. As for the faculty we hope the Class of ,43 will prove to be a lighter burden upon the shoulders of you all-if possible? At last the time has come to take a glance up the stairway of the past.

F03 1943 Virginia Marshall is the star in the new radio show, W'hy Don't You Do Right P co- starring John Murray, The Victor Mature of 7S3'7? Mariori Nleloney is married to WVarren, New York's most eminent surgeon. Marion spends her spare time designing pink and blue operat- ing gowns for her husband. Gloria Gersh has started her own Letters to the Lonely bureau. If we remember cor- rectly, she made an excellent start back at Stratford. Mary Picket, after many years of struggle, has finally advanced from sweetheart of Cl1icago's public enemy no. 2 to wife of public enemy no. If' Carter Boatwright has given up her dancing career to marry Russell Newton, her old fiame of '43. She is now engrossed in designing her own home on her new lake at Dan's Hill. Jean Boze, this year, was awarded a cup for having attended more midwinters at William and Mary than anyone else. Isabel Lewis' horse, ':Stratford,,' has just won the Kentucky Derby. It was trained on her private estate at Darlington, S. C. Mae Murray has remained in Danville and is now the wife of Mr. Fuller. A strange coin- cidence is that Mr. Fuller is now working with the Brush Company of the same name. Jacqueline Brill is still living in New York City but now has her own apartment and is Saks' top designer of long-tailed shirts for girls. Gene Ray, now Mrs. john Minor, was re- cently elected president of the Alumnae Asso- ciation and is doing all in her power to further the Student Activity Bill. Priscilla Mitchell has turned her Greens- boro estate into a U. S. O. center for the men stationed at the air base there. Co-working with her is Carolyn Cunningham who is in charge of enlisting the entertainment of the men's favorite movie stars. The men are sur- prised to find that more actors than actresses are appearing on their programs. jean Yarboro, lier husband and her two children have recently moved to a new pent C31l house on Riverside Drive. Her husband in a statement to the press said, I owe my success to my wife. Faith Liberman is this year entering VVelles- ley as a freshman, Latin having been omitted from the entrance requirements for the first time. Addie Stanley, now one of Stratford's alumnae, annually awards the Stanley cup to the student who has attended Stratford the greatest number of years. Barbara Reich, now Nlrs. VVelly Goddin, is the owner of one of Richmond's most exclusive woman's shops. Rumor has it that Barbara designs for Nirs. Roosevelt, who incidentally is still in the W'hite House. Mildred Miro is now ofiicially head of the publicity department of Holy Cross. Even back in '43 the general opinion was that this would be her career. Jane-Arthur Etheridge has just published her most successful collection of verse, Mem- ories of Stratford. We are unable to judge this work fairly as we have read only two of the six volumes. Pat O'Connor has recently discovered an injection making possible the painless removal of tonsils. She used her own experience at the Danville Memorial Hospital as a basis for her research. The numerous and seemingly pointless questions that Camilla Ray asked during her year at Stratford have finally been turned to a useful purpose. Cootie is now managing an information booth at the Naval Training Station at Norfolk. Anne Wilson is making a lecture tour through South America lecturing on How to Speak Spanish and as her most efficient secretary we find Margery W'yatt. jean Trevvett, now treasurer of the W. D.- U. A. CWives of the Duke University Alumnaej seems to be just as efficient balancing the books of this organization as she was for the Senior Hall Class in 1943. Susan Leitch and Bob Anne Beasley, having discovered their writing ability while doing the Senior Class Prophecy, believe that they will be among the world's most noted humorists. The rest of the world, however, has its doubts.
