IN HIG A H SPIRITS WE BEGI NEW YEAR AT SUL N LINS We arrive — and eagerly await our friends. In turning through one of Miss Miller ' s history books, we see that In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue. Of more recent importance, we see in turning through Sampler 1939 that In September ' 38, Sullins opened her gate. There was also Miss Turner, an old girl back to assist in music; Mrs. Burns and her talkative daughters; Miss Simmons; Miss Mast; Miss Goodman; and Mr. Martin. Or is it Admiral Martin? Down through the ages — There ' must be some mistake, for now it seems like mere days since September fourteenth. But then, in retrospect, we find that it has been ages — well, nine school months is a part of ages. It is these ages that make our pages. a word she says. I call her Floyd Gibbons, are heard. From the other half comes the complaint, My roommate is from Georgia. I was late to din- ner waiting for her to tell me that the bell had rung. The confusion, bustle, and excited spirits lasted far into the night. Martha Donald, Nancy Peebles, and Mary Jane Aston helped it along by get- ting in at two-thirty in the morning. Thus was laid the scene for the Mrs. Cowden, I want you to meet Martha Donald episode. Our newcomers included not only students but many hostesses and teachers. There was Miss Lampkin, who gave Sullins a compliment the first day she was here by saying that this school has the friendliest spirit of any school which she had attended or visited. Through these gates came not only the most beautiful girls in the world — quote courtesy Ziegfield — but girls from all over the country. The railroad station and the front hall took turns at being the greatest scene of confusion. Number forty-eight, commonly known as the three o ' clock train, brought back scads of old girls and more new ones. Wasn ' t it great to see some of those back who were so positive last May that they wouldn ' t be back? The new girls were a sight with tears in their eyes and bouquets of flowers in their arms. Shall we ever forget Audrey Buchanan ' s bunch? After getting out to the college, each one became her roommate ' s chief topic of interest. Frequent cries of My roommate ' s a Yankee, and I can ' t understand dr. and Mrs. Martin greet us. Page 23
