The Juniors wish the Seniors a fond farewell at the Daisy Chain. We spent our last night together just kind of reminiscing, trying to crowd so many things into our last times together. We looked at our trunks but didn’t have the heart to begin packing. We leafed through our annuals and had our friends sign their pictures and leave us little notes that would later be a sentimental part of our memories. I don’t remember sleeping at all— there was too much to talk about. The Last Day There were many memories in that last day. Remember our Baccalaureate service at the State Street Methodist Church in the morning? It gave us new inspiration for the days soon to follow. In the afternoon we took our parents to the Mar- tin’s home for our last tea together. Daisy Chain Sunday evening brought us many tears. Remember the feeling we had as we sang our songs and solemnly watched as Poagy, Polly, and Dot gave their caps and gowns to their successors as Student Council president, Senior class president, and Editor- in-chief of the Sampler. Nothing could change the sentiment of that event. We saw the symbolic ivy planted, and we sang the Alma Mater — “On the hill stands Sullins College ’Neath fair skies of blue, May she ever stand so proudly, Glorious to view. Through her halls the echoes linger Of our college days, Comradeship and love and courage, Loyalty and praise. The May Festival and Academy Graduation are held in the amphitheater. Dearest Sullins in her glory Ever be our pride, And her name we’ll ever cherish, Spread it far and wide. Lift the chorus, speed it onward, Over hill and dale, Hail to thee, Our Alma Mater, Hail to thee, all Hail!” It was our “Good-bye” to Sullins, for soon we would receive those long awaited diplomas and cer- tificates and flip our tassels to the other side. Our invitations had read, “The Senior Class, The President and Faculty of Sullins College request the honour of your presence at the Seventy-eighth Com- mencement Exercises May the thirtieth, nineteen hundred forty-eight, Bristol, Virginia.” Now ' it was here. We heard the commencement message and heard Dr. Martin tell us that we were the best senior class Sullins College had ever graduated. It’s “Good-bye” to one thing and Hello” to another; but we carry much of the old with us for- ever, for wdio could forget days so full of fun and friendship? I w ' on’t and you won’t. So though we sing, “Farewell, Sullins, faithful and true,” we’re saying that we’ll always remember “the best years of our lives.” At the Daisy Chain, the Seniors bequeath their responsibilities, along with their caps and gowns, to the Juniors.

feature of Senior Week. and just played in general. It wasn ' t quite all that gay though— we couldn’t forget that soon we’d be leaving, and the parting was even more in our thought as we walked into chapel each morning in caps and gowns singing, “Hail, Sulims College, faithful and true. I don’t think I was alone with a lumpy throat. That week brought the morning in chapel that all the I lome Ec. students look forward to— when they can model the clothes they have made for us all to see. e were proud of many of our friends when we saw w hat they had done. Barbara Hill showed us what a tall girl can do with clothes. Libber, Natalie, Char, and Jeanne made us mights proud too! And Chu— she just looked darling! It ' s sure!} going to be hard to get used to not having her around next rear. The whole style show was cleverly presented, and it certain!} ' was proof of their skill and originality. The Art Exhibit on the last Thursday was really an accomplishment. Those girls worked hard all year on main things. It’s hard to believe that the} ' had time to turn out the masterpieces that the} ' did. The exhibit included the works of quite a few of our seniors — Martha Jean Boswell, Betty Lou Hardin, Frances Moore, Jane Osier. Rita Shaw, Mary Elizabeth Drake, Mimi Hoyt, True!} McGinley, Char Weather- ley, Ellen Pritchett, Julia Tanner, Jams Hale, and Georgia Hammett. Mr. Loomis gave his Vesper Organ Recital on Thursday evening. When lie plays, it honestly makes you feel a part of the music. Friday the May festival in the outdoor theater on the back campus revealed to us the beauties of the Senior Class of 1948. The queen. Beck} ' Pritchard, was simply beautiful, and she and her attendant, Frances Moore, followed the court parade. They’re both beautiful brunettes, and it was an impressive moment when Fran placed the crown on Becky’s head. We ' re right proud of the fact that our court had not only beaut} ' but brains as well. The court was honored by the May Da} ' Ballet that followed. ' l ire end of the Ballet brought a sad moment for the girls who would be leaving. We were really going to miss those ballet lessons with “Hardy,” and all the good times we’d had together. We said a sorrowful good-bye in our hearts as the Candle-light Service of the Academy took place on the front lawn. They sang their songs dedicated to each other and to the school, and in the cool evening formed their impressive candle-light figures. The next day they became alumnae in our amphi- theater. 4 lie} ' all wore the traditional long white dresses and carried huge bouquets. The annual horse show caused a big stir on the campus. Honestly, Dr. Martin is so proud of his equestriennes. We were all there cheering our friends to victor}. Everybody looked good! The exhibition riding was marvelous, and of course, the contests kept us on edge. I came back a little hoarse from veiling so loudly for my roommate. The Commencement Play was marvelous this vear! It’s always hard to find a play for girls, but the Dramatic Art Department has succeeded.
