CLASS PROPHECY
Ho hum! (yawns widely). I
don’t even want any breakfast this
morning after that complicated
dream last night. I don't Know
what could have made me dream
such a thing unless it was getting
that long letter from Sally yester
day. You remember Sally? Well,
she was a good friend of mine at
Chowan. I’m surprised she had
time to write me, she’s so busy be
ing Mrs. Emmitt Winslow and
helping run that chain of “Red’s”
cafes.
Well, slite must have set me to
thinking about my old classmates.
Anyway I dreamed about them all.
I wonder what they’re really do
ing. It would be funny if I struck
it right.
Lou Wilson was in religious
work—she did quite a bit of it in
College, and she was Secretary of
the Southwide Baptist Student
movement, making a speech at
Memphis. Kate (she was Lou’s
roommate) was a designer for
Monsieur Worth of Paris.
Then I could just see Merlee
as librarian at the huge desk in
the library of Congress. She had
taken to wearing spectacles and
was surrounded by books a foot
thick.
Can you imagine Ruth as a pub
lisher? Well that’s just what I
dreamed she was. She was con
nected with Ginn and Company,
and her latest publication was
“Twelfth Edition of the Model
Handbook for Modem Institu
tions.”
Mary Beale, of CCurse, was just
what we all expected—a singer.
She was singing in “Carmen” and
was also doing radio worki It
was she who revived tlie old fav
orite “Home On the Range.”
I remember Mayme once said
she was mighty fond of living in
parsonages. She must have been,
because that’s just where she was
still living, only now she was her
own mistress. Her little boy was
the model child wearing velvet
pants, and reciting scripture.
Sarah Storey was a good Latin
student and she was in Rome
conducting student tours and stu
dying the Latin Classics. I guess
she’s retracing the route that
Miss Banta used to tell about.
Our other Sarah was in quite
a different profession. She was
in newspaper work out West some
where, struggling along as Asso
ciate Feature Editor of the Kan
sas Star.” Strange to say, Sarah
was having lunch with Edith Rae,
who was doing secretarial work
for an outstanding law firm Car
ter, Martin and Carter in Kan
sas City.
I remember distinctly how
Edythe used to worry about her
French and Spanish classes. But
she must have liked them, because
I dreamed that she was spending
a year in Paris studying Modern
Languages.
Louise Lassiter was abroad too,
on a concert tour. She was wor
ried because she couldn’t bring
along her new baby grand piano,
a gift fro«i her second husband.
Elizabeth Brett was dietician in
a large and famous orphanage
whose superintendent was none
other than Adeline. It seemed
they were getting along famously
with their work, their institution

having been voted the most home
like in the South.
I wound up with Emily. You
know she was always back of
something or other. Well, you
should have seen her marching
along at the head of a group of
women. She was carrying a ban
ner labeled “Willing Workers of
the Woman’s Welfare.”
I’d really like to know where
all are and what they’re doing. I
think I’ll investigate and see if I
did dream right.
SERIES OF ONE-ACT
PLAYS IS ENDED
“Off Nags Head,” a one-aot
tragedy by Dangold MacMillan,
with a hi£itl:rical background a'fjd
setitilr.'g laid on ithe coast of North,
Carolina, which was presented in
the college auditorium Monday
night, May 5, under the direction
of Edythe Pearce, lended the series
of one-adt plays given by the play
production class during the yiear.
“Off Nags Head” is based on a
true sitory which makes it of vital
intenest to us, since ithe actual set
ting for the play is taken ocii the
sand duniss of Nags Head in North
Carolina. The roar of the surf
and the disltant clanging of the
beU buoy, which oooild be heard
throughout ithie play, added much
to the effectiveniess of the story.
The story gives something of
the life of Theodosia Burr, who
was thie victim of a ship that had
ibeisn robbed by some land pirates
in 1869. Due to her loss of friends
and loved ones, she had becomis
frantically ir/sane. The old fisher
man in whoas home she was liv
ing, gave !thlE doctor ijvho rad come
to see the sick wife some idea of
how “Nags Head” got its name.
At the lEnd of the play, because
her grief Was too heavy for her
to bear. Theodosia Buit ran inito
the ocean and was: drowned.
The charactiers of the play were:
The old fisherman, Arthur Ed
wards; The “Gal” his daughter,
Martha Seymour; The Sick Wo
man, the fisherman’s wife, Ruby
Edens; Tb? Doatar, Ben-y Cacke;
The Old Woman representing
Theodosia, Burr, Genevieve
Browini.
“Tides” by Georgs Midleton,
which was presented April 4, un
der the direction of Edith Rae
Daughtry, showed the quick tide
of s^ntimient that sweeps through
all the hearts of, America when
the “Call !to Arms” comes.
The characters were: Hilda
White, Marion Holloman; William
Whi'tie, Gurney Harrell; Wallace
White, Carey Harrell.
That girls can successfully play
■the role of men was seen when
i'lMy Lady’s Lace”, in which col
onial co^tumss were used, was
presented May 2, xmder the direc
tion of Lou Wilsoin Evans.
Janice Jenkins took the role of
Mynhur Comelie, Margaret Ear
ley as Jonhhur Jan, played the
pairt of of the suitor to the daugh
ter. Moeder Kciatye the Lacema-
ker, was played well “by Kate
Lawrence. Antye, his daughter
was played by Carmen Morgan.
The scene of the play was an
unusual setting in a garden of a
small Dutch house of aibout 1G60.
The costumes were alsio very much
in keeping witli the period of
1660.
How owe can be fooled into
thinking that a toucli of Indian
Summer means love, was sesn in
the play “Indian Summer” by
Meilhoc and Halery, which was
given April 25, under the direction
of Ruth Stephenson.
Maxine Hudgins played well
with her dramatic ability the role
of Adrienne, a little French Maid,
who comes to visit her aunt. Ma
dam Liberton. Carmen Morgan
easily adapted herself to the role
of Madam Liberlton, who is a ser
vant to Brequlville, a rich old
■man. Waliter Dudley played the
part 'af Brequelville. Noel, ne
phew of Brequelville, was piaye'd
by Nat Stephenson.
North Caricilina,” Rev. Oscar
Creech of Ahoskie, oni “Chowan
College a Kingdom Factor in
Eastern North Carolina,” and Dr.
McCuUoch spoke on the “Outlook
and Immediate Needs of Chowan
College.” He stated ithait the great
est need of the coileg-e was an en-
largemient of the situdcnt body and
if the student body is enlarged
there will be a need for another
girl’s dO'iTOitory and a boy’s dor
mitory. The purpose of the whole
car.iference was to present the fu
ture plans to the pastors and to
get thoir support and cooperation
in putting the plans through.
Thare was a half ^n haur open
forum just before the adjourn
ment.
The thinty-one pastors, three
trustees, and the six women of the
executive committee were guests
of the College at lunch.

vice's. He spoke on living the one
life that we have. Some of Mr.

that “a Christian can’t go along
and not couir.it for goodness with
out Christ. What one learns is
going to be the good things that
one does.” He gave as 'the doc
trine of life: “to walk in the way
of life—the narrow way.” Mr.
