Page 4 THE DIALETTE May, 1949 Drip Water, California June 7, 1959. My dearest Lou; I suppose that after ten years the scrapbook you are keeping for the seniors is filled with many exciting happenings in the lives of the 49’ers. To bring the record up to date here are some juicy bits that I have collected. It is, however, a difficult task to get my thoughts together with the radio going full blast. GINNY WOOD, as you know, has replaced Judy Canova and, at the present, is booming away on an old time favorite, “I let my heart fall into careless hands.” PAT COX has just opened a studio in New York City where she uses her poise, graciousness, and charm in instructing the ballet, how ever, the Olive >Oyl is still her most popular dance. I was astonished to read in the Raphine News that MISS ELIZ ABETH MILLER is visiting the Public Schools of Virginia giving lectures on Love, Courtship and Marriage. As we all prophesied. Lib turned out an old maid!!!!!!!! I have an advertisement that I am enclosing from the PROGRES SIVE FARMER of the McMULLEN Success Course, guaranteed to make you more charming, gracious, and beautiful or your money re funded. Edie is a real example of the success of the course. SYLVIA, the intellectual member of the class, is now Dean of Women at an English Institute in Havana. This is thought to be the only school in which the students rule the teachers with a hand of iron CAREY LEE has proved that beauty and brains do mix. She has been voted “Queen of Hearts” for the state of North Carolina. Due to the radiant beauty and blushes of the Queen, the films of these pictures turned into technicolor. It was a happy day for Montreat College when ETHEL LEE BRITT accepted the position as librarian. Montreat is proud of this new addition, for she now posseses the only library with a walking encyclopedia. MILDRED JONES went to Atlanta where she runs a kindergarten of twenty-five children. Requirements for entry are at least one hand some elder brother. Miss “Hones'” gives special courses in penmanship. BETTY WHITTLE has gone far in the field of Home Economics. She is the best cook in Orangeburg County where her little Ham burger stand is most popular. It was always suspected that Betty would reach her goal! VICTORIA, a blushing bride, just wrote me that she was recently in Montreat on her honeymoon. She and the lucky groom enjoyed very much their moonlight cruises on Lake Susan. By the way, Lou, she told me that as she passed by Miss Hoyt’s office one day she went in to speak to her and was surprised to find you in her place. She said you were doing an excellent job, and that you had complete control over your classes as you stood before them with a history book in one hand and a six-shooter in the other. You certainly deserve your nickname “Two-Gun Louie!” Miss Hoyt is doing very well for herself since leaving Montreat. I suppose everyone knows by now that she was called to Hollywood to give a few dramatic lessons to some of the stars who had much to learn from her — Clark Gable, Lana Turner and Ingrid Bergman. PAULINA is really going places these days. She is kept pretty busy traveling over North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. Polly let her love for offices take over. She repairs every piece of office equipment in these three states!, I don’t believe there is an adding machine or a typewriter which does not know the healing and loving touch of her hand. Well, enough for now of the 49’ers. Think I’ve touched upon hap penings in the lives of each. As for myself, I am now married to LeRoy. Wo are the proud parents of triplets (LoRoy, Jr., Corduroy, and Kil- roy.) Lou, I am looking forward to the class reunion next year, and can hardly wait to see everyone. My love to you for now, always, Anne. CAUGHT IN THE ACT! By Maggie Washburn I took a walk the other day Along a quiet country way. hoped to find some peace of mind— But that, alas, was not designed! Just as I started down the road I thought I spied a hopping toad. But upon a close examination I found but EDIE in elation. I greeted her, and turned way To seek once more the quiet day When I noticed an elf behind a thistle— ‘Twas VICKIE piping on a whistle. This funny sight caused me to giggle. And then among the leaves, a wiggle Made m§ look closer at the ground Where I saw LOU VAUGHT just playing around. As it was morn, and my spirits were light, I wondered what next would greet my sight; I looked up into a new-green tree And perched on a branch was CAREY LEE. I shook my head, and made a vow Never to question what seniors do now. When around a curve in the path I met LIB, with a yellow bird for a pet. Sitting astride a log with ANNE, Telling stories of real life, and man. What new marvel will be next? Is it midsummer, or is the wood hexed ? I wondered more when I saw PAULINA Typing away on a concertina. No! Oh, no! There can’t be more. But I knew not what was next in store. For up on a hill overlooking the view Stood the well-known figure of ETHEL BLUE, Grasping a shuffleboard cue in each hand. Declaiming on the lay of the land. At her feet, with her legs propped on some stones Lay the inert figure of MILD RED JONES. Below this pair, ’neath an oak tree stood That imposing creature - GIN NY WOOD.
