MORTALS BECOME ANGELS
Superlalives
by Corenia Smithson
For days students had been going to
classes unprepared because of continuous
interruptions during study period.
Every student svas asking the same
question, “Who got it”, and always there
was the same answer, “We have to vote
again.”
Finaily, that long awaited moment came
when would be known the outcome of our
votes. There was a stir of excitement
through the student body, then a hushed
expectancy. Then THEY were announced.
In the SUN DIAL each year there are
four Superlatives who are chosen from the
Senor Class. The following verse is the
basis for the title of each Superlative.
“And Jesus increased in wisdom, and
stature, and in favor with God and man.”
Kathy Rash, who is from Glade Valley,
North Carolina, has been chosen as a stu
dent who finds Joy in Learning. She is
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sherman
Rash.
“Sportsmanship” is represented by Betty
Raye Mobley. She is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. James Mobley of Chester, South
Carolina.

sent True Spiritual Vision. Dr. and Mrs.
John Luke are her parents. They are
from Glendale Springs, North Carolina.
Mrs. Garlene Stutts has been chosen for

Are you the type of person who loves
and longs for the mysterious side of life?
Do you ever feel like putting on a “Trench”
coat and playing “Sandra Spade”? If so,
then this passing week of playing “Angels
and Mortals” has been an exciting one
to you.
However, I hope that you’re not the
“party pooper” type of mortal who has
already found out who her angel is. If
you are, then thumbs down to you.
Did someone timidly knock on your
door at an inconvenient time, but hearing
your sweet feminine voice scream “come”,
whisk away down the hall so fast that
you caught only a glimpse of crooked
wings? No guess work about it, that was
your chief clothes presser, sock washer,
and supplier of goodies for the week or,
in more familiar terminology, it was your
angel.
Who minds that tiny scorched place on
a white blouse, or what harm does a few
extra thousand calories do? They all come
because of the goodness of your angel’s
heart.
Most of you mortals have been pretty
obliging. Certainly you didn’t want your
angel to grow lazy, so you felt it your
“mortal” duty to keep her supplied with
such insignificant tasks as mopping your
floor, changing your bed linens, washing
your rugs, and cleaning your bathroom,
ad infinitum.
If complete strangers (people from the
other dorm) have been visiting you, bring
ing some token of friendship, don’t get
any sneaking suspicions. These girls were
just on errands of mercy, helping your
angel with her duties.
In closing, girls, if you come home at
some inopportune time of the day and
