vessel constituted the labor of a
life-time. For within the gla^, a
portion of ability to not only fcire-
tell but to see the future rested.
Grasping at any possible oppor
tunity, the prophet downed the con
tents of the bottle, thanked her
friend, and thought nothing about
the whole affair, except that the
bottle must contain some strong
vitamin solution or a dose of
“Retonga”—designed to liven up
any old soul.
After arriving at her destination
and eating a good supper, the
prophet decided a night’s rest
would enable her to work much
better on the following morning.
However, during the night a strange
thing happened. The prophet was
suddenly awakened to find herself
gazing out on the world of I960,
which lay bare before her very
eyes. Without a moment’s hesita
tion she grabbed pencil and paper,
and began taking notes on the
scene which presented itself.

And as Rebecca’s talk slowly
fades in the backgroimd, Beth Dea
ton, supervisor of Medical secre
taries at the Mayo Clinic in Ro
chester, Minn., walks down the
steps with her famous fiance, the
::hief “gastric-achlorohydrios” con
sultant of the staff.
And demonstrating her recently
established record as the fastest
typist in the world is Rachel Cur-
lee, who every day performs for
large audiences in Madison Sauare
Garden, and in off hours, types
term papers for Queens girls.
The Queens Campus suddenly
comes into view and the latest ap
pointee to the faculty tip-toes down
the library steps. Miss Harrill’s new
successor is none other than Mary
Ella Klutz, who for years was head

In a small S. C. town, there is a
big celebration tonight. Dr. and
Mrs. William Ross (Kitty Crane)
and Mr. and Mrs. Tom Cartwright
are entertaining at a fifteenth wed

group are Dr. and Mrs. Robert
Broadway (M. K. McArthur), Mr.
and Mrs. Bob Kirkland (M. J. Pat
terson), Mr. and Mrs. Robert Carr
(F. Craven), and Mr. and Mrs.
Niven Rice (Telle Darrow)—all
successful members of the fifteen
year club. Little does Mrs. Cart
wright, that former hand book
expert, realize that Tommy, Jr.,
has hi-jacked his parents’ car,
picked up little Kitty Ross, Bobby
Broadway, and Sisie Rice, and driven
out to the cemetery on a “sparkin’’

The staff of Presbyterian Hos

Last Will And
Testament Of
The Class Of '46
We, the undersigned of the class
of 1946, being safe and sound in
body and mind, we hope, do de
clare this to be our last will and
testament and do bequeath to our
successors the following cherished
possessions:
I, Elinor Ellwanger, leave my mid
night visitors and so-called in
firmary “visiting hours” to whom
soever shall be brave enough to
undertake the long vigil of nurse,
I, Betty Morrow, bequeath all
rights to that much quoted slogan
“Where are you going ....
youth?” to Ella Dunbar who has
been its most ardent interpreter
during the past year.
I, Doris Skirrow, leave my one-
third interest in the professional
trio of Barber, Skirrow, and Tur-
er to the other two thirds of the
aforementioned trio to invest as
they see fit and as they think
will most benefit the name of this
venerable organization.
I, Helen Potter, leave my French
conversation class never to return
to it again.
I, Virginia Jackson, leave all
rights to week-end visits from med
ical students to Eleanor Huske.
I, Carolyn Hobson, entrust to
Lucy Pate the tradition of an
nouncing her engagement after the
Boar’s Head dinner.
I, Estelle Darrow, leave the ranks
of the Naval Air Corps admirers
to enter those of the students of
the University of North Carolina—
with Nevin, of course.
I, Libby Andrews, leave to future
House Presidents of South Dormi
tory exclusive rights to midnight
feasts and gab sessions, after-
hours phone calls, and Christmas
surprise parties.
We, Helen Davis and Elnora An
derson leave our innocent and an
gelic expressions to Emily Kimrey
and Joanne Macaulay who have
already exercised them this year.
I, Joyce Clark, leave my church
choir work to Doris Turner, a
worthy successor.
I, Kitty Crane, leave my housing
difficulties in Davidson to Winkle
Williams who, I surmise, will soon
find out for herself, as did, that
there is definitely a housing short
age.
I. Sarah Jo Crawford, leave my
ability to make noise after lights
and get away with it to Suzanne
Blaclmon who has already had
considerable personal instruction in
this fine art.
I, Beth Deaton, leave my trips
up north and extended week-ends
to Anne Leila Jackson who has al
ready been making good use of
them. >
I, Mary Lee Flowers, leave my
red convertible to Anne Tuttle,
Louise Johnson, and Laura Martin
who have helped me to keep the
seat leather warm in my jaunts
between Charlotte and points in
South Carolina.
I, June Holder, leave my reserved
seat in the library to Laura Eager
in hopes that she will use it often
and pass it on to a future genera
tion for reading and research.
I, Charloqe K9v. leave my love
for animels to Betty Jean Boo-
ream, Alice Gray Tharpe, and
Betsy Jackson who have already
displayed their feelings on this
subject by the tender and “sweet-
smelling” cere rendered to Harry,
their adopted tattle-tale gray ter
rier.
I, Mary Kathryn McArthur, leave
mv Sunday niglit tete-a-tetes with
Robert at the sorority house to
Betty Austin and Wally.
I, Mary McGill, leave my lin
guistic ability to Ann Perry, who
shows promise of following, not in
mv footsteps, but in my finger-
nrints upon the pages of many
French novels.
I, Martha Venning, leave the
-uick-drying ability of my hair to
Mary Jane McBrayer and Betty
Jean Smith who have real need
of it since their hair-dryer is in
almost constant use by their
friends.
