As crisp fall winds replace the
caressing warmth of a summer
breeze, thoughts slowly, some
times unwillingly, turn toward
school or college. This year may
mean Betty Student’s life of a
scholar, maybe it will be her in
troduction to High school fresh
man days, or the beginning oi
her senior year.
But for many it will be the en
trance to college days—days that
are unequaled by any others yet
enjoyed. Each year those who
have been outstanding in the high
school and city head for higher
halls of learning, but always they
return to those they have known
and the places they have lived
and loved.
Miss Flora Mclver and Mise
June Andrews, seated top left, are
aspirants for Queens college
Flora will be remembered for her
accomplishments in the field of
voice, and June for her popularity
at the Hihg school dances.
Four young ladies who will add
much to the student body of the
colleges of their choice are Miss
Edna Matfees, Miss Katherine
Hunter, Miss DeLean Longley,
and Mies Betty Walter, pictured
seated top cente Eh. wtnaa rdeer
seated top center. Edna wears the
popular college attire of sweater,
blouse, skirt, and loafers. When
the school bell rings, ehe’ll enroll
in Goucher. Kay will be on her
way for High Point Junior col
lege, and, DeLean will take up
her studies at Randolph Macon.
Adding to the number ol Wilming
ton students that already swell
the halls of Wake Forest, Betty
will find her way over the “For
est' campus in the coming fall.
Although State seems to be their
choice from the pennant their
hanging, Mise Mary Anne Jenkins
' nd Miss Winifred Harriss will
become members of the students
body of Peace and Woman’s col
lege. Mary Anne served as a
drum majorette during her NHHS
days, and Winifred pounded the
typewriter in the guise of the
Teen-age Tattler to bring you all
the “Data” on “Disa”.
Flora MacDonald beckons the
beauty and talent of Miss Patty
Southerland, last year’s Co. A
sponsor of the local ROTC unit.
Patty, center left, suitcase ir
hand, seems ready for departure
On her way out—for the college
of her choice, Miss Jean Cross
center right, will join Kay Hunter
at High Point Junior college. Jear
was sponsor for the ROTC battal
ion, and an active member od the
annual Hi-Y ministrels.
The field of music at f loi©
MacDonald college will greatlj
benefit by the addition of Miss
Patty Jones who has made a
place for herself in the hearts oi
all who heard her—and on the
keyboards of every piano she
played. Patty, lower left, seems
eager and willing to face the days
that lie ahead—why not, when suc
cess is so certain?
Smiling, as always. Miss Diane
Costello will swell the rank ol
students enrolled at the Richmond
extension of William and Mary
college. Diane served as an editor
on the NHHS annpal, the Hano
verian, and added to all affairs
just by her presence.
Miss Sara Kay Jordan, who will
long be remembered as a very
favorite High school student,
plans to attend Mary Washington.
No other femimine member of
NHHS cgn claim quite as many
laurelfi as can Sara Kay—presi
dent of the student bpdy, May
Queen, cheerleader, an all-round
outstanding student.

A dash into the store, a hurried
visit to the dressmaker’s, a posted
order for gym shoes or riding jod
phurs, a sweep into the fashion
shop—all contribute to the gay
whirlwind of college preparations
as minor and major accomplish
ments in the line of 77- duty are
crossed off the gradually — most
gradually—shortening list. All in
dications of getting ready for
those days are pointing to the col
lege freshmen as mothers and
daughters work feverishly toward
a nearing deadline — a busy girl
with needle in hand dwarfed by
mounting piles of clothes and
bending over an article claiming
it with name tape and launcry
tag. And the activity coul^ hardly
be complete without the excite
ment of receiving that strange let
ter with the unfamiliar post mark,
unfurling wonderment of tne
roommate, and opening a preview
of the partner for the first year
as the introductorial correspond
ence commences. >
So here we are, nearly ready
to depart, brushing past memories
of high school and vacation, and
ladened with eagerness and as
surance of a great year ahead.
Forked paths lead us north,
south, and west, following Rachel
Cameron to Converse in Spartan
burg, who is accompanied by Bet
ty Yopp, also seeing Princess Stel
lings heading westward for
Stephens in Missouri; noticing
Maude Noe leaving for E.C.T.C.
in Greenville; and bidding fare
well to Sara Kay Jordan on her
way to Mary Washington in Fred
ericksburg. Rachel and Princess,
incidentally, have just been elect
ed to Spinsters.
Marilyn Goodman will be re
sponsible for the Blue Devil stick
ers on the car windshield as she
plans to head for Duke on Sep
tember 10, following in family
footsteps.
Little doubt arises that the fel
las at Davidson will regret the
opening of the school door swhen
Flora Mclver and June Andrew*
arrive at nearby Queens for *
year where they plan to room to
gether; and the dance, parties,
and free week-ends which spice
the months away at school will
surely be enlivened by these two
lassies. Their departure i3 sched
uled around Septembr 9.
Not too far away Patty Southr
land and Patty Jones will keep
the study lamps burning at Flora
MacDonald where they are to be
roommates. Ann Jordan also in
tends to spend the arising school
months beneath the Flora Mac
roof, and the three hometowners
will arrive at the school on Sep
tember 15.
Skies look down on the well
traveled highway upward through
the statp when September 15 rolls
around, as the steady stream of
traffic moves towards points north
when hometowners journey to
schools of their choice.
Mary Anne Jenkins will claim
“journey’s end” when the capitol
city is sighted; and once insida
Raleigh, she will step off at Peace
college, at which she will enter a*
a freshman.
Some of the traffic will move
over to Wake Forest where Betty
Walter, Marjorie Batson, and
Mary Reynolds will settle until
first holidays are announced. In
cidentally, Mary’s roommate for
the year is Beverly Neilson, a
Greenville lass, who once upon a
time lived in Wilmington, and who
has just returned home after com
pleting a tour of the United State*
this summer.
Beverly moved away^ long b*
