Senior Hi-Light
By EDNA BOSWELL
The big event in the Senior Calen
dar last week was a reception given
by the Class of ’54 in honor of the
Seniors’ parents. The school cafeteria
was decorated in red and white crepe
paper, pine and lighted candles. At
7:30 the parents were greeted by the
Senior Class officers and members of
the faculty. A short musical pro
gram was presented by the Treble
Clef Club. Nuts, mints, cake and
punch were served during the course
of the evening. After the reception
an informal dance was enjoyed by the
Seniors.
This year, as in the past, the Senior
reporter plans to present each week a
profile of a Senior girl and boy. This
week we introduce to you two out
standing Sepior members, Marjorie
Webb and Clifford Overman.
Marjorie, bom July 5, 1936, in Cho
wan County, is the daughter of Mrs.
Grace Webb. She participates in
numerous school activities, is presi
dent of the Beta Club and holds the
proud position of president of the
student body. Besides Earl, her main
interest is horses. Upon finishing
school Marjorie plans to enter the
field of business administration.
Clifford, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. W.
Overman, was bom March 22, 1936.
Playing football and being president
of the Senior Class keeps him pretty
busy, although once in a while he
finds time to write to St. Mary’s.
Next Fall he will go to State College.

Hathaway Body Moved \
From Old Cemetery 11
(Continued From, Page One)
Street, now owned and occupied by ’
Mrs. B. F. Francis. He was a mem- j
. ber of the Methodist Church, having '
i joined in 1849. •
The casket in which the deceased J
< was buried was molded to conform to
, the body, which gave it a mummy-like '
; appearance compared with the mod- ;
, em caskets of today. It was of cast !
■ iron, 6 feet 9 inches long, 24 inches ;
across the shoulders, 10 inches across :
the head, 17 inches high at the head, :
: 15 inches at the middle and 13 inches
| at the feet.
Over the head was an oval disc of
, cast iroh, which swung around on a
pivot revealing a thick plate of glass
. over the face. The glass measured 10
inches in length and 6 inches wide.
| It was remarkable how freely the disc
swung away from the head of the cas
, ket .after being in the ground for 96
years. There was no corrosion or
sticky substance afong the edge of the
plate, but dirt and corrosion was
prominent underneath the glass, mak
ing it impossible to see into the cas
ket.
The bottom and top of the casket
appeared to have been cast in a mold
. and were bolted together at intervals
' of about 7 inches all the way around.
There were six cast iron handles,
three on each side, and the top of
the casket was cast to resemble folds
like a drapery. It was very heavy.
; Tradition says it was borne to Mr.
Hathaway’s first resting place by his
slaves, it being too heavy to be car
