Class Prophecy of ' 29 TWENTY YEARS HENCE ' Where, oh where are the grave old seniors? They ' re safe in the wide, wide world. Bernice Avett ' s dark eyes enslaved Morgan Driskell and the minister said the words. They are keeping- house in a beautiful little bungalow with a pink rambler over the door. Hazel Burchette is a globe trotter and lecturer of international fame. She loves to talk, and her lectures are of unending delight to both her audiences and herself. Herald Ballard is known as the Daniel Webster of his age. His propensity for argument led him to the bar, and he practices law in Chicago. Dora Blanton? Oh, she ' s Mrs. Burton ' league, charming wife of Senator Teague, you know. Dora says she likes being a Senator ' s wife, very much indeed. Mary Grace Baldwin has won the love and confidence of the Chinese with whom she has worked for many years. With her Madonna-like face and gentle voice Glennie Coman cheers and aids her husband, the Reverend Hite Helms, that famous Methodist minister, in the great work he is doing-. As a grave professor at Chapel Hill, Louise Hartfield is making the road toward higher math- ematics especialy delightful to her pupils. Ruth Hansen is living- in Cuba now. Cuba and the delightful people who live there were always her specialty. Of course, she married one of the charming Cubans. Inez Fincher, who used to delight the student body of Weaver with her comical sketches of a long-suffering faculty, is America ' s foremost humorist. Her comedies are being - put on the stage in all parts of the world. Of course Ernestine Fincher is a school ma ' am. She is president of Vassar, and has more college and university degrees than she can remember. Herschel Hipps and Margaret Noland set up rival business firms, but they decided they could do better by pooling their resources. They are now at the head of one of the largest firms in America. Olive Jones is foreig-n correspondent for the New York Times. She has been unusually suc- cessful, and no wonder-for when she turns her clear gray eyes on a News prospect, he gives up and eagerly tells her all his past history and his future hopes and aspirations. Maye Kennedy and Thelma Nesbitt have gained lasting fame as violinists. Their violin duets are received with great enthusiasm b y vast audiences both in Europe and America. Ralph Kennedy is the owner and editor of the best newspaper in North Carolina. He is a great political power and is seriously thinking- of run- ning- for President in the next presidential cam- paign. Elmer Latham owns a three-thousand acre ranch in Wyoming and practices on the cows the declamations and speeches he springs on his col- legues in the State Senate. Ashevi lie ' s most successful attorney, Halsey B. Leavitt, Jr., has just moved into his new office in the Flat Iron building, which he has purchased from the profits of his fees made in the Kennedy vs. Weaver College case. There is a beautiful little chapel in the Blue Ridg-e Mountains, that is known as the most won- derful piece of modern architecture in the world.

She founded the Weaver Observatory and has declared, after much star gazing, that con- trary to the general impression it is her opinion that Mars is not inhabited. Her statements are given world-wide consideration. Ruth Parker is running a beauty shop that is patronized by all those who would be beautiful but are not. Ruth has discovered an infallible preventive and cure for grouches of long stand- ing. Bill Zimmerman is considered the greatest composer of music since the time of Beethoven. The energy with which he can bang on the piano is second to that of none, and he still talks incessantly. Harvey Robinson has become the world ' s greatest lover on the silver screen.
