The memory of Myrtle’s efficiency passed away before I was conscious of one standing before me in all the glory and honor of his position, Carlton Key, now secretary of agriculture, with Kenneth Overstreet as his assistant. And behold the Spirit of Prophecy beckoned to me and I followed. In the distance I spied a care worn woman pushing a baby carriage down the street. She was forced to halt a moment for the four little boys who were following her were engaged in fighting. Something vaguely familiar about the woman caused me to draw near, and to my surprise I recognized Louise Dooley who had married soon after her graduation. And verily, as I beheld this scene thereat, thinking, “Aye, even’ so shall it straightway come to pass with each and all of us,” lo, the scene faded away, the veil was drawn over mine eyes shutting out my vision the Things to Be, and I turned mine eyes to the Things that are, sure that as ‘“‘coming events cast their shadows,” before only goodness and truth and prosperity shall follow all the days that are to come to the fair and talented members of the Class of 1930. } [21] LEE ERE RE RE RE GRR RR RR ee RRL RLELELERLEREZRERERREZRAZREZRER ERLE RRR RR RERERERE a ae a ae a a a at Oat a ae a ae ae ate Oke Pak Se Oe Pe Ses ae RR

a aaa errr aS SEBS While I pondered these things in my heart, the door of a home swung open before my vision, and I found there in a household made happy by a wife and mother who had found her greatest ambition in the highest of all worldly vocations, the maker and keeper of the home. Verily my soul rejoiced as I gazed my last upon Florence Fuqua. | followed my Spirit of Prophecy farther on the quest of things to be. Next I saw the interior of a hospital as I walked down the hall I saw three members of the class of 1930, Thelma Ayers, Hilda Miles, and Margaret Moseley, immaculately dressed in nurse’s uniforms. After I had watched the lights of the hospital fade in the distance, I found myself in a large theatre. A thundering applause made me wonder who the successful entertainers were. With one glance at the stage, I recognized “Tatty”? and “Watermelon,” black comedians. My attention was suddenly directed to a gentleman, dressed in the height of fashion, with a cane on his arm, stepping from an expensive looking car. My Guiding Spirit whispering to me that that was ‘‘Johnnie’? Maupin, but who is still very much worried over his love affairs, but does not have time to straighten them out as he is working on a debate, “Resolved that women should propose to men.”’ But hark, rhythmic sounds of marching in the distance. On close in- spection I discovered a great military formation in progress. I was quite overcome to see Teaford Hatcher now a successful major, reviewing Bedford Home Guards while at home on a leave of absence. Next I happened to find myself in the office of Jasper Stanley now the successful director of a motion picture. I was interested to hear of the new picture just released, “lhe Handsome Lover’’ starring Sherman [Franklin and Lois Updike, acclaimed the most popular actor and actress of the day. Again the scene shifted and I was within a very fashionable beauty establishment, ‘The Elizabethan Parlor’ run by Elizabeth Hardy. I was quite surprised to find [Elizabeth Overstreet and Elizabeth Cheatham her assistants. The Harvard football field appeared before me in all of its glory. I saw a young man hurriedly carrying water to the exhausted players. Seeing his sympathetic face in remembrance of his high school football career, I recog- nized “‘Jess”’ Gillaspie. By this time I was completely bewildered by the facts that had been re- vealed to me. Nevertheless, | determined to make the most of this divine [20] ROR IE RRR EE ER ERE RE RRR ERE RE RRS BER Be Be Be Pe PLATE RER ERE RBBB RRR RR ER ER ER ER ER ER ER ER ER ERR ER ER ER ER ER ER ER
