Class Prophecy being honored at the Waldorf because he had found a short circuit in a large and expensive TV camera. He was the only man out of 36 to find the camera’s trouble. Mrs. Ryder, former Anne Denton, was happily at home teaching their four children a Sunday School lesson. Glenn Padgett was also being honored at the Waldorf for being an outstanding foreman at the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company. A great dramatist and vocalist, Linda Boyer, was to have a premier opening at the Paramount soon. She was starring in the play ““Tonio and Lindaiet”’, the predicted smash-hit. I could find no other information about any Bedford people in the New York paper, so I rode my carpet over New York’s Sampson Air Force Base. Dale Wilson, Ray Overstreet and David Abbott were getting their jets ready for flight. Then I saw Tommy Abbott, one of the jet pilots, ready to take off, so on my magic carpet I glided along with him to Rockefeller Center. In a gigantic office sat Tommy Foster, in action asa C. P. A. He had been trying for hours to find a bookkeeping error Shirley Noell had made. Miss Noell was a private secretary for Dr. Dallas Pinion, the best-known doctor in New York City.

Scientist Elizabeth Burks had only a few minor tests to make before she let the public know the positive cure of imaginary ailments. She has been working on the test to cure this disease since she first began to study it at Randolph-Macon Woman’s College, in Lynchburg, Virginia. William Eubank, the class’s only sailor, set sail on a destroyer for a trip around the world. This is the second time since William has been in the Navy that he has made this trip. Now that my journey was completed, I hastened back to India to give my magic carpet back to the original owner, Mrs. Yun. With these memories fresh in my mind, I wrote them down to put in this prophecy, so that you might learn what happened to the Class Of 55: Class Prophet HELEN NANCE
