=3 rT J SR SOPHOMORE CLASS PROPHECY AS I STEPPED out of the taxi and dropped the jingling coins into the hand of the driver, something in his face reminded me of E. B. Norton, the wonder jitney -driver of old B. S. C. days. ' Well, hello, ' Foxy ' , I exclaimed. Is it really you? And some days later, in the Year of Our Lord, 1935, I found myself relating to him everything I knew about that justly-famous class of Birming- ham-Southern, the Sophs ' 23. W. N. Dark, you know, eventually ended at Tuscaloosa; somehow he was always afraid that S. M. Baker would show him an invoice. Of recent years this has become more or less chronic with him. D. C. Bracken and F. b. Riggan have proved so far the most successful members of the class. They collaborated on the writing of a ' Dictionary on Profanity. ' Several editiors have sold like the proverbial ' hot cakes. ' They have amassed great worldly wealth. Gary Burchfield, J. H. Howell and J. D. Harris, on account of the early inspiration afforded by Professor Florent, have won world-wide acknowledg- ment for their musical ability. Burchfield plays a comb, Howell a Jew ' s harp, and Harris makes music with a dish-pan. Gordon Golson is the worthy author of ' My Success on the Old Park Bench. ' He says his only trouble has been in selling this fascinating piece of literature. ' A bad penny always comes back. ' Mike Norton didn ' t leave the athletic field for long. He now sells peanuts to the throng that gathers to watch the Howard bulldogs annually go down in defeat. Miss Miriam Milner ar.d Miss Ozello Glasgow have founded a home for old ladies who are mentally deficient and congenial to them. Among these old ladies are Miss Elizabeth Woodall and Miss Anna LaPpage. Miss Catherine Newsome won a blue ribbon last year for proving herself a truly great athlete. She says she attained her perfection by the ceaseless slinging of dishes and rolling-pins at her unappreciative husband. G. F. Roebuck, J. E. Barnes and M. E. Baker, out of their sympathetic, animal-loving hearts, are inaugurating a drive throughout Alabama for a home for bruised and badly torn up bulldogs. It seems that every fall, winter and spring, the number is prone to increase. Alvin Baker owns a hot-dog stand down in the center of the metropolis. Howard Stansell, a wonder critic, had an article in the paper the other night stating that Baker should add one more slice of pickle to his ham sandwiches, and that his hot-dogs are seldom hot. B. P. Hutto, through the great influence of one of the professors of olden days, has gained a position as instructor in the University of Chicago. He instructs a dozen janitors as to the most sanitary method of sweeping when the broom is lost. In his class are Demetruis Issos, P. L. Abernathy and Howard Yeilding. G. R. Stuart, Jr., Milton Griffin and Gaston Golson are carrying the monopoly of sign painting in Pratt City. They found their life calling when [28]
