Class Prophecy, 2 Watson, noted scientist whose experiments had resulted in a sure cure for cancer, was to speak on the first night. His topic, Steps in Detecting and Eliminating Malignant Growths. The second night featured Attorney Wilford Richardson whose unusual ability had helped to break down racial segregation in the south, where as the third and last session scheduled Dr. Estella Smith, a food expert from Raleigh, North Carolina. After attending the quiz program and hearing Ella Wease whizz through the most difficult questions pertaining to surgical nursing for a win of 332, 000, I caught the midnight train from New York, heading south. When I went into the dining car, there were seated opposite me four well dressed young ladies, who introduced themselves to me as, Adelle Black, Vernell Blackwell, Ruth Martin and Priscilla Neal, executive secretaries for the Labor Department, U.S.A. You can imagine my embarrassment when I realized these lovely personalities were my former classmates, who were on official business for their employer - destination - unknown. They stated that Audra Adams and Elnora Anderson were quite peeved because they had not been selected as the secretaries for this secret mission. The dining car episode completed, I returned to the coach. At once 1 was aware of the fact that during my absence, Macine Ellington, field representative for the N.A.A.C. P. was my seat mate. She informed me that she had visited several towns in her tour. During this time she too had come across several of our classmates. Amiie Martin and Irene Horne were happily married housewives in our own home town, Reids- ville, N.C. Charles Maynard and Bobby Jones, brick masons. John Lane, a carpenter. Monroe Settle, George Fulp, George Simpson, Samuel Stacey, and Norman Jarrett are engineers. Artis Wright, Randolph Johnson and James Brown operate the Wright-Johnson- Brown Television Clinic in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, while in Nashville,Marjorie McCollum, Sherlene Lee, Mary Watkins, Shirley Galloway, Roberta Cummings, Hair- lene Harrison and Novella Brown are attending The Exhibition of Latest Hair Affairs. Ellington and I, so engrossed in thoughts of the hour, that we were surprised when the conductor came through and called the next stop which was Washington, my destination. So we bid each other farewell. In Washington I ran across William Johnson and William Morrison, looking as hand- some as two air force officers could in full dress uniforms. They had just flown up from Pensacola, Florida, to spectate at the Dodgers vs. the Boston Brave game. The starting pitcher was to be Charlie Dillard. Quickly they extended to me the invitation to fly in their plane as soon as mechanic Watkins finished checking it over. Behold, a change has come over the spirit of my vision. All goes onward and outward, nothing collaspes. So it goes with the class of 1957 in the sea of adventure. Each has succeeded in his chosen field representing his alma mater well. Class Prophetess Mozelle Mims
