SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY It was the age of Atomic and Hydrogen Energy - things moved fast and furiously, were never at a standstill, and something was always going on. In keeping with the times, we decided to look on our new model television screen which is a little different from the usual set. It is different in that it shows just what we want to see, when we want to see it. And what did we want to see? Of course, what the graduates of '53 were doing in the future. With a twist of the wrist fsuch an effortj we turn on this remarkable set and sit back to relax and watch the graduates in their future life, and occupations. The first scene on the screen is that of a political convention. As we look more closely, we see' that it is the Democratic convention for the year 1954. Who are those two young lmen who are standing on soap boxes and singing the raises of the Democratic party, plat- form, etc? Why, it's none other than JERRY BUTCHER and JIM PAXTON who are trying to out shout each other. VVho is the candidate of their choice? It's JACK SMITH who has finally yielded to the influence of his friends and decided to run for president. His campaign manager is PAUL LOVE, and between the two of them, they plan to get JACK elected by the use of jokes and wittiness. JACK has decided to run for president, since he has given up his am- bition of being like Napoleon whom he admires because he, too was little but loud and powerful. Busy executives that they are, they, of course, need the services of more than one sec- retary. These services are aptly rendered by their two charming secretaries, NANCY MOR- TON and BETTY TAYLOR. In charge of a school teaching secretarial work is MARY GRAY who plans to keep them well-supplied with capable and efficient secretaries. Enrolled in the school are ILENE MOORE, ELIZABETH BRANNON, NINA HOLCOMB and LEAH SIRK. The scene changes and what have we here? Nothing else but a football game between two very fine teams. WVe see that the star player is the son of MRS. CHARLOTTE LUCAS ICO who is of course, proud of her son and we might add, his five brothers. There is thc coach on the sidelines, he looks familiar. It's GENE MCCLURE who, after playing profes- sional football, has turned to the art of teaching others the game. Yes, there's MRS. Mc- CLURE fthe former MISS SYBIL YOUNGJ cheering from the grandstand. They spend their spare time teaching their son and daughter the fundamentals of football and cheerleading. Not slighting any sports, we look in on a basketball game. However, this one is a little different, for it is a woman's game. We see the coach jumping up and down excitedly on the side-lines. Why it's none other than ZELMA KING who is telling her star players what play to make. Her star players look familiar and why shouldnit they? It's GRETA LEGG, CARLOTTA REEDY, VERNAL FITZWATER, KATHRYN LECC, WANDA FIELDS, and EVA JEWELL MORRIS who make up this champion team. Head cheerleader for this team is IRIS REED. Yes, she's the one whom we knew as IRIS HANSHAVV. Still cheerleading, she also combines homemaking with her career. The set seems to have developed some troubles. Cuess we'll have to adjust some of those dials. There, it's all clear again, and this time we look in on a session of court. A trial is going on and we see that famous judge BILL MORTON instructing the jury and specta- tors. The lawyer who is pleading his case is DAVID MCLANE, who seems to be putting his point across. Small wonder, considering his oratorical powers. Who's on trial? It's only BILLY MOORE who is charged with assault and battery. It seems that he beat up this 6' 5 , 200 pound policeman who didn't like it very well. Policeman CARLOS BROWN, who was the 27
