PROPHECY As I looked into the crystal, the road to the future led forward for twenty years and I saw myself walking down it to the year 1970, where it crooked and forked into all directions. The first turn led to Washington, D. C., where I watched the inauguration of the youngest pres- ident ever to enter office. Robert Kirkpatrick took the oath of office and the first lady, the former Sarah Ann Ketring, watched with pride. VVhile in Washington, I saw Senator Emma Jean Stafford addressing a joint session of Con- gress. She talked slowly so that Mazelle Hall, a clerk in the House of Representatives could write it all down. The next fork in the road led to Henderson- ville, where I saw a parade coming down the street. The band was led by Alvin Sutton. The celebration was in honor of the opening of a newspaper, The Hendersonville Times, edited by Clyde Garrett. As I ventured on down the road, I noticed that a new livestock market was being built, at the edge of town. Dudney Harris was plan- ning to make this market the best one in the South. just beyond the livestock market, I noticed a new General Shoe Plant under construction. The foreman in charge of the work was James Nichols. The land had been bought from a farmer, james McConnell. I now visited the school and saw Joyce Wil- liams coach a championship team. These girls hadn't lost a game the entire season. As the gym faded into the mist, the images of two persons formed in the crystal ball, and I saw Mr. and Mrs. Courtney Hewgley entering the office of the Hendersonville Motor Co., which was owned by Courtney. Mrs. Hewgley was the former Eloise johnson. Turning another curve in the road to the future, I found myself in front of a hospital. The shingle over the door informed me that Dr. Clem Reese was chief of staff and Catherine Mundy was Superintendent of Nurses. The crystal next led me to a busy street in Memphis. On the window of a nearby office was the name of the little man who had taken Crump's place, Shelley Edwards. In another part of Memphis, I saw a theater which was showing a movie starring Nola Allen and featuring the- work of the famous art director, Noah Allen. The manager of this theater was Leland Hewgley. Again the crystal cleared and I found myself in New York City, where I saw Mrs. Bob Kelley talking to a bookkeeper, Frances Draper. The topic of conversation was about the days when Mrs. Kelley was Delores Curtis. As I walked past Rockefeller Center, I saw Valerie Cage, a famous physicist, talking to Sue Petty, a reporter for the New York Times. In a downtown bookstore I saw a book listed as the best seller written by Kate Hunter, who is now Mrs. Fentress McGee. The scene again moved to Chicago, where I found Ruth Garrett was an Airline Stewardess for American Airlines. I now walked into the office of the Universal Cosmetic Company of Chicago and found that Peggy Covington was the creator of the cosmetics sold by the company and Jeanette Mahon was chief bookkeeper. At a downtown theater I saw the name of Jearl Ann Durham, famous concert pianist, who was to give a concert that night. Tommie Wingo was managing the concert tour. As my own image appeared in the crystal a gypsy came through a concealed passageway and told me that I was to become the writer of utterly fantastic fiction. MARY JO HENRY
