»»»»»»»» THE PIERIAN C A GLIMPSE OF 1950 CLASS PROPHECY Let’s take a glance into the future and see what 1950 has in store for the ’37 graduating class . . . I see Deetie Wise and her husband, Sam Thornton, operating a reducing school. Jean Mason has been promoted to editor of that well-known magazine. Ballyhoo. Lucy Mastin has charge of The Question Box. Teensie” Yarbrough won $500 in a lottery, and she and Harvey have opened a motorcyc'e shop. Mary Eleanor Weatherly hasn’t captured any English king yet, but she’s still using that old high school technique. Louise Yarbrough, Vance Walker, and Chig” Neely, those three inseparable spinsters, are teaching classes on Advice to the Lovelorn.” Louise’s spinsterhood is due to the efforts of Virginia Giles. She and Charles are very happy. Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Monroe, Jr. (the former Tootsie” King) are living on Ed’s cartooning. Emma Mae Savas’ aspiration to be an old maid school teacher seems to have passed, because she is now the Sergeant’s daughter-in-law. Aurelia Papot and Yardie Hobbs are writing a book entitled, How to Fascinate Men.” A. B. Smith’s Bing Crosby ambitions no longer exist. He’s assistant football coach at the University of Tenn. Sings at his work lots but why not??? He’s having swell luck. Mary Jane Ligon still likes coffee in the morning and T” at night. Doris and Cecil are living a quiet married life much to everyone’s surprise. Mary Britnell is living on her alimony from Bud.” Quite disillusioning to find that they can’t live happily together. Columbia Holman’s poetry is improving readily—she’s becoming a real Elizabeth Browning. Cora still rides in her Ford each day, but they haven’t done anything'about it yet. Char'es Martin has become a famous golf champion and he’s very happy over not having to wait until school is out to play. Helen Yarbrough is running a knit shop in New York and finds it most amusing. Gave up her Young” life for it. Charles Dillingham is a fine criminal lawyer in Philadelphia. His competent secretary is Martha Davis. Maurice Duncan’s ambition Jo be an actor is at last fulfilled. He’s in Hollywood and is following in Johnny Weismuller’s footsteps. Alice Elizabeth and Dick are going in for farming in a big way and she’s getting used to country life. Clarence Watts has had splendid success with his art. He’s giving Rubinoff a lot of competition on the sidelines. After seeing all these ambitions fulfilled, we can only hope that all our ambitions and dreams will be realized in years to come, and we can look back on our high school life as the planting of a seed which grew into a happy and successful life.
