SENIOR CLASS PHOPHECY
A carnival arrives in town. I am excited. I visit it the Hrst night. I espie
the fortune teller's tent. I step ing am invited to sit down. I address the
Gipsy wom-an, "Madam, I am about to be graduated from high school. Wionld
you tell me what each member of my class will be doing fifteen years from
now P" She gazes into the crystal ball for a minute. Forms begin to appear,
and the lady begins:
"XYhat's this I see here? It is what was formerly occupied by Freel's
Drug Store, but now it is .the Corbett Drug Co. It is managed by Keith Corbett.
Keith has employed G. L. Carter, who is still looking important. IVhat do
you suppose Donald Bales is doing? He is owner of a hospital, and Francis
George and Remine Knisely are his assistants. The nurses in this hospital are
Berniece Knight, Margaret Rhines, Mae Vinyard, Ileen Carmichael, and Evelyn
N'oe. Donald, Francis, and Remine should have good business with these girls
as nurses. Vaughtie Piercy has taken Mr. Blackwelder's place in high school,
teaching music. Billy Peoples is now owner of the largest funeral home in town.
VVayne Ailey is owner of -a radio station in Morristown. His announcers are
Charles Ryan, Conrad Campbell, and Elmer Blackwell. Imogene Jackson con-
ducts a "Kiddie" program on Saturdays over this station. She always did
love children. She is still single, but still looking for a husband, and hoping
to find one soon. One of the favorite programs on this station is the one in
which Dick Lane and David Litz are starring. They are the two most popular
boys in Morristown and are real artists. Sam Cantrell is sitting in the chair
once ocupied by Hal Noe. He is owner and operator of the Morristown Ga-
zette R Mail. He is destined to be a millionaire. Employed on the XVPA are
Lyman Smith, Leslie Susong, john Xhiilliams, joe Allison, Bob Harmon, and
Homer llray. This is the kind of work they like, because they always did like
loafing. The crystal shows someone leaning over a wash tub rubbing clothes.
Wfearily she lifts her head, and brushes back a few strands of h-air which have
fallen into her eyes. IN-'ho do you think this is? She was formerly Gladys
Morrison. just a sample of what married life will do for you. In Morristown
Dorothy Iiloneycutt. Ruby Iarnagin, and Helen Canter are operating a beauty
shop. Steve Campbell has been a candidate for govenor of Tennessee for three
successive terms, but thus far has never been fortunate enough to be elected,

Henry. H. I. Bell, Jr., ran for mayor of Raytown in the last election, and was
unanimously elected. Edd Holt is manager of the New York Yankees. Clarence
Honeycutt is a lawyer in New York, and his wife is the former Mary L. Gentry.
