Class Prophecy, tConcludedJ Lester Carter, who to me, seems to have reached the greatest height of the class of 39 is now Ambassador to Ethiopia. A. E. Jones has now become both poetess and author. She has written many beautiful poems, her finest eni titled Melancholy l-ler books are interesting, also instructive. l'-lave you heard of the great McCloud and Torrance Undertaking Establishment, whose headquarters are at Philadelphia, Penn. These '39 graduates are doing mar- velous work throughout the United States. Prof. Terrel A. Allen Litt. D., once Oakwoods pros- pective musician, is now conducting, creating, and arrang- ing music at-Qakwood Senior College, as well as heading the f-listory Dept. Clara Turner having completed her education in America, went to Europe to study more thoroughly, is now a teacher of language in Hamilton s College. Corrine Williams is the organist of the Shiloh Seventh- day Adventist Church, Chicago, lllinois. Through pub- licity we have learned she will choose as her companion, Elder Walter Starks, who is the pastor of the same con- gregation. At Qakwood Senior College, we see another member of the Class of 39. Alma Ford, head of the large Shirt Factory in progress there. Mrs. Carethers, ascertained her knowledge through careful study and is now principal of the Fortworth Academy in Fortworth, Texas. Do you remember Norman Simons and Josephine Mc- querry, both people of many talents? Why they earn their bread and butter by clever sketches. We can recall when both were rewarded with medals by the Inter- National Art Society. Charles Cunningham having received his M. A. Degree at Pacific Union College is now President of Qakwood Senior College, where he is now doing splendid work. Elder and Mrs. Abney Jr., are now in the field of Dark Africa, taking up the work Elder and Mrs, Abney Sr. left. They are being aided by the grand work of Nurse Dorothea Laurence. Mrs. Abney is the one-time Cieneva Duncan. Viola Washington is a book-keeper in the Mountain View Publishing l-louse, she is very competent, and es- teemed highly by her employees. Jeter Cox's life seems to be doing him good. l-le is in the Mummy Business. CAn Archeologistl. John l-lamilton has become quite a Mechanic. l-lis chief occupation is to make machines which will aid scholars in learning and remembering their lessons. Bear with me a moment longer. I have more news for you. .lust arriving in her new airline supercharger Lim- ousine, is none other than Viola Jackson, head Librarian of the Theological Seminary in Takoma Park, Washington. As we land we regretfully see these scenes pass into the great oblivion, and we are reminded of the words of the poet who said, U-fime, you old Gypsy man will you not stay? Put up your Caravan, just for one day.
