CLASS PROPHECY While traveling through Egypt on an assignment by United Nations Educational Scientific Cultural Organization, acting as representatives, Minnie Hinton, Marie Grumpier, and Dolores Rhodes decided to visit the tomb of one of the well known kings. On entering the tomb they were speechless for a second or two at the sight of the great wealth this king had in his tomb. Then like a flash the lights of the tomb dimmed. Second s passed and the girls were trembling as the mystic prophet who comes once every ten years moved slowly toward them. The prophet who was very shrewd knew at once that they wanted him to unfold the year 1957. The lights dimmed, but quickly brightened. Music! Who can it be? John W. Smith, the great musician, is seen stepping from his 1957 coupe with his most popular band. Slowly moving, the mystic points to Virginia, where Lessie Johnson is head deititian for Hampton Institute. Moving slowly to New York we find Marie Grumpier superintendent of all Regis¬ tered Nurses, Lincoln Hospital, New York. A few blocks from Lincoln Hospital we find Hinton Secretarial and Business College, owned by Minnie Hinton. Ruth Davis has now made her debut at Carnegie Hall in New York. She is plan¬ ning a tour of South America next month with Robert L. Milton, the great Shake- sperean actor. In the business section of New York we find Garfield Walker and the former Erlene Ramsey, now married to James Davis, operating one of the most exquisite tailoring shops in New York. Their styles are unique. Slowly pointing to Salisbury we find George McKinney who has received his Ph.D. from Howard and is planning on opening his ultra modern hospital located on Fairview Heights. Charles Robinson, William Gillespie, and David Agnew, who are partners, now run a Drive-in fix ' em while you wait shoe repair shop located on North Lee Street. We now find Syble Donaldson proprietress of an Exquisite Lady ' s Shop where Yvonne Hill is her secretary. The famous photographer, Leonard Alexander, now runs his own studio. His photos are nationally known. The mystic moves to San Diego, where we find Miriam Cowan head of the San Diego Welfare Department. Zydia Davis now operates her own beauty parlor in Hollywood. Harold Holt and Calvin Stringer, now No. 1 construction engineers, own a joint business concern. They are now planning to remodel Price High School of Salisbury. They plan to go to Salisbury by plane. The former Dolores Rhodes, who is now a No. 1 stenographer, is about to join her husband who is touring Cuba. Moving to Washington, we find Dallas Mashore owner of the largest barber shop in Washington. His co-workers are: Leon Massey, Garland Bradshaw, and Milton Jones. In the business section we find a new high school, Cowan High School, named in honor of Clinton Cowan, the well know minister. He is founder of the institution. The staff is as follows: Principal, none other than Walter Steele who also teaches mathematics. In the English department we find Marilee Brotherton. Charles Dubois now teaches Physical Education. Doris Harris now teaches History. The light dims but quickly brightens and we are in Ohio. We find Carlton Milton specializing in medicine and Walter Wiseman, founder of Wiseman Funeral Homes, conversing on the opening of a new morticial school to be owned by them. Margaret Ross and Odessa Parker now operate a prominent business school located in Cambridge, Mass. Carrie Thornton is now head of the Welfare Center in New York. The lights dim to brighten no more. The future has now been revealed. The mystic fades slowly as the girls leave the tomb. MINNIE HINTON MARIE CRUMPLER DOLORES RHODES
