PROPHECY The years seem to have flown by and the Class of 1952 has reached its goal; however, the journey is yet before us and for this moment, time stands still. Before us is our favorite collection of magic lamps, gotten from the famous collection of ‘‘King Buddy’s Antique Collection.” Smoke arises! Thick! Cloudy! Foggy—and our favorite genie reveals to us the many responsibilities and great tasks we have assumed. The smoke is thin—the genie speaks with music as a background. We hear a strange familiar voice. Yes— James Wilkins, Bass Operatic Star, at the Metro¬ politan Opera House, is in New York giving recitals daily. As we go farther uptown to one of our leading theaters we find Eugene Hovis as the leading actor of many Shakespearean plays. Looking towards the other side of town, we see Mary Anne Pinkston and Bettye Lyerly owners of the largest barber shop on Lennox Avenue. As appoint¬ ments must be made in advance, Luvenia Coleman is acting as the secretary. Cleveland Sheck, his son and grandson, have a large law firm, with an office on Fifth Avenue. Leaving the office of “Sheck, Sheck, and Sheck” with one of their fifteen secretaries, we now go to the famous Metropolitan Hospital which has been erected by the Jones, Wilkins and Robinson Contractors. The building is a thing of beauty. James Jones, “Ike” Wilkins and Richard Robinson have done well for themselves. In the office of the superintendent, we see Rose Eva McClain, who tells us that Florease Torrence and Cora L. Wright are her assistants. Among the top specialists in this new hospital, do¬ ing excellent work, are Julia Anne Goodjohn and Mary Lillian Perkins. Flash!!! Adrienne Lash is taking scoops daily of the new sensational comedy movie star, John Kincaid and is now star reporter of the DAILY STAR. Bessie Mae Stevenson is now head of Stevenson Daughters School of Home Economics. One of her helpers is Alice Neely. Warren Lyerly is now running a two-waj ' ' training school. One department is for the training of young basketball players and the other department for the training of voices. Oscar Dunham and Bernard Smoot are truly fine gentlemen. They are now set in business as “Dunham Smoot Insurance Co.” With them—every member of the family may be insured. Janet Jones has done exceedingly well in designing beautiful clothes for very rich socialites. George Alston, having put his four years of science to good use as well as his study of music, is now head of the Science and Music Departments at Fisk Uni¬ versity. Besides teaching, he composes music as well. Helen Cowan is a happily married lady with a rich husband and three boys. Besides supervising the house¬ keeping and caring for her boys she helps Bessie Stevenson manage her Home Ec. business. James Barnette is an artist in France. He is also furthering his studies at the famous French Academy of Arts. Lucille Graves is head of the Music Department at Howard University. Inabel Bunyon is now head of a championship bas¬ ketball team in Yugoslavia; assisting her are Bessie McKnight, Bernice Alexander and Naomi Fleming. Vida McConneaughey is a prominent pharmacist of Salisbury. She also owns “Le Magasin de Pharma¬ cist” in High Point. Right around from Vida ' s pharmacy, we find a beauty shop managed and owned by Bettye Lou Mc¬ Kinney. Steve Holt and Harold Redfern are still in the Navy. Their commanding officers are Charles Hunt and Thurston Muskelly. To keep the public well informed on sports, we find Charley Bush, Theodore Coleman and Charles (Scoop) Littlejohn as sports editors for the Herald Tribune, Daily Star and the Times, re¬ spectively. William Kirksey and Harry Pryor are leading brick masons in Chicago. Their motto is “It’s never too late to learn.” As we move from Chicago, we find in California, Harvey Moore and Thomas Gaines, managers of “The Trumperteers,” a group of young men who give con¬ certs all over the world. Leaving “The Trumperteers,” we now go to the famous “La Petite Danse School” managed by Carl Steele, Lee Archie Brooks, and Melvin Massey. As the schedule is very full and the students want to learn to dance as soon as possible, we find five secretaries to take appointments in the big ofl ' ice on 5th Avenue. One mement! The mystery voice wishes to add that a certain young lady whose initials are V.M.F. has just completed her book on “Easy Ways to Learn Mathe¬ matics” which is being used in all public schools in her native state. Well, my com.rades, the smoke is very thin and the genie has grown tired. He .says, the “class of ’52” has come to the end of its first journey. Until these prophecies become true, and even if they don’t, may God bless and bestow all things to you and the path to a successful and happy life. VIRGINIA MARIE FLEMING
