Class Prophesy Until about a week ago, I was very puzzled as to how I would prophesy the future of the class of 1960. I revealed this problem to my cousin and friend, Sarah Stout. Nothing to worry about, said Sarah, I can help you out of your dilemma. Well, I was rather surprised and con¬ fused. How could she help me? She was no more a prophet than I. Then Sarah proceeded to tell me how she could put me into a trance and suggest to me to foretell the future of the class of 1960. After intense debating, she finally pursuaded me. First, I was to lie down on Sarah ' s couch and close my eyes, she said, to relax my prophesying muscles. Then no sooner than you could say Prognosticate , I was in a trance. When I opened my eyes it was 1975 and I was walking down Misty Street in California. There I met Nell Wiseman. As we walked down the street talking over old times, Nell told me all about our former classmates who were living in California. Patricia Saunders and Betty Reid were National President and Vice-President of the Johnny Mathis Fan Club respectively. Nancy Jo Jones owned a toy factory. All of her toys sang Habanera . Larry Logan was principal of the Harris High School—named after Leonard Harris who is a famous mathemetician. Larry ruled the school with an iron hand. Students never cut classes be¬ cause Principal Logan knew all of the tricks. I wonder how he knew? The Harris High School had a fine coaching staff. James Burton coached football; John Stout, baseball; Robert Taylor, track; and Robert Fisher, basketball. In the same school, Howard Ormond taught French. All of the girl students seem qui ' e interested in their charming French teacher. In Hollywood Gloria Smith, Helen Boyd, Cornelia Shipp and Doris Rankin have become famous models. They call themselves The Models with the Mostest. Nathaniel Tobias is also a model. He models men ' s clothes in the most famous magazines. Nell tells me that the Mms. Wilson who owns the famous charm school is none other than Viola Wilson, our former classmate. Viola is known the world over for her charm and grace. Nell and I had lunch together and soon it was time for me to board a plane for Chicago. But before I left, Nell told me that she is head dance instructor in the Arthur Murray Studios. In Chicago I found that Douglas Heath and Benjamin Cureton were the heads of a very large law firm. The firm is run efficiently with Patricia Walker and Loretta McKenzie as top secretaries. The firm ' s biggest and richest client is Avis Wilkins. She owns a large cosmetics concern and travels all over the world with her interpreter, Barbara Broadway. Betty Johnson, a well known clothes designer, designs all of Avis ' clothes. In Chicago ' s Loop, Doris Bruce and Virginia Jordan had a famous dress shop where Shirley Greenard is their chief model. Harold Broadway and Walter Cook owned a restaurant. Their slogan is, Eat, drink and be merry ... Vera McCollough and Barbara Goodrum operate funeral par¬ lors in the suburbs. Business is booming. Calvin Martin was President of the famous Woods School for Girls—named for Brenda Woods who was a great orator. By train I went to New York. Eleanor Patterson and Mary Lee Johnson had formed the Pat- John Movie Productions. Their latest movie is, East by Southeast which was written by Joe Pemberton, the successor to Alfred Hitchcock. The picture stars the most charming Elizabeth Giles and that suave, sophisticated Arthur Hunt. John Norman and George McLaughlin are very cap¬ able stock brokers. Terry Moore, along with Walter Howell, Herman Redd, owned the New York Times. Terry used to love to be around newspapers. Juanita McGriff is their star reporter. She always had a nose for news. i left my friends to their various tasks as I boarded a train for Salisbury, N. C. While chang¬ ing trains in Washington, I picked up a newspaper that was full of items about some of my for¬ mer classmates. Marilyn Jones and Vonnie Robertson and Rosa Click are senators. They have introduced a bill for higher speed limits. Sandra Clark has just returned from a singing tour with her able accompanist, Marie French—better known as Fingers French . Jacqueline Sautters has just won the Miss America Contest. For her talent she mimicked such stars as Pearle Bailey, Mari¬ lyn Monroe, and Eartha Kitt. I wonder where she ever got the idea? Gwendolyn Curlee, a research scientist, is being acclaimed for discovering a serum to cure cancer. Upon arriving in Salisbury, I find that manv changes have occurred since my absence. Jac- gueline Fleming is now a surgeon at Rowan Memorial Hospital. Sandra Taggart has set up her dentist office and is yanking teeth bv the dozen. Barbara Thompson is a disc jockey on the radio. Her slogan is Mother, Father, daughter or son; I spin platters for everyone. Joyce Moser and Brenda Witt are swimming instructors at the new YWCA. Mildred Cook and Mary Ann Brown are librarians at the public library. John Brown owns his own construction company. He says, In the North or in the South, wherevet vou roam. J. B. builds the verv best homes. Nancy Ford is the Dean of Women at Livinnstone College. Kay Sherman is the school nur =e for the Citv of Salisburv. Sarah Stout and Flora Kirksey own a fabric shop. Their slooan is, Nice material for nice people. Mary Burton and Geraldine Mills are now verv capable social workers. Svlvia Ervin is the best lawver in town. Her motto is, Bail ' em, or j j| ' em. And what am I contributing to this fine society? Well, I am a teacher at Price High School- and a Mother of four. When I came out of the trance, I felt refreshed and wonderfully haopy that my classmates will be doing well 15 years hence. Gee, its wonderful to be in a class like ours. MIRANDA ADELIA BOGER
