Class Prophecy After hours of careful thought, I had not yet decided how to write the class prophecy. Finally, to give my mind a rest from this strain, I decided to go to the circus that had recently come to town. At the circus, the time passed very fast. On my way out, I stopped in my tracks for a second look at a sign in bright lights. It said Madame Zelda, The Future Foreteller. I hesitantly stepped into Madame Zelda ' s tent and told her my problem. She graciously offered to help me for a small fee. As we looked into the crystal ball, this is what was foretold for the class of ' 61—fifteen years from now: Woodrow Nichols is Vice-President of the United States. Lucky for Linda Fantt that he ' s not married, because she has high ideas about becoming Mrs. Veep. Among those holding top government positions are Robert Clodfelter, Secretary of State; and George Gurlee, Secretary of Treasury. Elizabeth Bynum is really going to the top. She has a government job operating the elevator in the Washington Monument. Coaching at UCLA is Charles McGarity. His co-workers are John Minter and Melvin Lentz. Alma Clark, Sandra Vails and Joan Wilkins are world-known as fashion designers. Jean Siler, being the best dressed lady in the world, has all three to design for her. Joyce Robertson and Jannette Long are lovers of art. They are frequently seen at the art gal¬ leries admiring the paintings of Richard Reid and Herbert Caldwell. These prominent artists em¬ ployed Charles Harris for auctioning their paintings. Charles always has had a head for figures, especially where there ' s money involved. The crystall ball shows a successful future for Clement McCombs and Joe Hunter. Clement is now the star of the famous Harlem Globetrotters. Joe manages the team well. Hollywood stages are enhanced with such stars as John Mcllwaine, Gladys Martin, and Jean¬ nette Hargrave. These stars are appearing in their hometown. They are lodging at the fabulous motel owned by Annie Neely This fabulous motel is a town-in-itself, because of its many facilities and its surroundings. Samuel Hopkins is the life-guard for the inside pool. Near the motel Lor¬ raine Brotherton, and Rachel Hart own a beauty parlor. Their slogan is Our price is small; we can improve all. East of the motel is Madam Janet ' s Studio of Dance owned by Janet Davis. She and her co-worker James Salmon, have agreed that they have a good school and have a name as famous as Arthur Murray ' s. South of the motel is a Methodist Church of which Ervin Holt is the minister. This Church belongs to the conference of Bishop Edgar French. Seen in the northern section of Hollywood is a recreation center operated by Carolyn Russell. Among the children on the playground are those of the former Betty McKenzie. Maxine Nash has marched herself into fame. She is a major in the WAAC and has thousands stepping at her command. Very vaguely coming into the crystal ball is the scene of a large audience. Faintly is heard the sound of very sweet notes. As the crystal ball clears up, we see that Mary Edgar is playing the piano, George Strawder is blowing the trumpet while Barbara Boger and Edwin Little sing to the newly crowned Mrs. Homemaker of 1976, the former Amelia Anderson. The judges: Bobby Aldrich, a lawyer; Harry McNeely, a professional football player; and John Chambers, a sportswriter, cast their votes respectively toward the winner. Alice McClain is the successful owner of the Danville Tribune. Employed at her newspress as reporters are Jean Wood, Ernest Taylor, and Barbara Watkins; Kenny Joe Brown and Albert Caldwell are photographers; and Darrell McLendon as comic artist. I now see why Darrell read comic books all through high school. Recently Dianne Davis made headlines in the Tribune. Yes, she is the first woman to become editor of The New York Times. Jackie Broadway is editor of Esquire. The ambitious Otis McClain is the manager of a local Food Town. Magdaline Kelly is the superintendent of Nicholson-Lancaster Hospital named for our senior advisors. Alice Garrett is president of a new North Carolina Woman ' s College, and John Tobias is dis- trist attorney for the borough of Queens in New York. Dr. J ames Boger has attained his goal. He has found a cure for cancer. It is evident that contractor Leon Alexander has built up his work considerably. He has con¬ tracts to build the office of dentist Charles Smith, and the National Interdenominational Mission¬ ary Headquarters. At the building Shirley Sharpe and Sadie Hawkins will have officers as National Co-chairmen. Betty Jones ' Charm School is beautifully located in Wyoming. Her slogan is: To be charming is an art. Let ' s learn together. Tarty Mack is a world-known orator. She always gets where she is going on time because dependable Terry Moore is her chauffeur. Featured on This Is Your Life is the great civic leader, Nancy Lynn. Included in her won¬ derful guest surprises are Wayland Mitchell, a too physical therapist at Rowan Veteran Hosoital; Vergie Byers, a Salisbury social worker; Jean Wilkins, a model for the House of Fashions in France; and Mary Hardin, a guidance counselor in the Trenton City Schools. Suddently the light in the crvstal ball darkened. My task was accomplished, I had looked into the future for the class of 1961. MARY SELINA HARDIN
