Ringing the doorbell at the beautiful home of £V£LBV£ and CARL BAKER is a Fuller Brush agent, GUY MILLER, who smilingly says he is a farmer in the summer time. The picture changes as we see JIMMY HONEYCUTT, featherweight boxing champion, squirm- ing in a dentist's chair. Holding his hand is EARLENE MILLER', the painless dentist's assistant. Our appetites are increased as we see billy jarett, professional pie-taster on his job. How we enjoy seeing him chuckle again! A copy of the Chicago Times” comes into view, and we find the editor is FRED HUFFMAN He has hired CLYDE hollar, JR. as comic-strip editor. imogene and WRENE RITCHIE are touring the United States and Europe with a company of Toni Twins. Both have such charming hair-dos that it’s impossible to tell which twin has the Toni. The city auditorium is packed with people. We wonder what's doing here tonight. BETTY SHEPHERD has returned to Hickory for a concert after a successful career as a Metropolitan soprano. The lights fade on the screen and bring to an end our visual journey with the class of 1950 of St. Stephens High. Suddenly we realize we're sleepy, but we're so happy to have seen again our dear classmates. Prophets - Rebecca Spencer Betty Ezell

PROPHECY The time is 1955 - five years from the night a large class graduated from St. Stephens High School. Yes, it's the class of 1950. Some members of this class are still in Hickory; others have sought larger realms to satisfy their longings. We are watching television, which has become so advanced that we can see the locale of each of our old classmates. As we look at the screen of the television set, this is what we behold: Since baseball has been a favorite on television ever since the very first, we are watch- ing a game - Cleveland Indians vs. New York Yankies. Of course, we're rooting for the Indians, for their pitcher is none other than HIGH FRY. A figure in white is walking down a corridor of a large hospital in Chicago. BETTY TURNER, R.N., has been there for about two years. Look who's coming out from one of the rooms. It's Joann drum with Starrs in her eyes. BILL BOWMAN is reading a book. Him--reading? Oh, we understand. The name of it is The Art of Wooing and he's the author. How very difficult to believe! At a table at the Stork Club sit BETH CAROLYN and McOOY bcherd , who are honeymooning in New York. Standing at their table is BECKY SPENCER , singing waitress. smr and McCOY pick up a copy of McCall’s magazine while waiting for their dinner. On the front of the magazine is a very pretty girl with dimples. She's cover girl, MARY HUFFMAN, who is living in New York. MARY, BECKY, and JANET STAFFORD still get together when their work permits, for JANET is also in New York working as a laboratory technician in a large hospital. Hum----that building looks familiar. Why, it's St. Stephens! But why is the scene changing to the first grade? Oh, the teacher is wanda bolick! Isn’t that a cute little boy. JEANETTE COOPER FRYE is talking to her husband, FLOYD, in the office of the Frye Up- holstering Company. She's telling him she must rush home, for she has left their twin sons with a baby-sitter, MARTHA HUFFMAN . MARTHA and LEONA HERMAN have a business of their own with Your Babies are Our Business as their slogan. Down a street of Hickory walks Chief-of-Police JOE HUFFMAN . He goes into a local drug store, where he converses with BRUCE ISENHOWER , owner. JOE is telling BRUCE that SARA STAFFORD and REVONDA MORETZ work in a jewelry store near by, and that D.C.HEFNER is a proprietor of a home for stray cats. Two customers of D.C.'s are riding up the street on a bicycle built for two. JERRY HEDRICK and BILLY DUNCAN are combining business with pleasure by advertising the bicycles they manufacture, while looking for pets. BETTY EZELL is getting up from her desk in the Record office to take an announcement from JOHNNY FLEMING, who is advertising his business as an Eye, Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist. There is also a large advertisement in the Record about the men's sports- wear store which LWYD SHOOK has recently purchased. A new Buick is pulling up in front of Ray's Pet Shop . JACK HOUCK , the Buick sales- man, has come to sell RAY BOLICK, a Buick. The next scene on the screen is Alexander County--in the home of POLLY MORETZ (for- merly sipe . Sitting opposite her at the dinner table is AUBREY, whom we remember as Polly’s high school boy friend. At a desk in the office of the Governor of North Carolina, MARION pearce, sits GLADYS LANIER, bookkeeper. Who would have thought this would happen? The screen grows brighter and soft music is heard. It's coming from Christ Lutheran Church, where we see RACHEL GRANGER directing the choir. Who's that in the back row? Why, it's CHARLIE YOUNG, her husband, singing tenor. He's also the star of a Broadway musical, The Flirt . nadine youni is standing beside the tractor on which her husband, CARL SEITZ, is sit- ting. In a distance we see what must be a model farm. Now, doesn’t that suit carl and NADINE? Gee, look where EDNA MAE HERMAN is working--in the Library of Congress!! MARGARET RAKER has dropped by to see her. She tells EDNA that she is hurrying to a Beta Club meet- ing in the school where she teaches. After all, the sponsor can't be late. Our eyes view next a beautiful model dressed in a stunning gown of her own creation. Yes, it's jettie rullman -in Hollywood. Aren't the stage backgrounds beautiful? JETTIE is announcing that BETT) FWWERS and JOHNNY bowman painted them. We see DONALD HEDRICK lunching at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studio with his producer, BILL SIMONS. DONALD is a stand-in for Jimmy Stewart. In lights at the State Theater in Charlotte we read McGinnis and Marx” JERRY and Groucho are co-starring in that great comedy hit, Ain't We Crazy”. A colorful spectacle is seen as we gaze upon a girl putting on a skating act. She is COLLEEN MOORE in the skating rink owned by HAROI.D KENT. Oh, what fun they must have!
