Prophecy There | was, floating arond in space 10,000 feet above the earth, when suddenly a bird dog flew by, a rubber band struck up “Dixie,” a little man oared by in a row-boat, and something made me think of my Senior Class. By this time, Pat Aldridge, who founded and is president of the INTRA-PLANETARY BABY- SITTING AGENCY is doing a thriving business with the parents on Mars. Two years after graduation, Kermit Ashley won the National A.A.U. Wrestling Champion- ship, and is now managing the “Four Wey Sisters,’ world famous girl wrestling team. Collis Austin is now sound effects man for “Elsie, the Borden Cow Show” on WATA, which now is the Mutual Broadcasting System. Inci- dentally, for a good case of nostalgic pathos, tune in every third Wednesday evening for Beth Eggers singing “That Old Gang of Mine,” accompanied by Betty Sue Norris and her one- woman orchestra, consisting of a piano, flute, and fourteen magic fiddles. Lucille Cox and Joan Winebarger are literally setting Paris on fire as two of the top dancers in the “Folies-Bergeres.” They live on the left bank of the Seine with their little poodle, Fifi. Their next-door neighbor is Robert Dotson, who has been studying art in gay Paree since 1955 and is now a world-famous artist in the abstract. Joan Brookshire has been leading the Navy Band for several decades and she is really giving the Admirals a fit! IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS, Jim Brown and Bob Ray are now managing the A.A.A. (Aho Athletic Association.) Jim Idol, “The Deep Gap Flash,” still holds the Olympic Track Title and insists on breaking his own record every year. Jimmy Cline is the nation’s top jockey, having ridden the great horse, “Mackie-doo,” namesake for his owner, Mac Wellborn, to victory, time after time. Charles Taylor has turned his fifteen sons into a dynamic football team which is unde- feated, to date. Joy Brown won the part of Billie Dawn in “Born Yesterday,” previously done by Judy Holliday, and is giving inspiring performances in the illegitimate theatre. Clara Carlton and Evelyn Haynes are top- notch saleswomen at Saks Fifth Avenue. They got their experience in the “Rec. Room.” A new shock-absorbent drum head has been patented by Connie Casey; while in the field of Chemistry, Dick Lavendar has introduced his new “liquid wood” and sells it in bottles by the gross. Mildred Jones, Mary Clawson, and Lillie Lyons joined forces to revise Gregg’s Revised Short- hand Method. Jane Rivers and Armfield Coffey, Democratic and Republican National Committee Chairmen, respectively, killed themselves recently when James Phillips, Communist candidate won the presidency. FLASH—Martha Colvard and Jeanette Cooke, co-owner of the great chain of Crest Stores won their law suit against Don Miller and Charles Winkler, owners of the new, improved Bark. It seems that the girls complained of the un- pleasant odors being sent this way by the Blowing Rock, which were spoiling the refined atmosphere of their dime store. Yvonne Bodenheimer and Mary Jon Lanning are the new ambassadresses to Russia, and they have frequent conferences with Mrs. Joe Stalin. Polly Anne Cox is Washington’s leading socialite and at her famous parties are often seen Senator James McKinney, Congressman Albert Greene, and Secretary of State Melvin Greene. Nina Mae Culler and Mary Nell Greer have revolutionized the dressmaking industry by inventing a new, supersonic sewing machine. Betty Jean Edminsten, having been swept off the west coast by a Florida hurricane and having landed on a remote South Pacific island, daily feeds the whales on Gene Honeycutt’s addition to the dieting standards, “Tasty Tidbits for Tiny Tadpoles.”
