PROPHECY Trying 10 tell what twenty-one people will be doing some ten to twenty years hence isn't the easiest job their is, or so I thought until I hit upon the extraordinary idea of gathering a stack of newspapers of somewhere around the year 1973. Now that may sound foolish at first, but by running backwards very swiftly all the way to the Argus Office, it just happened to be 1975 when I arrived there. I got a pile of newspapers that they had published in the last five years and set myself to the task of scanning over them, having no fear but that I would find every one of our illustrious and talented class somewhere within those ages. The first item I ran across was a big picture of a familiar looking man and woman snaking hands. Looking down at the caption I found that the two largest photograph studios, Horn Studios and Mitchell Studios had just merged and become one great chain of portrait studios. Spurred on by this success, I went on to find a news item that an obscure scientist named Eugene Lee Craft had skyrocketed to fame by discovering a new element (which he called Craftonium) on the third star from the left in the big dipper. This news was immediately followed by an offer for him to take on an important position in the Glendon Cook Oil Refining and Research Corporation. Turning to the agricultural news, I saw that Orville Compton had sold all of his farm holding (in favor of a teaching position in Atlanta High) to Pkyllis Frantz and her husband. The result was that they are now four large scale farms in competition around Atlanta, Phyllis on the north, Robert Mayberry on the west, Duane Quisenberry on the south and Vaughn Craft on the east. In the Book Section of one of the papers was a review of a book called “The Secret Passion of Ebenezer Snodgrass and, after looking more closely I discovered that it was the third best seller of the now famous author and poet, Joan Wiseman. She also wrote “The Private Life of a Private Secretary” which was based on the life of a successful secretary, Marilyn McCombs. In glancing over the social news I saw that the Wednesday Afternoon Bridge and Tea Club met at the home of Marj Rogers, west of town, and that Melba Miller, of Minier, HI., won the prize for high scbre. And out on the Mayberry farm, it says in the next weeks edition, Mary Williams was the hostess to this affair. Back to the agricultural sheet for a moment where I saw the announcement that Bob Speciale has bought $3,000 worth of grain from the H. C. Brooks Seed Company, to use in feeding his herd of champion Herefords. I decided to see what was going on in the entertainment world and while turning the pages I was suddenly hit in the face by a half-page announcement of a super-colossal musical, opening at the local theater. It starred Joane Douthit, who was picked up by talent scouts while modeling styles; “Billie Baldwin, straight from a banner season with the Metropolithn Opera Company; Ray Batemen, who won his fame as a radio crooner; and Gene Brandt and his famous orchestra. I was hurriedly thunbing through the papers in search of some news of the only class member I had not yet run across when two pages, stuck together, and, looking the page over, small news item came into view---POLICE NAB FAKER-----. It seems that some joker by the name of Jack Brandt tried to tell them that he had the power to foretell the future.
