THE SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY One evening, as I was walking home, I looked up in the sky and imagined that each star in the sky held the future of some person. If that were 30, 23 of those stars held the futures of the Class of 1952 in their mysterious interiors. As I was pondering over this very tremendous thought, one of these stars seemed to burst, and a few million bubbles fell around me. There was a light so blinding that I had to close my eyes. When I opened them, I was stan- ding in the strange land of Twenty Years From Now. Everything was very much changed. Atomic power was being used in the homes, everyone had a family space plane, and no one bothered about meals—they had pills which held all the things necessary for good health. But, 30 much for that. What I was interested in was what my classmates were doing now. So, I began to look around and turned up with some very amazing and surprising facts. I thought it only fitting that I look up our former class president first, and I found him without much difficulty, for I was certain I knew where hewould be. Yes, Steve was in Hollywood, and in my chat with him, I discovered that he could be currently seen in Metro-Silver-Meyer's latest production, To Each, Someone Else's. As I was quite homesick for Atlanta, I decided to go there next and see if anyone was around. It was quite different now, and had increased in size, and I saw many new business establishments. Among them, were Van Cleave's Drugstore, Fortman's Dairy, Inc., Ford's Baker, and Kindred's Kafe Noticing that I was almost out of gas, I stopped at the next station and read a sign that said, Pech's Perky Service Station. Bob filled the gastahk, and gave the windows a very good once over. He said business was quite goodand gave the latest issue of the Atlanta Argus to read. I noticed that Ronnie West was now the publisher. Several items I read concerned members of my old class. Miss Joyce Ijams entertained her bridge club last Wednesday afternoon. I noticed that Dorothy Dyer was present, and I later was told that she was planning to establish a Cat and Dog Hospital in Atlanta. Betty Dano, who is now a registered nurse, is going to be her partner in this enterprise. Marilyn Hulva has a thriving tomato farm and has developed a method or raising them year round. Thus, the residents of Atlanta have fresh tomatoes year round and Marilyn, by the way, has a full pocketbook year round. Another item I read told of Aaron Cook's success. It seems he has invented several things, the most important being a fuel-saving engine for the spaceplane. I also noticed that Mrs. Earl Long was celebrating her 20th wedding anniversary (Dorothy Rawlins, of course), and decided to drop by the next day and visit with her awhile. While we gossipped, she told me that Jane Cotton had gone to California to get married as she had planned, and when her husband was out of the army, they stayed there and were running a very high classed beach resort now. I was dis-sappolnted that I found out so late, because I could have dropped in to see her when I was on the coast to see Steve. She informed me that Mary Short now was president of the Solar Space Lines. She made her start by becoming a steward-dess and slowly worked her way up. Admiral Theodore Merry was bacx to Atlanta this summer. Ted has just retired from the Navy, and is planning to live in Florida and take it easy. You will find Norman , she said, in Chicago In his Beauty Salon. Norman always was a lady's man and is now quite successful. His specialty is the Spitz Snip which he dreamed up shortly after the Poodle Cut came out. Dorothy Fuller has a dress designing establishment in New York and is now planning next spring's collection. We had a nice talk, but it wasn't too quiet at Dorothy's for there were ten small children running all over the place. The next day, I dropoed In at the high school to see how things had changed. As I suspected, there weren't many of our former teachers thare but I did find Wilma Milter teaching commercial subjects, Sarah Bell the physical education classes, and John Ryan was principal. This was no surprise as I knew how much he hated to leave. A new establishment is now in town. It is the Hughes and Ewing Dancing and Baton Twirling. School. Jack and Nate give most of .the. lessons themsdves Then something kept saying Go BackY I knew nor where, but I started on my way and found myself back to 1952. Now I could tell my classmates about my strange adventure into the Land of Twenty Years from Now. Perhaps you have been wondering who am. Well, I am we, the prophecy committee of the Class of 1952.
