la ± H-Jtcukec 7 if In times like these when everything is so unpredictable, we still dare to look into the future to see what it holds for the class of 1945. It is the spring of the year 1950, and we see our classmates in all parts of the world, in all occupations. Even before the graduating class of 1945 had had time to marvel over the fact that they had finally graduated from college, they were approached by the principals of various schools and were asked to fill vacancies in their respective community schools. After considerable thought, eight of our classmates decided to accept positions in the same school, down in Podunk, N. C. We now see this community revolutionized and the school ultra modern and progressive in every de- partment. The principal of the school is Ben Askew, who, by the way, is married to a former A. C. student, Reid Wel ls. The dean of women is Mary Jennette. who is in charge of May Day activities. Clyda Ren- frow is the director of the girls ' physical education and instructor of health. Head of the history department is Mildred Moye, who has made it a favorite department to many students. Lucille Boyette is in charge of the mathematics department and sponsor of the Citizenship Club. Ada Katheryn Coor is head of the English department and sponsor of the school paper. Geography is taught by Grace Hill. Juanita Burton is head of the science department. These teachers have so motivated the students that there is no prob- lem of absences in the school, which has been cited by the great educator, Kilpatrick, as one of the most modern and progressive schools in the South. Next, we see Jessie Turner singing at the Metropolitan Opera House. Her fiance, Guy Dixon, is interning at John Hopkins in Bal- timore. They have decided to get married as soon as Guy gets his doctor ' s license. Edna Waters and Edna Roland, who were inseparable in college, are now separated. They are both married, one living in Michi- gan, and the other in Texas. Dot Green has almost finished working on her Ph.D. at Columbia University. A. C. Young has finally settled down, much to his wife ' s relief, and is now minister of one of the South ' s largest Christian churches. J. P. Tyndall has become one of the most promising scientists of our day. For her work at the Phychiatric Institute in Connecticut, Vera Loftin has received great recognition. Mr. Frank Downing and his wife, the for- mer Elizabeth White, are missioneries to Japan. We see one of our classmates as a Rhodes Scholar. James Beaty is now studying at Oxford University in Oxford, England. Voula Soufas and Frances Wooler are do- ing magnificent work with the UNRRA in Greece. Helen Renfrow is now head of the English department at Charles L. Coon High School. Camp director of all recreational camps in North Carolina is Rachel Jones, who just re- cently completed graduate work in that field at the University of North Carolina. Mr. Herman Bemberg and his wife, the former Lois Webb, are happily married. Lois was married in her May Queen ' s dress, just after May Day in 1945. Opal Lee Satterfield, Lottie Vann, and Ruby Davis have opened a nursery. Soon they will have to move to a larger place so that they can take care of the many children who have enrolled. Immediately after graduation, Cassie Ann Poole entered a dramatic school in New York, and now she is making her entrance on Broadway. Sarah Jane Ihrie and her husband are liv- ing down on the O ' Neal farm. They have two children, Rollo and Sollo. Mary Williams and Betty Nethercutt have just finished working on their advanced de- grees in library science at the University of North Carolina. James Ellis is holding a revival down in Arapahoe, North Carolina. Mr. Gus Constantine and his wife, the for- mer Julia Gliarmis, are now living in Chi- cago, Illinois, where Gus is practicing law. Julia married Gus six months after she had graduated. Rella Pace and Marie Barnes have opened a studio for dancing, singing, and piano. Charlotte Ruth Gray has dropped her teaching to take up nursing, and she is mak- ing quite a name for herself in that profes- sion. Ah, we have an author among our class- mates, none other than Mary Emma Perry, who has just sold her latest book, My Days at Atlantic Christian College. And so ends our prophecy. We cou ld be wrong — we ' ll know five years from now. — Julia Gliarmis and Rachel Jones, Prophets. 15
