Not very far from here there ' s a quaint caravan midst green pine trees. In this caravan there resides a lady — the Gypsy. Her fame has become widespread. People from far and near come to consult her. We seniors of ' 47 have just paid her a visit (and incidentally we paid her a lot of money, too) to tell us our for- tunes. With nervous anticipation each of us waited his turn with the Gypsy. She had such insight that she could even call the names of those who consulted her. In her mysterious way the Gypsy talked on: Your name is MITTIE RUTH WALLACE. I see you graduating with honors from a big university. Later I see you serving as full-time President of the North Carolina Debating Union. GAYNELLE STANLEY — Ah. I see you — a great lady — having your picture made beside your pet cow — a Texas Jersey. Again, I see you sitting by a beauti- ful brook writing love poems and nature poems. ISABELLE GOODSON — I see you actually flying an airplane — your own plane, named for your uncle, the ' Flying Parson. ' NELSON KORNEGAY — I see a blonde-haired girl whose initials are R. S. Beware of her! A red-haired girl will come again into your life and forgive you. Now, I see you preaching to large congregations. HELEN OUTLAW — There ' s trouble ahead for you. Watch that blonde-haired girl. Fight for your man. He is a good boy and worth fighting for. He ' s a preacher, too. JEANE HARPER — You will take a long trip — away out West. I see a school — Brigham Young University. Now I am looking at a gorgeous temple — there ' s a wedding. You are the maid of honor at the wedding of Alma Dail and Marland Harper. They make a handsome pair. EVELYN KORNEGAY — another preacher in the class — - and a woman too! How you will influence young people! You will marry a boy you know now, but you are not in love with him now. You will be blessed with 12 lovely children. Your oldest girl will have red hair and will be named ' Bessie. ' You and your fam- ily will especially enjoy making pictures and playing the phonograph. IRENE LEE — A busy little house-wife you will be. You have a beautiful home to display your talents. The blonde you marry will be an answer to a matrimonial bureau advertisement, but he will make a good living selling Kermit Sedans (put out by Kermit Williams). KERMIT WILLIAMS — With all your money you will never find a girl who will marry you. It seems that they can ' t forget how untrue you are and how many hearts you have broken. Watch your fickle ways, my boy! Page Twenty-seven
