am proph[i:y As I sit here studying our Class Day exercises, I can picture our class of ' 54 through 1964. Lemuel Harper is now farming. As a side line, he is cutting pulp-wood for a living. As we look toward Raleigh, we see Bill Herring and Gerald Simmons with Agriculture; L. G. Kornegay with Engineering at State College. Up at Washington, D. C., we see Edwin Hill as a Counterspy. On the side line he swoons at girls and dreams about Rhonda Fleming. Down Blizzard and Holmes way, we see Tommie Hill as Chief of Police and on the side line he makes time with a girl. Woodruff Jackson is nowa five star genera l in the Navy. He is in Japan with a beautiful Japanese girl. I can see Douglas Smith at the big P. X. at Fort Jackson, pricing the baby cribs and other es- sentials. I see Earl Jones farming with his dad. He has Rose Marie Herring as a sweet attraction. We see Horace and Keith at a college studying to be agriculture teachers. They have a big band and teach The Bunny Hop. I see Lawrence Smith farming with his dad. On the side line he reduces for the new girl that he plans to marry at Pink Hill. Up at East Carolina Teachers College, we see Leonard Sutton playing football and studying to be a first grade teacher. Now coaching the basketball team at Albertson, we find our own Oscar Sutton. He is doing a swell job. Ray Franklin is now the owner of the Cadillac place in Kinston. He has a nice ranch style home in Fairfield where Sarah keeps him company. Alfred is now the owner of a big Mercury dealership in some town out West. For pastime, he Dear hunts and goes fishing. Donald Wallace is now a life guard at Crystal Beach, White Lake, N. C., and kills bob cats as a hobby. We see Elwood Walker as the owner of a big Ford firm. As a hobby, he makes time with a red- head. Living in Fort Bragg is Marie Bishop. She keeps house and rears a family. Her husband is serv- ing his country. We see Peggy Grady as the editor of Charm Magazine. She does her own modeling and cares for her three children. I picture Jo Ann Grady as she starts to college. Later she stops, because she has found the right boy to settle down with and take life easy. Frances Harper is now telling the story of Herbert in the Metropolitan Theater in New York City. I see Dorothy Rae Herring as she makes her way through East Carolina looking for that glorious little King boy whom she will find, I am sure, in the coming years and settle down to her kingdom. We see Shirley Herring sporting a ' 54 Ford from DuPont to her home with a crowd of girls having a wonderful time. As we look to Washington, D. C., we find Marie and Peggy Ann working with the F. B. I., trying to discover how to keep up with Joe and Darwin. Over in Kinston we find Margie Jones as a student nurse, hoping that Alfred will soon be a patient. Down in Deep Run, we see Joyce Lanier and Maxine Quinn as telephone operators. Hughlene Murray is now the editor of the Sarecta Times and also Mrs. Douglas Smith. Ruth Ann Page is now Bobby ' s private secretary. They are running a garage down at Sarecta, North Carolina. Lois Outlaw is now in Washington, D. C., working with the F. B. I. Shirley Ann Powell is now keeping house and looking after J. B. down at La Grange, North Carolina. Next, I see in the future. It ' s a bird! No-It ' s a plane I No-It ' s that Shelby Jean Southerland in that new light blue convertible Ford! She ' s on her way to DuPont to that favorite job of her life time. As I look in the far off distance, I see that sweet-talking Betty Smith keeping the home fires burn- ing and watching little Bill Brown, Jr. She has forgotten all about her Doctor ' s degree, but is making time just as well. Up at Peace College, we find Irene Joyce Smith studying to be an attractive secretary. Then I see our dignified Nellie Faye Parker. She is at East Carolina Teachers College flirting with all the boys. Up at King ' s Business College, we find Mavis Sutton studying to be a secretary in some big company down at Albertson, North Carolina. We now see Norma Allan Smith up at East Carolina Teachers College studying the production of Oates. As we look at the Sylvester Tew Plantation, at Albertson, N. C., we find sitting behind a big ex- ecutive ' s desk. Miss Lou Gene Smith. We find over at T. A. Turner ' s, Dorothy Tyndall, typing at the main desk. She is doing very well at this and has found a good career for herself. Next, I see Mary Louise Waters keeping house for the guy she ' s been waiting for so long. Mack Taylor. She finally persuaded him to ask the question, and Wow!, but did he get a quick answer! I now see Nellie Brown Wilkins sitting on the knee of an F. B. I. agent in Washington, where she is working as a secretary. Last, but not least, I see Christine living in a neat little house, but that doesn ' t look like Williams on the mail box. It ' s Alphin, her old school day sweetheart. As for myself, I hope to go to college and take up service work in Diesel. I believe that my future will prove interesting and great in the years to come. Class Prophet; Lester Britt, Jr,
