Prophecy For Class of '49 As I look into the future I see my classmates who are successful, or becoming successful, in all walks of life. Although it was her ambition to be a missionary, Argil Windley is a lion-trainer in a famous circus which is owned by the Brinn Sisters, Anna Dae and Lois. Jacqueline Waters is dietitian at the Metropolitan Hotel in Pinetown. The Metropolitan is owned and operated by Ruby Gurkins and Barbara Carrowan. Barbara 's old heart-throb, Dan Alligood, is desk-clerk at the hotel and makes quite a hit with all the young ladies who stop there. Bill Woolard, who has always shown promise of becoming a great man, is now working for the Jordan-Wallace Law Firm, as office-boy. This law firm is owned by two eminent women lawyers, Eloise Jordan and Clara Wallace. Mark Moore works in the same building as elevator boy. Mary Helen Kilby is a laboratory technician and is assistant to Doctor Elbert Wallace, a great scientist, who has recently learned that Atomic Power is dangerous. Doctor Wallace is now recuperating in Padgett 's Cure or Kill Hospital in Bath. This hospital was founded by Doctor Charlie Padgett with the aid of his two nurses, Violet Latham and Martha Webster. Jimmie Kinion, that great swoon-crooner, has become famous for his song, ' 'Wink at Me Only With Thine Eyes ' ', which he wrote for the Hirt of all flirts, Helen Thorne Brooks. Believe it or not, Helen Thorne is still flirting, even though she is now married and the mother of two beautiful children. Ophelia Waters is married to Preston Cutler and is kept busy caring for their twin sons, Pete and Repete, and answering all the fan mail that comes to Preston, who is a great pitcher for the Bath Hard Socks. Garth Waters has a nice little newspaper in Pinetown. Rebecca Rowland is his star reporter and Dorothy Congle- ton is her most able assistant. Macey Boyd has recently become the Woman 's Wrestling Champ of the United States. Her latest opponent was Mary Elizabeth Wallace, from whom she won the championship. At this time their managers, Lila Grey Everette and Joyce Sheppard, are arranging another match. Hilda Jackson and Marie Eaton are famous movie actresses. Incidentally, Marie has recently been granted a di- vorce from her third husband and is now looking for the fourth. Anyone interested? Do your ankles trouble you after those heavy holiday dinners? Wear Arcada's Ankle Braces designed by Doctor Katie Jackson, resident physician of Longridge, North Carolina. Vivian Cordon and Diana Cutler are models for Moore 's Modeling Agency which is located in Bath and owned by Pauline Moore. Ada Harris and Marie Cutler also work for the Modeling Agency. Ada is chief floor-scrubber and Marie keeps the windows shining. Rachel Ambrose has won world renown by going on an exploring trip into the depths of Jackson Swamp. Frances Johnson has become famous as a comedian on Broadway. We were sorry to learn that Frances and her husband, the former William Sullivan, have been having a bit of trouble because people call him Mr. Frances john- son. Dalton Woolard has made a neat fortune manufacturing Possum 's O'Possum Traps. Guaranteed to work! Frances Ross is a very efficient housekeeper for Dalton and Mrs. Woolard, who is the former Olga Braddy. PAULINE MOORE, Prophet I 15 l
