Prophecy Class of 1949-'50 It is the summer of 1970, twenty years since my class grad- uated from Belfast High School. We are proud of our education that we acquired at Belfast with the aid of all our teachers. When we think back over our school days we wish to thank Mr. Harry V. Satterfield for preparing us for high school and future education. When I was a student in high school I liked Home Economics, Typing, and Bookkeeping the best of my subjects. When I was a Freshman I thought I would like to be a typist, but later in high school I decided I would rather marry Harry Phillips and become a homemaker. We have two children and are very happy. Harry and the children have decided to give me a vacation. QIt's about timej. What better way could I spend my vacation than by visiting my schoolmates. Irene Wylie and I were pals during high school days, so I first traveled down to Marietta, Ohio, where Irene has been living for the past twenty years. Irene and Dale live in a large Georgian type home. They are very happy. I took the bus to Columbus and found Harold Theiss, an absent minded professor, trying to locate his hat Qwhich was on his headj. No wonder Harold is so absent-minded -- he is getting ready to take his basketball team to Madison-Square Garden to play against Belfast. Harold is married and has a very nice family. Connie is a very good cook. I don't think Harold will ever starve Qhe weighs 220 poundsl. ' I next traveled to North Union to visit Mary Alice Fields and Charles. Mary is a good homemaker. She likes homemaking. Mary showed me around the house. When we went into the basement to see her canned fruit, Mary stepped onto the basement floor and sc- reamed. . . .water, water, everywhere. . . .a pipe leaks. Mary has a very nice home. I took the train to Indianapolis and found Eddie , Edward Shoemaker, in his electrical shop, is working for dear life. Eddie has a very good business in Indianapolis. ll

I also found Helen Edingfield in Indianapolis. She is working as a typist for a doctor. She is not married but the big wedding is just around the corner. She wants to be a part time nurse during her spare time. I hope you have a very happy life, Helen. Next I took a plane and went to Kansas City and found Donald Kelley living in a very new Modern type home. When I knocked a little blond girl about four years of age came to the door. She told me that her name was Susie. When I asked her where her Daddy was, she said he was in the kitchen and invited me to come in. When I entered into the kitchen Donald was raiding the ice box, he had a huge sandwich in one hand and was hunting for something else with the other. Donald is a merchant. He said that business was low at the present. Shorty , Rose Mary Wilkin, lives in San Diego, California. She is having a wonderful time here in California. N0 wonder with all her millions. Rose Mary is a movie star and is teaching her daughter, Connie, to become a movie star too. Larry Thoroman moved out to Arizona because of his health. He lives in a modern ranch type house. Larry is doing farm work for him- self and is helping his neighbors with their work. I heard that Juanita Warnock was living in Texas, so that was my next stop. Juanita is a busy girl because she is Home Economics De- monstrator. This is an outside job for Juanita is married. Juanita, you are doing very good work in combining homemaking with a career. I arrived at Fort Knox to find that Delano Riley was not Captain Riley. Delano, I hear from several people that you are doing swell work there at Fort Knox. I took a plane to Miami and found Leota Edingfield, Roger, and their four children living in the most beautiful home. The house is white with a big porch. In front of the house is a big fish pond with a flower garden all around. Leota and Roger named their home Our Dream House . I think that is a very good name because that is just what it is--A Dream House. Next I traveled up to Jamestown, Virginia, to find John Hart. I just arrived in time because John was getting ready to go to Panama. John is an airplane pilot. He said that it was very interesting. I took the bus up to Detroit where Hugh Humphrey lived. But to my surprise I also found Eugene Ernst was there on his vacation from the Army. Eugene said that he likes the Army very well. Hugh's farm is about 75 acres. This vacation has been a very nice one. It brought back events to be remembered from our school days at Belfast. Joyce Eakins I2
