0' fl U 'W -M' 0 AJ' Lf CL SS PHUPHEEY The small room of Senor Rico was a scene of much confusion this par- ticular night in the last of April. Almost a hundred souls stood in line waiting for Senor Rico to tell what fate had in store for them. The rest of the party was forgotten- Senor Rico was their only concern. Suddenly without warn- ing the trumpets were heard-the time had come. Two enormous body guards faced the crowd. Their skin seemed to reflect the scene and their eyes glowed as if lighted by the Evil One himself. The first victim was drawn forward by some strange unknown force as the Senor was waving his hands over an enormous crystal ball placed in the center of a richly furnished room. His head slowly moved forward and sound went forth even though the rest of his body seemed lifeless. My friends, as you very well know, l am about to tell you what fate has in store for you. Now as my crystal ball grows clearer, I can plainly see your successes, failures, and attempts and plights of life. I will hereby try to describe them to you as they are portrayed to me through my crystal ball: Dorothy Freeman and Vera Baker are star reporters for the New York Times. Melbert Dixon is a singer in the Metropolitan Opera. Bill Cash, Cloyce Rogers, and Peck Byrum have been transferred to the naval air base in Hawaii, after receiving their wings at Pensacola, Florida. Edwin Gilreath and Albert Hand are operating a prosperous bus line between New York City and Miami, Florida. Neva Cox is the foreign language teacher at Berryhill. Frank Watson, a prominent physician of Charlotte, is steadily gaining fame in the surgical world with Emily McOinn, his very efficient nurse, at his side. Sarah Walker, Muriel Hawfield. and Katherine Loy are nurses working at the Charlotte Sanitorium. Pearl Rufus and Frances Adams are artists' models in New York City. Orville and Paul Thompson are partners in the Thompson Antique Company. Esther Mae Grier is head librarian at the Charlotte Public Library with Jackie Payne and Hilda Larrisey as her assistants, Mac Brown has just completed a play almost equal to Shakespeare's Hamlet Frank Arrington is operating a linotype machine for The Charlotte Observer. Wilson Byrum is a successful traveling salesman for Scott Drug Company with Dorothy Beacham as his private secretary. Helen Stegall and Virginia Smith are secretaries to the president of the First National Bank, Earl Cloninger. Dawson Deshields and Sonny Dixon are playing baseball with the Wash- ington Senators.
