CLASS PROPHECY On june 6, 1961, as my rocket ship glided to a halt after mv return trip from a vacation on Starlite Beach, Moon, I gazed into the horizon to see several flying saucers approaching. Much to my amazement, as the saucers drew near, I recognized the Hiers to be Betty Springs and Margaret Rhyne, two of my dear ole school- mates back at Berryhill High School. I 1 just when I was sliding out of my rocket ship they recognized me and came rushing over. After exchanging greetings we decided to have dinner so we could talk over our days back at Berryhill. I rushed to the nearest phone to inform my husband, Carl Sutton, who is now President of General Motors, Inc., of our special guests. Since Betty was scheduled to sing at the Stork Club at 9:00, Carl quickly called the hostess, Nancy Morris, and reserved the table nearest the orchestra. 1 As we entered, the sweet music of Berryhill's Alma Mater filled our ears. After we were seated, the music ended, the leader turned to us, and we were surprised to see that it was none other than Don Hamilton, another chap from home. He and Nancy joined us at our table, and together, the six of us, with what we knew, linked together little by little the fate of the Seniors of 51. Up until her marriage to jimmy Bigham, Margaret was a Powers Model. Marjorie Brown is running on the Democratic-Ladies ticket in the next election for President of the United States and has as her loyal campaign manager lV1elvin McIntosh. It was recently published in the New York Times, edited by Charles Hickman, that my sister-in-law, Mrs. Mary Ellen Smith, has won the Mother of the Year award for 1961. james Parker gets involved in many lawsuits since he is such a promising lawyer.
