class Prophecy It is hard to believe that ten years have passed since I was a Senior in Bethel High School. I live in Kinston with my husband now. This summer on our vacation we toured the United States. When we were home again, I sat down to look over all my souvenirs and relived parts of the tour. I t h o u g h t of all my old classmates, some of whom I had seen on my trip. In Washington, D.C., we saw Janice Doughtie doing civil service work after a business course at East Carolina, and Connie Garrenton, a well-known social consultant. They told me that Danny Martin lives there too, but he works for the F.B.I, and was currently back in Bethel checking up on Kenneth Whitehurst, the multi-millionaire, to make sure that all his back taxes are paid. In New York we saw Aldine White, Fashion Editor of Vogue magazine, and Garland Briley, an illustrator for the Field and Stream magazine. Lona Manning was there on vacation between Universities . She has degrees from several i n c I u ding Duke and William and Mary. Willard White is living in Detroit where he tests cars for General Motors. In his spare time he drives his own racer at the Indianapolis Speedway. When he ends up in the hospital after a race. Patsy Harris, Superintendent of Nurses in a large hospital there, fixes him up. You ' d never guess who we saw making a Personal Appearance in Hollywood, Charles Ward! I understand he ' s another Elvis ! Helen ferown lives in California now with her husband. She is Jerry Lewis ' s scriptwriter. We stopped by to visit Janie Rollins while we were there. She married a movie producer a few years ago. After our trip it was good to be back home. We relaxed and turned on the tele- vision set to watch Arthur Godfrey ' s program. Anne Stocks is his new secretary. Then we watched a basketball game between North Carolina State and Carolina. We were pulling for State, because Vance Taylor and Tommy Cooper are State ' s star players. In the News and Observer the next morning I noticed these headlines: Be the I Men Return From Success fu I Trip To Moon . Under the heading were pictures of Maurice Davis and Benny Whitehurst. On the front page I read that Glenn Manning had recently become an Admiral in the Navy. An attractive advertisement on the Women ' s page told of Loretta Bullock ' s exclusive new dress shop in Greenville. Soon after graduation in ' 57, Janice Hopewell and Anna Lou Manning said their vows. They both live in Robersonville now and are close neighbors of Barbara Haislip, who has a beautiful new home there. A few of my classmates chose to live in Bethel. William Davenport is the post- master there. Eugene Roberson and Kenneth Williams own large farms in rural Pitt County. Ramon Latham is a Chevrolet dealer and a good one too. Two-thirds of Bethel ' s population drives Chevrolets now! And then there is Manley Bedenbaugh, an engineer. Right now he ' s working on a new bridge for the Bethel-Tarboro four-lane super high- way. I ' m really proud of my classmates. They ' ve helped put Bethel on the map! ROSE PADGETTE
