The Prophecy Among the senior class of 19$2, there are many interesting person- alities, many of them going far in this wide, wonderful world. Although heartbreaks and failure lie behind and great obstacles ahead, we, the seniors of •52 are still struggling for those childhood visions of happiness, fame, and fortune. We are going to tell you what has happened to us in the ten years following our graduation. Jeff Burton, a brilliant young lawyer, easily won a divorce case for Lucy Sexton from Emory Comer, the result of a wrecked car which forced her to stay at home too much. She is now leaving for Japan with her three little Comers to meet Ray Bnerson, her ex-fiance. Nancy Pauley, Bobby Lee Muncy, and Frances Billings are getting settled easily to Morehead married life even if it did require quite a few adjustments. Nancy gave up her dress designing career, Bobby Lee retired as x-ray technician, and Frances gave up her Job as Supervisor of Women's Division at the Bastian Sportswear Factory. Libby Wyatt has firmly established herself as editor of a daily newspaper The U.S. Newsletter” to which seven-eighths of the people of the nation subscribe. Roberta Kitts and Margaret Pruett have recently opened a swank beauty parlor in Chicago. Most of their business is man- icuring men's nails. The old proverb, beauty attracts holds true here. Norma Jean Waddle and David Hubble are successfully married and have six small sons. Julia and Donald are still as inseparable as ever. There are three additions, triplets, to the family now. Dolly ‘flicwwander has her date book full since she became a million- aire overnight try discovering the new atomic element Billium. We've tried hard to guess where she got the ndme for it.Evelyn Tickle is North Carolina's representative in Congress.' She has been in the council of the city government for five years. Since Billy Hylton and Nancy Muncy have finally gotten serious and pushed Sock out of the way, Billy is his old self again. Bobby Stacy is now pitcher for the New York Yankees. They have won all their games so far this season, so he really must be good. He can't possibly have much time for the girls, or can he? Edward Havens has really made a big name for himself as the world's heavy weight champion. Clayton Wright has won the Pulitzer Prize for his novel A Wonder- ful Life which is complete with illustrations by Billy Parnell. Every- one is wondering who the beautiful red head is that Clayton dedicated the book to. Ned Wright is handy-man for Margie Blankenship. Probably some- day he will inherit one of the Blankenship millions. Robert(Baby Newton)Morehead is raising pure-bred angus bulls and is considered one of the two best catches in Hollybrook. The other is Rqdney Morehead. We can't imagine Rodney being single, especially since he bought himself a new yellow convertible and has all the girls chasing him in circles. Earl McPeak has Just assumed the position as mayor of Martinsville. We hope he changes the town into the wonderful place which we already thought it was. Donna Jean Kitts has completed eight years of secretarial work and is now private secretary to our United States President, Gib Repass. You don't have to have book sense to be smart, says Jeep. Leona Collins is still that dainty little girl. She's dainty now as top star on Broadway. Maxine Estep is co-starring in MGM's latest musical. Ethel Burton and Jerry are touring the country. Their last stop is to be Washington where they are planning to shake hands with the President of the U.S. who,of course, is their classmate, Geep Repass. Last are those three school stooges, Mary Ella Dillow, Jean Hoosier, and Nell Vanover, who are starring on television's new hit Silly Sisters? Nell finally got over her crush on Serber King and we're all very glad because we were Jealous anyway.
