Class Prophecy In the year of 1962, here, I, Patricia Cantrell, am reviewing my diary which I kept on my tour of the United States with my Senior Class from Chase City High School, I teach Business Education here. I am fully satisfied with my teaching career, and I am still a “Miss ”, I know you are anxious to hear what news I have about my classmates written in this old diary of mine. My first destination was California, drawn there by the anxiety of my students. There I found my old friend, Lillian Rhodes, as a hair stylist for our top movie stars of Holly- wood. Moving farther South to Texas, I crossed an enormous cattle ranch. After inquiring about the ranch, I discovered that the owner was none other than our own Dave Dunn. In the bordering state of Louisiana on the delta, I found James Bing on his hundred acre sugar beet farm. After a conversation with James, I found he did have to go to college at St. Louis to learn about raising sugar beets. As I continued my tour farther north, I decided to stop by Detroit, Michigan to see a game of the World Series. Whom should I find as manager of the winning team, the De- troit Tigers, but our own W. T. Woody, Jr. Naturally these tourists could not leave out New York City. Searching through my mem- ory, I soon remember that Janet Crowder was in New York. Janet after having proved herself such an efficient secretary in Robbin ' s Mill in Clarksville, had been transferred to the head Robbin ’s office there. Janet seemed to like New York, but I couldn’t find out which was most attractive, her work or her men. From New York I traveled southward to Washington, D. C. At Walter Reed Hospital I found Linda Cottrell as head nurse on the second floor, which by the way is the “all men’s floor ’ ’. As I toured the town further, I found that Juanita Phillips was then employed as head librarian in the Congressional Library. Doing very well, I should say. My next stop was at Fort Knox, Kentucky, where I found our former Frances Stone, now a general’s wife. Frances was then an active Red Cross worker. As I was traveling through North Carolina, I stopped by Duke University. Not expect- ing to see anyone I knew, I was quite surprised to hear the loud speaker announce the play- ing of the chimes in the chapel by the great ‘‘Miss Betty Jane Puryear’’. She has come a long way in her music, hasn’t she? I found nearer home, our main ball player, Annie Lee Anderson, then head coach of basketball at Westhampton College i n Richmond, extension of University of Richmond. After a conversation with Annie Lee, I found that she shared a luxurious duplex apart- ment with Thelma Strickler. After taking a business and journalism course, Thelma had worked her way up from a small town secretary to the very distinguished and honored posi- tion of being the first woman editor of the Richmond Times Dispatch. So upon ending this tour, I found the Boydton Seniors of ’52 were the noted and success- ful celebrities, we expected them to be.
