After looking through the Senior section of the Legend.I get very anxious to see the rest of my classmates. And we start withafairly clear picture. The Crystal Ball flashes across the Mason-Dixon Line again and to the same. professional building that Horacé was in. There is Harold Keyser studying a volume of law books, sovevidently he received his degree of law. This little machine has done some wonders while I have been here, it has picked-up people in Hawaii, and Canada where Shelby Lockamy is happily married to a man of Air Force Blue. Now a flash from Canada back to Harnett County where Bill Matthews is the sole owner of amass producing motor factory of '195' ford engines. (What's he got against the world, any way'?) «= Watching the Crystal Ball flash back and forthfrom one section of the country to the other, I came to the conclusion that you need a good vehicle to get around in these days, and the Crystal © Ball shows Eddie McLeod doing his part by offering us any model that the Ford Motor Company puts out in his large Ford motor sales lot in Angier. 4 7 : SE The Crystal Ball goes blank, andthe wizardhas a very disgusted look on his face. I tremble with fear as he gets up from his seat andvery angrily beats his fists. I know he is going to ask ¢ for more money or beat the fool out of me like he did the table. I was right. He asks for mor money and I gladly hand it over. 4 y Se With avery vague picture we see Mickey Ramer's Civil Engineer's Office on Elk's Mountain, — funny he doesn't seem to be around at the time. I wish that the Class of '65 has stayed alittle, — closer together, for it seems.a big strain on the little machine. Now after a few static outburts by the Crystal Ball we go tothe mountains where we find Ralph Reardon as chief electrician of on alarge T.V.A. project. | BA iy 2 . } Ohboy, it's a flash to Washington where we find Annie Lee Sawyer,prancing, around the” — capitol building’as an executive advisor to the President. , 4 Y gpa While-in Washington we find’ Bari Stone discussing with a group of dignitaries, a model missile, which he designed and proved excellent. 4 q Uh-oh, We gotta go to California where Judy Stewart is training a group of girls for the Olympic swimming team. I can see her left hand and she is not married. I know the wizard is getting fed up with this traveling mess. Well, here we go again back to Washington where we find Marilyn Stewart working as a personal secretary to the President of the U.S.A. ” The wizard tells me very kindly that we won't be able to get a picture of Joyner Taylor, except at personal appearances with his very own popular band, The Classmates. I let the wizard know that I am not sore and that I understand. (Ha,Ha, ) We now see Gene Thornton as a Highway Supervisor and he is trying his best to get his crew to build a new road from his house to Benson. It looks as though David Turlington is finally busy, now he is a druggist, and owns several drug stores throughout the country. Watch those drugs, Turlington! The Crystal Ball makes a great bright flash to Rex Hospital where Mary Lee Turpin is cheering up patients and making them feel more relaxed, since she was promoted to head nurse position inthe hospital. | With a few small flashes we see Hartwell Upchurch competing against Eddie McLeod in the Ford Motor sales division. rf % 3 We now see Bill Weaver looking over the salés report of one of his chain clothing stores ‘that he has inthis'section ofthe state. The Crystal Ball has another mechanical tempertantrum, and this upsets the wizard andhetells meto get out. I'tell him that there is just one more class- mate to go.and that I have already paid to see the person.. So here we have last but not least no other than Frankie Wilder standing over a-large quantity of chemicals which he is testing for a large chemical plant. As I leave the dilapidated house, and the old wizard, fussing, and fighting with the table, I feel no trembles in my knees, nor any butterflies in my. stomach;’ but there are tears dripping from my eyes’and I think about my classmates and all the things we did together--such as the arguments anddisagreements we had, a ll the planning and work we did, and all the happiness and sadness weshad. The most treasuréd thing about our class was that in case of problems, they were solved. Oh, how I wish I Gould relive those marvelous days. Prophet, Mickey Ramer
