PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF ’58 The Time: 1968 The City: Washington Our job: Cops The story: Miss Mary Hazel Moore, one of the richest women in the United States, has called us in to search for her missing jewels. We believe them to be anywhere in the vicinity of the United States or Alaska. We are going to start by contacting some of her closest friends. Our search will take us all around the country. We shall begin right here in Washington, where she is presently staying. Then we intend to go to her home town, where quite a number of her friends are living. Since the President is a good friend of hers, we shall see him first. As we are talking to the President, who is Mr. John Leimone,his charming wife comes in. We discover she, the former Kathryn Woodcock, is also a friend of Miss Moore. We go on to a large hospital in Washington to see Dr. Gene Ballard, one of the world's greatest baby doctors. We meet his assistant, Miss Joyce Brinkley, who is working to complete the examination of one of his patients. We then talk to a scientist who is really coming up in the world. We find him, Professor EdwardFedoronko, giving a statement to the press: After a long and tedious struggle, I have finally sent up the United States' first successful around-the-world satellite. Before going on to Burgaw, we see Miss Moore's lawyer, Mr. Bob White Johnson. Discovering that he hasn't found out any information leading to the missing jewels, we decide to leave. Upon arriving in Burgaw, we visit Burgaw HighSchool. As we enter the door, we see Mr. Johnny Smith sitting in the office behind the desk. His name is on the door as principal. He tells us that Mr. Thompson, the well- loved principal before him,has now retired. While we are talking to him, Miss Julia Rivenbark comes in. She is now the secretary and commercial teacher of this school. As we leave the school, we see some one we recognize, Miss Sharon Harrell, now a famous Metropolitan Opera star, who with some friends are home on a visit. While in Burgaw, we see Mr. Whrens Williams who has become sole owner of the many lumber companies in the United States. We take a drive in the country and find that Pete Farrior and Mike Boryk have one of the leading trucking businesses in the world. We also have an opportunity to talk to their secretary, Miss Mildred Crews. We also have an opportunity to talk with another one of Miss Moore's friends, the former Miss Judy Wooten. She has married one of her hometown sweethearts and has opened a nursery for children in her home. Rocky Point has become one of the leading cities in North Carolina, and its main drug center is owned and run by Dr. Linwood Hewett, a noted pharmacist. One the other side of Burgaw, in Maple Hill,we visit Jimmy Powers, District Attorney, who has just broken up a ring of burglars working the state of North Carolina. We discover that two of Miss Moore's friends are now living in Raleigh, North Carolina. Mr. Tommy Karwoski and Mr. Tommy Hor sky have opened a dance studio and are now giving lessons on a new Elvis Presley Sambo. By the way, that dance step has overrulled the old-fashioned bop steps. In Durham, we visit Professor Andrew Katalinic, who teaches Biology at Duke University. While we are in Chapel Hill we decide to see the Reverend Barden Lanier, to get his opinion on the missing jewels, only to find himperforming a marriage ceremony of two of Miss Moore's old and dear friends. Their story is a simple one. Right after graduating from high school Sheila Lanier went to work for the News and Observer and worked her way up to star reporter. Morris Shad Herring went to Carolina, became an all-star player on the basketball team and later came back to coach at his Alma Mater. One of Sheila's jobs was to interview him, and their romance took spark again. Now we see them in front of the altar taking the marriage vows. 25

CLASS PROPHECY In Wilmington we learn that Floyd Rivenbark has taken over the Comedy Hour on Channel 6. Two of his main comedians are Phyllis Wooten and Ronald Wooten. Now we'll go to Florida and make one quick stop in Tampa to visit Miss Mamie Chadwick, who has started a chain of stores all around the world, Mamie's 5 and 10. Our next stop is California. In many stores we see advertised a new formula for a lipstick that cannot be removed without a special cream. This lipstick was invented by Miss LaVonne, the former Miss Bedie McKoy. Also, we visit Miss Antoinette, the former Miss Jo Ann Riggs, who is now a hair stylist working for Metro Goldwyn Mayer. While we are in the wild and woolly West, we call on Mrs. Judy Ruddell, who together with her husband, owns a large ranch where they raise riding ponies. Their ranch is located in Oklahoma. We are going to travel to Alaska to visit another close friend of Miss Moore's, Miss Ann Batson, who has been sent by the President on a special mission to Alaska. While Miss Batson is there, she will visit a dear friend whom she hasn't seen since she was about seventeen years old. Now back in the states, we stop in Chicago and see Miss Ellen Lanier, who has become one of the most noted social workers in the United States. After our little chat with Miss Lanier, we notice crowds rushing to a large fire. We see the Chief of the Fire Department, Eugene Wells, rushing to and fro. Nothing anyone has had to say has added any clues to the case of the missing jewels. We shall travel on to New York to see if our luck is any better. Our first stop will be at a very exclusive night club, The Silver Cane. We find out that the owners are Philip Moore and Don Augustine. We rush to have a talk with Mr. David Marshburn and Mr. Vernon Murray, who have kindly consented to spare us a few minutes of their time before leaving on another wild game hunt in Africa. Well, up to this point,no one has helped us very much. In fact, we have no information to addat all. While we are resting, we decide to turn on television and watch a quiet program. The program is none other than Matinee Theater, of which the producer is Don Barber. The play now showing on the theater is Murder in the Night, which has been revised many times for many different theaters by the great writer, Miss Mary Ann Kraynick. Two of the leading members in the cast are Miss Oola La, the former Miss Patsy Croom, and Miss Bright Star, the former Miss Betty Lou Richardson, both of whom gave such superb performances in the Junior play while in high school. After the play is over, we switch stations in time to catch the last few minutes of the crowning of Miss Universe. The title goes to our own lovely Miss Virginia Williams. We would give up hope here, but there is another stop, so we won't be discouraged until the very end. At the last stop, we enter the office of the world-famous fashion designer, Madame Betty Lou Powers. We see two gracious models, Carolyn Cooper and Jane Chadwick, standing on a platform modeling lovely evening gowns. As we come closer, we discover that they are wearing the stolen jewels. Of all the people we have seen and had planned to visit, the very ones who were mixed up in the stealing of the jewels, were the last ones on our list of her friends. But now, this case is closed and sealed and is never to be opened again by Miss Mary Hazel Moore. Signed: Sergeant Friday and Officer Smith (Alias: Carolyn Cooper and Jane Chadwick) 26
