1 Class Prophecy When the difficult task of prophesying the future of my illustrious classmates was allotted to me— you can imagine my consternation. How could I possibly even attempt to know anything about the future of such a large group of varied individuals •? How- ever, mtutition finally prompted me to contact a crystal-gazer of international fame Much to my surprise he did heed the request of one as insignificant as I and loaned me a valuable crystal for one hour, in which I could discern quite distinctly my class- mates in the situations which I shall relate to you. Up and down the corridors of Carver, talking and chatting with the members of the senior class, and looking into the crystal-gazer, how amazing and e.xciting to know that some day Raymond Henderson will become President of Howard University in Washington, D. C; Grace Henderson will be studying toward her PH D at the Univer- sity of Southern California. On a tour of Paris, I walked into Robert Richmond, Jr. , who had signed a con- tract with one of the most exclusive night clubs in Paris for six months and to my surprise Charles McRae was male vocalist. On my way back to the states, listening to the news over the Radio, flash-Lewis Clawson has just been appointed to succeed Robert Young as Ambassador to Russia. Walking down F Street in Washington I met one of my very charming classmates, Gracie Pegues, who now holds a govern- ment position there in the Pentagon Building. She told me that Misses Hill and Cooper were there also. Talking about school days and other classmates, I was quite aston- ished to find: Wilbur B. Stinson is now Chief Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court. Clarence Bellamy and James Alexander are now law partners. Turnbo McEachin and Wilbur btinson. Scientists, are working at the Hydrogen Bomb plant William Grier is now the owner of Grier ' s Dry Cleaning and Laundry, accomo- dating more than 5. 000 people weekly. Robert L. Harrison and Connie Patton are owners and operators of one of the most fabulous night clubs in Charlotte Jesse r ' f o nt- ' ' ' ' Spencer have become the first Negro traveling salesmen for The ? , ; ° Company in America. Claud Boyc is traveling Auditor for North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company of Durham, North Carolina. Richard Stewart traveling °u I Atlanta Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Georgia. Edward Sims and John Russell are on the Staff at Atlanta University. Thomas Cuthberston and John Hunter practicing medicine in the state of Ohio. Robert Brace, Dorothy Gabriel and Bruce Johnson are out on the West Coast being screened for the movies Other members of the class are married, most of them rearing families and doing well In this year of 1967, we find that Carver Junior College is under the fine leader- ship and direction of the very efficient and capable Mr. Samuel A. Moore, and is now one of the most outstanding Junior Colleges in North Carolina and in the year of 1968 Carver will become a four year accredited College.
