To the left of the crystal ball I see GENEVA GATEWOOD and JUANITA GATEWOOD sitting in nearby office taking dictation. Both young ladies at this time have received their M-R-S degrees. Somewhere nearby, there stand EMMA McCLAIN, BETTYE GABRIEL, NANCY FOX, PATRICIA STITT, and DOROTHY DAVIS. These five young ladie are awaiting an interview with the same Real Estate Broker. Each young lady has her fingers crossed, hoping to be th« lucky one to get the job. To the right of the crystal ball I see RICHARD REID, ROOSEVELT BOULEWARE, ROBERT VANCE, and JACK BENSON, all gone into business together. About two blocks from this place of business stands an insurance company where JAMES McCLAIN is the head manager, quite small of course, but the center of attraction. Around the curve and over the hill stands a fabulous, bright building with all the trimmings. This building is two blocks in length. Working in this building are a number of Carverteans; namely, EMANUEL BAGBY, GLADYS WALLS, LARRY FULLER, SARAH HAFER, MILDRED THOMPSON, BARBARA FOSTER, JERRY LILLY, and WYLIE LITTLE. In the center of this crystal ball is really where the opportunities start. Several well-known French instructors gathered at the White House for an important meeting. They are: MARION MANSEL, ALICE DIAMOND, ROBERT MAXWELL and ANNE McGRIFF. VERNELL SADLER and MAGGIE HOLLOWAY are Executive Secretaries in large offices in the White House. CHARLIE HART, WALTER RORIE, JOITN NAIL, and ROBERT PYANT have joined the Evangelist, Billy Graham, in other countries spreading the Gospel over the world. I could just go on and on, naming various persons of the Sophomore Class and their future occupations. If I revealed all of our plans, then there would be no surprises for you in the future. Therefore, I will stop here and let you figure out the rest.
