CLASS PROPHECY Let us jook through the arch and see those of 1960 that we Itnew in 1950. Some of em. perhaps, thought that they would never see such a triumphant and prosperous future. It s June 18th., 1960 and I decided I would like to take a vacation. My first stop was 0 e as Kusler Air Force Base where I visited a friend. Later we decided to visit the hospital and sec another friend. We were admitted in the hospital by two doctors, whom I recogni2ed to be James Houser and Donald Matthews. While going down the hall to our friend’s room, we saw the head nurse, Mary Williams. Then later we heard calls for several nurses on different floors. Jean Lamb, Violet Brooks, and Annie Patton were wanted on the fourth floor, while Anna Shouse, Emma Lattern and Perry Means were wanted on the fifth floor. Visiting hour was coming to a close, so we had to be on our way. On our way back, we saw a collision of two cars. It was just luck that Hazel Porter, Anna Sprinkle, Catherine Phillips, Veronica Douglas, Betty Taylor and Thressa Correll were off duty that afternoon and had started downtown to shop. They administered First Aid until Mclllwain came in his ambulance. The following week, I decided I would go downtown shopping. In one of the shops 1 had a dress fitted by Virginia Caldwell. We chatted about our high school days and we planned a date for the following evening to go sight-seeing. Later that evening we went to see Rosa Johnson. After tucking the baby in she enter- tained us the rest of the evening. On Wednesday afternoon, I was invited to a luncheon consisting of doctors and lawyers. I recognized two of the lawyers as James Robinson and John Martin. They said their office was only two blocks down from Arthur Payne and Carnell Landingbam. My vacation had ended at Kusler Air Force Base, so my next stop was at Detroit, Michigan where I ran across Queen E. McIntosh. She had started to work downtown where she was a dress designer. Later that afternoon she took me over on the campus of Wayne University. I was introduced to Franklin Robinson, the president of the college. We visited a few of the classrooms after looking around the campus. I found Barbara Caudle, Barbara Shore, and Virginia Kimbrough as English instructors. Then we went to the cafeteria to buy a sandwich, and found Peggy Hairston as the dietitian. We had planned to attend a movie later that evening, so we had to be on our way. We went to “The Downtown Paradise”, for the late show. Lorraine Thomas sang a beautiful opera solo. The performance was closed with a trumpet solo by Samuel Stimp- son. Everyone seemed to be in a rust. And I found they were getting autographs. My vacation was coming to a close, so my last stop was in Paris, Kentucky. My first stop was to find a room. I went to the Hotel Ambassador. I went to the desk, and there I found Denoris Cloud and Camilla Lash acting as his secretary. They sent me to the desk of information. There I was supplied with all the necessary information by Frances Miller. On Saturday afternoon we went to the football game being played between Kentucky State and Clark College, of Atlanta. Harold McClure, Harvard Hajrston, and Otis Massey really played their parts. Frank O’Neal and Hubert Caldwell made two touchdowns in the last quarter to win the game. Pattie Last was crowned “Miss Kentucky State”, with Ruby Moses, Margaret Shouse, and Deloris Black as her attendants. The next day was Sunday, and it was time for my vacation to end. Now I must get back and be fresh and ready for my job Monday morning. For Charles Buie and Carnell Landingham are always there at 8:00 sharp. Mildred Kimbrough
