Hospital and Lillian Brinson was a nurse for the most outstanding Physicist in the state of Virginia, William Baker. I saw Richard Sauls, a famous Chemist in his laboratory doing research on a nation- wide project. My dream then took me on a visit in the Western portion of the U. S. I regarded Elizabeth Bizzell, Virginia Kelly, and Mary Owens performing duties in their communities as Practi- cal Nurses. As this scene began to change, I cast a backward glance at Memorial Hospital. There I saw Christine Henderson and Geraldine Kornegay as Surgicial Nurses going into Surgery. Down the street William Robinson and Earl Wright were successful Morticians. My scenery traveled at a rapid pace throughout the country, but it slowly decreased for I saw mem- bers of the class of 1962 helping those less fortunate than themselves. Lawrence Brewington was a de- voted Social Worker, Lillie Pearsall, now married, was a famous Sociologist and Alice Adams, who had devoted her life's work to helping children, was a Child Psychologist. Faster it traveled again until it focused on the people who had had an interest in Business. A convention, I soon learned, was the reason why smartly dressed women were continously entering the Ritz Hotel in New York City. Upon entering and inquiring at the desk, I was told that this was the Beauticians' Convention. Such famous Beauticians as Annie Best, Doris Ezzell, Elaine Faison, and Annie Frazier were already present. Nancy Barfield, Alice Green, and Ruby Smith were expected to fly in from California that evening. Vernann Armwood was a successful Hair Stylist in New York. Peggy A. Holloman and Beulah String- field were Paris 's leading Fashion Designers. Donial Codgell was at the height of his Artist career in Florida's coast. While visiting the Empire State Building and several offices, I chatted with Annie Outlaw and Mary Kornegay, Secretaries. They told me that several of our classmates were working as secretaries in the building with them. They were Minnie Bizzell, Doris Flowers, Betty Lamb, and Marva Lee. While traveling upward, saw myself, Carol Cobb, as an Executive Secretary and Ruby Jones as a Typist. Shirley Faison, whom I stopped and chatted with, told me that she was married and working as a Telephone Operator for Bell Telephone Company. My dream ended with a homeward journey to North Carolina. The surroundings were unfamiliar. I saw a familiar face and stopped to inquire about my surroundings and some of my classmates. Larry Durham informed me that he was a successful Mechanic and that Larry McGowan, and Eddie Raynor were also Mechanics living in various parts of the state. He informed me that Robert Bowden, Dennis Kelly, and Lemond McKinney were Barbers in Goldsboro. Class Prophetess CAROL COBB

Gfass CPropfiecy Classmates, it is a well-known saying often proven true, that Coming events cast their shadows before. Therefore, it is not hard as many people suppose for one who takes the trouble to study the comings and goings of his fellow-creatures, to be something of a prophet, and to form some idea of what their future course of action will be. I have, just for the sake of practice, or as a means of preparation, kept a sharp eye on all of you, when you were perhaps unaware that you were being observed or studied at all; so I feel that I have judged with some degree of accuracy the lives into which your personal characteristics and inclinations have led you. A vision of the future in the form of a dream appeared to me recently. It was a strange and unusual dream; yet, a revealing one of my classmates of 1962. The courses of their lives had led them into many careers. I saw Delmas Davis, George Grandy, and Levernal Langley as members of the Armed Forces. Jimmy Price and Robert Wheeler were Pilots in the Air Forces, flying the latest jets. Cora Jackson was also serving her country in the Air Force. Hooper Monk, a successful Politician, was for- ever debating with members of Congress. As my scenery began to change, I caught a glimpse of that famous Guitarist, Bobby Swinson as he prepared to appear on the Ed Sullivan Show. Also awaiting their appearance were the Cordells, con- sisting of Earl Wright, Vernon Robinson, Franklin Miller, and Lonnie Bennett, Their latest song was number one throughout the nation. My dream began to take another course, this time to the sport spotlights of the United States. There I saw Billie Southerland, James Robinson, Henry Gaines, and Carl Best, as Professional Basket- ball stars, onto the court ! The actions they were displaying were true reflections upon the excellent coaching they had received in former years. As I continued into the future further, I saw those who were exhibiting their excellent abilities in the teaching profession. Janet Bell, Delores Fields, Franklin Miller, Rachel Wall, and Myrtle Bymun - were behind their desks in vari ous classrooms instructing their students. In the high school department I saw Amelia Jones as a Social Studies teacher and Doris Royall as a Commercial Instructor. Dorothy Grady, Janet McClain, and Fredrick Waters were considered the most outstanding Mathematicians in their field. Wendell Stuton was a successful Doctor of Medicine in Washington, D. C. Walking down the corridors of General Hospital were several Registered Nurses who looked familiar. As I studied each of them more closely, I recognized them as Wilma Hooker, Mary Goodman, Donnie Flanagan, Shirley Louis, and Juliateen Wright. Across the city, Marjorie Worrell was a Registered Nurse at Walter Reed
