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
