Senior Class Prophecy When the duty of foretelling the fates of my classmates fell upon me, I real- ized fully the trust committed to me, and, in order to insure them a fair deal, I resolved to confer with the ashes of Isaiah and the venerable Samuel, hut upon approaching tin gate of the Underworld, a guard in brazen armor bade me retrace my steps and not disturb the repose of the saints. After this rebuff, I was about to consult the oracle of Apollo, when suddenly I remembered being a captive once among some Gypsies, from whom I learned many slight-of-hand tricks such as fortune telling and palm reading. Why not resort to these instead of the shades of the ancients? No sooner was tin» plan con- ceived than adopted. So, attired in Gypsy garb, I seat myself in a small enclosure and receive my classmates in turn, and read their fates from their palms. I desire that each as he hears the result of my reading and issues again into the light may form milder judgment than this: “I hate her, for she doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil.” The lines I scrutinize and, letting my mind wander into the future ten years hence, I behold each in his respective sphere: Baxter Timberlake, is a distinguished banker of Atlanta, very happy with Blanche Martin for his wife. Martha Bailey has at last reached the height of her ambition, she is now head nurse in a hospital. Robert Parker is a civil engineer. He and Frances Smith have stopped quar- reling and are living very peacefully in their “Sweet Little Nest Somewhere in the West.” Ella Mangum is one of Washington’s most popular belles. As an actress she is second to none in the country, and her reputation has long ago berm established among all lovers of the opera. J. B. Walters and M. Lucille Johnson were our class poet and poetess. Time has not been unkind to them—their poems are read all over the country. Helen Dry and Genevieve Woodson have just returned from Europe where they have been making a tour of tin continent. Thy are artists, known every- where for their beautiful paintings. Baxter Upchurch is running a restaurant in the town of Apex. He has been very successful in business. This glaring headline, printed in box car capitals, recently appeared in the New York American: “MISS IRENE BARBEE, THE SEASON’S GREAT- EST SINGER.” Who would have thought it? Vivian Penny is lady principal of Cary High School. She has this inscription written over the door of the girls’ dormitory: “No man’s land let no man enter on pain of death.” Jessie Clifton has finished in music and is now teaching at Meredith. Several members of the Class of ’21 have drifted back to Cary: Judson Man- gum has succeeded Superintendent Dry. He has been there only a short time. Sadie Shearon and Clina Norwood are teaching Home Economics there. Bernard Pleasants is druggist since Mr. Baucom moved away. Schlesinger Foushee has succeeded his father in business on the Corner. If you chanced to go through Cary on a car, running twenty miles per hour, I am sure Dennis Upchurch would get your number since he is speed cop. Page Twenty-one
