SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY First as we look through the Crystal Ball, into that mysterious realm known as the future, we see Rosie Bobo as manager of the Airline Department in Puetto Rico. Four years from now we find Alberta Mister as a police-woman in Dragnet in San Francisco. Doris King a year from now is a very busy housewife. As we look further in the future we see Flee- ta Battle as Private Secretary to Lawyer Ver- leane West, in an air conditioned office in Ha- waii. Now we see Bertha Fitzpatrick blowing the craziest jazz of all on her crazy saxophone in a famous band. As we look in the time of space we see Evelyn Rouse as a cosmetologist in New York, also Augusta Sipho is flying one of the Greatest Airplanes in the world and would you believe it, she is an Airline Hostess. BOY! Florence Anderson is competing in one of the world's largest beauty contests of history, and this is only two years after gradua- tion. Farther and farther into the crystal ball we see Mary Miller flying from coast to coast as a Private Airline Secretary. As the crystal ball continues to turn we see Dr. Lloyd Jenkins with Eula Starks as his pa- tient. He is trying to get her brains i0 function so that he can give them to Rosie Pulley. Later we see Herman Miller trying to get on show with Pat Boone, Levelle Eggleston is serving as his manager. Further in the future you will see Kitttell Kyles and James Whitelow have started a show on T.V. that have put the Stooges out of busi- ness. They call themselves the X Two lmps. Further we will see Issac Bell, Troy Hall, Leroy Mitchell, Steve Manns being arrested as burglars. They have broken in The Holmes 81 Phillips Liquor Store which is owned by Charles Holmes and Edward Phillips. Trawick is doing the arresting. Policeman Aron As we gaze into the future a little farther we see Inez Thompson after four years a major in Home Economics, teaching children and she is married to the famous singer and pianist W.R.H. Now that you are looking at your crystal ball you will see Army Dene Harris baby sitting for L. D. Jennings. Gazing farther into the crystal ball and BOY! it is still turning toward success and enjoyment, Ruth Yvonne Key is standing tall and handsome as a police directing the kids across 5th Avenuei after the Easter Parade. She is still climbing, she will be promoted next month, which is May 1, 1967. As we gaze further we see that Freeman Pickett has graduated from the best school of art in Chicago, Illinois. Later on we see Calvin Flowers graduating from the best school in Kansas City, Missouri, as a Labortory Technican. Ah! It is coming in more clear, I see Gloria Raglon in Chicago doing Social Work, and Mattye Griggs is teaching first grade in Los Angeles, California. Homer Parker is now in the US. Air Force, training to be an Engineer. Marie Burden is an exchange teacher from the US. to Africa. Yes! Centralls Ballad Trio are appearing the world over-Maxcine Martin, Stella Kylce and Bettye Robinson. As we gaze further we see that these men are undecided about their future, Jimmy Shearill, Rodiee Clay, James Robinson and Thomas White- horn. For the last four years Evan Pittman, Albert Foster, Atlune Culler and Walter Williams have been playing in the Big Night Club of Los Ange- les, California. Judy Starks is their vocalist. Cleophus and Bobbye Wotthon think that some day they will be Brook Benton and Nat King Cole. they were on the Ennis Lewis Show which was at the Peppers Inn in the North Heights. Looking into the future we see Ella Hall as an executive secretary for a large office in San Francisco, California. They are striving that way because Annie Garmon is an Airline Communication- ist for Trans World Airlines. Lottie Ware is a registered Nurse working in one of H. Mays' Hospitals in St. Louis, Mo. Annis Abner is a school teacher in one of the finest Negro Colleges in the US. She is teaching school in Ruskigue Institute. Marian Terry and Inez Thompson have re- ceived their Bachelor of Science Degree in Ele- mentary Education and Home Economics. Ah! Beauticians. The owners of the noted Come as you are; Leave as a Movie Star , a beauty shop in Paris owned by Ollie Jackson and Elmira Seals. In the last roll of the Crystal Ball you will see Issac Hawkins, James Fitzpatric, James Hersey, Roy Tipler, have signed a contract with Harlem Globe Trotters and James Hersey has taken Medlock Lemmons position. :Whtfs Who NAMES Annis Abner Judy Starks Alberta Mister Ollie Jackson Lottye Ware Augusta Sipho Fleeta Battle Ruth Key Gloria Raglon Rosie Bobo Evelyn Rouse Jeanette Tisdel Erma Harris Rosie Pulley Ella Hall Eula Starks Marion Terry Inez Thompson Matty: Griggs Marie Burden Betty Robinson Annie Garmon Vcrlcanc West Doris King Stella Klyce Bertha Fitzpatric Elmira Seals Maxcine Martin Mary Miller Florence Anderson Herman Miller Charles Holmes Freeman Picket!
