I passed along Broad- way in a thoughtful mood. Looking up I saw a sign Madame La Buche-Crystal Gazer. Look into the Future. Inquisitive to know what my classmates would be doing ten or fifteen years from now I decided to go in and ask the Madame Upon inquiring I found that she wouldbe glad to tell me for fifty cents. I fol- lowed her into a heavily draped, dark room where the magic crystal rested on a tripod. She told me to concentrate on the different members of the class. This I did, and as the different members were recalled, she revealed the follow- ing facts: In the professional world we see Earl Starnes Ailor, Attorney-General for the state of Ten- nessee, a promising candidate for governor of the state. Doctor Benjamin Caswell Ogle has become a famous brain surgeon. His capable assistant is Mary Hutson. Doctor Joseph Lyon is a well known baby specialist. Lucille Parker following in her father's footsteps is also a doctor. Mrs. Robert Armstrong, formerly Jean Sit- ton, lives in a swanky apartment on Fifth Ave- nue, New York, Freida Coleman is nurse maid for Bob, Jr. and little Jean. Red Bailes and Bob Suffridge, former foot- ball stars at Central are joint coaches at Carter's High School. I And who would have thought it! Louise Harris is entertaining the children every after- noon at 4 o'clock by telling fairy stories over the radio. Keith Ogle and J. C. Burkhart are joint owners of a large chain of grocery stores throughout the South. Managing some of their many stores are Bill Hatcher, Herbert Mullins, and Kenneth Strange. Elvarez Broome, Mar- garet Seale, Sara Vise and Helen Livengood are teachers in a secretarial school, with Jean XVin- ningham as President. .. Now we are touring the United States, Reece Acuff and Ella Fansler giving organ and piano concerts. Also of international fame in the music world are Charles Selby, Eleanor McTeer, and H. E. Cate. In the field of radio on the Sweetheart Soap program, one of the most popular of the day, we si , W, .. . ,ALL 4..-.':..-A-J--Y-W find the Three Dis QEvelyn Denton, Kathleen Dukes and Betty Davisj. Singing with Ray XVoolrich's orchestra are Oscar Wfilhite, Don Henderson, Albert Harris and Jack Shipe. George Miller is featured on this program, as master of ceremonies. ' On the staff of the Norris Herald are Charles Wfebb, editor-in-chief, Lawrence Mc- Neil, assistant editorg Heyward Davis, reporter, Billie D. Stamps, cartoonist, and of all things! Irene Smith writing 'tAdvice to the Lovelornf' From Hollywood comes the news of the two famous stars, Katherine Mason, and XVilliam Tipton co-starring in a new picture expected to be the hit of the season. Some taking minor roles are: LaVerne Harbison, Mary Hill, and Howard Anderson. The picture is under the direction of Harvey Nichols and is photographed by Ed Fleming. The costumes for the picture were designed by Jeanette XVinkle, and the script was written by Mavis Mingle. Billie Dee Roberts and Wfalter Hickle have settled down to a happy married life. Walter owns and manages a shoe store. XVith their names in lights and enjoying a successful season on Broadway, are Elaine Towle and james Floyd-the most popular dance team of the day. On the Flub-Dub Transcontinental Air Lines we find two former Central students, Elizabeth Roberts is hostess on the same giant plane that is piloted by Charles McCarty. In the big tents of the Wforden-Johnson Circus, including the owners, we find many graduates of the class of ,37 from Central. The barker before the big tent who warns everyone that the show is about to begin is none other than Hodges West. Once inside the big tent we see first Hugh Hill almost unrecognizable as the clown who entertains people as they find their seats. In the course of the show we recognize these peoplez. graceful bareback rider, Ruth Hopsong Hazel Ryan and her trained sealsg the sensational trapeze artists, Lelia and Marie COD- pockg fearless J. R. Hunley, lion tamer. The most daring act of the evening-the shooting of the Myers-Roy and Roberta from the gigantic cannon. After this tense mood comes Miss Anne Fain Sims with her soothing Pony and Poodle Dogv act. In the side show is the strong man, Bee Stallings. I 15
