CLASS PROPHECY I have studied my English every way possible and yet I can’t determine the difference between adjective clauses, adverbial clauses, and Santa Clauses. What will Mrs. Kistler say to this? This horrid English has given me the headache. I cast my book aside lazily. Gradually, before I realize the transition, I begin to sense peculiar visions. In Worth Austin s theater on 48th Street, I find myself. A thun- dering musical success, Skit Skat. by Delora Adams, is being presented, with Martha Wright and Benny Shaw as stars. Girls by the carload charm me with their dancing. I am startled when I recog- nize Ruth Rowland and Rebecca Martin as leaders in the chorus. Between the acts Ellen Shu stages a fashion show. Miss America of 1949 and Miss North Carolina of 1950 are the models. They are none other than Doris Stutts and Aileen Ewing. Leaving the theater, I hail a taxi. The driver chews his gum ferociously — Joshua Shields! He gave me a copy of The Charlotte Observer dated November 20, 1949. The glaring headlines read W. C. House elected mayor; Horace Boger, chief of police. Hastily I turn pages. On the editorial page I note that Roy Berry is editor and owner. Other items of interest are: Judge George Belk, of the 18th Judicial District, is holding court this week; Stanley Wisdom, a prominent civil engineer of Asheville, has been assigned the task of planning the Smoky Mountain Park; Earl Sechler has accepted a responsible position with the Duke Power Company in Charlotte; and Max Cobb has been appointed a pilot of Eastern Air Line. The advertisements interest me almost as much as the news items. A full page is given to Oten Sanders’ chain of garages operating in fifteen cities of North Carolina, Jimmy Kerley, as manager. H. B. Polk proprietor of Charlotte Drug Company, is advertising a Rexall Sale: Billy Plummer is advertising his petroleum products from a thoroughly modern service station. One unusual advertisement attracted my attention — Robert Wentz had for sale at reduced prices a surplus stock of peanuts and popcorn. I read with interest a testi- monial that Tom Brown had sent in for Never Bald Hair Tonic. He tells his story of how he has lost so much hair and of how this tonic revived his hair to its former state of health. Back home in my suite in The Roosevelt, I tune in on the radio. Ernest McSwain announces the program. Much to my sur-
