Class Prophecy If, ten years from now, I could stand on top of the highest mountain with a super-power tele¬ scope and look the world over, I wonder if I would see this: In her office in the Empire State Building, Peggy Turrentine is dictating a letter to her sec¬ retary (of all people) Billy Allman. Ah—love triumphed over ambition—Aldena Abernathy has finally given up her teacher’s po- istion at Columbia University to elope with a New York playboy. George Ray Kirk has been elected to take her place, thus seeing the fulfill¬ ment of his lifelong desire to be a school teacher. At the new hospital in China Grove, Superin¬ tendent of Nurses, Betty Sue Graham, is holding a conference with her head nurses, Betty Baker and Virginia Weant. Well, what is this? Ralph Corriher is now “Your Honor.” Judge Corriher is practicing in Salisbury. We certainly never expected to see this. Nina Davis, who was to be an old maid business shark, has married a multimillionaire and does nothing but eat candy and grow fatter and fatter. Maxcine Walter and James Weaver are married and have three children and five hundred pigs. They own (in joint partnership with Robert Feim- ster) the Healthy Hog Farm. The crowd in Yankee Stadium roar as Walter Graham, star pitcher of the year, steps to the mound. His manager is none other than Harold Cauble. The Hep Cats keep pourin’ in at the Paladium in Hollywood every night to hear “Bob Bostian and His Barefoot Barons” featuring Olyve Hauss as vocalist. Mrs. Hazel Vanderford Johnston is seen sitting backstage in the Paramount Theater waiting for her husband “Herb,” the famous comedian. In the Supreme Court Building two lawyers are “battlin’ to a finish”—Howard James and the great criminal lawyer Bill DeMarcus. Surrounded by photographers and newspaper¬ men is Bobbie Gean Barnhardt—“Miss America of 1954.” Bobbie was a nurse before becoming the year’s most popular “Pin-Up” girl. Buell Lowder has now advanced to Bugler 2-C in the Navy. In keeping with the tradition, he has a girl in every port. Tommy Eller and Gerald Herrin are profes¬ sional football players, and Hoy Correll is coach of the China Grove Red Devils. Under the in¬ spired direction of Coach Correll the Red Devils haven’t lost a game. Adjusting the telescope a little I am able to see Monte Carlo, the famous gambling city. Seat¬ ed at one of the roulette tables is Jack Baker who is winning-. Looking north to Paris, I see Clara Goble and Ruby Henrickson in their “La Belle Dame” dress shoppe deluxe, showing Waulena Morris, the fa¬ mous dramatic actress, the latest fashions. Mildred Fesperman, Frances Goodman, and Helen Karriker are still friends working together as stenographers for the Davis Textile Mills, owned and operated by H. T. Davis. In Hollywood again, we are amazed to find Charles Coughenour and Arline Safrit starring in the great tragedy, “The Lazy Lover.” Colleen Freeze is happily married to her sailor who is now an admiral. Their summer home is in Miami where she sees her old friend, Ola Mae Winecoff, quite often. Ola Mae is now a lieutensftit in the WAVES. Preston Weant and James Aldridge jointly own the “Airline Freight, Inc.” in Salisbury. Voigt Park is one of their ace pilots. Lois Dabbs is married to an army captain on Borneo. She spends her spare time teaching the young cannibals more nutritious meals than fat human beings. Clyde Williams has given up his idea of being a music teacher and is now a Tin Pan Alley swing veteran. A silver plane glides gracefully to a halt and from the cockpit steps Johnnie Miller—more dashing than ever. The day is rapidly drawing to a close but I can see a faint glimpse of two little white bunga¬ lows with green shutters. Talking over the little white fence that separates them are Thelia Riden- hour and Juanita Goodnight, the proud mistresses of the bungalows. They do their marketing at the H. H. Super Market owned and operated by J. P. Horton and Jack Hendren. The light is almost gone and I must hurry to see the rest. Yes, there is Ruth Yost being interviewed by a famous journalist. Miss Yost’s latest book won the Pulitzer Prize. But who was the journalist? That I cannot see because it is now dark and I must prepare for the long journey down the mountain. It has been fun. CLARIS McGALLIARD, Prophetess.
