Prophecy This prophecy is written to foretell what our seniors will be. Tho’ it may seem unnatural and sound kind of crazy, You will find it ' s just a rough idea of what only I can see. Follow me up a ladder of years, out into an imaginary world, And here you will find 63 fine boys and girls. In lights are Lynnie Ruth Corriher and Virginia Deal ' s names— As we all know. Now starring in their 20th Comedian show. 1963 will be the Date— When Carl Patterson and Carl Bradshaw finish at State. Two great Missionaries—Melba Willis and James Ray Park are on their way to Africa— “The Land of the Dark.” Because of his unusual ways and lovable character— Allen Harris was chosen the world ' s finest actor. Joyce Barringer—working for the circus as an elephant trainer— Decides she wants to become a painter. Charles White and Gilbert Dyson laughed as the wheels roared, They are now stock car drivers in the new 1960 Fords. Betty Jane Beaver a teacher of Ballet— Is having her students give a recital in May. Jimmy Menius, a student at U. N. C. With an average below B Finds it hard to get in the school of pharmacy. Maxine McDonald after 10 years— Is still undecided about her goal, But keeps right on having plenty of fun, And never expects to grow old. No one could compete with him— Because of his great abilities, Johnny Atwell is now living in the house of famous professors— With all the modern facilities. Sulena Houck has finally raised enough money to buy her ranch, And has trained her horses to sing and dance. Working for the F. B. I. is Thermon Hooks, Who has helped catch some of the world’s meanest crooks. Leona Basinger is now living a happy life— Especially since she has become Robert’s wife. In Canada I see the owner of all the winter lodges— None other than Mr. John Hodges. Jane Eller is now the Editor of the New York Times and author of the book, “Deadly Crimes.” Charles Simpson says that only one thing will fulfill his life, And that is to find the right girl to become his wife. Hospitals seem to have lost their curses, Since Grace McKnight and Velma Crisp are nurses. Jay Barnhardt, an all around good electrician, Does his work well and very efficient. Day and night Phyllis Rodgers works, For husband, Clarence, and several small jerKs. Robert Bost says he likes his job just fine, Since he has become a pilot for the Eastern Airline. A true friend to the end is Mozelle Bost. And a lovable character that can never be lost. Most magicians only pull rabbits out of a hat, John Ha rrison does greater things than that. Regardless of the change of the years and land— I see Peggy Safrit is singing with Tommy Dorsey ' s band. Billy Martin still bashful and shy— Now has a school on, “How to Fly.”
