CLASS PROPHECY Looking far into the future, we now get a glimpse of the members of the Class of '44, each one engaged in his life's work: Going first to the Nation's capital at Washington, we find Vice-President William Craven presiding over the Senate. After adjournment, we step over and talk with Bill, who tells us he has strong hopes of becoming President some day -if he can outlive FDR! Taking a look around the Senate building, we see other faces which are familiar. First We see the Junior Senator from Florida, Nixon QFilibusterJ Daniel, accompanied by the Senior Senator from Florida, Virginia Stanton, the state's first lady senator, who learned the art of talking in Miss Terry's classes back at W. C. H. S. Over on the edge of the floor, we see the editor of the Washington Post, James E. Sellers, who has come over to check up on his Senate correspondents. Moving on, we run into several senatorial stenographers and attaches. Among them are Dell Edge and Lorene Jenkins. Out in the street again, we take a Pleas taxi, one of many now owned and operated by Gloria Pleas. We pass Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Richards, and the twins, Herbert and Hubert, Jr. Mrs. Richards will be remembered as Katrina Williams. At our hotel, we run into the Ambassador to Mozambique, Wesley Seay, who tells us of several people we knew at W. C. H. S. who are now in Mozam- bique carrying on professions. One of them was Leonard Cobb, of the engineer- ing firm of Coggin, Deermont and Cobb, who have recently completed a bridge across the Atlantic. Cobb is assisted in his duties in that far-off land by his sec- retarial staff, consisting of Willowdean McKeithen, Iris Justice and Mitchelle Rabon. Another resident of the hotel is Mrs. W. W. Ishee, formerly Miss M.ozelle Williams, who is taking a vacation in Washington. She has been helping Mr. Ishee manage the Wainwright shipyard, down in Panama City, Florida. After a big dinner at the hotel, we take in the theatres, and concert halls. Mrs. Wallace Hughson fnee Helen Schneiderj the famed concert pianist, is play- ing at the Orpheum, and that virtuoso of the ivories, Mr. James B. Danford, is playing at the Lyceum. We understand that he is conducting a series of guest performances throughout the country, being accompanied in his travels by his wife, the former Florine Parmer. At the Lyceum, we also met Earl Carlile back- stage. Earl has suffered a change of attitude and is now a most ardent musical critic for the New York Sun. In the crowd in front of the theatre following the performance, we see Jack Bush, director of the Smithsonian Institution. Among others we see in the throng are: Isabelle Kent, who is captain of the world's greatest girl's basketball teamg Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hiley QMrs. Hiley was the former Mary Clyde Prattj 5 and Charlotte Johnson, who is an attache at the First National Bank and Trust Com- pany here in Washington. Leaving the crowd is Ruby Grace Daniel, at present a Powers model, and Ruth Retherford and Hazel Miller, both nurses on vacation from Johns Hopkins. W'e hardly got a glimpse of Inez Tharp and Jenelle Malloy, employed by the Census Bureau, since they both had heavy dates, and left the theatre quickly, but we did get to talk some little time to Mildred Pippin and Carlotta Malloy, co-proprietors of the Service Men's Club, who were accompanied by Mildred Gilbert, who is now married and settled down. Little did we think that the class of '44 would all be found doing these many and varied things, but seeing is believing!
