Nineteen Forty-Six enior Class Prophet: A little further down the street a large sign lured me into Frank's Meat Market. I knew immediately that the establishment must be owned by l rank Conrad. A large sign on the counter guaranteed all customers that his meat was not over a month old and his chickens had been dressed within the last two weeks. I could not spend too much time in the market, so I bought a roast that he had only had for two weeks. Ut was the freshest meat he hadj I went across the street and stopped in front of the Palace Theater. Upon glancing over the billboard I was delighted to see that Agnes Wade, a new star on stage and screen, was starring in Let Go of That Blonde. A poster in the theater announced a coming stage attraction. SI5IlfI SURBIWIR AND MANOR BURLESQUE' For l'lf'nly Qf Gafr, Gag: and Fun .I ! I DoN'T NIISS 'I'I-IIS SHOW OF ALL SHOWS COME ONE April 12, 19- COME ALL As I was reading this advertisement I was tempted to try and see the show, but a spell of semiconsciousness overtook nie and the next thing I knew, I was in an entirely different enviromnent. I was standing in front of a large brick home and a small neat sign announced: ROOM AND BOARD Louise Basxmiu Lucas g I read it and started to walk away, when something in my mind clicked and I realized what I had read-Louin' Barham Luca:-I was in Blacksburg and apparently in front of Louise's home. A lady on the lawn next door couldn't understand why I was staring so and came over to ask if she could be of any help. From her, I learned that Louise ran a boarding house for teachers only. Of her forty boarders, Louise was fondest of Robert Miles, Agriculture teacher at V. P. I., and Mildred Hylton, who was teaching the first grade at Blacksburg Primary School. I tried in vain to locate Robert and Mildred. After a disheartening search, I decided to return to Christiansburg on the bus. When I asked for a ticket at the corner drug store, I was informed that the Irwin-Stanger jeep lines had taken over that route. I was delighted at this news and immediately bought a ticket for a jeep ride. When the jeep stopped for me, Leo Stanger was driving it himself. On the way back to Christiansburg, we talked over old times. He informed me that Anncll Bell had graduated from YVilliam and Mary College at the head of her class. Be- cause of her high scholastic standing shc secured a job as assistant house cleaner at the college. He also told me that Margaret Brundage was now traveling in Alaska. He believed that she was searching for gold. As we rode along, I noticed a hitch-hiker on the side of the road. Better pick him upf' I suggested, the poor fellow looks tiredf' Leo slowed down and came to a stop. A familiar voice greeted us, Hi there, imagine seeing you heref' and Tommy Stump climbed into the jeep. He told us that he had hitch-hiked all the way from Texas. What were you doing in Texas? I asked. My curiosity had gotten the better of me. He responded with a hearty laugh, then told me that he had set up an office for advice to professional hoboes. His main client was Robert Grubb. A small cottage drew my attention and Leo informed me that Sally Foster Linkous lived there. I asked him to stop for a minute and I got out and asked one of the six children who were playing in the yard, Where his mother Was. After hitting me on the head with a rock, one of the little boys told me that Sally had taken some eggs to the store. Gently rubbing the knot on my head, I got back into the jeep and we continued our trip. Tommy told me that Hazel Hancock and Maxine Hammond were his advertising managers. Their experience in ad- vertising for the '46 annual had helped them secure the job. As we passed a small home on the outskirts of Christiansburg, Leo told me that was where Thelmateen Worrell lived. She was now a Famous dress designer for Iris Spradling's very exclusive dress shop. Her latest creation was really something. At lirst the people had not liked the long skirts and high necks, but when she hired Margaret Morris for her model, the dresses sold like hot cakes. Leo stopped in the edge of town and I got out. After thanking him for the wonderful ride, he and Tommy drove away. l stood quietly in the gathering dusk, thinking of the experiences which I had during the day, things began to grow hazy and at peculiar feeling came over me. l realized that the effect of the atomic bomb must be wearing off. . . YVhen I finally cleared my mind, I found that I was on my way to school . . . another day at C. H. S., but I had had a glimpse into the future of each of my senior classmates. I 17 J
