CLASS PROPHECY As I walk into the office of the Four Bells Movie Corporation, 1 see Hugh Wright, owner and sole stockholder, worrying about how he can produce the top picture of 1965 and outrank his rival Earl Hodges. I tell him, “It’s easy, just make a picture of the fabulous class of 1950.” At this, his secretary, Annette Jones, who stands by, efficiently begins to put in a call to Principal Monroe Seamster at Cobb Memorial. Principal Seamster is contacted and arrangements are made for filming the movie on the grounds. Richard Walker, keeper of the keys and head janitor (best paid position in the school) is promptly commissioned to set the building in shape. Camilla Walker, long distance operator of the Bell Telephone Company and Nancy Payne of the Sandtrap Airlines are enlisted in contacting the remainder of the class of “50”. Margaret Hogan and Mary Alice Rice are easily located in their beauty salon in Danville, Virginia. Otis Daniel, Jr. is found to own a large restaurant in a nearby city. Louis Hutson is still working in the cotton mills in Danville. Finally the day arrives for us to return to our high school. Lpon entering the front door we see Lelia Alice Blackwell and ElizaDeth Law, both teachers at the school. Lorene Huskey, who is now married, is seen talking to Eugene Layne, who owns a large farm nearby. Dorothy Jane Layne, a teacher at Yale University is seen talking to beatrice Gregory, the dietition in the school cafeteria. Dewey Poteat is found in the school library reading the latest victories of the New York Yankee Baseball team, on which he is star pitcher. The picture is finally ready for showing and Lee Edsel Mc¬ Kinney offered us the use of his theater for the premier. It is a huge success and who could expect otherwise, just look at its actors and subject. Robert Miles Brackin
