Hurriedlyl wrotea note to my room-mate and classmate of '57, Louise Snow, now a famous artist, and head- ed for the airport. ' Having a few more minutes to waif,l busied myself by reading the newspaper. There on the front page was a picture of another classmate, Gaynell Pettit, who had iust won another beauty ti t I e, this time it was Miss America . I remembered that she started by winning second place in the Harvest Festival in our home town. Flipping through the paper I saw where Jimmy White, owner ofa big night club in New York, has for his guest tonight-Miss Fran Crosby--but the class of '57 knew her as Fanny Brawley, she is now under contract with 20th Century Fox. On the sports pa ge I read where Cleve Hollar scored the most points for the Boston Celtics last night. I also read where Johnny Willard has just won his first race at Daytona Beach, Fla. ---he was driving a Ford, of course. , A I heard my plane getting ready to take off sol hurried to my seat. Comfortably seated I began to make plans for my vacation at home. Ohl It feels like someone is pulling my hair--Why it is Flora Shore! What's she doing in New York? Everyone knows she belongs in Nashville, Tennessee acting the part of Minnie PearI. She said that Margaret Holden was to pick her up in Winston-Salem. Margaret is chauffeur for the new Minnie Pearl. She drives a new red and white Chevrolet. The plane landed andl said good-by to Flora. June Bcity, now manager of Wi Ison's Florist,met me at the air- port in Winston-Salem with a huge corsage and drove me home. As we passed the Stab I er Pontiac pIace,June told me that Hobert Norman is now manager. She also told me about others. Kenneth Baity is still single, find- ing them, fooling them, then leaving them alone. I wasn't surprised to hear that Joyce Lunsford is now a Med- ical Secretary at City Hospital. She also told me that Frank and Ray Linville are barbers in Winston-Salem. Truman Steelmanis in the Air Force. Bruce Smith, as I expected, is happily married and living in Lone Hickory. Gale Steelman and Jimmy Caudle, big buddies in school, are still single and loafing around Lone Hickory. She also toId'me that Betty Reynolds is very happi ly married. Peggy McEwen is traveling in the near east with her husband who is in the Air Force. June andl thought it would be fun to visit Dear Ole Courtney , so we did. Going down the hall who should we run into but Francis Harris now teaching Ag. at Courtney. He said he was having trouble keeping the boys at school, but he could always find tham at the pool room operated by another classmate. Francis to I d us tha-t Delbert Nance is now in the field of engineering and that Bobby Lash is a iack of all trades, Butcher, Baker, and Candlestick maker. My! I almost forgot, while l'm home I must call imy cousin,Kath I een Allen, now private secretary for Dr. Reavis, and see what she has been doing. 'It has been so much fun finding out about my classmates of l957. NANCY ALLEN A Class Prophet
