Class Prophecy DR. LEE ALEXANDER RHOADES REQUESTS THE PLEASURE OF YOUR PRESENCE AT DINNER FRIDAY, JUNE 11, 1946 I N HONOR OF MISS GEORGIE STRINGFELLOW 8:00 P. M. June the eleventh: Our press passes enable us to sit at the table with the celebrities. A general air of gayety and suppressed excitement prevails. Between us is Admiral Wade Hampton Hitt of the United States Navy who startled the world with his i-evolutionary ideas of naval tactics. Those two well known writers, J. Sidney Ritter and Hugh Willis, are here. The former has ex- pounded a new theory in his latest book, “How To Commit Suicide Intelligently”, and the latter has compiled a dictionary which lays Webster in the shade. The foremost universities of the nation, Polumbia, Hale, Crinceton, and Yarvard, are well represented to-night by their presidents. Miss Myra Smith, Miss Mary Walker Mitchell, liss Eulaleur Mason, and Miss Doris Butler. Ah! And that amazing screen actress, Rewa Hiltonia, in reality Hilton Weaver, and her publicity agent, Douglas White. There have been rumors of a future understanding between the two. Dr. Rhoades certainly looks splendid to- night. He just arrived from Europe where the foremost dentists were in consultation. Miss Stringfellow by her latest flight has advanced another step in the world oi aeronautics. After we look at the sketches of the talented Miss Margaret Carpenter we go from here to the penthouse apartment of that famous aviator and polo player, Johnny Martin. 11:00 P. M. As we enter the luxur ' ously furn’shed apartment we hear soft strains of the “All Girl Orchestra” led by Miss Vernelle Brown. Some of the musicians are Misses Margaret G ' lbert, Edith Jasper, Rosebud Jenkins, and Cecile Cubbage, former Culpeper H’gh graduates. We recognize as one of the featured tangoers, M ' ss Frances Kilby. When we return to the home of Dr. Rhoad- es, we turn on the television radio in time to hear the news announcements. Miss Lucy . 11- port has been selected ‘Aliss America” in the nation wide beauty contest to compete with beauties of other countries. Professor Fielding Gaar has just made known his discoveries with radium. Tandy Guinn, another old friend of curs, has recently signed another contract with the Detroit Tigers. By the way, his engagement to Miss Alice Fitzhugh was announced last week. As the announcer concludes his report we hear many remarks on how miuch Misses Kath- ryn Jenkins and Carolyn Utz are missed. Both cf them are teaching in the new Grimsley High School in San Francisco, the largest high school in the world. As you already know, this school was named after our President, Harris Grims- ley. But his success has not made “Hayseed” forget his old classmates and friends. In fact, he’s going to send us a special message to-night over the radio. Here he is now! The President of the United Sta tes, Harris Grimsley, is telling us how much he would like to be with us, but be- cause of an important consultation with his Secretary of Interior, Virginia Lewis, he is un- able to attend. Miss Lewis is busy to-night studying the proposed plan. President Grimsley also congratulates John Thrift on the comple- tion of the world’s tallest skyscraper in Chicago, built of glass, and Helen Jeffries on winning the divorce case for Mildred Mastin, famous Follies girl, from Aubrey Wilson, financier. A few late comers have arrived. Misses Helen Utz, Florrie Mae Boldridge, and Geneva Good. They were attending a board of directors meeting of their large department store which they own and operate. 2:00 P. M. We must rush to our printing office in or- der to have an account of the lovely evening spent at Dr. Rhoades’ and Mr. Martins’ in the early edition of the morning paper. As we turn back for a last glance we are assured by the reluctant manner in which the guests leave that everyone has had a grand time. We only hope that our friends and classmates will be able to meet every year in a similar manner. JEANNE DAVENPORT and WINIFRED HUDSON 20 IIIMMIMMIIIIini
