CLASS PROPHECY Main Street of Kentuck. I met Erma Brown and Remona Wiles who were going shopping in Betty’s Fashion Center, owned by Betty Compton. I found that Delfry Tucker was buyer for the store. As I started across the street a taxie swept by and I learned that Brantley Batter- mann and Thomas Walters were Co-owners of the Kentuck Taxie Service. Jimmy Mc- Nichols and Dempsy East were running a Bicycle Repair Shop. While there, I learned that Francis Haymes was entering her “hot rod” in the Motorcycle race at the new race track at Ringgold. On the corner I saw a large store with Cassada Construction Company on its front and decided tosee if itcould be Vernell. Sure enough it was. He hadas his head truckdriver Eldridge Compton. He told me that it was his company that had built the new Kentuck Col- lege in which Harvey Clayton was president and Ethel Vaden was teaching piano. Bobby Wiles and Richard Evans, “The Handsome Romeos” who were getting no where with their romances, have opened up a “Date Bureau.” Elsie Slayton had joined the Waves to keep up with Troy. Bobby Ray Bennett is Pastor of the Kentuck Church now. As it was nearing lunch I decided to stop in the large new resturant at corner of Main and Halifax Streets. Iwas waiting for my order and noticed Claire Adams and Jane Collie. I found that they were running the restaurant and at night they had the famed Ray Gosney and his Mountain Hill Playboys to play for the pleased customers. After lunch I decided to go up Halifax Street. 21 I came to a nice store that was called Jeffries’ and Clark’s Sweet Shoppe. I stopped intosee whoit could beand it was none other than Barbara and Delores. They told me that Nancy Moss and Peggy Smith were happily married and that Donald C. Wilkersonhad openeda Lumber Yard, but still played base- ball. Say, Harold Alderson has a special mixture of fertilizer that guarantees ten ears to a stalk of corn. Joyce Moshenek was having a terrible time trying to gether budget to balance even though she had an excellent course in Econo- mics. Since it was getting late I decided to get the old jalopy and start back on my trip. It needed refueling so I stopped in the first Service Station which happened to belong to Rodger Tate. I found that Jimmy Kent was owner of the New Drive-In Theater and had Pete Russel selling tickets and pop corn. As Ineared Glenwood Isaw Virginia Ruth Bigger ina 49 Ford with Gene and the kids In Glenwood saw Jean Norton out stroll- ing with her twins. Jean Glosson is the Libra- rian in the New Gienwood Library. They told me that Thelma Ferguson was awaiting her assignmentas Head of the Language Depart- ment at the College of Kentuck. Since I had seen all the old classmates I decided to leave the Community. It was then that I found thatI had forgotton to sell any of my goods. Sallie Milam Jean Glosson
