CLASS PROPHECY While dining one day in a fashionable restaurant in Philadelphia, whom should I meet but the president Of the flourishing International Insurance Company, Jimmy Boyd. Being the editor of the Donelsori Herald, the largest newspaper in America, I, Bill O'Donnell, meet many celebrities. btlt this was a surprise reunion with my former classmate. .Ks we sat at the table musing over the past, our thoughts and conversation gradually turned back twenty years to our school days and the 19-i7 Senior Class at Donelson High School. We could remember when Don- elson was only a wide place in the roadg bitt now, lille to the tireless efforts and suggestions of our former class- iuate. Iidward Lyons, now President of the United States, it has become the third largest city in the world. lidwards occupation led us to search for the where- abouts of the rest of the class. First, we found that our class is again represented in Washington by Bill Hardison, member of the president's cabinet as Secretary of Agri- culture. Mildred Barbee is now the president of Vassar College, where the position of chemistry professor is Elled by the brilliant chemistry student, Gloria Kay. XVayne McCullough has risen to the rank of admiral in the United States Navy. Mrs. McCullough, the former Miss Rebecca lVhite, is residing at the XValdorf Astoria, awaiting his return from a Caribbean cruise. .Xlso leading a military life is Edgar Floyd. now a captain of the United States Cavalry. Captain Floyd was formerly an active member of the Tennessee State Guard. Fred Royce Lovelace is now the president of that thriving railroad, the Tennessee Central. He worked his way up from a yard clerk to the top. Carlene I-Ienley is the producer of the sensational Broadway hit, IVhy XVomcn Marry. We discovered that Willie jane Williams is the leading explorer for the United States in Africa. She is credited with discovering many new natural resources in that continent. The ether waves have claimed four of our classmates. Performing for the world-renowned t'Grand Ole Opry are Mamie 'tFlamy johnson and Inez Waldron. Jimmy Newman now has a Thursday night program over Station KKK, Incidentally, Richard Barrett is now the president of this prospering station. In the field of medicine Bobby Cullum is the newly- elected head of the National Dental Association. His secretary is none other than the competent Helen Chilr dress. llarhara Maynard holds a large interest in the Bell Telephone Company. She supervises the offices of long distance calls. Ernestine Niederhauser, professional model, has just returned from Paris, where she has been modeling the latest of womens apparel. This apparel is designed by the talented Count Pooghumalis, Teachout Pirtle. Currently showing in the death-defying acrobatic stunts of the llarnnm-Bailey Shows is Miss Dorothy jacols. for- mer international high-diving champion. Bobby Cross, Wall Street hnancier, is enjoying a pre- spring vacation in Florida with his lovely wife, the former Leonzt Liddle. Due to a recent change in the presidents cabinet, Billy Holman now 'occupies the position of Postmaster General of the United States. The Brooklyn Dodgers are expected to win the Xvorld Series because of the recent signing of Thomas Slugger Dye to the club. His batting average for the past season was .903. Another classmate who is prominent in world sports is Miss Dorothy Swann, ten times All-American and high scorer of the nation for seven consecutive years. She is now enjoying retirement at her summer home in southern California. Donald Malone now owns a modern scientific experia mental ranch which covers over 120,000 acres. He is conducting a series of studies of cures for animal dis- eases. Jolene Warren is assisting her husband in the managing of an orange grove in Florida. It is one of the most prosperous groves in the entire state. Her time is spent chiefly in caring for her family, despite the oranges. Robert Creager finally realized that the South won the Wlar Between the States. He is the chief engineer in the construction of a bridge which will span the Ohio River. The bridge is to be named after the great General Robert E. Lee. On leaving the restaurant in which we had recalled dear memories, we met at the door Aylene Bullington, the proprietor of the place. We told her it was most magnificent. Observing the qualities of the Class of '47, it is quite evident that these occupations would not he out of pro- portion, because we can all testify as to the brilliance, character, and stability of each one. jmsn' Boro, I BILL O'DoNN13t,L.
