CLASS PROPHECY Popcorn? Peanuts? Eat'em up Tigersl Cries were coming from everywhere and ex- citement was tingling in the veins of all. There stood Ethel Walker, a traveling saleswoman, who was patriotically selling pennants for Dothan High. The grandstand was packed with students and alumni from Dothan and Lanier. The place was so crowded that Tipp Lasse- ter, R. L, Wilkinson, and Paul Ray Marsh were watching the gime from airplanes. As I was watching the planes, jane Faulkner tapped me on the shoulder and said, Hello, Jeanette. She was still our best-dressed in Paris' latest model. Have you read tonight's paper? I asked. Eugene Lane won a landslide victory as democratic President. This election will make Jean Gaines our First Lady, and A. Ward will swear the President in office. Other classmates will be in Washington also. George Weeks as Secretary of War will still have a great Deal', to talk about and Ruth Forrester as Secretary of Labor will still be kept busy. Cassie Mae Bailey is head of a civil service department. Buddy Brock and David Abraham are senators. Whew, jane, our class is certainly going Washington! Moving on among the crowd, I saw Carolyn Deal who has been giving Kipling a lot of competition as her Weeks rolled by. Using my field glasses, I spied Eleanor Harris, who has just landed her third million- aire. Speaking of honeymooners, I noticed that Louise Cherry had just become the Wally Simpson of our class by acquiring a King. Of course Grady Loftin and Dan McCarty had their dating calendars filled since there were two new girls in town. Still alert to find out everything that was going on, I overheard Hugh Reeder telling John C. Knight about his invention in television. He said that he had seen Norton Mullins, now the star of Krafts' Music Hall, jack Robinson and Billy Shealy of Benny Goodman's orchestra, Mary Virginia Knight, who played the organ reveries, Louise Newton, Sara Shafer, and Anita Walker, who sang trios for their supper , and Edna Louise James, a successful torch singer. As the fans cheered for Dothan's first touchdown, in walked the wealthy Earle Car- michael who had acquired millions in the window washing profession, as he saves all his employers the price of a ladder. He was surrounded by two body guards: Ray Merritt and Lanier Ozbolt. Another notable entered, joseph Hornsby, an ambassador to Africa. Joseph, who is still opposed to work, has numerous native servants at his command. Madge Col- lins and Evelyn Hall are the ambassador's secretaries. Why does everybody seem to be signing autographs? It was just some movie fazi talking to Gwen Stephenson and Ted Welch, who are now filling the shoes of Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire, to Cora Walker, a blond Patsy Kelly, to Felix Baggett, second Charlie Chaplin, to Sara Wood, another Clara Bow, and to the Garner Sisters, a famous dra- matic team. Rufus Davis topped the list as comedy producer for the company. 'I ,- 5' F. . L 3 THIRTY-EIGHT Page Twenty-fve ,-

Intermission! I wandered over to see what the news commentator, Joseph Hayes, could tell me of my classmates. He knew plenty! Mary Ila Poyner Williams was now editor of the Alabama Times. Front page news announced Fred Green's candidacy for the superin- tendent of education with Billy Reeves as campaign manager. There was also an account of the case of Earl Garrison charged with voting for himself in the last election for coroner. Arthur Zbinden and Carl Kelly were his lawyers. In the sports news by DeLeon Sheppard were found the names of Marjorie Shealy, Martha Peterman, and Mary Lydia Reese, con- testants for tennis championship. Kate Davis was rider of the winning horse in the Ken- tucky Derby. There was an announcement of Marie Garrison's new social security work and Merle Tadlock's recent appointment as state director of Methodist young people's work. Evelyn Branam's society page carried a picture of the beautiful Caroline Acree, recent hostess to a gala masquerade party for which Kathryn Odom and Elizabeth Gause had designed the costumes. Jerry Morgan as Juliet was considered the most outstanding guest. Martie Doak and Lou Farmer from New York were mentioned as guests. When intermission was over, I noticed a lady carrying a brief case on which was writ- ten Madam I Tellum, world famous lecturerf, Why, Beatrice Thomas, I didn't even recognize you. No, she said, and there have been many people here that I didn't recognizef' Did you know that Dorothy McArthur and Ruth Williams have dyed their hair black? Oh, look! one of Dothan's players has been knocked out. Who do you think has been sum- moned as a doctor? Fannysu Graves. In her large hospital Maurice Drew, Jewel Taylor, Mary Sue Warrick, and Louise McKinnon are head nurses. Nellie Grace Hardy is her skillful masseuse. By the way, have you read Eloise Burdeshaw's newest novel? Louise Rollins and Jea- nette Saliba make good proof readers for all these new books. Well, I must see my campaign manager, William Dupree. Next week we're stopping at the Four Thousand Room Hotel in Seally Springs, Alabama, since you're accounting for your classmates, Jack Parsons was contractor for this hotel and Wayne Higgins its electrical engineer. I'll see you later, Jeanette. The excitement of the game kept the crowd restless in the stadium. During this time, I noticed many other classmates who had changed occupations in the last few years. Grace Burdeshaw, Ruby Ellis, and Jewell Lowe were making model housewives, while Pearl Lewis and Ruby Strickland had set up a cooking school for the lovelorn who had never learned to cook Sfudents taking lessons were Bertha White Josephine Saliba Ruby Lee Brown, e Perry Bill Farmer had become commander of a big ship on which Camille Thorn- ton and Marguerite Newton were hostesses uinton Bruner was head of the scientific investigation department The ship s crew included persons of adventurous instincts namely, Douglas Fuller and Sam Kinsaul Waymon Lynn and Dorothy Efurd had just set up a eiv modern ice cream plant Albert Sahba owned a big dry goods store Eunice Adkins 1 X A , it ' . . .i. is 4 T H A L E G R G O Y E Page Twenty-.fix
