X V. m PROPHECY After being in Charlotte for quite a while, Mildred Barrow and 1 had saved a large sum of money and decided to take a trip. We took a plane to New York piloted by Obie Woodall. After ar- riving there we thought we would do some shopping. We saw a very attractive fa ion shop. We went in and were surprised to see Cleatis Gauldin as owner and Helen Hall and Gertrude Coleman as her models. We went to the Brooklyn Navy Yard and saw Douglas Gerringer, an Ensign. Taking a train from there, we stopped over in Washington. Sur prised to hear Marie Grant was the head nurse in large hospital there; Leroy Smart, her husband, a doctor; Mary Willard, Marie’s assistant nurse. Taking a bus from there, driven by George Law, we went to Reno, finding Wayne Samuels there getting her third divorce, this time from Eugene Setliff. We took a plane from there to Tennessee to visit Lillian Nolan, a Bible Teacher in Bob Jones College. From there to Miami, Florida, where we saw J. B. Harris, an artist, painting pictures of his models, Maggie Reynolds and Peggie Sig mon. They told us Raymond Smith was in the Merchant Marinos and was across. We also saw Herbert Clarke, a bum, to keep from paying income taxes. At Daytona Beach was Katherine Seal, a WAC. Then to dear old Draper we came — home. We visited Draper Hi, finding Elizabeth Clifton ‘teaching, Eugene Setliff, director of athletics. We had our hair fixed at Draper Beauty Salon, owned by Lucy Walker, and Lucille Griffith, her helper. They told us Ruby Spain. Lorene Funderbuck, and Jacqueline Blackwell were married and with their husbands who remained i n service. Ralph Hodges is married to Erie Hanks and a proud papa of four children, two girls and two boys. We found Marvin Pruitt as Superintendent of Marshall Field, and Orene Hopkins, his stenographer. Melvin Pruitt is manager of Belk Cline. Billie Hairfield is owner of Hairfield’s Dime Store. Eu- gene Meade was playing over W.B.B.B. with Jim Hall. After a very enjoyable vacation, Mildred and I returned to Char- lotte to continue our work as secretaries. Virginia Hopkins, Prophet
