has made the grade as a model. She is currently modeling shoes in a well known shoe store. ALVALAZ HALE is accompanist for the “Golden Throat Singers,” a trio consisting of PATRICIA GILLS, DORIS SHEL- TON and CORRINE ANDERSON. WILLIE GREEN, along with his helper, HARRY HILL, has just been paid for his new book, “Benefits of Sleep.” It starts: “Having had some experience in the art, I feel well qualified,” etc. As a lady inventor, BARBARA KING has made good, having invented an electric toothbrush. Just hold it and turn it on—that’s all there is to it. It’s guaranteed not to damage your teeth (for a while, anyway). ROBERT TUCKER, the man who designs butions, has received an award for his outstanding work in designing a new baseball. The players praise the product and say the new ball is easier to keep up with since it is square and doesn’t roll as far or as fast as the old style. ROBERT FULLER and RALPH EARLY are top ranking gridiron men. Fuller won an award for kicking. ROBERT PENICK has been in the dentistry field and has sold his car. (It fell apart when he stopped for a corner.) JAMES NORFLEET is a Spanish teacher at Madison High School; JUNE PARRISH is the school’s secretary. EDWARD JACKSON has been in the army fourteen years and is rated with other M.P.S.’s (Mighty Poor Soldier.) LANGSTON WALKER is starting to tour Lynchburg in an effort to gain publicity. His accompanist?—-JANICE ROBINSON, who plays every song in the same key and without music. (Who needs music to play for Langston?) MELVIN JONES and AUDREY LEE have started a grocery store; they also have a restaurant on one corner and Audrey does the cooking. WILBUR FRANKLIN is one of the greatest horse doc- tors of his time. (At the rate he kills them, he’]l soon be out of work.) LAWRENCE SPENCER is an artist in England and he uses crayons to color his art work (some artist) TOMMY TAPLEY, who earns his bread as a brick layer, plans to construct a home for himself: he wants a brick roof. (I wonder.) BARBARA WHITE is an interpretative dancer on contract at the “Stalk Club.” SAMUEL GLOVER is doing all right as a meat packer (better known as a cattle mortician). His hired assistants are: SHIRLEY COLEMAN, YVONNE ANDREWS and CAROLYN TAY- LOR. Well, as the haze covers the crystal ball, the last thing to be seen is a hand reaching down into a basketball] goal to push in another two points. No wonder, it’s (yours truly) “Stan the Man” Smith. Hasta la vista! Standly Smith, Class Prophet

(If I were judge, she would win every time.) She is also teaching home economics at Hapless High School in “Jump Off, Georgia.” CORRINE ANDERSON, a prominent hair stylist, has created some purple hair tonic; it says on the label, “The purple stuff will make it grow.” Let’s take time out while I wipe off the crystal] as it is beginning to get a little cloudy. (This futuristic sightseeing is hard on the eyes). Now! GERALDINE BROWN, CLAUDINE BURTON, JOYCE McCAIN, and FRANCES ABRAMS are all on the accounting staff of that fabulously rich CLIFTON CLARK who is in the engraving business. People just seem to go for his way of printing. (If you have seen his handwriting, you can see why). In the Women’s Branch of the Air Forces are FRANCES SCRUGGS, DELOIS MOSELY, BARBARA ANDERSON and SHIRLEY COLEMAN. They are stationed at the JEAN BROWN Air Force Base. EMMIE GREEN, as a hair stylist, has a hair-do to resemble a fruit basket (always thinking of food) JOAN BROWN is still trying to make good as a singer, only now she is singing with an all girl orchestra (and they still can’t drown her out). Some of the members are JOLLY MINOR, CAROLYN LEWIS, and ORA SHAW. LELIA SMITH is now designing hats for JAMES MILLER’S HAT SHOP. ELIZABETH JEFFRIES is running. a tailoring shop in France; also in France is SELENA GREEN, who, with the aid of WILLIAM (JAZZ) YORK, is operating a cafe. Their specialty is “jam sandwiches” (the recipe?—-jam two pieces of bread together). Also worth some nota- tion is a new development in the sports field: a pro basketball team, whose first string members are: SILAS SNEED, WAYLAND MITCHELL, GAR- LAND COLEMAN, JAMES WOOD and SAMUEL THOMAS. The team is known as the “Fumble Fingered Five.” Incidentally, their coach is OTHA T” NOWLIN. A most unusual sight I see now is GEORGE COB- BIN’S moving firm. I say unusual because his is the only firm known that does not use trucks to move the furniture. Says George, “As long as I can carry it, I don’t need a truck.” (Believe me, he can carry it, too!) Back to France: JANET LEE and HELEN COX are up and “going” models (and believe me, they have a long way to go, too!) DELORES JOHNSON is the originator of a “3-D” mirror (a bonanza for the fat folks) CLAUDITH IRVINE is a famed author and has written the book, ‘The Life of an Old Maid.” BARBARA HAWKINS, a clothes designer, has a dress with gloves made on the sleeves. (Buy one and be well dressed.) SHIRLEY CLAXTON is the only girl editor in the U.S.A. with six phones and a separate secretary to answer each one. BLANCHE SMITH is the secretary to the president of U. S. Steel YVONNE ROBIN- SON is a physical ed. teacher at Howard University. ELIZABETH STONE
