CLASS PROPHECY In this machine, industrial, and atomic age, time seems to have wings, and thus our four years have flitted by. Everyone seems to enjoy looking into the future, 1961 ! My, how time and people have changed! I learned that Anita Archie and Mae Carol Davis are working in one of the largest Hospitals in North Carolina, Duke, as Laboratory Tech¬ nicians; Anita's sister Juanita Archie, is a typist for Doctor Theodore Draine in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Madie Barbour is working at Fisk Hospital in California as a nurse. As I came back from my trip to California, I dropped in on Paul Black who is a mechanic for Ford Motor Company in Denver, Colorado. He informed me that Betty Brown, Ruby Lanear, and Rosa Gray are taking nursing at the St. Paul's Hospital in New Haven, Connecticut under the instructor of Surgery, Barbara Rose- boro. James Davis and his pals, Alonzo Williams, and James Boyd, finally got a job at Duke Power Company in Washington, D.C. as Electri¬ cal Engineers. Just think, in Newark, New Jersey, Betty McCall, Eliza¬ beth Heiligh, Mammie Byers, and Helen Garrison are operating Beauty Salons over on 125th Street. Virginia Corpening and Laura Pharr are teaching at Marvin High in Lexington, Massachusetts. Would you believe it, Walter Morrow and Ernest Tillman are flying jets for the U.S. Air Force. I dropped to Dunbar and there I found, Annie Smith, Secretary for the school. Daisy Barbour and Annie Miller are working at Southern Bell Telephone Company as typists. Martha Stoner is a Private Secre¬ tary for North Carolina State College, and Gladys Shands is the school nurse. Believe it or not, in Wilmington, North Carolina, Betty McKee is a nurse at the Naval Hospital. Who would have thought it, Louise Wilson is working for Kelsey's Funeral Home in Salisbury, North Caro¬ lina, as a mortician. In Richmond, Virginia, John Davis is a Brick Mason for Wagner Construction Company. Melton Shuford is working as a Diesel Mechanic for Southern Railroad in Maryland. His friend, Otha Eddleman landed a job at Howard Electric Company as an Electrical Engineer. In New York I went to the Apollo Theater and to my surprise I found Ethel Kennedy singing the St. Louis Blues. In New Haven, Yvonne Hawkins is a Business Instructor at Yale University, and across town Sara Douglass is teaching English at Harvard. Charles Lilly is playing with the famous Harlem Globe-Trotters. John Kerr and Robert McCullough are playing in the World Series with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Gloria O'Kelly is an Elementary Teacher at Lincoln Heights in Great Falls, Illinois. I looked into Santa Anna Hospital in Kentucky; there, I saw Mabel Poe as a dietician and Clayton Sturdivant as a Medical Doctor. I saw William Holmes who is in a big business firm in Houston, Texas, and Martha Williams is his Secretary. In Paris I dropped in on Mary Ingram designing our latest fashions ! Oh 1 By the way, fellow class¬ mates, how about dropping around to San Diego, California by Pan American Air Lines, where yours truly works as a stewardess? May I congratulate the class of 1956! Sail on, and on! Class Prophet Ethel Davis
