Peggy Hester Class Prophecy Hello, ladies and gentlemen. I am very glad that you could come with me today on the first public trip around the world in the 1980 Whizmobile. This most unusual method of transportation is the result of five years of study and research by Douglas Cameron, President of Chevrolet Motors Inc.; Wyman Autry, owner of the world's largest dragstrips; and Woody Woodall, owner of Kaiser Motors Inc. Due to the fantastic speed of this amazing vehicle, the trip can be made in lessthantwo hours. It will take us a little longer today, however, because we will be making a few stops to visit some important people. By the way, speaking of important people, I see several passengers that J would like to introduce to you. The little old lady staring out the window is Mrs. Doris Jackson. Poor soul, she never was quite the same after leaving the '61 Senior Class of Erwin High School. Shelton Price, the distinguished gentlemen in the back seat has made quite a name for himself as a debator. Beside him is his most efficient secretary, Caron Ann Bethune. Also with us on this trip is Frankie Messer, top airline hostess for T. W. A., and Larry Odom, editor of The New York Times with his two assistants, Ronald Stewart and Larry Godwin. Walter Tripp, our driver, has just signalled that he is ready to leave. By the way, Walter won the Best Driving Award in 1979, so the best thing for you to do is sit back, fasten your seat belt, and enjoy the trip. I hope that you remembered to bring your coats because our first stop is in Greenland. Here we find Captain Norman Avery, Lieutenant Frank Marks, and Lieutenant Kenneth Byrd in charge of Air Force matters in this area. Under their command are the capable test pilots Corbett Hall, Earl Core,and Larry Crane. These men have spent so much time in the air that they can almost fly without planes now. As most of you probably remember, Lloyd Maynard was a very suc- cessful electrician while he was in Erwin. However, here he has had quite a bit of trouble with the floor furnaces he installed in the Eskimo's igloos. We must leave Greenland now, but our next stop will be in France. After establishing the La Robe Shoppe in Paris, Wanda Lee and her top fashion designers, Judi Martin, Linda Norris, Sue Warren, and Martha Watkins have astounded the world with their unusual creations. ea,
