CLASS PROPHECY One evening I was sitting under the sliade of a huge weeping willow tree near the placid waters of a quiet broolc contemplating the future of my classmates. Suddenly, I heard the groan- ing of the waters. As I loolied into the dark brooii I saw these words Do not weep, my lady, like the weeping willow. Gaze into the brook and what you wish to know will be revealed to you. Before me stood an institution of higher learning which I recognized as Columbia University with Marie Tucker as one of the English Instructors. The president was none other than Cornelius Williams. As the scene unfolded I saw Thomas Barnes escorting Oille Bryant to the twenty -fifth floor of the Empire State Building. There she was t)eing interviewed by Samuel Mills. Incldently, the elevator Iwy was George Hicks. Then a great city came Into view. Along the familiar street called Broadway, strolled EUaree Cunningham, a recent winner of her Ph.D. degree. In lights at the AppoUo Theatre were these words: Stormy Weather .... Annie Little substituting for Lena Home. Also on the screen was George Andrews talcing Bill Robinson ' s place. The scene quickly went away as I recognized the Opera House with Pauline Muldrow taking over Marian Anderson ' s engagement. In the next scene were many things. Charles Wiggs finally passed the test for President Truman ' s body-guard. Forrest Bolton has become president of a Beauty College in New York City. Across the street I noticed a dress shop where Beulah Hill, Hazel Galney, and Jetta Knight were clerks. George Moore was the manager. As the small town of Knehurst came into view, I saw Zebulon Gordon working on the street as the new shoe shine l»y. Then, FayettevUle, North Carolina appeared and I saw Eloise Starling and Bessie Murphy saying Alright, children, stay in line please. at Newbold Training School. Across the Murchlson Road I saw WUliam Hill on the back of a truck. I think he was selling ice. In Petersburg, Virginia Lottie Munn had finally opened a beauty shop. Pauline Pigford and Effie Saunders were working for her. Across the street I recognized Virginia McMillan ' s juke joint with the latest hit, Why Don ' t You Haul Off and Love Me One More Time? I then saw a newspaper and read that Kenneth White was candidate for President of the United States. Also in this paper were work ads; Mildred Reid and Gladys Bland were applying for jobs as dish- washers. Velma Adams, a retired old school teacher, had her good friend, Gladys Hanldns, for her maid and Thad McCurry for yard boy. The state of South Carolina came Into view. Way Down in Dixie, I recognized Herbert Spruill and George Coburn in the corn field saying, Get up mule. In the same state, James Bellamy was presenting his minstrel show with Pearlie Worthy, Resa Andrews, and Maudie Lawrence as his clowns. Gus McLaughlin was preaching at 40 Eleventh Crossroad, on the subject of Cheese . Three of his regular members were Mr. and Mrs. Harold Cushingberry and Harold, Jr. Dorothy Crawley was busy with her six boys in her two-room apartment. Lucille Brown was catching a plane to join her husband, DeWltt Reid, who is a Captain in Japan. Colethia Falson was running an old-fashioned revival meeting at her church. Well, June McCown had finally passed the exam- ination wtiieh entitled her to the presidency of FayettevUle State Teachers College. John Isler was director of the Choir with Walter Williams and Delilah Gilmore assistants. Roberta Harrington and Eleanor Peterson were weeping because their husbands Just left. Adolphus Wright had just learned what dew point really is through his science instructor, Willie Taylor. Julia P. Judah was the new dramatic teacher in Bert County, Georgia. Gaither Perkins ' name was in Who ' s Who in America . The water ijegan to get muddy as the scenes passed away. I still wanted to know about my other classmates so I turned and placed my hands on my Ouija Board. This was told to me: William Cart er was running a two-truck farm with his landlord Edward Taylor. Milton Yarboro has his Ph.D. degree and was teaching in Goldsboro. Roy and Horold McNeill were playing twin brothers on Virginia State ' s football team. Emmett P arker was working on his Master ' s degree at Yale University. Johnnie Gaines and John Armstrong were operating a jewelry store in Tennessee. They were wondering if they would ever get a customer. Mary Gerald and Edward Fleming were saying, I do in a double ring ceremony with the Father L. Haithman officiating. Essie Terry had her Master ' s degree in Cheese , and was happily married to a soldier. Ethel Sutton was as happy as an old shoe in her new home with her husland and three children, Glorie, Joyce, and June, Jr. Ophelia Council was Home-coming Queen at Howard University. Floyd Caldwell had the honor of crowning her queen. Hul)ert McDonald was building a brick home and was wondering who was to be the lucky bride. Betty McLean was head-nurse at Plttman Hospital in FayettevUle, North Carolina. Elfenla Williams asked Oulja if she would ever find herself a husband. Ouija quietly went to No and proceeded to spell I a-m t-i-r-e-d. That ' s all folks. Ouija has had his say. Prophets Elfenla Williams Ethel Sutton
