CLASS PROPHECY May 16, 1962 My, what a change ten years can bring! You would really be surprised to hear wnat has happened to the seniors of ' 52. The other day when I was visiting in my old home town of Fuquay Springs, I dropped in at school. Imagine my surprise when I found Jane Riley teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic to those dear little sixth graders, and Malisia Barbour teaching home economics! While I was there, Coach Lawrence Lane dropped by to say hello and tell me about his State Champion football team. The most interesting part of my visit at school, however, was sitting in on Mrs. Stack ' s Sociology Class. Yes, everything is about the same. She ' s still calling on those involuntary volunteers! I paid a visit, too, that day to Lewis Lane ' s Circle L Ranch. Imagine (or can you?) a huge cattle ranch right here in dear old Fuquay. And who do you suppose this big tycoon has hired as secretaries? Why, Betty Joe Beck and Frances Parrish. And to top it all off, he has Tommy Howard and Charles Scholl roping steers! When I picked up the local newspaper, now published by Billy Ragsdale, I was very pleased to read in the headlines that Deams Averette had just won first prize in a National Art Exhibit. You know he has just returned from Paris where he has been studying for the last two years. And guess whose picture stared at me from the front page? None other than Miss Frances Poe, who has just accepted a position with Saks on Fifth Avenue in New York, modeling (you guessed it) bathing suits! While reading the paper, I ran across numerous items concerning our fellow seniors. There was a lengthy account of Wallace Sherron ' s outstanding per¬ formance in his last professional football game; an item concerning State Prison Warden Jimmy Lineberger ' s vacation which begins next Monday; and also a notice that Doctor Rachel King and assistant Ellen Howard are going to open a small clinic in Fuquay soon. One night I attended a large square dance and was surprised to find the music furnished by none other than Willie Lee Crabtree and his Fuquay Fiddlers. Over in the corner I recognized a group of old pals and hurried over to speak to them. Ben Burchette, Judson Jones, Waylon Smith and Charles Wilson were engaged in a heated argument concerning who could grow the tallest corn. Almost every time I visit Fuquay, I meet Maurice Adcock, several times a day, riding in his ' 62 Bel Air Chevrolet from farm to farm. There seems to be quite a bit of controversy between Maurice and David Smith as to who really owns the most land. It seems David owns about half of Willow Springs and Maurice a good share in Varina. The only local business firm owned and operated by a ' 52 senior is the Rest in Peace Mortuary Parlor owned by Jack Browder. He encouraged me to direct any possible business his way. I had time for only a brief visit with Mary Joyce Jones, Jane Bridges, Violet Howard, and Rachel Dickens, those lucky young ladies for whom the golden bells of matrimony have already tolled. These were the only seniors I saw on my visit, but I did hear from several others. James Fish has turned out to be a second Fred Astaire and is now starring in a new Broadway musical. Portia Mitchell is a laboratory technician at Duke University; and Jerry Williams, Junior Bowling, and Erwin Cates are still working ' or Uncle Sam. Would you ever have guessed in 1952 that so much could happen in just ten years? ty-three
