PROPHECY OF CLASS OF 1952 The year 1972 comes into focus in the dream and before me I see great masses of people cheering and celebrating. When I ask the reason, a newspaper is flashed before me with huge headlines - “Civil War Fought Again-South Victoriously Defeats the North - President Calvin Curry takes over in the capital of the United States of the South, Quincy, Florida.” Upon inquiring I find that President Curry, with the help of his very intelligent private sec- retary, Mory Lou Kornegay, is doing a wonderful job of organizing the government. Speaking of public officials, it seems that Otto Roberts is City Manager an J Anita Yawn is his private secretary. On the Defense Scene, Pat Creamer is a captain in the Jet Air Force of the South and Harold Sheffield is a General in the Southern Army. The scene now focuses to the businesses in the capital of the South, Quincy, and I see a huge service station owned by the service station tycoon, Dewitt (Vans. Then I see a large new Theater, “The Stem” managed by Quinton Paul who is now the mana- er of Enterstate Enterprises in Quincy, where at the present time they are featuring the famous new discovery, Winston McLendon, who has taken Gene Kelly’s place. Next I see a large funeral home, the biggest in the South owned by Bert Morgan. Next door is the big Story Electric run by Sonny Story, who is now married to that cute Boots” Edwards, he went with in high school. And “Boots” cousin Delores Shepard is now hap- pily married to, none other than, Admiral Frank Lines. The scene now flashes to the offices of the Gadsden County Times, the largest newspaper in the South, where Montrose Moody is the famous comic strip editor. WOWIM What was THAT??? Oh, it was just Amos Glisson driving by in his brand new 1972 Cadillac; “Moose” is now part owner of Watson Sikes Meat Market. Mildred Pate now owns and operates the famous dress shop the “Famous” while Joyce Ann Hanna owns a chain of famous “Hanna” grocery stores. Speaking of grocery stores, Wayne Bevis has recently opened the “Bevis, Jr. Superette” in the thriving metropolis of Gretna. Also near Gretna is a huge tobacco farm owned by the famous Baxter Swing, who is the own- er of Swing’s Rope Cigars, and in his past time Baxter models for General Motors as the famous Chief Pontiac. The scene shifts to Lake Talquin which is now owned by the famous S.L.Presnell who has made a fortune in the catfish business. Now I see Joe’s service station where Jimmy McPherson and Louis Powell bought out Joe Chesser and are doing what they always planned to do- Nothing. Speaking of famous personalities, William Hanna now holds the celebrated position of night watchman at the Stock Pavillion and Bill Lowery finally went to work — he is now the most famous bootlegger in the South. Well, well, there’s Glenn Darsey who after twenty years is still trying to find a woman who will marry him. It seems that the brilliant Jerry Owens has finally succeeded in disproving Einstein’s theory of Relativity. Hollywood has been taken by storm by the second Alan Ladd, the handsome playboy Bobby Holley. Josie Sodec is the most famous Certified Public Accountant in the South and is now on her second million. The famous designer, Shirley Jones, has recently opened a large dress shop in Quincy, sel- ling her designs exclusively. The great artist, Jimmy Kimbrel, has recently opened his art display at the famous Gallery in New York. After twenty years Betty Willmon is still searching for her ideal millionaire, pardon me, her ideal man. While at our dear ole G.H.S. Jean Ford has taken Miss Crowe's place teaching gymn and Mary Jo Fain now holds the famous position as the first woman band director in the history of the school. The big cattleman, Spence McCall has recently had his huge ranch surveyed by the most fa- mous surveyor in the South, Peter Webb. Speaking of big things, Paul Nicholson has finally achieved his life’s ambition and last Christmas sold his first crop of Christmas trees that he planted when he graduated from flight school. Chris Hiers and Betty Waddell both went to nurses school and Betty is now a registered nurse and Chris is an airline hostess for the United Airlines of the South. James Lewis, the famous pro. basketball player, has achieved his life’s ambition. Good heavens, what’s that terrible noise??? It sounds like a whole crowd of children. Oh, it’s just Carole Smith, it seems Carole is carrying on the Smith tradition. What’s this, oh I see now, the gleam from that cup nearly blinded me. It’s Kenneth Harmon re- ceiving the loving cup for winning the National Golf Tournament of 1972. On the domestic scene, Carolyn McMiIlian, Sara Lee Morris, and Faye Adkinson are happily married and they spend their spare time polishing up their game of Canasta. Well, what do you know, Emily Clark finally got around to marrying that guy in the Air Force. The two big farmers, Wayne Hanna and Alvin Smith, are supplying Quincy with food. As for Nancy Bostick, she just completed her doctor’s degree and she is now principal of Gadsden High School. In the musical world, Jean Driggers is happily married to the newly popular song writer and orchestra leader-E. T. Evans. And the famous concert pianist, LaVetra Armstrong, Jr. has just completed her 125th Con- cert at Carnegie Hall.
