You’ll not see tears of sorrow in our eyes, only tears for the memories that we have of G. H. S. and for all the old familiar faces we’re leaving behind. For us life has a new beginning—there is work to be done.

COURTESY OF COCA-COLA PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF 1954 BY CAROL GRAY SAPP Hear all ye unbelievers in the supernatural and give heed unto my wisdom for I am a woman of mighty and mystic powers so that I can tell the future of this class of Gadsden County High. I am the seventh daughter of the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter. I also was bom under the double veil. I can read the past, the present and the future and I never err. As I project myself into the future I see that our class has spread to all comers of the world. I pick up a copy of the New York Times from a newstand of that city and find that Miss Sarah Lee Kincaid, world famous pianist will give a concert in Carnegie Hall next week. Those early morning practices are pay- ing off. Another item in the Times tells of the appointment of Pat Woodward as pastor of one of the largest Presby- terian Churches in the United States. What’s this? More of my classmates in New York? Sure enough. Howard Peacock and Homer Barber, those famous FBI men are in the headlines. They “Caught their man” but had to be given first aid at Mercy Hospital by head nurse Sue Peacock. Here on the sports page is a notice that Louis Summerford, feather-weight champion of the world, will de- fend his title against Wallace Blount tonight at Madison Square Garden. I wander down to Grand Central Station to watch the trains and see an unusually large crowd of people. I find that they are there to welcome the U. S. Ambassador to France. Raymond Harris and his wife, the former Miss Jaunita Dean. They will be sailing soon for France on the S. S. United States whose Captain is Bobby Mc- Pherson. Also sailing is the former Miss America, our own “Tobacco Queen,” Mary Sue Thomas. Then wanting to see the Space Plaform soon to be projected into space I travel to Nevada, there I see Joe Woodbery. famous engineer from Georgia Tech, who is in charge of this project. Now. attracted by the noisy jets landing near by, I wander over for a closer look. There I see Lannis Stephens and Bobby Rudd, Air Cadets under the command of General James Aubrey Nelson. Looking in on Las Vagas I see my old friend Eddie Duncan who is working on his second million. He lost his first On to Hollywood to attend the World Premier of the comedy “You All Come” starring Nancy Stevenson, al- ready the winner of three Oscars. While there I see Beulah Laslie; she finally realized her ambition to marry a millionaire. Next I go to the wilds of Africa where I see Ruby Jean Livingston, missionary nurse, teaching some of the natives to read. She got her missionary Doctor too. Tired of traveling, I come home once more to dear old Quincy and wander down its streets. My, I almost got run over that time. Why it’s Alexander Johnson, George Johnson and Billy Stinson, wealthy tobacco farmers and packers, riding around in their souped up jalopy which runs on atomic fuel, sold exclusively at the filling stations managed by Wayne Brockman. Billy says he wears a hat so that he won’t have sinus trouble like Mr. Shanks said we would cause we ran around bareheaded. In order to recover from the shock at almost being run over I wander into Mays and see that it’s the hangout for all the school kids as usual and there’s Melton Johnson who manages it these days, still selling Tootsie Pops” like wildfire. Outside again I meet Polly Joe Cooper, Marjorie Agerton and Martha Cross shopping together at the new su- per market called “Agertons,” Sonny has a chain throughout the South. Also on the domestic scene are Jeannette Faircloth, Shirley Jean Smith, Mary Joyce Morrow, Annette Downs and Jaunita Whiddon out for a stroll with the children. Next I visit GHS and see Jo Ann Suber who is principal of Elementary School, Marcelle Potter, who is teach- ing Home Economics and Peggy Parramore, who took Miss Crowe’s place as Physical Ed Teacher. Also back in Quincy is Betty Sue Turnage who is the Presbyterian Youth Director here, and who is with her? Why it’s Theresa Larson the famous dancing teacher, who has just opened a studio here. Bet she’ll do well. It seems that Nell Mashburn and Shirley Vause have made a name for themselves as singers. I heard their program last night over that large network of TV and Radio Stations run jointly by Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Martin. Mrs. Martin is the former Miss Annette Waddell. Next I heard Mary Eleanor Race’s campaign speech. She’s running for re-election to the U. S. Senate from Florida. Always knew she would do something spectacular. Who is that? Why it’s Vonnie Ceil Stephens who married that certain boy from South Carolina and they are house hunting. The real estate agent showing them around is Charles Abney. Well, well, if it isn’t Edgar Kindrick and Hersholt Johnson in a forestry truck. They both are with the Florida Forestry Service. Traveling to Tallahassee, I attend the inauguration of Jack Cooper as Governor of Florida. His very competent secretary is Betty Jo Haire. Also doing well in Tallahassee are Kenneth Davis who is a bank president, Jeannette Clark who is a profes- sor of Business at FSU, and Larry Wynne, famous orthodontist. In Larry’s waiting room I find Mary Thompson, Barbara Warren, Mary Sue Wells, and Dorothy Harrison wait- ing to get braces put on their children’s teeth. Larry’s very attractive receptionist is Mary Sue Dees. She’ll be leaving soon to follow the Navy. Ran into Mary Jane May, famous artist who has been drawing advertisements for leading magazines. She tells me that Dorothy Sanders is doing well as a Powers Model. As I walk along I see a familiar name on the door of a law office. Yes. that’s Bill Duck, famous lawyer. He learned how to argue his case in Mr. Hull’s English class. I must hurry along now, I don't want to be late for Billie Sue Johnson’s wedding. She finally got her Methodist preacher. Taking a last look in my crystal ball I see that through the years boys and girls are still struggling with the “Prophecy” as I did.
