Z)L 1940 L- lass HOROSCOPE An the Class of 1940 was contemplating it coming commencement exercises, it fell to my lot to forecast the future of these fair damsels and gallant young men. After vainly endeavoring to cultivate what is commonly known as second sight, I concluded that prophetic vision was not my strongest point. The only resource left was the immortal crystal hall so, resigning myself to its powers. I discover the fate of my fellow-students of the Class of 1940 at Boiling Springs College. Upon gazing into the clear crystal, I see a blur of faces. One comes nearer to my point of view and I recognize the president of our class, James Rotan as Sports Editor of the Crarmrlon Daily Bl.nl. Next in line of vision comes Inez Putnam who is making her debut into New York society. She is a recent product of Martin's Success and Glamour School, owned and operated by Mildred Martin. R. C. Doggctt owns Bright Spot, a theater on Broadway, where Bernice Cain's (Richard Taylor) latest picture, Hearts Aflame, has been called back for a return engagement. At a nearby night club. I see George Chatham, the head waiter. His sweet little wife. Miss Clark of the class of '41, is at home with the kids. In Chicago, J. C. Dighviscofvitch is director of a symphonic orchestra. Mr. O. B Lancaster is president of the Southern Baptist Convention and pastor of the First Baptist Church in z tlunta, Georgia. Also in Atlanta I see Jesse Sprinkle, president of a Charity Board. Mr. Guy Walker is pastor of the First Baptist Church in Columbia, South Carolina. Mrs. R F. Morgan, none other than Sunshine Toms, is retired head-nurse of the Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem. She has a job of housekeeping now. Joe and John Compton are twin internes in the newly founded hospital at the New York of the South, Cliffside, North Carolina. Mr. D. L. BullL Wilson is the mayor of this thriving town, much aided by his helpful and loving little wife. Ruby Dixon. Ola Mae Cash is still happily married in the same town. In Shelby, quite a few class-mates are located Frank Dover is a policeman. Geneva and Victoria Cash have a thriving business as seamstresses for the town. Arlan Bailey is pastor of the First Baptist Church in Shelby Mrs. Bailey, the former Miss Rcba Brooks, is quite an inspiration. Catherine Jenkins teaches voice in Shelby High School, where Yvonne Ray is an excellent piano teacher. Her latest popular song. Rose m Spring.” has just been printed. Rose and Mary Harrill have a very exclusive dress shop in Shelby. Next door is The Powder Puff, a beauty parlor, efficiently operated by Mrs.---------------------, the former Marie E. Hamrick. Familiar campus scenes now enter the crystal ball. Back at Boiling Springs several friends have met once more. The college has grown and the campus covers about forty acres, with twelve beautiful buildings. In the faculty I see Jenois Proctor, head of the French department, Mary Martin, head of the Commercial department, and Nancy Carroll Moore teaches voice. Katherine Bankhead lives in the community as Mrs. Jenkins. Thomas I.ec is manager of a ten-cent store in the town. A small broadcasting station has been erected and I sec Ruth Martin presenting an excellent daily talk on successful candy making. The Mathematics department of the college is using a book compiled by James Price and Beatrice Phillips. Lcttic Scruggs operates an ice-cream parlor on the campus. The misty blur of faces again fills the crystal ball, and the prophecy is complete. I find that my friends have been successful in their chosen careers, whether in home-making or the professional world. Part of this success is surely due to tlie influence and advice gained at dear Boiling Springs College. Jenois Proctor
