CLASS PROPHECY It is May 29. 1967. exactly twenty-three years since the class of ' 43- ' 44 has been graduated from Gardner-Webb College, then a school of a rather small faculty, four buildings and a comparatively small student body. I am visiting in the office of President Phil Elliott, who has recently been offered a doctors degree from his Alma Mater. We are discussing the Gardner- Webb of yesterday as compared with the Gardner-Webb of today with it.- monstrous buildings, adequate equipment, beautified campus, a student body of 687. and learned teachers among whom we see former classmates, Misses Merle Butler and Marietta Hamrick, as physical education and science professors. Miss Hamrick has attracted nation-wide attention by her work with the atom. Inspired by the revolution of Gardner-Webb in the past two and one-half decades. I decided to visit our sophomore class president. Rev. L. M. Kanipe. President Elliott informs me that I will find him in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and I go to Charlrotte. North Carolina, to board a plane for said location. On boarding the plane, I discover to my surprise that I am to travel with two ole courtin ' mates, Brig. Gen. and Mrs, Robert S. Jones. Mrs. Jones is having quite a time with little Brenda Anne, who is only ten. Brig. Gen. Jones is on his way to Washington for an important military conference with President Roosevelt (yes. he ' s still president ) . After a long talk with the Joneses. I turn my attention to the evening paper which I bought at the last stop. Opening it to the sports page I find that Miss Sarah Bankhead. who has been chosen as football coach to the Green Boys, has reached her ambition — an eleven man football team. They say its miraculous the way she holds ( ?) her men. And there on the society page is the former Miss Ruth Moseley ' s column Advice to the Lovelorn. ' Not until we reach Philadelphia do I discover that Pearl Grigg is the hostess on the plane. The pilot says they never lack for hot air. The first sight I see in Philadelphia is Clyde McAlister sitting in his commercial law office with Louise Garrett as the waiting client. After an hour ' s search with the aid of Rosa Mae Philbeck. who is a prominent Philadelphia taxi driver. I find Kanipe. Before long I learn that he is pastor of Sixty-Second Baptist Church and Dr. Guy Johnson is his assistant pastor. Verdic Chapman is the educational director and Jayne Elliott, the fiddler. At this very time they are having a scries of talks by Miss Mae Chapman, returned missionary from China. In Philadelphia has been established the Ponce de Leon Research Laboratory by Miss Helen Lancaster with the aid of Blanche Whitaker and Carolyn Hill. They are conducting a search for life-giving water from the Fountain of Youth. It seems that they are having a colossal success since ' Cuddles. ' the campus cat. and their guinea pig is still alive as a result of their experiments. The research is being financed by Lucielle Causby. prominent lady lawyer of Phila- delphia, and Mabel Spangler. who as a result of her marriage, is heir to the noted Wall Estates in Wyoming. After a short stay with Dr. Kanipe, the course of events leads me to New York City. To my surprise New York has its first woman mayor. Miss Mavin Boyles. formerly of Toluca. North Carolina, a thriving metropolis of the South. As personal secretary to Mavin, Bertie Lee Spurling serves capably. On Broadway I find Misses Joyce Tate and Sadie Clark. Miss Tate is acting and Miss Clark producing. We remember that both got their start at Gardner-Webb through the production of Stephen Foster. From Miss Clark I learn much about two former classmates. Misses Margaret Washburn and Frances Gillespie. Miss Washburn is being called America ' s Young Kate Smith and Miss Gillespie is just being called From New York wc continue our journey to Des Moines, South Dakota, where we find Mirian Hamrick and Mary Olga Watson. They are co-owners of one of the largest and best developed farms in the state. In Seattle. Washington. I run across Kat McKinney who is librarian in the Cities Mem- orial Library. Also in Seattle is Gwen BiggerstafF who instructs Spanish scholars in the high school there. In San Francisco I bid farewell to Thelma Cash. Virginia Seism, and Marjorie Hammett. who are sailing to Hawaii on a vacation cruise. Adventuring to Hollywood, I find Margaret Whitaker and Lucy Fortune, who are now make-up artists for Paramount Studios. For the sake of prestige. I visit Reno. There, as always was expected, we find Gerry Walker and Mabel Padgett. Gerry is seeking her third divorce, but this is Mabels only visit. To our utter dismay we find Meredith McGinnis standing outside waiting for a male to come out with his divorce in his hand. Wed better leave! „ , Bobby CRAPPS. Prophet Page Seventeen
