CLASS PROPHECY This should be an interesting assignment,'' I thought to myself as I left the editor's office andrushed to catchthe plane for New York. Later, flying high above the clouds I couldn't help thinking how unusual it was that I knew so many Success - ful People of the 20th Century.'' Yousee, I'ma journalist and my assignment was to report the happenings at a banquet for ''Suc- cessful People.'' Believe it or not, most of them had beenin my graduating class at Glen Alpine High. We must have learned more than we thought we did!!! The first person I saw when I entered the hotel was Hilton Hutchins --better known to us as Wayne. He bought the famous chain of hotels with money he saved from our ice cream money. As I registered at the desk I saw afamiliar face. Carolyn Pat- ton was operating the hotel switchboard--and what a switchboard it was! She could never have done it if it had not been for her background in math. As I hurried upstairs I passed Kenneth Ingle. He was the chief bus boy of all the Hilton Hotels. He was a success all be- cause of the fact that he drove a bus for G.A.H.S. After I had rested for awhile I went shopping. I was sur- prised when the first shop I entered was owned by Carolyn Al- len. She got started in business because she had to sell her beautiful clothes to pay for another dented fender. She was so successful that she is now able to sell exclusive Paris designs by Faye Mooney. Next I stopped in Grady's Esquire Shop and sure enough, there was Donald, driving (or should I say hot- rodding it) around his store in his newest car, a Crawley Spe- cial. We always knew that math, physics--and French--would help Benny after he graduated from State! In the rear of Do- nald's store, Andy Giles was modeling a suit. Of course, the shop was so exclusive that Andy was only allowedto speak French. Poor Andy! He very seldom talks any more and he used to say the funniest things! ! Naturally I wanted to have my hair fixed before the big night. ’ So I made a quick trip by Jo Reep's very fashionable beauty salon where James Beck was giving his ''Toni Special for the low, low price of $52.22. After a hectic afternoon of shopping and talking over old times, I hoppedin a cab to return to the hotel. No! Not Royce Byrd driving a cab. We made it to the hotel in nothing flat. That night Ientered the banquet halljust in timeto hear Je- wel Shepard playthe piano. She's withthe N. C.State Orchestra now. Naturally I knew who the president of the organization would be--Robert Hilliard. Robert is a millionaire now just from serving as president of variousclubs. Wereally gavehim plenty of experience. I know Mrs. Stewart would be proudto see so many political leaders fromour class. Jimmy Hemphill and Doug Dale are run- ning on the same ballot. Yes, they have changed politics --they formed the ''No Work-Know Nothing party. The original idea comes from G.A.H.S. The meal was delicious. It was prepared by Dolores Wise, the most famous chef in New York--andtherichest. Wonder if our lunch room had any effect on her life? After dinner came thespeeches. It was obvious some of us hadn't paid attention in Mrs. Young's EnglishClass. Ofcourse, this wasn't true of Jean Patton, who is a worldfamous doctor and Geraldine Epeley, whois areknownedhistory teacher at Miami University. We knew they would be ''Successful People. Also up from Florida were Richard Smith and Bill Prest- wood, famous designers of the Elite Racing Car. Judgingfrom their suntans they must have spent most of theirtime racing up and down the beach. They have made carloads of money by win- ning races--mostly because of the excellent driving of Bob But- ler and Richard Hemphill. Because Richard is soambitious, he is teaching Norma Houk how to speak with a Southern accent. By the way, you may have read Norma's Advice tothe Lovelorn column in your local paper. From even farther southcomes Wanda Ledford. She's doing a wonderful job of converting the Ubangi natives and Siberian monsters. I don't know what sheis converting themto, though. Wanda brought three famous guides of the deep darkjungle with her. They do look vaguely familiar. Why yes--they are Jerry Stillwell, Wayne Orders, and Carroll Browning. They are fa- mous because they never carry guns andalways kill the big game with their bare hands. Wasn't it a pity about Wayne getting his hand bit off by a lion? Icouldn't help overhearing the conversation between Barbara Epley, Patsy Curtis, and Ray Kiser. It seems Barbarais a fa- mous lady wrestler and Patsy is her manager. Of course, we all know what Ray does. He is taking bets on who will win the next match. It seems our class really produced a crop of athletics --e- ven if Coach did have his doubts. Lucille Queenand Anna Lau- ra Crooks have just been votedthe two best looking girls in their basketballleague. And there's Tom Biggerstaff--he's still play - ing ball for Carolina. But he's thinking about becoming Coach at G.A. Tech. Alice Reid is thenew Golf Champion. It seems She beat her husband by two strokes. Alice has also had several song hits lately. It seems as if the girls of our class weren'ttoo successful in catching husbands. Toni Orders was one of the lucky ones and she's still living very happily in Glen Alpine. That can't be Carolyn McFalls I hear--but it is!! She is very happy teaching Home Ec. at a boy's school. And sitting beside her is R.N. Carolina Finger. (Caroline's onlytrouble is that she forgets when to give everyone their pills). Carolyn and Caroline had bothplannedto teachphysics, but for some strange reason changed their minds. Not more politics! Walter Farris is Ruby Jordan's cam- paign manager for the president of Outer Space, Inc. Don't let Walter fool you. He made his money selling ice cream, too! I saw Frances Crawley and her husband, Jack, sitting quiet - ly at the end of thetable. Sheis the owner of the chain of Craw- ley Food Markets. For entertainment we had Bob Ollis, the famous singer, and Jerry Roper, a clown in Jeanette Wilson's circus. Before returning to the hotel I stopped by Tellis Penley's Hamburger Haven (he got the idea from Gene's). Sitting ina corner booth were Phyllis Smithand Pat Scott, models for Vogue Magazine. It had really been a wonderful day, seeing all my old class - mates. And wasn't it wonderful that we wereall so successful! You certainly never would have known it ten years ago.
