CLASS PROPHECY Time: 7:30 p.m. Place: Glen Alpine High School Date: May 30, 1970 You are cordially invited to attend the reunion of the class of 1960. Come and be with all your friends and former class- mates and bring back the old school spirit and good times of the past. As I stand on the steps of old Glen Alpine High, watching the graduates of 1960 arrive and greeting each one, I recall the joys, disappointments and pleasures of a high school teenager. As I look for the first person to appear, whom do you think it will be? Why—it’s none other than Joan and Rebecca Patton, who are now teaching in Washington, D. C. They tell me they are getting along fine and like the teaching profession. Next, I see, arriving in a new car, Mitchell Morris and De- wey Fox. They are managers of a used ar lot. All the way from Wyoming come Tommy Carson and Clif- ford Patton who are forest rangers at Yellowstone National Park. Kenny Anderson, you might know, still has his love for old model cars with ”souped-up” motors and loud mufflers. He is a mechanic at Wells Seals Garage. Our Judy Arrowood is now very content as a basketball coach at Pleasant Gardens. A car being driven by Francis Cannon arrives with the se- nior cheerleaders of 1960. Francis is now running a beatnik cafe. The cheerleaders now appear as: Faye Kelly, a private se- cretary; Pat Deaton, a beautician; Becky Biggerstaff, a come- dienne; Libby Black, Mrs. Royce Byrd (housewife); Nancy Duck- worth, author of a lovelorn column; Anne Eggers, psychiatrist; Mindora Giles, caretaker of the small Giles’; Beckie Stamey, a Home Economics Teacher. If the cheerleaders aren’t enough to make you feel 10 years younger, take a look at the football stars of 1960--BobWhite, a movie actor; Randy Parks, an English professor; Phillip Man- gum, an insurance salesman; and Kenny Morrison, a race-car driver. Barbara Brackett is a registered nurse, working in Char- lotte, N. C. She lives at a boarding house run by Edith Cook. Colin Brittain, arriving in the latest Ford, now runs his own dairy farm, which is maintained by the use of the latest equipment. Because of their love of bus driving, we find Jimmy Craw- ley, Don Lowdermiik, and Stanley Jenkins serving the people of Burke county as drivers for the Suburban Coach Co. Even tho' Tom Deese’s dream of having a band of his own seemed vague in 1960, he is now appearing at the Coconut Grove with the ’’Jazz-Timers.” Richard Penley, still his old dependable self, is C. P. A. for the Internal Revenue Department. Tom Wells, having gained much fame for his witty remarks writes gag lines for the Red Skelton Show. Up the walk come the Mull twins, as we knew them. Jo is Mrs. William Honeycutt and Jack is married also. Jo is an ar- chitect and Jack is an interior decorator. And now we see Georgia McDaniel and Louise Norman, laughing and talking as usual. Georgia is busy telling Louise about all the things that have happened around home, since Lou has been away for the past year as a Bell Telephone worker. Whom do we see driving in now? Why --it’s Letha Pritchard. As we talk to her we learn that she is now a concert pianist. Because of their love for the lake, Jimmy Duckworth and Howard Crump are co-owners of a boatlanding. We see Mr. and Mrs. Howard Stevens driving in now. She, the former Vickie Gurley, came home for our reunion. Through many years of hard work, Alfred Davis has be- come a prosperous manager of one of Winn-Dixie Stores. Roland Carpenter, a believer in close shaves, is a quali- fied barber. We see Donald Morgan coming down the walk. He is mak- ing a career of the Air Force. He stops to speak to a few of his friends: Earl Bailey, a mechanical engineer; Tom Epley, a basketball coach; and James Honeycutt, a recruiting officer for the Army. Donald still has his friendly ways. He walks in with Eddie Justice, a very successful tobacco farmer. And what is that driving in???? Oh! One of those foreign made trucks. On the side printed in large red letters BUTCH’S Radio and T. V. Service. We are not surprised to see it is our own Butch Hildebrand. As he goes to the door we see him speak to the two Mrs. Foxes. Linda and Jean, whom are accompanied by their children, since they couldn’t find a baby sitter for all those little ones. We see Pauline Foreman, now7 tne assistant manager of Woolworth’s, talking to Martha Holland, a French and Social Stu- dies teacher. Avis Anderson and Sylvia Chandler come up together. Avis, a former airline hostess, finally, married the boy of her dreams. Sylvia is a traffic patrol woman in Charlotte. Mrs. James Brown, the former Sunny Browning, now7wrorks at the Shadowline with her husband. Mrs. Ann Winters is a successful nurse now7 at Grace Hos- pital. Last, but not least, we see Shirley Sisk coming in. She tests cigarettes for Reynolds Tobacco Company. Everyone has arrived and we go in to the auditorium and sit in our senior places of honor. Mrs. Hemphill, w7hom w e all remember from senior English, calls the roll. Everyone is pre- sent. We begin our program by standing and singing together our Alma Mater. We all think, ”Gee, how7 everyone has changed.” JANICE STEWART 28
