PROPHECY The adventure feature of the week was about 4 Australian ranchers: Marlowe Farris, Rick Wise, Lonnie Moses, and Wayne Crawford. Their story was written by world traveler and adventuress, Sherry Francum. Education had progressed by the help of Dr. Mary Ellen Baxter, renowned expert on child guidance. Professor Robert Bryant of Yale had completed another speaking tour in Europe. The National Association of Educators had picked the following high school teachers for their contributions in their fields: Terecia Mulwee, Algebra; and Warren Scott, Geography and Economics. The entertainment scene was brightened by the night club, “Soul Shack,” operated by Tommy Carpenter. Singing to a packed audience, the Sundowners were Marva Poole, John Cantrell, and Martha Fullwood. Their songs were high on the charts of WMNY where discs were spun by Michael Bennett, Ethel Davis, and Dale Keller, the talkative trio. The favorite T.V. show seemed to be “Gene and Rusty” starring Gene Hallyburton. Next in ratings was the morning exercise show, “Keeping Trim,” with push-ups led by Angie Vance. My flight was announced so I hastened to the plane. Ahead of me I recognized two members of the jet set, Sarah Morgan, and David Gwyn, a playboy on the Riviera. They were whisked into the V.I.P. lounge. At the plane’s door I was in for another shock when the stewardesses turned out to be Barbara Huffman, Lee Benfield, Barbara McMahan, and Kay Patton. I was shown my seat and we started to rehash old times when the pilot’s voice boomed over the loud speaker. It was the voice of Steve Henson. | felt a tap on my shoulder. Turning around I saw Kathy Pollard, Lorraine Baker, Margie Pritchard, and Brenda Stillwell all with their husbands. It seems that they were returning from second honeymoon trips to Europe. I settled back in the seat with a feeling of satisfaction. My school class had fulfilled all my anticipation. Chery] Pitts 27

CLASS It felt good to be home again. Even though it was drizzling rain, the Kennedy airport was a welcome sight. I had been in the Peace Corps for the past three years; I was completely out of touch with the happenings of the United States. There was an hour’s delay before my flight bound for North Carolina. I settled down in a leather chair in the midst of the bustling lounge. Thumbing through the magazine rack, I found the current issue of Time: September 2, 1979. To my surprise, I recognized the face on the cover. The profile was that of Steve McIntosh. The title read: “Successful Scientist Receives Nobel Prize.” I hurriedly turned to the cover story page. Steve, along with his laboratory assistant Janie Farris, had worked many hours on this project. The award was presented by Michael Hood, a generous philan thropist, in Stockholm, Sweden. Examining the magazine closer, I found it packed with G. A. personalities. The credit page revealed that the Editor-in-Chief was Janet Teague. As editor of our high school annual, she had many hours of experience behind her. Her staff included Linda McElrath, Managing Editor; Betty Stacy, Publisher; and Rita Scott, Social Editor. Correspondents were Connie Stamey and Ruby Morrison, who had a nose for news even in high school. The main news story of the week was the opening of the new Municipal Art Center in Washington designed by the genius engineer, Ted Mull. The plush interior was created by Anita Guigou, a nationally known interior decorator. With many sleek modern lines, this versatile building included many features. The New York Philharmonic Orchestra, directed by Dudley Greene, was to perform in concert. Two members of this distinguished group were Dian Brittain and Michael Shell. Also on the afternoon program was a recitation by Randy Dale, poet laureate, and a Shakespeareanreading by James Lytle. Both had their start in Mrs. Lonon’s drama class. An original modern ballet, choreographed by Stanley (shake-a-leg) Epley, was to be performed that night. Government affairs seemed to be in fine hands. Head of the Dept. of Agriculture was Mike Orders. Pat Perkins was the Ambassador to France, and her diplomatic endeavors had stopped many crises. Leading the Navy was Fleet Admiral Steve Branch; Dept. of the Interior, Paul Jordon; Librarian of Congress, Sylvia Benfield; and Head of the P.B.I., cool and collected Richard Browning. An advertisement caught my eye. The striking model in the miniskirt was Johnese Williams. She was seated in a new 1980 Corvette designed by Johnny Beaver, Buster Beck and Glen Gwyn, the wonder boys of the car industry. They also built the winning car at the Indianapolis 500, driven by Phillip Wilson. Trailways Bus Company had honored the best driver of the year. There was a tie between Sandra Orders and Billy Sou th who both had perfect driving records. This year’s fashions seem to be dictated by the designer Virginia Hastings. Her look was seen everywhere. Specializing in fashions for the petite girl, Susan Merrill’s Boutique was the “in” place in New York for girls under five feet. The best in men’s fashions was found at the Conley Clique, owned jointly by Jakie and Eugene Conley. By the looks of the women’s section, to be “‘in the swing”’ a girl had to have her hair styled at the Fifth Avenue Salon by one of these well known stylists: Katrina Herman, Wanda Holland, or Mona Staver. For very special occasions, one went to Bob’s, a private salon owned by Bobby Hensley. Sports were an important part of my high school life. While I was looking at the sports pages, I saw that our athletes didn’t stop their athletic powers in high school. The artful passer for the Oakland Raiders was Steve “Scrapper” Carswell. The manager of this great ball club was Butch Bowman. Pace setters on the basketball courts of Los Angeles and Detroit were R. W. Dale and Ken Fann. Pitching the St. Louis Cardinals to victory was Herbert McDowell. An up-and-coming player for the Dodgers was Ronald Poteet. The Green Bay Packers had a great season thanks to Henry Wallace and their veteran coach, Sam Wiseman. Covering these sports events was Lynn Arrowood, a former basketball coach who had never lost a game. The world of medicine had a major breakthrough with the discovery of how to completely erase freckles. In charge of this project were Andrea Hoyle and Frances Patton assisted by Peggy McFalls R. N. Kathy Crooks and Delores Costner were noted for their work at the Mayo Clinic. The stock market was at a healthy level according to an article written by business tycoons Bud Lail and Lester Cooper. Vickie Michaels, Carolyn Causby, and Judy Ross, owners of the American Tobacco Company, predicted a good year for 1980. The President of the A. P., Steve White, attributed his success to his beginning at Keller’s I. G. A. 26
