CLASS PROPHECY Well, well, who would have thought that it has been eight years today since that class of ,4S graduated. Time surely does fly, and many things have hap- pened during those eight years. I think I'll glance through the paper before I go to work and see what's in the news today. Hey, what's this? Paul Beaden, is running for mayor of Glencoe. That big politician David Harper, made a sensational speech for him last night that is expected to swing a lot of votes by Paul's favor. Running against him is Junior Stephens who is thought to have the majority of votes, but this race will bear watching. I see where the well known poet, David Vowell, has just taken top honors in a nation-Wide poetry contest: The title of his poem is My Land, My Life, My Love. Now what inspired him to write that? Oh! Oh! What a picture! Here's Betty Brown, Margaret Simpson, and Jean Daugherty, all candidates for the title of Miss America this year. I sure- ly would like to have been the judge, but it seems as if Ted East beat me to it this year. Say, this picture was made by Dolores Harris. I didn't know she was a newspaper photographer of the Glencoe Times. Here's an interesting item: W. C. Morris, Howard Wynn, and George Booker have all gone into business together. Morris, Wynn, Booker Transfer Company with the largest in the South. As well as I can remember Garvin Wells was the manager when I visited his office about a year ago. At that time he had three of the cutest secretaries. Let me see if I can remember their names: Oh yea! Joyce Brasher, Loratte Vinson, and Mae Vines. Garvin sure has a good pob. Now I'l1 turn to the society section. Hmm, I see where Ruth Clark and her rich husband have just returned from Alaska where they have made a tour for white bear furs. Q Ha! Eva Rocks, Mary Nell Jackson, Doris Parson have just received their release from the Nurse Cadet Corps. They all served overseas for three years. f Look at this!, They have just finished the State Memorial Hospital in which Bill Huie is the head doctor with Fay Parker, Juanita Sims, Hazel Rainer, Marvis Otinger, Ruth Strawn, Mary Vice, as active head nurses. L Jane Stith lhas just returned from the University where she gave a talk for the A. E. A. meeting. Jane has just finished her course in Algebra where she is going to take up Mr. Summers step. gfW'eel, look who's editor of the Glencoe Times, Jo Smith and well well, Dean Ropef, journalist. . My goodness, cathfine Moore, president of the Servicemen Wives' Club, has just finished organizing in which Qnee Martha Scott, Fannie Lou Wood- ward, Hnogene Glass, and Josephine Clarkpj are outstanding officers. What,s this about Lawrence Parker and Nettie Lay finally after eight years of hard struggle have reached their goal. Nettie as the South's best musician and Lawrence Hollywood's favored trombonistsf' Well, this was it . . . The Class of '45 . . . all accounted for. Anyway, I can always say, I knew them when . . .
