PROPHECY ;ik- inside. While lalkiiie lo Hek ' ii. I leaincd thai Lcroy Walker and his guitar are now very famous and that Lcroy has made sev jral popular i-eccrdings. I crossed the street then, and there directing the traffic was none othci- than Roy Poteal. He told me Edith Evans is now the ownei ' of Gladdeu ' s Cafe and Betty Ann Bowman is assistant manager at Belk ' .-;. As I strolled on down the street I decided to stop at the dru! store to pass the time away. While I was sitting there, absorbed in thoughts of yes- tei ' day. I decided that the little short soda jerk must be Laura Ann Green, and. nue to my decision, she was. She told me that .Iimmy Wise and Cecil Lau£»hridt?e were lix ' mg lives of bachelorhood in the hills of Tennei scc and were very well contented. This conversation soon ciuiie to an end. and I was on my way. Since the evening was all r.nne and I had nothing to do. 1 decided to stop at the museum and browse about a bit. You can ' t miagine my astonishment to find that its owner was one of my dear classniates. Dons Whitener. She and I discussed our school days to the fullest extent: then I was on my way again. Well, my visit in Marion had to come to an end. and I had to make my way back to AsheviUe. I ci ' lled a cab to take me to the bus station, and. behold, when I sat down who should be in the cab but Mamie Lewis, who was going home after a hard day ' s work at the First National Bank, and who . ihould be the cab drivel ' but Jimmie Lawing. We talked for a while about our old school days, and the good times we had at Glenwood High. The more we talked, the more there was to talk about. Finally. Jim told me that Annie Ray is now a basketball coach at Mais Hill College. Annie was good at basketball w hile in school, but I thought graduation would be the end of her ball career: ho ' e er. she still seems to be as spry and energetic as she did almost ten years ago. After seeing and talking to all of my classm.ates I rem.einbered that ] had heard nothing about Anna Belle Ledford: so I was curious and asked Mamie about hei. She told me Anna Belle was still working at Rose 5c 10c Store. As I climbed aboard my bus and traveled toward Ashe- villc. I could not help being sobered by the reflection of how scattered we had become in ten brief years. SARAH JANE MARLOW
