Prophecy One winter evening in 1967 I was sitting by the fire, with nothing to do except use each little spark as a crystal ball. I began gazing into them, and in each one I saw one of my classmates of good ole ' 57. First, I saw Lawson Barber, gaining popularity as another Max Wiseman and a star of The Grand Ole Opry. I found Camilla Gilliland still dreaming of a new home, but I saw no little Gillilands. Next was Kenneth Beasley, owner of a dairy farm, and busy milking thirteen cows. Barbara Crissman now appears a farmer ' s wife, who is longing for a new pushbutton Plymouth. Jimmy Pilkington followed. He was still trying to find a Ford that would out run his ' 48 Chevrolet. Next, I saw Jerry Campbell who has become a very prosperous farmer. He ' s discovered string beans that don ' t have strings. Shelby Bright came next. She was still wondering whether or not she should take that job in New Jersey. Ronald Causey then came into view dressed in campus casuals. He is still trying to get through college exams and become a basketball coach. William Elkins was seen trying to move in with the girl next door. Why, there was Nancy Oldham still working in Mack ' s 5-10-25c store. Next was Johnny Gaines, married, father of three children and proud owner of the Lincoln and Mercury Company. Frances Seagroves and her husband skate into view next. They are the owners of the new skating rink in Goldston. Next I saw Dorothy Webster trying to decide which one among her soldier friends she wants to marry. Next in line was Fisher Hamer, a very busy man working in Charlotte so he can support his wife and two kids. Virginia Caudle appeared, bent over a desk, still striving for that college degree so she can be an English teacher. Wonder if she ' ll come back to Gold¬ ston High? Why! There was Larry Phillips, the brain of the senior class of ' 57. He ' s now the principal of the new consolidated school of Goldston. Next I saw Jane Tysor as a wonderful little housewife and the mother of a set of twins and a set of triplets, living on Red Hill. Bill Wicker zoomed into sight. He is now a stock car racer at the Indian- napolis race track in Indiana. Celia Herron jumped into view. She is now a great athlete in college, hoping to win the championship basketball trophy before long. I saw next Wayne Phillips, now living on the farm, practicing what he learned in agriculture under C. O. Williford. Wait! There was a spark that was not too clear. Why, it was Rosa Caviness trying to get her husband to help with the dirty dishes. And then I saw Faydene Wilkie living in California, working in an office as a private secretary. What a bright crystal ball that next one was. Of course it was Virginia Willette, married twice, divorced twice, searching for another victim. Verneita Gains w as seen in the next crystal, now married and owner of the beautiful home about which she talked so much. Max Gaines I saw in the distance. He has a job where his working hours starts when he gets there, because he is never able to get there on time. At last I saw myself, Joyce Gains, still working to get that new Ford I ' ve been wanting for so long. Prophetess Joyce Gaines
