CLASS PROPHECY London, England September 2, 1946 Dear Margaret, I have had many delightful ex- periences this summer and my ex- periences show that it is a very small world after all. I was so tired of practicing medicine that I decided to take a trip to Europe. While I'm away my architect, Thomas James, is remodeling my office. Just before I left I ran down to Grant's and bought some tooth paste from Florence Moore. I also ran over to the High School to speak to Mr. Rose, but I left the message with Virginia Har- dee,'the new librarian. Nancy Lee Moore and Jennie Saied, coaches at the school, met me at the door and wished me Bon Voyage. You know, I bought a lovely pair of A shoes from Miller-Jones, where Pete Brewer is manager, but I shall buy most of my clothes in New York. As I drove 'on out of town I stop- ped at Brinson's filling station and then I was on my way. About thirty miles from the Virginia line, Carl Pierce, state highway patrolman, gave me a ticket. He didn't recog- nize me, though. As I reached Em- poria, Virginia, I saw Dorothy Tyson Edwards with her flock of little Jay- birds. She tolrl me that Ray Mun- ford was proprietor of the ABC store on the corner. Not interested, I hur- ried on through, stopping only to buy a newspaper, in which there appear- ed a picture of Virginia Clarke, beautiful ex-wife of Ernest Willard, prominent garbage-can manufacturer. On the back page I glimpsed a pic- ture of Frances Thigpen, advertising home grown products. After a few hours of hard driving, I reached Washington, D. C. Riding up Penns- ylvania Avenue, whom should I see but Elizabeth Everett, United States Senator. I decided to leave my car in Washington, and take a train to New York and at the news stand in the station I picked up Venetia Hearne's latest book, The Voice of Experience, to read on the train. Jean Blount, buyer for Saks-Fifth Avenue, met me at the train. ,I was HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY Back row, left to right: Reynolds May, H. A. McDougle, V. M. Mulholland, T. C.

I was still more delighted to see our old school-mate Charley Mayo, driving the taxi which we took. He informed us that William Brooks was now President of Pitt Taxi Company in New York. When We arrived at New York University, we were greeted by Elizabeth Brooks, dean of women there. She told us that a number of Greenville people were attending the University, in- cluding Mary Lou Bufner, who was working on her Ph. D. in mathema- tics. She also told us that Rachel Blanchard was coach of physical edu- cation at the University. After we returned, we dressed and sauntered out to Doris Allen's Nite Klub, where Hazel Brown and James Smith were appearing in the latest rumba. We went back-stage after the performance to speak to them. The next day, Jean and I went to see the N. Y. Yankees play the Car- dinals. L. G. Hamilton pitched a no- hit game for the Yanks and Joe Ha- 1'ern'w7as. holding first base for the Cardinals. Lou Gehrig, an 'old timer, said Joe is one of the best first base- men he has ever seen. By the way, R Harding Sugg is the very capable manager of the N. Y. Yankees. As my boat was to sail at midnight, I ran over, about eight o'clock to see Jean Hodges, who is teaching kin- dergarten in New York. Can 'you imagine whom she's teaching? None other than little Maudie Woolfolk! Margaret, do you remember our high school paper? Well, many of our former staff are working on the Times there in New York. Helen Flanagan is editor-in-chief, Jeter Oakley is city editor, George Lau- tares is Sportis editor and Frankie Johnston writes a lovelorn column. Jean tried to persuade me to stay over to hear a case, in which Louis Gaylord, now famous criminal law- yer, was prosecuting attorney. The case was Lillian Forrest versus the United States of America. I already had my tickets, so I sailed at mid- night on that queen of the seas, The Normandie. There was a beautiful bowl of flowers in my stateroom. Lon Nobles, who runs a rose farm in Florida, had sent them. My stew- ard, Jimmy Corey, brought me sev- eral of the latest magazines. When I turned the cover of Dream Ro- mances, I discovered that Agnes

Newspaper Club To Sponsor Senior Dance Paul Jones' Orchestra To Furnish Music As a climax to the yearls social ac- tivities the Newspaper Club of the high school will sponsor the annual commencement dance given in hon- or of the senior class. The dance will take place in the high school auditorium on Tuesday evening, June 2, from ten until one-thirty. Music will be furnished by Paul Jones and his popular orchestra. Two years ago the custom of hav- ing a commencement dance was ini- tiated in Greenville High, and each year the affair has been an out- standing affair. The graduating ex- ercises will take place in the Robert H. Wright Building earlier the same evening, but immediately afterwards the dance will be held in the high school. Though the dance is given in honor of the seniors, all high school stu- dents and faculty members are urged to attend. An admission charge of seventy-five cents per couple or stag will be necessary to defray the ex- penses of the dance. Alumni and friends of the school are invited to enjoy the commence- ment dance with the seniors. Parents who wish to attend the dance as spectators are urged to do so minus all charges.

May, 1936. Wyndham, Lila Rook Sumrell, and Evelyn Lewis were co-editors of this magazine. Do you remember what a marvel- ous time we used to have in Mr. Mul- holland's home room listening to James Manning Tucker? Well, James Manning and his orchestra played on board every night. Har- vey Deal is the pianist and Earl Dunn croons. Harvey told me that Billy Whitehurst was on board the liner, sailing for Africa to hunt big game, but I didn't see ,him-during the entire trip. By the way, your own dear cousin, Geraldine Harris, appeared in a drama one nights on board, but she was so tired after the performance that we couldn't see her. When we arrived at Le Havre, it was cool and damp and I took a plane for Paris. It didn't surprise me to see Louis Wil- kerson piloting the huge ship, nor was I surprised to see Marian Tyson as air stewardess. Ethel Gaston was supposed to meet me in Paris, but she wired me that she had tripped down to her villa on the Riviera to meet her one and only, who had returnfdirfrom China. Ethel is an artist and has made quite a name for herself. I went straight to my hotel and found that Jeanne Jones, glorified chorus girl, had spent the preceding week there with Miss Mial. When I reached my suite I dropped on the bed, turned the radio on, and just as I was dozing offl heard Elizabeth Wilson in one of her famous dramatic impersonations. When I awoke -from a sound sleep I found a note from Hill Horne ask- ing me to be his guest at the opera. Hill, you know, is doing research work at the Sorbonne. The opera was Carmen and Dorothy Hollar took the lead. After the opera we went to a sidewalk cafe lowned by Ralph Tuckery and had a mid- night snack . He told us that Dora Gorman was being starred in The Follies Bergeref' On the way back to the hotel we met Harry Rountree, millionaire play boy. Harry told us that he had hired Ada Kelly Smith's orchestra for a reception. After say- ing good night to Hill I went up to my suite and as I inserted the key , GREEN LIGHTS in the lock a very handsome young man dashed around the corner and winked boldly at me. I inquired of a passing bell hop as to his identity, and he was quite shocked to learn that I didn't know Bill Clark, gay young Lochinvar of gay Pareef' About the same time I heard an awful noise in the above hall, and taking an elevator to discover its ori- gin, I found Morris Bland, assistant to Charles Atlas, inviting a bill col- lector out. The chambermaid sent word to me that my bed was ready, and when I reached my room I found a beauti- ful bouquet from Dorothy Dunn, mannequin at Roberta's in Paris. Mary R. May is the owner of this ex- clusive shop. The next morning as I prepared to check out I noticed the names of Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Humbles, Cyou re- member her as Estelle Baldreej, on the register. I tried to get down to Vienna, where a festival was being held, but time didn't allow such. I knew that Marian Carroll was telling fortunes down there and Bernice Ellers ap- pearing in boxing matches, but I was slightly surprised to hear that J. Roy Barker and Gilbert Peele were in the photography business down there. Phoebe N isbet had been chosen queen of the festival. I hurried on to Switzerland, stop- ping once at a small wayside inn operated by Helen Hyman and Annie Joyner, formerly Olympic stars. George Clark is chief of police in Geneva and I had the pleasure of dining with him and his wife and their five children. From George I learned that James Joyner runs a dairy in Geneva. I CONGRATULATIONS The Ladies Store WILLIAMS' I Page N ine I circlediaround by Germany and discovered, very, very much to my surprise Rachel Broadhurst working in a factory where they can weiners. You told? me about Edith Field's expression class out there in Cali- fornia, but why didn't you tell me of the success of Edna Moore as Zazu Pitts' understudy, and the success of Edith Forrest? Give Quinn and all the quintup- lets my regards and write me soon. Cheerio, A Frances Spilman, M. D.
