Class Prophecy It ' s a v arm spring day in 1960, and Buck Privates R. G. Walser and H. H. Cunningham have just received their honorable discharges from the United States Army. With the $200 that they have saved jointly during their past 18 years ' service in the army, they start on a lorig- dreamed-of trip to New York City. While making a tour of Radio City, the former GHS pedagogues happen upon James Mayo and Heber Adams, chief research engineers of NBC, who, with the aid of Otha Barnhill, have just completed a new Space-o-vis ion machine. They invite their former teachers into the laboratory for a demonstration of their invention. The Space-o- vision machine enables a person to look in upon any other person anywhere in the world and see what he is doing. They decide to find out what their classmates of the class of ' 42 are doing at present. First, they find Billy Hill at the Duke Power com- pany offices down in Durham, N. C. Hill is superinten- dent of that organization. He is in conference with one of his electricians, H. R. Goodall. Leaving the power plant, they run into Patrolman Troy Riddle as he is arresting Sarah Jones for speeding. Sarah ' s companions, who are notoriously wreckless drivers also, are Virginia Kidd, Bernice Moore and Mrs. William Tripp, the former Marie Lum. Next they drop in on William Dail and his wife, the former Evelyn Scheller, who are a happily-married couple living in an old Boston mansion. Dail operates a string of bowling alleys (from which he made his fortune) in Boston. In one of William ' s bowling alleys they see Jack Edwards, editor of the Christian Science Monitor, getting his daily dozen. Just as they start to leave, in walk Joe Tyson and William Vincent of the famous Tyson-Vincent ten-cent stores. Incidentally, their general manager is Mary Eliza- beth Mills. Deciding to look in at one of the stores, they see innumerable stenographers in the offices. Among them are Ha Lynn Allen, Lucille Teel and Rachel Spain. The girls are confiding their dearest secrets to Nick Marsh- all, who works downstairs in the store ' s soda fountain. The gazers in the Space-o-vision machine turn their attention to California, where they find Richard Duncan as president of Douglas Aircraft corporation. Others working in the Douglas plant are Carl Corey, mechanic; Morris Abeyounis, test pilot; and Frank Rankin and Henry Peters, office boys. While the machine is focused on California they take a peek at Hollywood. And believe it or not they find Jean Harrington, Rachel Fleming, Frances Glass and Janet Gowen posing as photographers ' models in the capital city of the moving picture industry. Rachel is try- ing to save enough money for a trip to Durham, N. C., to see her old sweetie, H. R. (they aren ' t hitched yet!). Poor old Ralph Hunter is still trying to find a gal that will marry him, but, because of his great rep for being fickle in love, he remains unsuccessful. Jumping over to Texas, they find Dudes John Spear- man, James and Leonard Briley operating a dude ranch. While roving through the Lone Star State they see John Saieed, who is head football coach at Texas A M. Breezing on across the country, they stop in New Orleans to scout around for other members of the best class that ever graduated from GHS. The first person they see is Bill Turner, who has just come ashore from the submarine on which he is head grease monkey. Dennis Bailey is operating a beanery on the waterfront, while Clinton Joyner runs a small theatre near the Bailej establishment. Bill Carr is president of the now famous Carr-Penney chain stores of the South. Thomas Harring- ton succeeds in earning a living by giving public exhibi- tions of his skill as a billiards player. With a hop, a skip and a jump the gazers in the Space-o-vision machine find themselves in Clearwater, Fla. Here they are attracted by a large sign on a build- ing, Williams and Garrett, Certified Public Accountants. The firm is composed of Tom Williams and George Garrett, formerly of Greenville. Queenie McGowan and Bernice Mobley are managing a resort hotel at Clear- water Beach. Among their oldest patrons are Rosalie Taylor, Ann Skinner, Leah Mildred Ross and Audrey Allen, all of whom are northern aristocrats. In nearby Tampa they learn that Percy Wells is sports editor of the Tampa Star, a newspaper which employs the services of Printer James C. Briley and Photographer Paul Brooks also. At Miami they find that the Hon. Leon Smith is mayor, and that he assumes all responsibilities of a judge and spectator at every beauty contest. He takes this position because of his great interest in the fairer sex. Marjie Dean Allen and John Ray Hardy, secretary and office boy to the executive, are accompanying the mayor on a visit to the State Prison to see Dail Laugh- inghouse, Thad Nobles, William Craft and Leroy Cherry, all of whom are in the klink on a charge of wife desertion. Layton Clark, also an inmate of this institution, has taken over the duties of the janitor and is working night and day with the hope of winning a parole. Next the machine is focused on Emporia, Va., famou. ' for its quick hitching exercises. At the time Rev. Cecil Crawford is preparing for a mass marrying of the follow- ing couples: Margaret Jones and Eugene Jones, Wesley Johnston and Christine Manning, and Gene Johnson and Hazel Fornes. Musician Billy Horne is playing sweet moosic on his flute to ease the pain. After the ceremony the newly-weds are entertained by Gertie May and Myra Horton at Sots ' Delight Bar. Margaret Johnston is op- erator of this up-and-coming establishment. Those who were able staggered out at dawn to ride home with the milkmen, G. A. Taylor and Johnnie Speight. Jumping to Philadelphia, they drop in on John Horne, of Horne-Tyler department stores. GHS graduates who are in the employe of Horne-Tyler company are Doris Broadhurst of the floral department; Marvin Turner, floor-walker; and Jean Murphy, men ' s wear. Incidentally, James Register, after attempting for eighteen years to get the job of dog-catcher in Philadelphia, has obtained that position. Congratulations, James! Turning to Jersey City, N. J., they find that Sarah Moore, Alice Rieman and Jane Rogers are members of the lady police force in that city. Troy Rouse runs a small backstreet printery here, in which he prints counterfeit money. Among his best patrons are the members of the police force who frequently run short on real cash. Upon returning to New York City, the Space-o-vision gazers run into the rest of their old classmates. James Worsley, world renowned criminal lawyer, is engaged in the intricacies of defending Jane Tucker and Doris Tyn- dall against a charge of manslaughter. Worsley guaran- tees that, by fair mains or foul, he can get them out of the scrape with nothing worse than a death sentence. Steno- graphers Geraldine Stokes and Helen Sparrow have the job of taking notes while sitting on the judge ' s knees. Elizabeth Bridgers, Margaret Mills and Martha Rowe are rising stars of the Metropolitan Opera. They are accompanied at the piano by Pauline Bell and Mar- garet Savage. In the realm of music they find that Dorothy Davenport is vocalist for Glenn Miller ' s orchestra. Juanita Brickhouse and Kathleen Whichard are ballet dancers at the Stork club. A pawn shop, which contains many of the valuables of GHS graduates, is operated by Anne Mae Cannon and Elizabeth Williams on Broadway. Mary Elizabeth Austin is assistant dish-washer in Toffenetti ' s restaurant. It seems that Elizabeth Winberry is still succeeding in evading the cops, who have been looking for her for the past eighteen years in an effor ' . to rid the country of its public enemy no. 1. Frances Wil- liams is often seen selling peanuts and popcorn on Fifth Avenue, while Faye Walters slings hash at the Waldorf- Astoria hotel. Edna Earle Whichard models clothes at Saks, Fifth Avenue.

H. S. Prevaricator We the writers of this feature do solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help us. Since dancing lessons have been offer- ed to the students of GHS, Instructor J. H. Rose is frequently seen leading- a Conga line down the halls, urging each student to make as much noise as possible. At the close of the lessons, everyone is invited in- to the library, where they are served de- licious refreshments by Mrs. Herring. Clinton Joyner and William Craft have recently returned from their annual visit to New York City where they have spent several weeks attending the operas. Their reports were very favorable con- cei-ning the young singer, Mile. Dorothy Davenport, who is making her debut this season in Faust. Dennis Bailey, Mile. Davenport ' s manager, predicts a brilliant future for the young star. Mr. Bailey states that she will begin a tour of the southern states very soon, ending in her home town, where a concert will be given in the newly constructed GHS auditorium. Leon ( Blimp ) Smith, Esq., has been making the headlines lately. He has inven- ted a new type of bomber which is made entirely of cellophane. Jean Murphy was honored by being allowed to accompany Pilot Smith on his trial flight. At the suggestion of the school board, new desks have been installed, each hav- ing a cosmetics compartment, ash tray, cigarette lighter and a sufficient supply of cigarettes and cigars. For the conven- ience of George Garrett and Bill Hill cuspidors are placed in each room. It was also suggested that cushioned chairs with adjustable backs and head rests be install- ed. Due to ' the war these will be purchased at a later date. Miss Swann ' s and Miss Strawn ' s home economics classes are making plans to supervise a cocktail lounge at the end of each hall. These lounges will be construct- ed in order that the students might be re- freshed after each class. It has been rumored that James Worsley has become interested in the frankfurter business. The reports are that he can be found daily delivering his famous orations on hot dogs to the crowds attend- ing the Ringling Bros., Barnum and Bailey Circus. As students have been complaining of the crowdedness of the elevators in the school, the school board has announced that escalators will soon be installed. James Briley is already compiling- words to go into a dictionary of GHS say- ings which he plans to have published soon after his graduation. Four pages of this book will be devoted to the definition of the word stink so frequently used by Mr. Mulholland. Mr. Walser has been urging everyone to skip school as much as possible. Those absent from English classes are allowed ten extra points. Mr. Walser says that more than ten students in class cause en- tirely too much confusion.
