CLASS PROPHECY As I, Ruth Meeks, was walking through the woods one day, not thinking of anything in particular I found myself lost in the depths of a dense forest. Evening was coming on, and I knew that I must try to find my way out of the forest. As I was wandering be- neath the overhanging limbs of the trees, I spied a queer looking old woman. Ky memory of fairy tales led me to believe that she was a supernatural being. I soon learned that she was a fortune teller. In a strange way, she invited me to go inside the hut. I told her that I was expecting to graduate from Grundy County High School on May l6. I asked her to tell me what my classmates would be doing twenty years hence. The aged lady gazed into her crystal ball for some time. She looked surprised. niyl What a prominent group I see hefore me,u she said. NI see Raymond Hargis as President of the United States. his chief advisor is A.J. Layne. June Tate and Ophelia Taylor own a pigeon farm jointly. Betty Jeanne Kennedy and Charles Cunningham are new married and living happily in a beautiful home in Houston, Texas. Ulf you care to know, Bessie Eldridge is with the Bingley Brothers Show doing marvelous acts on a trapeze. L. D. Sartain is taking Frank Sinatra's place. Sue Holloway has become a 'noted pianist.n After gazing into the magic ball for a prolonged time, she said, HHarold Jones is the high sheriff of Grundy County. The ball shows plainly that Den Paris is a dentist in Chattanooga. Well, imagine this Clarence Kilgore and Dorothy Vail are ballet dancers, Franklin Rust is a dress designer for the Vogue and Carleyn Anderson is a laboratory technician. Fred White is trying to find a way to get an education without studying.n
