Class Prophecy C rom the top of the Diehl building of two hundred stories, named after the famous de- signer, Dorothy Diehl, I entered my space car that was to take me to the planet, Venus. The cause of my visit to Venus was that I had received an invitation to the gala banquet of Queen Mabbott, in honor of the well known scientists, Dr. Donald Findley, Dr. John D .Williams and Dr. Hamish Pollock. The person at the control board of my space car was none other than Cecil Burtner, the speed demon, so I knew r right then and there we would not be long reaching Venus. To my sur¬ prise whom should I see but Mary Vaughan, Susan Richardson. Monk Jones and Robert Howe, celebrated authors who had immortalized the ideal marriage of Margaret Bishop and Vernon Spratley. A group of reporters from the earth to get the data on the banquet were huddled in one corner. I had to look twice to see if I really saw what I thought I saw. It couldn’t be that Margaret Smith, and Margaret Lee were the reporters, but so they were. Finally, the car plunged toward the planet. The whole group with their flying belts flew to the Hotel Gsell. On entering the hotel, I saw an endless line of desks. Rapidly sizing up the clerks, I recognized among them Beatrice Owens, Rosa Lee Moore, Audrey Saunders, Myrtle Blanks, Ruth Woolridge, Irene Crajgs, Lorene Yates, Helen Powell, Rowena Rollins, Estelle Miller, and Lucille Morris. I stayed just long enough to take a shower and rushed out of the hotel. I walked down the street and saw a shop owned by Ruth Born, displaying the creations of Irving Goldstein. On I walked and bumped into Anne Cooper, editor-in-chief of the “Venustacean”. Realizing that time was flying, I rushed back to the hotel. I picked up my teleradio scope and saw that the guests had arrived so I called for a space car, operated by Jimmie Dynes and reached the palace just in time. Standing on each side of the entrance to the ball room were Paul Weber, official bouncer, and Albert Mittelmaier, assistant. I also saw, entering the room arm in arm Paul Mingee and wife, formerly Miss Joyce Anderson, Russell Fox and wife, former¬ ly Miss Thelma Todd and Violet Schott and fiance Victor Shank. The rythmic strains of an orchestra reached my ears, 1 turned to see who was the leader and to my astonishment it was Samuel Ruff. In the orchestra were: John Bader, Elizabeth Whitehead, David Hardsaw, Dorothy Christy, Tommy Williams, Virginia Smith, Hubert Gray and George Reuter. A hush came over the guests as a chorus approached, composed of Joe Bryant, Stanton Rush, Polly Willis, and Clementine Rhodes featuring the Satan Dance made famous by George Chisman. Before the second feature, I glanced around and saw the well known actressess from the Venus de Milo Theatre: Margaret House, Suzanne Doane, Ruth Black, Janice Curtis, Marshall Cloke, W. A. Griffith, and last but not least Victor Tyler. The leading man and lady at the Venus de Milo for the week were seated at my right, Nancy Garrett and Willard Hudgins. Then Queen Mab¬ bott entered the royal ball room with her attendents, Elizabeth Stevens, C. Hinson. K. Armistead, M. Baldwin, Betty Brown and Helen Balmer while the anthem of Venus, “All of Me” was sung by Marrionetta Penny, K. Richardson, Alice Robertson. Harry Ferber, Emmett Bender, Harry Bloxom, Eleanor Campbell and Billy Catlett. After the Queen had seated herself upon the throne, the court jesters appeared: Dan Cunningham, George Dolby, Billy Ellis, Elizabeth Oakley, Jesse Lewis, Martha Moreland, Maudie Pruett and Rethea Shell. Then the late comers or the men about town arrived, George Fosque, Billy Guy, Dick Lee, Phil Fraser, Jack Frost, and E. L. Holtzclaw. Among the late comers were a few girls who were delayed a little too long on earth, bidding farewell to their boy friends. The girls were: Frances Shumate, Bernice Hutton, Betty Blood, Gertrude Maloney, Stella Foster, Marion Fergusson, Peggy Lundell, Jessie Crockett, Emily Desper, Nancy Rowell, and Anne Powell. The social leaders of the day, seated at the left of the Queen w r ere Rhea Cooper, M. Dressier, lima Dixon, B. Harding, E. Patterson and Doris Wood. After seeing old friends again. I slipped cautiously out into the darkness of Venus to think over school memories of HAMPTON HIGH. Oneta Shackelford
