Prophecy of the Senior Class of 1935 I woke with a start, dressed in a rush, hurried to the office, and then re¬ membered—today was the celebration of the firm’s silver anniversary and the boss had declared a holiday for all of the firm. I started out, when all at once a vaguely familiar figure passed. Was it, it was Mr. Thorpe! Could it possibly be ten years since I left Hampton High School? I stopped at a nice looking restaurant for breakfast and was treated to another shock. There stood Gloria Rose with a waitress’ apron. Questions poured from my lips. She laughed and then explained that the restaurant was owned by Raymond Brittingham, and that some of the other waitresses were Jacque Mingee, Ozelle Turner, Alice Wallace, and Daisy Ellis. I leisurely finished my breakfast, started to pay for the meal, and found myself staring at Grace Tennis, the cashier. I sauntered down the street anti stopped in front of a large power plant that was being erected by the firm of N. Wood and L. Wood. N. Wood turned out to be Neil, our old senior president. He was in charge of the construction work. L. Wood was Laurence, who was in charge of all the electrical work. Chris Steger, electrical foreman, had Bernard Rawlins, Bill Cole, Homer Riggins, Raymond Snow, and James Lee working hard, installing large turbine engines. Roy Price had just been fired for being late, three days in a row, without an excuse. Frank Roberts, knowing of his value, immediately engaged him as a service man in his electrical supplies store. I followed Frank to his store and found he had as his secretary, Valentine Fullman. Alma Woodward was one of the clerks and I saw George McGehee working in the stockroom. Leaving there I wandered on down the street until I came to a newspaper stand where I saw several copies of “Sportania,” edited by Alfred Hughes, and “The New Times,” edited by Loraine Guy. I became very much interested in an article written by Diantha Raymond stating that “Every Woman Should Carve A Career.” The opposite article, “Every Woman Should Hook A Husband,” was written by Mrs. A. S. Miller, formerly Ann Hardy. She is the wife of Al Miller, former All-American halfback at V. P. I. In “News from Hampton, Virginia,” I saw that Miss Amelia Lewis, in¬ structor in the Latin department, and Miss Frances Collier, instructor in the math department, are planning a tour of Canada immediately after the close of school. Suddenly I looked up and there stood Sarah Cross, the news clerk, giving me a dirty look, and seeming to ask me if I wanted to buy something or was just reading everything in the store without a library card. As I walked out of the store reading an articl e “How To Put On Weight,” by Elizabeth Herman, I bumped into Selma West and Marguerite Darden, the town’s two most popular dress models who refuse to be tied down by a husband. 1 asked them where they were going and they said they were hurrying to get some groceries before the A. P. closed. Having nothing else to do, 1 went with them to see if I could be of any assistance. I went in the store and found that Joe Peake was the store manager and Billy Robinson was manager of the meat department. While in there, I beard a terrible noise and looking around, I saw Airs. Albert Joynes, formerly Elizabeth Clark, and Mrs. Ernest Houston, formerly Eleanor Lewis, arguing over who first saw the extra firm bead of cabbage they both wanted to buy.
