CLASS PROPHECY Ten years have elapsed since the class of ’38 graduated. I, formerly Irene Lawerence, a ’38 graduate of H.R.M.S., having married a wealthy man, decided to tour the United States by air on my honeymoon. After securing an airplane and pilot, we made preparations to start on our journey. When we reached the airport, imagine my suprise when I saw that James Grady, then head pilot of the airport in Critz, Virginia, was to pilot our plane. We left Critz June 15, 1948, and flew to Durham, N. C. There an accident oocured and my husband was slightly injured. Oh, what a terrible disaster to befall a couple on their honejimoon!

When I reached the beauty parlor and opened the door 1 came face to face with ' my old school mate, Pauline Nolen, then owner and manager of the best beauty parlor in Nashville. Before we left Nashville, my pilot and I went to get a mech¬ anic to look over the plane as we wanted no more accidents. The pilot said that he had heard of a man in Nashville who was good at mechanical work. We went to the man’s otlice and I was astonished to see Otis Craddock, a graduate of ’38. He had taken training in mechanical work, and was at this time con¬ sidered one of the best airplane mechanics in the south.
