CLASS PROPHECY After returning from a secluded and very unsuccessful rendezvous with madam X in one of our very remote and secretive places, where the surf roars angrily leaving its scars upon the sand and rushing back into the sea a Genie sprang from a topping wave and uttered this class Prophecy. Mr. Monroe Paylor seems to be on the road to success, but I can see him in the state Penn, correction 1 mean Penn State, I can see Louie Hallis Hancock and Fannie Dorie Lewis up in Mass, just taking in all the night clubs and waiting for the moon to rise. It looks like Rodgers Willis is going to tie himself down here on Harkers Island with Carol Rose. Frank Fulford would like to play basketball with some college team but I expect he will make a nice plumber. Llewellyn Willis will end up in the Navy or he will marry that little girl he has been seen with lately. Miss Elva Mae Davis could do more to further her education but she will end up living on red hill with a house full of kids. I can see Miss Clara Estell Gaskill and Kimp Styron sailing around the world and then settling down on Shell Point. I see Rose Marie Lewis and Hallis Lawrence living in New York City and having a very good time. I see Richard A. Lewis’ walking the Harkers Island roads the rest of his life and begging for what he can get to eat. I see Nova Doris Rose living in Beaufort with Glenn Smith but she would like to be on Harkers Island with all her friends.
