PROPHECY Hazel Green General Hospital Hazel Green, Alabama, May 15, 1952 Dear Hellen: Here it is the eve of the tenth anniversary of our graduation from high school. It's too bad that you, our class editor, cannot be present at our reunion. I suppose it is pretty inconvenient to travel all the way from Honeymoon Island to attend. Most of the class will be there, but of course there will be a few who can't be present. For instance, Floyd McCollum, he is Mayor of New York and can't leave his office, and there's Lila Jean Cole, superintendent of Vanderbilt Hospital and can't leave her duties. Gloria Horne was chosen Glamor Girl of 1953 but I don't suppose that is a surprise. Jean Fisk is making good as a bookkeeper at the live stock yard in Huntsville. Fate does do odd things, Earl Towry is president of the University of Chicago. Another member of our class has also become educational minded, Doris Shrader, who is tutor of a French family, reads the children to sleep every night with Peter Rabbit. I know you would expect Louise McCollum to be living in Hendersonville, Tenn., but she surprised us all and is teaching school at Meridianville. In every class, however, there are those who insist an getting bitten by that well known bug called love. Such was the fate of Harold Brock. Poor Harold! He came home the other night and he had no sooner gotten in the house than Zarah Towry used the well known rolling pin on him. Then there is the case of Albert Law, who is now Mr. Lillian Wheeler. But another kind of bug bit Ren Rush Shamblin, the movie bug. A movie scout came to Huntsville and rec- ognized her beauty at once. She is now Clark Gable's leading lady. Elbert Owen followed an army career. His friends now know him as General Nuisance of the United States Army. Robbie Whitt is in Reno obtaining her fourth divorce, this time fnom Melvin Stewart. Charles Towry lived up to our expectations: he is one of America's most famous lawyers. Do you ever hear Richard Graham's program on Monday night? He is known as the golden voice of radio and Geneva McElyea is his 12.
