SENIOR CLASS PROPHESY Robed and capped in white, we, the seniors of 1959, stand for the last time as students inthe Hemingway High School GymnasiumfThesethirty-four yotmg people with solemn faces and tear filled eyes, have been my classmates for so many happydays. I cannot help but wonder if they will find in lifethe happiness and success they deserve. What will the future hold for them - dreams fulfilled, successful careers, disappointments, honors, heartaches. Where will they be and what will they be doing ten years from this eventful day. How good Peggy Pope and Carole Lee look in their white robes - wait aminute! Those aren't robes, they're nur- ses uniforms. With their sweet and patient dispositions they are surely well fitted for the work. Is that Betty Newell at that peculiar looking machine? So it is, and she is explaining to Ginny Galloway, the director of the new clinic she, Betty, Carole and Peggy have built, that it is a modern X-ray machine she has invented. They are trying it out on Harry Tanner who has given himself to science for use as a human guinea pig. How strange? I recognize all these people, yet Idon't know where I am. I must explore this place and find out. This door looks as if it might lead somewhere. What a lovely city, so modern and clean. That building over there - - can it be - - why it is! - - Eaddy's Jewelry Store. And there's the owner, Larry Eaddy, climbing into that long black limousine. He is barking orders to his neat young secretary, Katie Collins. This building looks very modernistic. There is a sign saying Lemont Rogers, Architect . Do- you suppose Lemont could design something like this. I think I'll go inside and look around. My goodness, everyone is in such a rush. Wonder what all the excitement is about. It looks like a fashion studio. That important looking woman must be the head designer. Why it's Dena Cribb, and those artists she is talking to are Faye Hart and Jean Cox. Dena is telling them to design some special fash- ions for Miss America. That beautiful woman in the middle of that group of re- porters must be Miss America. Why it's none other than Sylvia Eaddy. Her escort is Jimmy Wilder, all dressed up in uniform with four bright stars on his shoulder. They must have come to see the Mademoiselle Cribb Fashion Show featuring the famous New York models Audrey Perry and Nancy Altman. This high society world is certainly exciting but I want to find out more about these people so I'll slip out the way I came. There's some kind of demonstration going on down the street. It's Cynthia Haselden, the world's fast- est typist, demonstrating her speed on the new Haselden Electric Typewriterto agroup of housewives. That lady surroundedbythe eight children looks like Patricia Cox, and there's Linda Haselden with her baby triplets. 68 That huge neon sign reads Charlie Jowers' School of Dance. His dreams have come true also, but he is pul- ling his hair out because he can't teach two farmers, Harry Huggins and Jimmy Prosser, how to cha-cha. Shucks , says Jimmy, mypure-bred Hereford bull can dance that good. Jimmy and Harry are joint owners of the biggest cattle ranch in Texas and are only in town to see the World Series. An old buddy of theirs, Albert Woodberry, pitched the winning game. I'm tired from all this walking so I'll go into this res- taurant and get something to drink. The sign reads Ethel Morris, Delicatessen , and inside I spot Betty Lou and Myrtle Lee,the famous Johnson sisters of the entertain- ment world. They are getting some low-calorie food to protect their glamourous figures. Their publicity agent, Mary Douglas, is makingthem return a box of doughnuts which they tried to smuggle out. Ipick up a newspaper while I drink my coke and on the front page I see the announcement of the new Postmaster- General, Edward Haselden. Beside that a.nnouncement is the picture of the first man to set foot on the moon and live, Tommy Snowden. I must say that he looks none the worse for his dangerous trip. Inoticed abus just outside which is loaded with tourists. I think I'1l board it and see where it goes. The bus driver is Billy Hanna, who tells me that he ovms the bus and conducts sight-seeing tours every day. Among the pas- sangers are Rudolph Barnhill and his physics class - it seems that he took Mr. Brown's place after Mr. Brown's appointment as ambassador to Siberia. And, there is Victor Lawrimore who must be taking his family on a holiday. The bus tours the city and finally stops at Broum's Ferry for abig water show. The main attraction is Dorothy Brewer, National Woman's Water Skiing Champion, and her five water-skiing children. When Iget backtothe city, there is ahuge crowd of peo- ple waiting for me. It seems that I have just been elected as the first woman President of the United States. What an ovation. They are calling my name - Gwen Oliver - Gwen Oliver - Oops! My dream bubble has burst, and I am back in the Hemingway High School gymnasium. Mr. Creel is calling my name and I must rise to receive my diploma. As I return to my seat, I glance over the ranks of my fellow graduates. Inafew minutes we will leave this auditorium and thus be launched into our futures. Only time will tell at what ports we will drop anchor, or where we will drift on the currents of life. Gwendolyn Oliver
