Prophecy I, with my mystic power, unfold the future to you and give a brief glimpse of the Senior Class of 1957. Ten years from today I see Janie West as editor of the Ladies Home Journal. Next we see Coleman McNeal and Don Taylor, the boys who were such good friends in high school, fighting over the job as dog-catcher. May the best Man win. Mary Wicker is living in a beautiful Old Maids Home which she built for herself and living there with her is Judy Mayer who was jilted by Louis Prather who is happily married to a girl we re- member as a Sophomore of 1957. Next I see Joann Bready Potts in a beautiful home in Texas where she has always wanted to live and of course I see Lindy and the children out amoung the oil wells they own. We see Leathie Houston living in Germany with a family of three children. I see Carol Taylor coming home from his job as truck driver meeting his wife, mother-in-law and five kids. As I passed through Starkville I found Jimmy Baker as a Science Professor at Mississippi State. We now see Ralph Taylor as a great farmer, his wife, Shirley, and nine kids out looking over the farm near Pine Grove. We next see Raymond Little as the leading star of one of Broadway's biggest hits Come Back My Lover and who is this we see in the audience; could it be Freddie Bradford who has married a great movie producer, who is head of Benny Co. Charles Gadd who has enjoyed the fame of having the biggest feet in the world now models for the biggest shoe company in the world, The James Smith Co. who we remember as a Senior of 1957 also. I now look in an office and see Judy Rhea as a smiling secretary. No wonder she smiles, her boss is Thomas. I will take a glimpse of Washington at breakfast time. Oh, so the president of the United States will be coming in soon. I think I have pretty good eyes, but surely they have deceived me; Robert Moorehead walked through the door. Who thought he would ever go from president of the Senior Class to President of the United States? Through the crystal ball we see our last Senior of 1957, Betty Hall out by the Robbins Milk Co. watching after the two sets of twins, three boys and a girl. Dimmer and Dimmer grows the ball. Its message is over, and I, too, will say to you my farewell message, Peace - Happiness - Good-bye. THE JUNIOR CLASS OF 1957
