THE CLASS PROPHECY There was Ora Lee Ray happily married to Barney, who was an old heartthrob in the gay 40’s. Next there was Kyle Fuller in Washington, as Junior Virginia Senator. His hair was no longer red for he had grown grey because of political campaigns. Yes! Just as I had expected; Virginia Combs was in the White House and was none other than Secretary to the President. After this I found myself in the Manhattan Club in Hollywood enjoying the entertainment. Suddenly it was announced that Guy Plaster’s Orchestra would play a special for Miss Phyllis Shelton, and to my surprise Geanette Gent appeared as the vocalist for his band. To my great astonishment I discovered that I was seated in a large congregation in a Baptist Church, in North Dakota and was enjoying the sermon very much, when in my sudden amazement I found the minister to be none other than Millard Hylton. Next I saw Harold Gregory as an important director and producer of M G M Pictures in Hollywood. At this time there was a slight hindrance in my vision, caused, I guess by the irregular motion of the train, but I saw Ruthie Plaster successfully managing a reducing system at Raven for all overweight women who had gained too many extra pounds. As My dream became more enchanting I saw John Honaker teaching Agriculture in Blacksburg at V. P. I. Yes! Gaylena Phillips was enjoying that bliss which comes with success — success by the name of Mr. Loyd Perkins. Suddenly I saw Henry Rickman wearing the uniform of a state trooper and making an exceedingly high record. Gerald Griffith had reached his goal. Yes! that of Gabriel Heatter’s place as com- mentator. Ellen Miller, that’s right, was playing her successful role as housewife with Hubert Wilson as her wayward life companion. The goal had been reached. Lawrence Bostic and his best friend, Roland Miller were owners and pilots of the airplanes at Doran. Dallas Boyd and Curtis Hess bad reached the top as two Supreme Court Justices. This is what they call “it”. As my vision continued, I saw Dee Plaster in the fishing business. It seemed he was very unlucky, but as long as Billie Anne Call baited his hook he didn’t mind. Why, there was Gerelene Fuller! Only it wasn’t Fuller anymore, for she was Mrs. Douglas Martin and was an efficient housewife. Suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder and heard the Hostess saying “Get prepared, we are nearing the Southern Pacific Railway Station in Los Angeles.” As I sat up and rubbed my eyes the enchanting memories of each of my classmates faded away and alas, it had been nothing more than a dream.
