Pa9e18 THE HURRICANE P Ii CLASSCPROPHECY One sunny afternoon, as I was walking down Broadway, a funny old man stopped me and asked me to try' out his new inven- tion. Being very curious, I wasn't one to turn down such an offer. This invention was something like a microscope and I de- cided to focus it on the graduating class of 1947. I first turned it toward the West and what is that? Why! It is a farm and who lives here? None other than Bill Bates and Ilene Dent, now Mr. and Mrs. They are now en- gaged in a most interesting occupation, Raising Colts . A hospital appears and I see the world's most famous Dr. Bernard White and his very efficient nurse, Marion Sullivan. Wheel That was a close shave. Who can afford a car like that? She zooms up and stops in front of a newstand owned by Chuck Erskine. It is Louise Coyner. Hollywood appears and I see Mary Lee Davis rehearsing her new movie, The Dreamer , with R.K.O. Lessie Lawson, Ann Allen, and Doris Jean Miller are chorus girls in this movie. And now in a country school I see Ger- maine Johnson, her specks properly adjust- ed on her nose and a paddle in her hand, giving the children their morning exercises. A little farther down the road I see the country store with the owner, Vincent Paul, perched an a nailkeg, swatting flies and snoozing between swats. In New York I see a sign that reads: Professional Giggling Taught to Girls . Instructor Rufus Cottle. I peek into the window of the White House and see Everett Gillispie, our newly elected President, and his secretary Marcel- lain Sullivan. . I see two ladies entering a newspaper of- fice that has a sign in the window Our Ads Bring Results . One of the ladies draw the ad they are planning to place in the paper and I see Husbands Wanted . The ladies are Ladena Rooper and Peggy Davis. A quick change of scenery brings us to Africa where Albert Martin is preaching to a crowd of starry eyed natives who are list- ening with amazement. His efficient little helper is Geraldine Bowens, who seems to be the main attraction among the males. Back in the U. S. again a neat vine-cover- ed cottage appears and I see the owners put- tering around in the garden. They' are Johnny Lake and Daphne Erwin. Johnny, Jr., is now their main interest. I am now back in the familiar town of Hurricane and hear opera music floating out of McCallister's Restaurant. I look in and see thesinger, Lenora Coulter. On Wall Street I see Dewey Miller hurry- ing along. Dewey is now a multi-mil1ion- aire. I see a school for kindergarden students and who is the teacher? Well, well if it isn't Wilma Hodges. I see Imogene Hodges in a radio studio announcing the station. Gerry Tyler and his 3-piece symphony band have just come off the air. A little farther to the north is and airport owned by Stanley' Hodges. I see him, his wif-e, the former Emma Bindemann, and the three little pilots standing beside the family plane. A famous old college comes into View and I see Morrison Beckett, the president with his combined wife and secretary, Edna Leadmon. Mae Rose Sowards is one of the students attending this college and she is also the speed typist of America. Scott Depot is now a very popular place in West Virginia. All this popularity is due to the Nut Cracker Theater, Inc. Private ly owned by Wanda Powers and Pauline Joyce. One of Texas' most famous animal clinics is owned and operated by Okey' Miller and Rosabell Runion. This Clinic is open to cow-bunchers bronchos only. In the Rose Bowl I see a very famous foot- ball game in progress. The star players are Charles'Lucas, Bill Beaver, and Hubert Mil- Qler. ' Chrysler's, Inc., is now ruled by the stern 'hand of Thomas Sloan. Betty Pennington is his secretary. But wait, has Betty ever 'had any secretarial training. ' I see a Ford V-8 coming down the road. It stops at a dairy owned by Chester Ersk- ine. Charles Garrett gets out but leaves his wife, the former Pauline Persinger, sitting with her foot on the brake to keep the car 'from taking up over the hill. I see Betty May Lovett sitting in her back yard with Bob, Jr., turned over her checked apron, because of a straight F report card. I see a showboat coming down the Missis- sippi River. This boat is owned and operat- ed by Jean Rooper and Maxine Carpenter, who were originally Hollywood's most fa- mous comedians, but decided to stop being so silly. Result: They are Siller. After all the pleasant views a tragic one now appears. I see Dewell Pate, a truck driber, entering a bar in North Carolina, the bar is owned and operated by Allen Boulware. Dewell is looking for a drink to settle his nerves. He has just run into Gretna Burns. Won't you ever stop knock- ing that traffic around, Gretna? I am very sorry this old man is not selling his invention but if they ever appear on the market for sale, please buy one. You will get a bargain. By Jean Rooper and Gretna Burns.
