CLASS PROPHECY One night as I sat gazing at the sky I began to wonder what the class of '59 would be doing ten years hence. The stars began to twinkle and glow! I concentrated really hard and it seemed as if the stars began to reveal something. The first group of stars to appear reveals, some familiar faces to me. One is Clytis Matthews, a registered nurse who is busy at work, in a laboratory, making molded bread in a dark closet, and legitimately breaking eggs for polio culture. The next star that I see holds an important building which shows the governor and his private secretary, Edna Myrick. How does she do it? Secretary and housewife! A large star shines brightly in the sky. It has to be a big one because it holds a supermarket owned by Jimmie Woodruff, who is kept busy dashing up and down highway 4301 checking cash regis- ters and depositing money in the bank. Gosh, there's a group of stars--no not a group of stars but a group of all stars , and I see that Alice Williams has taken Mrs. Saunders' place as coach. Give the girls a workout, Alice! Whats' this--a real galaxy of Galaxies! ! They are, of course, of the very latest design done by the famous Ruth Marks Temple who is also the vice-president of the Ford Foundation of America. Now we see three starry-eyed 59-ers beaming with happiness. Ben 0wen's face appears as owner of a very successful plantation. As I see it, he is still very much interested in Barnes, Another star reveals the face of Bertie Ricketts, but it is not by itself. Instead, there are William, little Billy, and his twin sister. Bertie seemsto be very happy as an Airman's wife though. Another happy home-loving star shows a certain boy taking advantage of the marriage law in South Carolina and now has as his happy wife, Joan McKenzie. What now! Shooting stars ? No, not exactly. I should have realized that those were the lights on the large TWA jet plane with none otherthan BillyWillis and Wayne Poarch at the controls. My, but what an improvement over those Piper Cubs! The new J arratt landing strip is so convenient, too. Who could the distinguished passenger be! What do you know ? Minnie Sue Mozingo, who is now the Commander of Atomic Power for the Navy. Gosh, time to go inside! But, wasn't it fun to see the class of '59 prophesied ? I wonder, how much truth there is in this prophecy ? I2
