Class Prophecy As I came leisurely up the walk one sunny afternoon in October, I unconsciously plucked a leaf from a nearby tree. Entering my classroom and my seat, I did not realize that this leaf was no ordinary one. As I sat gazing at the leaf, it began to move and I saw being unrolled before me a film in technicolor. To me was being shown the activities of the Seniors of ’46, in the year 1960. The first scene was of the huge hospital in Bassett to which many come annually. Doctors Frank Carter and Billy Young, owners of this hospital, were spending a few minutes of leisure time chatting gaily with two of the head nurses, Doris Nash and Martha Stultz. They were at that time interrupted by another nurse who announced to them the arrival of an emergency. It was, much to my surprise, Douglas Looney, who had just had an accident in his high speed race car, “The Dare Devil.” After a thorough examination, it was found that he only suffered a slight cut on his chin and a few bruises elsewhere. The motto of the hospital — “Ki ll or Cure,” never failed. The scene then changed, I saw the beautiful University of Bassett. Coming up the sidewalk, I recognized to be Esther Lee Ingram, the Home Economics teacher there. As she ascended the stairs she was met by Barbara Byrd, the music teacher. While standing there chatting, they were joined by Glenwood Hutchinson, Private Secretary to the principal, John Brammer, and by her side, as usual, was Eloise Smith, who was the secretary for the famous lawyer, Herman Byrd. Soon they were also joined by the efficient geometry instructor. Tommy Giles. Continuing to gaze at the screen, I then saw the “Dressmakers Shoppe” which was owned by Mildred Franklin and Frances Spencer. Next I saw the huge Library of Bassett which was under the supervision of Ruby Roberson. Also I saw two very cozy-looking white cottages, side by side. I discovered that they were the homes of Frances Jones and Betty Ruth Ingram, two very successful housewives. Alas! That was the end of that film but following was the news reel, “Eyes and Ears of the World.” First in the news, D. L. Kendrick, Chief Justice of the United States, was discussing the constitutionality of the recent national divorce laws. Also Magdalene Moore, head of the Good Housekeeping Institute, along with Mary Frances Joyce, owner of a beauty shoppe in Richmond, were returning to Bassett to spend their vacations. Next in the news, was the arrival of a plane from India bearing Annie Ruth Whitlock and Emily Martin, who had been there as missionaries. On the same plane I saw Ermigene Cannaday, who had become a famous Red Cross worker. Louise Richardson and Christine Horsley, Editor and Associate Editor of the New York Herald, have recently begun a new column called “How to Secure a Husband.” Just as the huge letters, E-N-D, appeared before me, I heard the familiar voice of Miss Matney saying, “ Students, the bell has rung.” After gathering my books together, I weaved my way through the crowded halls toward Bible Class.
