SENl0R CLASS PROPHECY During my vacation period, I was just sitting around the house with no place to go and nothing to do. Then all of a sudden, Ihad a bright ideal Idecided to return to my old home- town and look up all of my classmates. Of course I had been receiving mail from all my friends, but to see them would tell a different story. So, on a bright and stmny day in the year 1967, I left the city, driving my 1967 gold and blue Pontiac. As I was nearing my hometown one of my tires appeared to be losing a little air I was wondering how far I was from a garage, when I saw a sign that said, 5 mile to your left, is the FIX IT WHEN YOU COME GARAGE, Partnership of Dodd and Johnson in my class of 5'7. When I pulled up at the garage, to my amazement, it was Thaddus Dodd and Henry J ohnson. These fellows really had their work in hand. In two minutes flat, they had checked everything on my car, whew! What service! They didn't charge me one penny, plus they gave me three gallons of gas to celebrate our reunion. I thanked them and went on my way after learning that there was a dance scheduled for two nights later and that Iwould see them there. When I drove into town I couldn't help but remark to myself at the many changes that had been made. Even at that instant there was a new building being constructed and later to my suprise, I learned that none other than Horace Smith and Carl Loften who are brickmasons, and William Penny, with Elmo Archibald who are carpenters were on the job. What friends and class- mates Ihavel By this time, I was practically starving and suffering with a minor headache, so Idecided to stop at a Pharmacy to get a soda and a box of aspirins. I walked right in without noticing the name of the Pharmacy, and was completely amazed, for there looking at me from across the counter was the pharmacist, Shelton Merritt, Shelton really had a nice setup. Icouldn't help envying him. We talked and relived memories for a couple of minutes when Yvonne Vinson who is a telephone operator came in. I guess people probably wondered what was wrong because each was trying to talk at the same time, Yvonne stated that she liked her career very much, We then departed, each promising to see the other at the dance, Ithen went to my place of refuge, there seeing some of my old neighbors and new ones also. I decided to take a short nap, but after finding that I was just too happy to go to sleep, Idecided to take a sightseeing cruise around the town, I stopped in at the local hospital and much to my surprise and also happiness, I learned that the entire staff were members of the class of 5'7. There I found the head nurse to be Rosa Watson. Others assisting her were Orelia Gulley, Claudine Moore, Dorothy Moore, Ida Murchinson, Dorothy Nichols, Alice Peacock, Clementine Marshall, Almeta Berry, Ruby Bryant, Patricia Chisholm, Nora Sanders, Catherine Smith, Bernice Hamilton, Gerelene Dowdy, Berelene Dowdy and Yvonne Eason. The head doctor was Thomas Bryant who was noted for a very important discovery in the field of medical science. His assistants were James Cole, Harold Sanders, Grady Langston and Thomas Whitley. The most experienced surgeons classified as the three top ones in their field were Lola McNeill, John McPhaul and George Cole. Not wanting to take up much of their valuable time Icongratulated all of them, made a quick ob- servation and then left, knowing I would see them again. I decided to visit the courthouse learning that there was an imD01'I31'1T C886 SCh6dul6d. Ide - cided to spend some time there listening to the case. My view was not very clear from where I was sitting, so I didn't recognize the lawyer who was handling the case so beautifully. Thai he turned and there stood, Roger D. Miller, the famed lawyer throughout the towns and counties. I left before the court was adjourned and before Icould congratulate Roger, but I made a quick not to remember to do so at my next opportunity. Since time was not in my favor I decided to call it a day by returning home. There Ihad dinner and decided to visit a couple of relatives, returning very early in order to rest. I awoke the next morning to a very beautiful world. It looked as though the Creator had dipped a paintbrush into many different colors and had just painted everything in sight. After
