Prophecy The Honorable Jerry Pike Governor of North Carolina Raleigh, North Carolina Dear Jerry: Since you, the Governor of the State of North Caro- lina, have found that you could postpone those urgent matters of state long enough to join us and be our mas- ter of ceremonies at our class of ’58 reunion, I’m sure you would like to have all the information about your friends and former classmates possible. You remember, of course, that Carol Boger, now your efficient and reliable secretary, was a member of our class. I believe her name has been changed, though, hasn’t it? Faye Truelove and Lynda Webster started their careers as housewives early and now have teenage youngsters. No one can say they don’t have successful marriages. James Brooks is doing quite well for himself on his turkey farm. Jake Scotton manages his fleet of trucks and does some driving himself. If you have time for reading the newspapers, you will know that one of the nation’s leading chemists and scientists today is Bill Brookbank. He has just proved his last theory—“The Egg Came First.” Linda and Sue Rogers are happily married today and are the co-owners of the Rogers Model Agency. Their designer is the famed Parisian Fashion expert, Billy Joe Frazier. Ray Durham is now the basketball coach and physical education director at the Happy Valley Girls’ School. He is usually heard saying, “All right, men, let’s go . er... 1 mean girls.” Sylvia Bridges, you remember, was our class’s home- coming representative; she is presently running for the title of Miss Pineapple, and in her spare time is teach- ing her own little pineapples her beauty techniques. Billy Brady is the owner of and a doctor at the Brady Clinic at Coleridge. He has made several discoveries on how to slow down the pulse and heart beat of those in love. Barber Teague is his head nurse. I was delighted to hear that the former test drivers, Don Smith and Billy Joe Dowd, are now employed by you as chauffeurs. Carolyn Andrew is a judo expert and is working as a defective, I mean detective, for the F.B.I. If you ever need the services of a farm expert, call on Kenny Clark. I hear he is an expert on all phases of farming, especially corn-shucking. James Sears has just replaced Elvis Presley and has a show of his own. He is becoming quite popular with the younger set. Dillard Phillips now owns the local theater; he knows all about it from the popcorn machine up to the projec- tion room! Gaynelle Scotten is a composer and pianist. Her lat- Siler City, North Carolina May 31, 1980 est concert at Carnegie Hall really brought the house down! Our Class produced, also, a lady stock-car driver. Helen Stone is now second only to Curtis Turner. Edwin Willett and Bobby Lynn White are the co-own- ers of a chain of drug stores. They were competitors at first, then merged after considering the old saying, “If you can’t lick ’em, join ’em!” Karen Seals is their cos- metologist and make-up expert. Nelson Whitt, the local “cat,” is now Arthur Murray’s chief competitor. He has just opened a new dancing school called, “Let’s Bop!” Tinkie Resch is the superintendent of a reform school, and Janie Mac Yow is one of her teachers. Poor Jerry Webster has the rough end of the job. He is known as the teachers’ paddling machine!!! Once a busy artist, Peggy Lowe has settled down to her duties as a housewife and mother of all the little Lowes. Our class gave unto the field of sports a major league baseball player, Earl Hart, and an All-American football star, Roy Stout. Of course, they have plenty of time for their happy married lives. Writing the accounts of the games is the nationally known syndicated sports colum- nist, Jimmy Hamer. Several of our former classmates are owners of their own companies today. Jimmy Rush is the proprietor of the Red-On-The-Head Wig Manufacturers. Maxie Lee Corder is his private secretary and also models their products for prospective customers. The owner of Beane’s Beanery is none other than our own Donald Beane. I hear he has the best baked beans this side of Ramseur! Betty Jean Clark and Betty Fields are his waitresses and Jimmy Brooks is one of his curb boys. Donald Hammer, voted the town’s most eligible bach- elor, has written a new novel (?) entitled THE LAFFA’ BIT JOKE BOOK. You have, no doubt, ridden on a TWA airliner, so you know that Marie Thompson is a top-flight hostess on one of their largest planes. Right beside Robert Dorsett’s service station is Ray Camp’s used car lot. Eddie Clapp serves as a mechanic for both businesses. Together, they really do the busi- ness. Eddie fixes ’em; Ray sells ’em; and R. D. fills em up! Hal Culberson, former naval officer, is the recent in- ventor of the “land or sea” Ford for °80. They tell me it’s quite a car, (or should I say boat? ? gs) Ormand Buckner is another business man; he has a chain of ultra-modern supermarkets. His right hand is
