CLASS PROPH ECY BY MARGARET LEE BoozE If is December 19, 1959, on the planet Mars. I am secretary for the Vice-President of the M. G. M. Studios. We are getting ready to blast off for the planet Earth. We are going to visit some of my old classmates while on Earth and we shall land in New York City and shall visit the Metropolitan Opera House while there. When we return to Mars, we shall make a movie about the planet Earth. As we entered the station platform from our rocketship, we were greeted by Mary Smith and her husband. We learned they were on their way to visit their parents in King, North Carolina. Mary is now teaching American History at the University of Maine. We learned from Mary that Jessie Merritt is now a successful hair designer in Boston, Massachusetts. We learned that Jessie is not married as yet, but she is planning to wed a Vice-President of the United States Steel Company in April. As we entered our car on the train, whom should we meet but Charles Westmoreland. He told us he is now pitching for the New York Yankees. He won 19 games last season and only lost one game. We also learned he is married to a famous concert singer. As we came into Pittsburgh, I saw someone I knew, but I could not recall who she was. After we left the train, I remem- bered-Edna Ncwsom. I contacted her and learned she is a basketball coach for a high school in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. She is planning to marry Bobby Gravitt when he gets out of the Army. Bobby joined the Army for four years, and he is now stationed in Fairbanks, Alaska, doing some research work for the government. He will be home in about three months. Edna informed us that Annie Belle Priddy is the wife of the Mayor of Baltimore, Maryland. Annie Belle is her husband's pri- vate secretary in Baltimore, Maryland. As we boarded our rocketship for Chicago, we saw jack Watts, who was to be our pilot. He told us he enjoyed his flying very much. He has not had an accident as yet, but he has come close many times. Jack is not married. Jack told us that our stewardess was going to be Wilma Cov- ington. As we went into the passengers' quarters, we saw Wilma. We learned she is married to the son of the American Airlines President. She enjoys her flying and has made many trips to gay Paris. NXf'hile she was in Paris, she saw Diddy Caudle who is an ex- pert in designing clothes for teen-agers. We learned that in Diddy's spare time she teaches piano. Diddy has never mar- ried, but she is very hopeful about a tall, dark, and handsome artist in France. When we arrived in Chicago, we went to a hotel for the night. There we were surprised to see Naomi Wall. Naomi is now sing- ing for a big television program of her own. Naomi told us that Grace Johnson is still living in North Carolina with her husband, who is owner of a dry cleaning busi- ness in King, North Carolina. Grace is the mother of a two year old girl, Kitty. Grace is an accountant for her husband. Tonight we are dining in a ritzy restaurant in Chicago. As we entered I saw none other than jack Booze who was enter- taining a blond. He told us that his blond was only a model for his agency. Jack is the President of a huge model agency in Cincinnati, Ohio, and is married to his childhood sweetheart. Jack told us that Billy Wilson is still living in Winston-Salem. He is secretary to the Business Manager of the Reynolds Tobacco Company and is expecting a promotion in about two weeks. After leaving the restaurant, we hailed a taxi. We were sur- prised to see Betty Jean Boyles coming down the street with a handsome man, who was her husband. He is a successful architect. Betty Jean is a private secretary to the president of Swift and Company. Betty jean told us that Audrey Browder and Martha Ann Barrow are partners in a big department store in Detroit, Michigan. They are not married as yet. As we boarded our rocketship this morning for Denver, Colo- rado, we saw Mary Ruth johnson, along with many other beauties. Mary Ruth told us she is Miss King, Miss North Carolina, and she hopes to be Miss America, after tomorrow's contest. We learned that Barbara Lawson is still living in King with her husband, who is a Vice-President of the McLean Trucking Company. She has a three year old son, Timmy. We arrived in Denver, and as we were about to leave the rocketship, someone called to us from a nearby taxi. It was none other than 'Becky Watts and her husband, Dan Nance, and their two year old girl, Jenny. Dan is now an executive in Colorado. Dan is part owner of a chain of hotels all over the United States. Becky keeps house for Dan and the children. When we arrived at our hotel, we were told someone was wait- ing to see us. They were magazine reporters and they wanted a picture for their magazine, Colliers. They were Rex Holder and Reginald Kiser. They have been reporters for five years and have been all over the world writing stories and interviewing important people. We learned from Rex that Alvin Watts and Theodore Fulk have been in Mexico two years teaching the Mexicans the Ameri- can way of farming through a recipocal agriculture program. As we entered Hollywood in a taxi, we were happy to see Doris Barr and Marvin Gentry, who were about to enter M. G. M. Studios. Doris graduated from Wingate College and is now a leading lady in a new picture. Marvin is her leading man. Marvin graduated from Harvard in 1956. He has starred in two movies. Marvin told us that William Covington is now Governor of North Carolina, but Bud has never found himself a wife to be his first lady in the governor's mansion. Doris told us that Doris Edwards and Wimp Holder have been married since 1955. Wimp has replaced Mr. Neal as bas- ketball coach at King. His team is undefeated thus far this season. Doris is housekeeping for her husband and her little son, Ricky. After taking care of the mail that had piled up during our visit, my boss told me I could have a two weeks' vacation. I boarded a rocketship for North Carolina. As I stepped off the rocketship in Winston-Salem, I saw june Sisk and her husband, who is a dentist in New Orleans. They had just been married. june told me they were on their way to the Hawaiian Islands for a honeymoon. After their honeymoon, they plan to live in New Orleans. As I entered King on a passenger train, I noticed a new sign on a door, Doctor Geraldine Llznkfonl-Orteopatla. I went in and sure enough, there was Geraldine giving a treatment for rheumatism and other aches and pains to a patient. I learned that Barbara Southern is a criminal lawyer in Char- lotte. She is married to her childhood sweetheart. Barbara has not as yet lost a case. She is a very good lawyer. Maybe she will be another Portia Blake. Betty Sue Southern and her husband are living on a big plantation in South Carolina. They are very successful in their farming. There are three little girls and nary a Carl, jr., in sight. I learned that Allene Newsom is operating a cosmetics depart- ment in King, North Carolina. She is a very successful hair designer. As I was about to leave King, I saw Marvin Tuttle. Marvin told me he is owner of six theaters in North Carolina. He is living up to his superlative Old Bachelor but he is forgetting it very soon. Mrvin told me that Jones Burroow and Nolan Redding are farmers. Nolan is a poultry dealer. He has about fifty thousand fowls. jones is a beef-cattle dealer. He has about 1000 head of cattle. I learned that Hight Ferguson is General Manager of a Beach Resort in Miami, Florida. Hight married his childhood sweetheart in 1955. They have been living in F1orida,since then. His wife is a private secretary. Hight is a little theater actor in his spare time. When I arrived back on Mars, I was very happy to have visited dear old King Hi and the planet Earth again.
