PROPHECV Well, fifteen years have passed since I left L.H.S. and went out into the world to look for prosperity. This morning, sad and disillusioned, I returned to my native Liberty. I left a growing town to return to a smallcity. Dres sed in my Sunday best, overall pants and worn- out shoes, I began to look up my old classmates. It seemed that all of them had fared better than I and had attained a certain degree of what they termed success. There were: Kenneth Fogleman, manager of a huge chain of restaurants known all ove r the nation as Ken ' s Kitchen , specializing in root beer and doughnuts. Patty Patterson, B. S. ; A. B. ; Ph. D. ; F. O. B. ; and S. O. S. ; and currently working on a D. D. T. , has made extraordinary advances in modern education and is now president of the Woman ' s College of University of North Carolina. RalphSmith, who has established a reputation for eating, is now owner of Chick ' s Mile Wide Cafe , to be sure of getting six square meals a day. Patty Staley, wife of General George Staley, is First Lady at Camp Staley, Alaska. Bobby Justice, who gained quick success with his brother in broom manufacturing, is now president of the Justice, Luther, and Justice Broom Corporation. Mary Frances Fogleman, whose singing ability is recognized throughout the nation, is known as Little Kate Smith . Jack Garner, hearing the South will rise again , has returned to his plantation near Savannah, Georgia, to prepare for Sherman ' s next march. Sara Bare, whose early experience at Curtis Theater proved profitable, has recently opened the Walk-In Theatre at Red Cross, North Carolina. Thomas Breedlove, former football star at Liberty High is now head football coach at Scalp U. University at Blackfoot Indian Reservation. Milton Ferguson and Jr. ( Moe ) Pike, who have always had a fondness for bus driving, are driving buses for Ramseur Route Bus Lines. Juanita Fogleman, who made life tough for the other senior French students, is a French interpreter for the United States delegation in the United Nations. Bill Thomas, who learned much about service stations from Edgar Jenkins, now owns a large service station on Highway 421. Frances Overman, who has always had a liking for fine cars, is vice-president, Cadillac Division, General Motors Corporation. Charlie Duncan and Douglas Smith have not been seen lately, but I think they probably have a fine knowledge of geography, because they have been in the navy for the past five years. Louise McMasters, whom you could always find making aprons out of feed sacks, has become Instructor of the Adult Sewing Class, following in the footsteps of Mrs. Sallie Moore. Alan Martin, who in high school received extensive training from Cecil Beane, Tony Stockard, and Joe Jackson, now owns and operates Martin Milling Company. Jean Iseley was recently married to Ralph Hoehandle, Foreman of Kerr Scott ' s farm near Haw River. John Presnell, following in the footsteps of his father, also operates a car dealership and is the owner and manager of the North State Lincoln-Mercury Company, with Buddie Cox as service manager. Lou Anice Dodson, manager of the Lookout Beauty Salon , specializes in Poodle and Rat Terrier hair-dos. Paul Shelton and Thomas Coltrane, scientific farmers, made a discovery which will profit dairy farmers. They found that by feeding a cow dehydrated water they could produce Pet Milk. Mae Frances Workman, recently married to a New York Stockbroker, is the author of the book How to Live Rich and Be Happy . Phil Carter, president of Liberty Manufacturing Company, has become wealthy making plow points and television sets. Prophet Allen Fuller 14
