' :..- v-.. , ' - ,rgaf-1'-' -N-, . , - 1 Senior Class Prophee tBeing extracts from the diary of Margaret Brevardj JUNE l. 1947-How weary I am from having slaved all winter with the reports of the United Stated Fire Insurance Company. I had no idea that being promoted to the main office in Philadelphia would mean even greater responsibility. Well. vacation is here and I shall travel and travel and forget how weary I am of reports and hgures. JUNE Z-As I was eating lunch in the dining car. just after leaving Philadelphia. I hapf pened to look down the aisle from me and there I saw a familiar face. Could this changed pompous creature be Billy Grigg? Just then he recognized me and joined me. He said he was congressman from North Carolina. Seeing Billy made me think of I.incolnton. Billy informed me that Iiorace Richards is the newly elected sheriff. I know he will make a good one. Tonight when I got off the train and started to call a taxi. some one called me by my first name. Who in the world knew me way up here? NVhen I looked around it was Bill Jetton. who took me to my hotel in his Rolls Royce. And he said he and Mrs. Jetton would call for me at six o'clock to take me to his fashionable Fifth Avenue restaurant. Ahf already in societyl While eating we were talking over old times. asking about our old school friends. They told me that Glenn I.acky and Ifranklin Anderson owned a large theater on Broadway. and that Linda Vklarlick was the director of their orchestra in the theater. Also that Helen Beam was the matron at Columbia University. NVell. it seems as if New York has all of our school-mates. NVhat a glorious evening I have had' JUNE 3-This morning Linda Vwlarlick took me to an exclusive dress shoppegthe owner was none other than Frances Warlicl-.. Another surprise? This afternoon we went to a show. The picture was l'Two Lovers and the star was Patil Moore. who has made quite a success in Hollywood. The Twins was the first vaudeville announcement: two girls tripped out- the Jenkins sistersfw I just had to say it aloud. I.inda said they had played all over the world. Tonight we went to the Opera. Pauline McGee sang there and was applauded more than any of the other singers. This did not surprise me very much. because I remembered how well she sang while in Old I.incolnton High. JUNK 4+Today my friends went with me to the train. I had some business to attend to in South Bend. Indiana. On my way I stopped at Cincinnati. Ohio. Here I decided to go to South Bend by airplane. Goodness. my pilot was John Yoder. and I surely felt safe. He told me that Ralph Mullen and Julius Hoffman were also pilots at this airport. On our trip I turned on the radio and the announcer for the Columbia Broadcasting Station was George I.ingerfelt. He was on day duty and his brother. Melvin. was on night duty. XVe landed safely and I went straight to a palatial hotel owned and operated by Robert Jonas. I know I shall enjoy my stay. JUNE 5-Notre Dame played Navy here today. As I had never seen them play I went. I'll never regret seeing that wonderful game. Bill Mauney was the coach. Daniel I.ockman and Guy Keener were the assistant coaches. Patil Kistler and Wade Hallman are the basket- ball coaches there also. After the game I went down to speak to Bill. Bill had never married. so he asked me to go out with him to dinner. He told me that John Rudisill coached at Tulane. These boys surely had a good beginningg no wonder they are such a success. Bill said he was going to Chicago tomorrow and for me to go with him and get the biggest surprise of my life. JUNE 6-We reached Chicago about ten o'clock. took a sigbtfseeing bus to go around the city. The driver was Hal Schronce. Just think. Hal from Iincolntonf Therefore I really enjoyed my ride. This afternoon I went to the ball game. And did I get a surprise? Charles Tilson played second base and Elmore Goodson third. Charles is quite famous now and always plays a grand game of ball. btit that is not unusual. We had a good time at the hotel tonight. Charles came over and Elmore and Mrs. Goodson came also. So we had a party. They told us lots of news about our old class friends. Julia Schronce is coach of a girls' basketball team. Lillian Leonard is an artist and has won mitch fame with her exhibitions. Ruth Beam is head nurse at John Hopkins Hospital. Woodrow Armstrong got rich on an electrical invention. Calvin Padgett is a famous doctor and his wife. the former Colleen Gabriel. helps him much in his profession.

We think of classmates true and dear, With Whom We have to part, Of teachers who have helped us on, Each with a grateful heart. We have reached the parting of the Way, That we have trod so long, Each has his goal toward which he strives And so We hasten on. So, High School days, We say farewell, Days gone to come no more, But, in future years, when memory turns, We'll live you o'er and o'er. M. LUCILE HESTER Class Poet xtlly, Dr, :af ,Q

JUNIE 7-Today I left for Washington. On the train I picked up the New York Sun. I had to look several times to believe my own eyes. because Paul Mundy was the editor and Willie Ramsey was sports editor. On the sports page I saw in big headlines, Cecil Sigmon Plays Wonderful Game Iior Army. I bet he still smiles when he gets tackled. On the society page I saw an account of a big reception. given in honor of New Yorks governor. The hostess was Shasta Abernethy. Shasta is a society leader now. I was startled by the announce- ment of the marriage of Bonnie Crooks to a New York lawyer. When I got to Washington today I went to a hotel and rested for about an hour. Then I went down to the hotel beauty parlor. Dorothy Stroup was the owner. Here Hattie I.ee Costner. who is a partner with Dorothy. gave me a new permanent. the best one I have ever had. I'm glad chance led me here. for they told me that Lucile Hester had studied abroad and had become a famous poetess. They also told me that Kathleen Campbell remains a school teacher in Lincolnton, N. C. Sallie Brown Clark lives here in Vkfashington. the wife of a famous lawyer.

Ralph Cashion and Iiloyd Duncan own a very chic Iirench shoe store, I had not planned to buy any shoes. but when I learned this I just had to. The fiftieth surprise was a large grocery store owned by Charlie Baker. VJhen we got home tonight Sara Padgett was there to greet us. She entertained us with stories of her life as society editor for a large newspaper. The door bell rang and in walked Barbara Hinson and Dorothy Perkins, Geel it looked as if we were going to have a party. Barbara has won international fame as a pianist. Dorothy is a very successful journalist in Vyfashington. I had to pinch myself to know that I was not dreaming. JUNK 8-We slept late this morning. At eleven o'clock we went to church 'and what a sermonf NVilson Cauble was the preacher.-he surely has changed, Iirom him we learned that Louise Ciaston is now dean at Greensboro College and that XVilvie Ifwing is a matron at an orphanage. When we came home I happened to pick up a toy monkey sitting on a table. I looked on the bottom and there in distinct letters I read. Made by Hall Sullivan Co. Sallie Brown told me he is becoming quite wealthy. Tonight we sat on the front porch and talked over our school days. Sallie Brown asked me if I remembered Sue Lockman. Of course I did. Well. she told me that Sue is a model in a New York fashion show. J. W. Kiser is the owner of a large circus. and Hoke Heavner is his partner. I surely would like to see this show. Harry Mullen owns a ranch in Texas and his neighbor. Hunter Rudisill owns one also. These boys must be lost away out there. Helen Murphy teaches school in the mountains and is loved by all her pupils and I don't blame them. Iilorene Bynum and Virginia Bynum own a chain of Bynum Iiive and Ten Cent Stores over the state of North Carolina. Mary Robinson isa lawyer in Washington. I surely could have listened to this all night, but one must sleep. JUNIE 0-I have heard lots of news today, so pay special attention. I saw in the paper this morning that Martha Haynes has taken her class of girls to Canada to enter the ice skating contests in November. Martha's girls have won many trophies.

That was just like her-always saying something funny. There was also a letter from a farm implement company for me to answer. The president was Clyde Abernethy and Vice-President I'rank Houser. When I read the paper I saw where Blanche Wise was married in England to a prince. Well. what a wonderful vacationf I've heard from every one of my old school-mates.
