Senior Class Prophecy Being class prophet has not been an easy task, but having beseeched the Unknown Powers, I have been endowed with mysticism by which I have been privileged to gaze through a crystal into the future. When I first gazed into its depths it seemed densely covered with impenetrable cloudsg however, after concentrating all my hyp- notic powers I gazed fascinated into the crystal. At first dimly, and then clearly, I saw the Rose Bowl at Pasadena. Bill Mauney's Duke Blue Devils were battling Charles Tilson's Southern California Trojans for the championship. The scene changed to an automobile race. C. D. Stroup and Billy Byars were in the lead. These boys have certainly profited by the experience gained in Lincolnton. Next I saw the skyscrapers of New York City. Many of my old classmates have taken up life in the Metropolis. Bobby Roseman, and Jack Thompson own a large theatre on Broadway. Mary Rudisill and Anne Page own an exclusive dress shoppe. Clarence Duncan plays short stop for the New York Yankees, while Raymond Rudi- sill and Claude Broome play in the outfield of the New York Giants. James Reinhardt and Charles Little are among the city's most successful physicans. Eddie Pierce is a distinguished poet and lives in a beautiful mansion on Park Avenue. Bill Bandy, Ben Harrill, and Lester Mullen are the owners of a large department store in Lower New York. Martha Mauney and Josie Padgett have made a great success of Broad- way and are planning to go to Hollywood. New York certainly contains a lot of Lincolnton talent. The scene moves to Washington. It also contains a large number of my old classmates. Rebecca Cloniger and Nancy Anderson own a large and fashionable beauty parlor. Jim Duncan, Tom Shuford, and Ray Link are air mail pilotsg while H-oke Shuford flies the passenger plane from New York to Washington. Ophelia Lippard is secretary to Senator Hillard T. Keever. Margaret Shinn and Mayzelle Moore are models in a Washington fashion show. Francis Shuford and Naomi Rudisill are the society editors of the Washington Star. Martha Beam and Georgette Brown own a large and beautiful hotel, with Nell Huss and Beulah Robinson operating the hotel beauty parlor. Edna Mace. Margaret Dellinger, Kate Kiser, and Signora Brotherton belong to the staff of the Congressional Library. Washington has certainly given me a lot of surprises. The next scenes came from many parts of the United States. Lucille Seagle is the very popular coach of basketball at Greensboro College for Women. L. C. Nixon is owner and chief operator of the Packard Motor Company in Lincolnton. Mary Helen Modlin, Laura Mae Mincy, and Ruth Ewing are teachers in Lincolnton High School. Bert Barlow is a sports writer for the Clmrlofic Observer. Charlie Keever and Earl Cook own a large farm implement company in Chicago. Ruth Elrod and Lucy Belle Styers are missionaries in China. Alzora Williamson and Edna Mae Proctor own a large florist shop in Charlotte. William Wilkinson is the retired ban- tamweight champion of the world. Robert Jones and Roy McCreary are Radio an- nouncers in Chicago. Martin VVhisnant and Laurence Whitlock own a chain of Five and Ten Cent Stores over the two Carolinas. Robert Buff is sheriff of Lincoln County, and Wilbur Lowe and Howard Miller are his deputies. H. C. Cashion is a very suc- cessful insurance salesman in Charlotte. Nellie Costner is head nurse in Johns Hop- kins Hospital, while Mary Shrum and Hazel Warlick are her able assistants. Clyde Mullen and Ray Barkley own large ranches in Wyoming. Almetta Cooke married a duke and is living in England. Ethel Boggs, Elizabeth Cornwell, and Mattie Harrill are teachers in Charlotte, Ruby Shuford and Willie Mae Avery own a large lunch room in Baltimore. Blanchard Whiteside, Irene Ballard, and Sarah Cauble are Red Cross workers in the Virgin Islands. I saw all of my classy I wondered what the future held for me? I looked anxi- ously into the crystal, but saw nothing. My magical powers deserted me, but I am satisfied because I have read the invisible futu1'e of my friends. i -RICHARD HUFFMAN, Class Prophet.
