.A t .I X i xj-A X . , A f ii' P Zu A lt. .N att, CLASS PRCDPHECY Knowing that the task of prophet was difhcult, I taxed all my prophetic powers and gazed at the twinkling stars-as I gazed at the stars the blurred visions came clear. I see James Elliott, now a famous physician in a large hospital. and Alice Kincaid, the laboratory technician. I also see Bobby VvIillis and his undertaking establishment in the same town. As I look at the stars again, I see David Lineberger, now an outstanding lawyer and no other than Dorothy Seagle as his private secretary. A crowded theatre now appeared and who should come on the stage but Melvin Sipe and his orchestra. At the back of the theatre stood Bill Rudisill. manager. In a large hospital in Philadelphia I recognize Christine Steffan, Ruth Prospt, Elizabeth Mc- Ginnis. Minnie Sue Barger. and Helen Auten, who are now capable nurses. I found that Helen Ross and Betty Gabriel are members of the faculty of a large high school in North Carolina. Next I see a large passenger plane about to leave on a flight. The pilot. much to my surprise. is Charlie Childs and the air hostess, Jean Barlow. I found in a large airplane factory liranklin Grigg and Walter Lineberger, expert designers. and in the same factory are Ralph I-leafner, G. B. Smith, J. W. Laney, and Charles Hornbuckle as capable mechanics. It did not surprise me to Gnd Buster Knight, Lee Elmore. and Bill Chapman playing prof fessional football. And there is Colonel .limmie Owen. head of the R. O. T, C. unit at the largest college in New York State. In Hollywood I see two famous stars, Laura Gene Cochrane and Nancy Self wearing dresses designed by Martha Ann Hoyle. Dorothy Blaney is now a Social Service worker in Chicago. There is Darrell Ewing, director of the State College Extension Service. and Sam Ereeman. editor of the Progressive Farmer. At a large theatre I see Betty Wood Kizer at the grand piano playing the Bridal Chorus. At the same time on the stage are many pretty maidens including: Thelma Cashion, Dorothy Neal Goodson. Louise Devine and Virginia Ifinger. In Raleigh, Gordon Robinson is being sworn in as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court by Chief Justice George Shuford. Among those present at the ceremony are Bill Lindsay, District Engineer of the State Highway Commission. and Ralph Jonas, prominent Lincolnton attorney- at-law. At the desk sits Katherine Beam of Crouse, Margaret Lineberger, and Donald Rudisill, reporters for the State's largest newspaper. At the air-base in Jacksonville. Florida, I see four Carolinians as lieutenants in the air corps: Clyde Rhyne. Robert Sherrill. Patil Campbell, and Paul Brackett. I am glad to see that North Carolina has risen far toward the top of the list in literary achievement with Catherine Beam as President of the Writers Club and Playwright Louise Holly writing the best play of the year. John Anderson has just been elected City Manager of Charlotte. I am not surprised to see Bob Hauss president of the largest department SIOre in Charlotte. In a beautifully decorated home I see Christine Turner and Betty Garrison, who are interior decorators. Flying not far away on a seaplane is Lieutenant Bud Warlick and Joe Ford, an ofiicial at the Naval Air Station. Hester Helms is directing a group of operators in her Modern Beauty Parlor in Boston. Johnnie Ellis, Ralph Goodman, and Iioard Buff are construction engineers in New York City. Hazel Craig. Margaret Leonard. and Margaret Ingle are head of a kindergarten school in Los Angeles, California. Two outstanding members of the Lincolnton High School faculty are Mary Ethel Houser and Helen Wise. In a Lincolnton hospital I see Doctor Mabel Burris, pneumonia specialist. The head nurse there is Bobbie Huss. And there is Margaret Haynes working in the largest bank in New York City. I see Don Culberson has become the wrestling champion of the world. Catherine Devine and Roxanna Lynch are managing a ladies' ready-to-wear in Chicago. I am sure their experience in the athletic store at Lincolnton High School has a great deal to do with their ability to sell. As I look for the twinkling stars again. I find that dark clouds have covered the whole sky. But why should I worry? I have finished the prophecy of the class of I9-12. BILLY HOYLIE, Class Prophet. Page Eighteen
