PRDPHECY Ho hum. where am I? Goodness, I must have been dreaming, for I saw all my L. H. S. classmates again. I dreamed I took a trip to New York in the year 1954. The first person I saw was Katherine Roseman selling the tickets at the Charlotte airport. Climbing aboard the plane, piloted by Efird Burris and Sam Burgin, I found that Frances Tilson and Virginia Heavner were the air stewardesses. Traveling on the same plane were Bill Scbrum, now a wealthy banker; Betty Ingle, recently elected Miss America; Betty Ballard, owner of the New York Athletic Store; Hazeline Connor and her husband, an officer in the Marines; Jane Lohr, who had just returned to this country after three years as missionary to India; and Minta Car- penter, general manager of all Eagle Dime Stores. My plane stopped awhile in Washington, and wandering around the town. I saw Helen Gragg, a busy housewife, hurrying to market. Passing a government building. I saw Sybil Ballard. Marie Bynum. Geraldine Houser, Dorothy Dean Hovis, and Elizabeth Leatherman working at their typewriters. At the F.B.I, building I saw Betty Sue Leonard and Velma McGinnis. Imagine my surprise when I saw the President ride by with his three body guards, Bill Van Dresser, George Whitesides, and Raymond Payseur! To pass the time away I went to a theatre managed by Jimmy King and saw Jeanette Fair and Wayne Finger in a picture written by Clafton Mullen and produced by Edward Killian. Also, in the picture were Clara Hoyle, Dorothy Payseur. and Ralph Robinson. Passing a ball field, I stopped to watch Brat Stroupe and Charles Gabriel playing in a pro- fessional football game. Cheering from the stands were Jonnie Chronistcr and Mary Wray Beal. Who should be the team ' s coach but Garmon Schrum with Vernon as assistant! Passing a Greyhound bus on the way back to the airport, I saw Glenn Reynolds as its driver. When I arrived in New York the first person I saw was Jack McQuinn in charge of the airport. Carolyn Byers and Helen Sellers worked in his office. I registered at the New York Hotel, managed by Ruth Cash, and after chatting awhile with La Von Blankenship, who is now a prominent business woman, I started out to see the town. Walking down Broadway, I saw the names of Lou Rhyne and Elliott Beal in big lights. They were playing in Shakespeare ' s Romeo and Juliet. Wade Herman managed the theatre, and Marshall Mace directed the play. Stopping at a night club run by Inez Thornburg and William Harrill, I saw Buddy Alex- ander, leader of Alexander ' s Ragtime Band. In the band were Bob Modlin, Blair Nantz, Fred Navey. Johnny Hoffman, Robert Hallman. and William Wycoff. The hat check girls there were Fay and Frances Dellingcr. and Pauline Devine was the operator ' s secretary. Looking around me, I saw the famous artist, Georgia Chandler; Frances Gates, dean of women; Betty Jean Mullen, chemistry teacher; Betty Jean Goodman, Latin teacher, and Betty Jean Cashion, basketball coach, all from the University of New York. Also there were Ruby Lemmond. model; Mary Elizabeth Keener, wife of a banker; Dalton Mitchum, architect, and Ted Corriher. owner of the famous Corrihcr racing stables. I learned through talking to them that Christine Crooks was superintendent of nurses at Jefferson Hospital. Lewis Keener and Calvin Faircloth were internes there and Mary Goodson, Faith Rhyne, Kathleen Goodson. Dorothy Long. Betty Wise, and Betty Procter were nurses. I also learned that Jane Elmore was an undertaker at Lee Rhodes ' Funeral Home. Around the corner from the night club, I stopped in a restaurant run by Ruth Willis. Opal Harwell. Margaret Fury, and Beatrice Kincaid were waitresses. But that is where I awoke. And why dream further? They arc all accounted for and I must go about my own wo rk. I shall arouse myself, cover my fire with ashes and leave the ghost of dreams to flit about the shadows. Page Nineteen
