611155 Prophecy Well, here it is, the year 1973. As I sit back in my easy chair looking at the 1953 edition of the LINDEN LEAVES, I begin wondering what happened to my Senior classmates. As I step out of the door to get into my atomic-powered automobile, which, incidentally, was invented by R. L. Medlin, who is now head scientist in the Atomic Commission, I hear a loud noise overhead. lf it isn't Max Shoaf in his newest invention, the one-man helicopter. The United States has prospered greatly since Richard Broadway became President. He is the youngest man ever to hold that high office. The first place I stop on my tour is Raleigh. Well, if it isn 't Jimmy Walton, now President of the NCAA, giving Don Strickland, the new coach at State, the low-down on the new rules. While I'm here, I think l'll run downtown. The first grocery store I see is Coppley's! Seems that Betty is doing all right after taking over her Uncle's store in Linwood. She has stores all over the United States. From here I think l'll go to Winston. There's Clarice Kearns coaching the Hanes Hosiery girls! I've heard that she finally has a winning team a.fter a ten year slump. l'll zoom up to New York and look around for a while. Look there on that theater sign! Betty Swing starring in Wonder Girl . Betty always was a good actress. I hear that Jimmy Styers is up here somewhere drawing cartoons for LIFE magazine and the NEW YORK TIMES. Not many people ever see him, because he stays busy most of the time. I suppose he is still collecting rocks and brickbats. I think l'll go up around the Great Lakes region for a while. Here I am in Chicago, Illinois. There's Max Lanning in the Zenith Radio and Television Building! Max took a course at State College and has been inventing bigger and better television sets in color. I am in Detroit, Michigan now. There's Alice Swink in the General Motors Company Incorpo- rated! Alice took a course in bookkeeping and now has a steady job with General Motors. I think l'll ride over to California. Here is Hollywood. Look at that sign over there! Brice Kearns co-starring with Paul Taylor in Reno . Brice is taking Bob HOPe'S place, and Paul is doing Fred Astaire's part in the dancing role. Here I am, in Texas, on my way back home. Look at that cowboy over there! If it isn't Gene Fritts! Gene has a thousand acre ranch out here where he raises nothing but Hereford Cattle . Bobby Billings, a new-comer in our class, is doing all right for himself as president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. Bobby started out as a salesman but has gradually built himself up. Well, here I ani, back home. I saw everyone except Doris Tarleton and Norene Smith. Al- though not many people know it, Doris married a millionaire, one of Henry Ford's descendants . Norene eloped with her favorite beau right after graduation. No one knows where they are , but I've heard rumors that they are in Hawaii. Boy! I surely am tired! I hear my sister calling me. It must be time to go to work at the barbecue stand, so bye for now! Raym ond Rodger s Prophet .- .-aeaux.. m!'7F'i-L :mn-11-f.'fm:an.,. ..a1'r .,. .
