CLASS PROPHECY My! This bag of tools that I have been carrying for these past four years is getting so heavy.I think Ishall stop and relax for a few moments. Well! Here I am,on the stepping stones of life, looking upward into the future. Let's take a peek into the year of 1964 and see what has developed from rhatshapeless mass that my classmates and I began to work with in the beginning of our high school career. Looking outwards among the clouds, I see in the distance a lovely young lady on Long Beach,California.Just look at all her admirers. She must be a famous Hollywood celebrity, Yes, it is no other than the famous Edith Rose Brown. She isn't as timid as in her former days. Drifting along with the clouds over the Pacific Ocean, there appears a hugh ship below in the deep blue. To my astonishment it's Sue Kinney, a Captain in the U. S. Waves, on deck. She has been around the world lgwicile and knows all the ports by hearty but there is only one sailor at her harbor and that is her Admiral hus- an . Wandering wistfully through the big state of Texas, I discover a spacious and lovely ranch. To my sheer amazement, I find that it is owned by Vonnie Adkins' father. They have moved back to Texas and Vonnie is her dad's secretary. She does a lot of trick riding in her spare time and is one of the cowboys' favorite. My! How time is flying. I'd better journey on. Oops! About ran into an airplane.How stupid, that's the Empire State Building that I practically ran into. There is an attractive young lady -wait! Of all people! lt's Helen Gobble. What a beautiful building at Tobe- Coburn College where she finished her fashion course. She's one of the best.l'm glad to see that she gave her talent a chance. Here's an interesting couple to observe. A journalist is writing something on a scratch pad. It's Ioan Rod- gers taking a few notes on the life of the Yankee's ace pitcher, Wayne Sechrest. They seem to be chatting over old times. They were former classmates. ' Iwonder if Taylor Humphries has ever made it to General Motors in Deutoit. We'll find out now. Well! He did. He is supervising the workers in the plant. He has acquired his goal, Supervisor of General Motors. Now, I wonder what happened to Cora.There's Cora now. She has come after Taylor for dinner. They are go- ing home to one of Cora's perfect meals. What happened to Mary Smith and Becky Wrenn? Oh! I haven't forgotten them. Shall we go to Florida? Here we are, and there is Becky, picking oranges from her husband's orange grove. Miami is so beautiful. No wonder Becky likes it so well. Just look at all the lovely tourist cabins. There's a young woman who is going to be baked if she doesn't get out of the sun. She is leaving now.Mary Smith! I hardly knew her. Look at that diamond sparkling on her finger. Some lucky guy to get her! What a day for surprises. I guess I'd better drift back toward North Carolina. Below, I see a huge farm. No--not one, but two. Both of the farms look extremely neat. Those two appear to be disagreeing alittle down there. Taking a second glance, I see that they are Lynn Jarratt and Leonard Lopp, Leonard is trying to per- suade Lynn not to be so set in his ways and not to be such a confirmed, old bachelor. Leonard, himself is very hagplily married. Except for Lynn's ideas about marriage, they get along fine, Lynn and his dogs and Leonard an is wi e. Getting nearer to Lexington, Isee Hazel Burris's Beauty Nook. She is quite a success. Everyone raves about her hair styles. She's so successful that she is thinking about opening a chain of shops. Well, I'm back where I started from, and I must say the future looks very bright for my old C13SS1'1'13tCS of '54- Prophet of '54 Letha Owens
