Class Prophecy After a busy summer at London Memorial Hospital in New England, we three nurse s , Myrtle Witherspoon, Marion Boger and Peggy Wagoner, were off duty for a month in September, 1964. We decided to take a fall vacation to New York. The weather there was pleasant. Strolling down 125th Street, we saw a sign over a shop, saying, “Dressmaking and Design- ing.” Inside we found Helena Douglas , manage r with Adele Freeman and Laura Lawing assisting her. Venturing farther down the street, we came to Amsterdam Avenue. We were beginning to get hungry. Fortunately, we saw a sign on a shop stating “Do-Nut Dinette,” We went to get a snack and were surprised to find it owned by Oren Douglas, but operated by Eldrator Douglas and George Foard. Boarding a bus to City Hospital to pick up some reports for Doctor Vivian Scott, we were surprised to find Mamie Farr seated on the bus. While conversing with her, we found out that she was secretary to Chief-Justice Benson and that Dorothy Springs, Virginia McCauley and Montesse Parker were private secretaries to some prominent detectives in Washington, D. C. After arriving at City Hospital, we saw Edith Moss, Ruth Scott and Sadie Torrence, regis- tered nurses, who were working there. Passing down the corridor we saw Doctor Clarence Handy, a brain surgeon, preparing a patient for surgery. From there we went to the airport. We boarded a plane to Washington. While on the plane we ran into Richard Foard, who was a Navy Pilot. He was on his way to visit his relatives. On Rhode Island Avenue in Washington we saw the Vogue Beauty Salon. Full of curiosity we went in and found Letha Pearson, Annie Garris, Ivey Stafford and Louise Miller having a meeting with the State Examiner of the Cos- metology Board. Leaving there, we went down the street a little farther. We passed a gymnasium where Helen White and Fred Brown were training professional basketball players. Then we went to Wilmington, Delaware. We wanted to go to Lombard Street to find a music store. This store was owned by Hubert Washington, with Carrie Lloyd giving voice demonstra- tions to customers. From Delaware we went to Baltimore. At Morgan College we found Virginia Miller, the dietitian, on he r old routine ordering Annie Russell, Doris Bost, Cora Russell and Floree Johnson about in the cafeteria. At this same school Betty Pierce was teaching dancing. Twelve hours later, strangely enough, we made it to Concord, North C arolina, where we went to Cabarrus Hospital to visit. Eugene McCain was the hospital pharmacist. Chatting with him, we found out that there had been some changes at Logan School. Lois Johnson was the art director. Lois Drye was ninth grade teacher and Cora Walker was the English and Spanish teacher Touring on, we saw Gilbert Russell and Mark Harris, the agricultural instructors. At the Builders Trade Department Albert Blackwas lecturing his class on “Building a Foundation.” Uretha Lee was teaching Bible and Lucile Love, Betty Stewart and Betty Shinn were teaching Home Economics. Tommie Saunders was teaching Drivers’ Education. Reminiscing with him, we found out that Frank Brown and James Rounds were Electrical Engineers at A. and T. College in Greensboro, North Carolina. While visiting the campus we noticed that there were many physical improvements made at our “Dear Old Logan.” In the southwestern corner of the campus there was a large, beautiful, red, brick gymnasium. We were proud to see that the class of ’54 had carried out our motto, “Always Strive To Keep Ahead.” Peggy Wagoner Myrtle Witherspoon Marion Boger
