Class Prophecy After a hard year of work, vacation time finally rolled around . W e two stenogra- phers, Phyllis Springs and Willie Johnson decided to take a tour around the world. This is the year of 1964- the members of the 1956 class have made numerous strides in achievement. As we strolled down Fifth Ave. in Baltimore we saw a sign that read “The Diggs Real Estate Company.” We decided to walk in and there we saw an old class- mate of ours, Barbara Oglesby, working as private secretary for Reginald Diggs. We had one student in our class who was undecided as to what he wanted to do. We find that person now working for the largest firm in the state of North Carolina, Hamilton and Cruse Company . Don’t be surprised, but Evelyn Spears is their bookkeeper . On our tours , we visited one of the down town department stores on Broadway in New York. There we found Secnolia Bost, Betty Boger, and Mary Perkins working as file clerks for Walker’s Department Store . Also in that store we found Flora Bell Stafford, who is the executive and James Locke, vice-president for the whole chain of Walker’s department stores. While chatting with them , we found that Elizabeth Edwards and Helen Caldwell were the most outstanding lawyers in New York. We also found that Josephine Asbury was foreign correspondent for the New York Times, stationed in Paris, France. Strolling down the Boulevard, we saw Betty Ford working in one of the largest employment offices in the world, owned by Howard Shipp. He has offices all over New York with two clerks in one of them; they are Nellie Grier and Mildred Tillman, and five stenographers in the other; they are Daisy Steele, Betty Johnson, Evelyn Wallace, Frances Ford and Blondell Jack- son, along with his bookkeeper, Bernice Cook. As we left the dock for Europe on the “Queen Elizabeth” we saw Melvin Love as the ship’s captain. While chatting with him, he informed us that David Wike is working for one of the largest photographic studios in New York. He also informed us that Robert Howie and BufordHowie were concert singers at one of the largest opera houses in Europe. As we left the airport, we journeyed into Calif ornia. While shopping down town on Fulton Street, we saw a sign that read Beautiful Modeling Here. We decided to go in and to our surprise we found our old classmate, Mary Cuthbertson, who has been a model for four years. While conversing with her, we found that Erma Freeman had a wonderful job as a com - mercial artist in Paris and Sadie Bruner was an accountant in Holland Bank in Mexico City. Boarding a bus to visit the other parts of California, we met Timothy Miller and Martin Scott, who were now mechanics. After conversing with them , we found that La - Rose and Yvonne Griffin were working as dental technicians at King County Hospital in Brooklyn, New York. Leaving there, we boarded a plane for Chicago. While on the plane, we ran into Will- iam Clark, who was now a d i s c jockey for station W. W. O. K. While chatting with him , we learned that Hugh Williams was teaching drivers education at West Charlotte Senior High School in Charlotte, North Carolina. Ten hours later, strangely enough, we made it into Concord, North Carolina; where we found Frank Love a doctor a t Cabarrus Memorial Hospital. While chatting with him, we found that Maude Harris, Evelyn Harris and Annie Torrence were registered nurses at City Hospital in New York. Lea ving there , we finally arrived at Logan School, where wefoundmany changesmade. James Kiser was teaching Chemistry a nd Mary Moss, James Coleman, and James Ford were teaching Ma thematics. Touring on, we found Marie Harris, the dietitian, ordering Gladys Bar be r, Janie Black, Sybbie McCauley and Ida Walker around in the cafeteria. While chatting with John Sims , who was now principal at Logan, we found tha t B uford Mobley, Herman Black, Homer Forrest, Marvin Russell and James Coleman were the new members on the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball team. We also learned that Lucille Ed- wards was teaching dancing at A T College in Greensboro, North Carolina. As we left Logan School and returned to work, we were very proud to see how won- derfully the Class of 1956 had carried out our motto- “Out of School Life and Into Life’s School .’ ’ By Willie Johnson Phyllis Springs
