?,,,M,,,e.,... -,.,, , . r ' 1 ' ,a ., . CLASS PROPHECY 1947 With a nostalgic feeling I walked down Broadway that spring morning in 1967. I noticed a caption below the Marquee of the Capitol Theater which read, Paul Abney Yater and Iobyna McLauchlin, starring in The Perfect Gentleman, Walking along, I was in time to see Iohnny Rogerson setting up his news stand for the business of the day. While standing on a street corner, who should speak and tip his hat but Earl Carmichael. He wanted me to move, so that he could sweep where I was standing. I made my way toward Greenwich Village, for l was sure that l would find familiar faces there. Surely enough, with whom should I collide but Mar She said that she was on her way to sell an ad for the Greenwich Gazette to Iohn B. Dickson, I wandered into Smith's Smargsborg and was entertained by the Anderson Adagio, Glen Anderson, Sara Anderson, and Kevin Anderson. While chatting with the Andersons, I glanced at the bar and found Austin Glover polishing beer mugs and talking with Iohn B. Dickson who was trying to prove that he had been Ir, Rotarian for the month of May way back in 1947. Leaving Smith's I met Rowena Vivion who was dressed in a nurse's uniform. She was pushing the McGaw quintuplets for their morning air. She told me that Bobby Bill had come into the McGaw millions and now owned the Empire State Building. Rowena also told me that the McGaw's had hired a new chauffeur, Kenneth Bounds. I bade Rowena good-bye and ventured farther. Looking up I saw Ruth Davis shaking a dust mop out of a second story window. I walked nearer the building and read on the plaque by the door, Don Menasco's School for Girls in gold letters, below this was, Sue Hill and Rowena Welch, permanent students. The shop next door was o bakery with a sign, Rita's Eateriesf' I walked inside to say hello as I was sure it was my old friend, Rita Yates. To my surprise, I found that Iimmy Eaves was working there as a cake icer. My next stop was Maxwell's Eat-a-bite. You remember Bill, he was always creating new hair styles. Well, he has given up all that and now lets his hair grow and just braids it. I found some of our classmates working for Bill. There was Robert Harris, chef: lane Nichols, waitress: and Carroll Prior, waiter. I enjoyed the food at the Eat-a-bite , but felt somewhat extravagant after paying the charge of twenty-five dollars. The prices had been lowered at the request of Wilburn Harper, mayor of New York. I wandered into the Grand Opera Auditorium in time to hear those great metropolitan tenors, Franklyn Linville and William Henderson singing Roderick Stilwell's newest composition, The Voice of the African Potato. Alma Ruth Marks was turning the pages when Iohn Iackson, conductor, nodded to her. Peggy Porter was ticket seller and Clarence Haupt was head usher directing the others: Ioe Francis, Roger Crutchfield, Anson Circe, and Charles Kemp. Being inspired by the better type of music, l came out enthralled. Then I decided to see the other world of music. I was in luck for I was just in time for the matinee of that stage hit Merry-Go-Round which boasted of such stars as Louis Salmon, the crooner, Betty Ioyce Watson, the swooner, and Ierald Honeycutt, twinkle-toes. As I sat there In the huge auditorium, which was half filled, I was able to recognize Wesley Sullivan, Virginia Smith, Barbara Wheeless, and Travis Reiger in the chorus line. The orchestra was vaguely familiar for I saw Pete Rodriguez at the castanets, David Todd at the bassoon, and Charles Ing at the cymbals. I ventured next toward Madison Square Garden. As I entered the ice arena, I was delighted to see Margie Dugan, the ice shaver , cleaning off the ice for the night crowd. I stood fascinated as I watched Doris McQueen, Max Langston, and Bill Hamilton, the Tip-Top Trio limber up for the show schedules. I made my way over to the boxing ring to watch the world's champion, Pat Burnett, practice with his sparring mates Algie and Iohn Callahan. The referee, Iohn Scott Pendergrass, was conversing with reporter, lack fWalter Winchelll Pevey. At the swimming pool, Sharon and Shirley Caldwell had won a medal for keeping their feet in cold water the longest. Other contestants were Suann Brown, Mary Agnes Leonard, and Dolores Martin. The Miller sisters, Mary Iune and Peggy Sue were hard at work on the other side of the pool, trying to figure out how many drops of water were in the pool. David Long was the professor in charge of the exercise. David was employed by the Leo Murphy Institute. As I left Madison Square Garden, I bought a newspaper from Elma Grimes who ls still helping I. Rogerson with all that he undertakes. I glanced at the sports page. The headlines were that Maurice Fowler got fifty-million dollars for signing with that big-league football team, the Elton Dyal Dodgers, which boasts such all-time stars as Ieff Duncan, Dan Carter, William Curtis and Floyd Cobb. On the next page, I saw that the Girls National League Sewing contest was in full swing with Katherine Sutton as director. Those competing in the needle threading department were Rowena Tucker, Theresa Wallesch, Frankie Woodall, and Thelma Northcutt. The last to get the award for threading was Dorothy Richardson although Mary Vanita Harlow was a close runner-up. K Turning to the Society page, I read that Cecile Whalley finally landed Bernard Stratman and they had been married by Donald Seigel, the Iustice of the Peace. Iackie Vick, noted psychoanalyist, published the authentic fact that Laverne Bull was hopeless. I also read that Bill Secord, eminent pianist, had made his debut, lean Cammack assisting. The front page held the story that Nancy Numsen, archeolcgist, had found the tomb of Kllroy in Hackensack, New Iersey. Merle Thornton and Bobby Barnes had assisted fn this expedition. A notation at the bottom of the page brought tears to my eyes. Frances Clark had dfed of an ingrowing toenail after Robert Plaschke had performed an unsuccessful operation. Doyle Griffin, Melvin Miller, Randall Ray, and Iimmy Pakenham were pallbearers. Casting aside the new paper, I bought the popular magazine, Forever Yours edited by Pat Cauthron and Lou Ann Iones, and took a taxi, driven by Bobby Anglin, to the Rice Hotel, inherited by Billy Rice. I got my keys from the desk clerk, La Lita Akers, rode the elevator, operated by Imogene Dowden to my apartment. I took off my'shoes, created by Alfonzo Honea, and put on my lounging robe fashioned by Marjorie Robe, turned on the radio and settled back on my fGracel Simmons mattress. I twisted the dial to the local station in time to hear the Warner sisters, Bobbye and Betty, sing the Duz Soap Commercials. The announcer, Bristol Whittington, introduced the Alden Bailey Show. Wilma Grounds and Gene Ruddell sang a duet of Close the Storm Cellar, Mack, written by Iimmie Tune and Harold Gillespie. The outstanding comedian was Iammy Bob Rolls who is known for his mean little kid actions. Turning the dial a fraction brought forth the Truth or Oblivion, emencee Dean Brown. Nancy Collier was given oblivion because she refused to answer the question whether or not she and her husband Milton Molhusen argued. Reba Moore got a pie in her face when she did answer the question sent in by her husband, Danny Bedsole, asking whether or not Danny beat her. Changing stations, I heard the famed news analyst, Betty Midkiff, tear I. D. Beaty's new hat creation down with idle chatter. Betty announced that Mary Cheek was the new ambassador to Puerto Rico. The sponsor of the program was Nancy Shackelford's Sure Shingles for Shocks. Suddenly a news flash came over the airwaves. Rosemary Cerllano, cinema actress, finally won Trigger from Roy Rogers in a card game. Rosemary's heart throb, Claude Brantly. an extra in the movies, had eloped with circus performer Bernice Nivins. I turned off the radio and picked up the magazine that I had purchased. As I flipped the pages, my eyes rested on the cosmopolite of the month, MarylMcLeroy, who had been chosen because she had invented a threadless needle. Turning another page, I read an interesting article entitled Cancer Does Not Kill by Billy Fred Hanson, PhD. He dedicated the article to his most efficient stenographer, Pat Tinney. An article of surprising interest entitled What's This was contributed by Colleen Revel and Martha Richardson, deans of Yale and Harvard, respectively: Flipping back to the first page, my eyes rested upon a notation that Barbara Nabors and Peggy Bivins had written another stage hit Haupt and Sturdevant. They had chosen Bettie 'Iohnston and Mercedees Freeman, great vaudeville stars of '57 to play the lead. There was a notation that Norma lean Mackey had gotten Tom Welch of grapejuice farne, to sponsor her show, Mackey's Alley on the radio. 'Il:I:r prominent star was Senator Gene McClain. An article written by Betty Reynolds was in criticism of the nations having political parties to elect the president. e next few pages were dedicated to fashions. Sylma Megginson and Gay Pepper were modeling frocks made of the new rave, plastic fabrics perfected by chemists Hazel Nivins and Katie Harrison. The dresses were designed by Letha Nimmons and Carol Odom. I Blue prints of the new roofless and floorless houses were created by architects, Vernette Allen and Carolyn Battles. Carolyn Cannon experimented the plans by moving in the first home and was bed stricken because of exposure. The fixtures of the house were installed by Nell and Sue Iones Inc. The painting was done by Peggy and Ioyce Neumeyer, exclusively. Glancing over the advertlsem ents in the back of the book, I saw Bob Mlllorn's Milllons of Magnificent Marbles guaranteed to win for you, rain or shine. Taking up a whole page, was George Oufck's Double Quick Suds guaranteed to make spotted material plaid. Ioyce Owens sponsored an ad for her baseball bat that could be used as a croquet mallet, and Betty Rambo and Anne Price advertised their new biverigleg Rambo Price Toddy, five cents a quart. Iulianne Brownlow and Bonnie Fears were soliciting stock holders for their corporation to produce phonograp s w c did not require the use of a record. Tired of reading I decided to retire. Then I recalled my nostalgic mood that had overcome me earlier in the day. Realizing that it is a small wosd Ialftei ' - ' - . ex all, I continued to prepare for retiring. I used my Horton and Head Cleansing Cream which KCIY Gnd Erma I-69 had leflmed to PYUPUTS in the Ch9mlSfl'Y In I used my Elizabeth Carithers astringent. I decided to pin my hair with my Bill Bush Bob Pins before I put on my hairnet designed by Mayo Lanagan and guaranteed not to slip. I noticed that my nail polish was chipped. Perhaps I should change from the Milner Mighty Magnificent polish to Billy Cagles Color Change Coat. After all it was advertised as chip free and, too it would reflect the exact shade to blend with the ensemble worn. Iadr?red my Arthur George diamond ring, I had bought it from the Dorothy Gage and Io Ann Hoffman Diamond Shop. It is Gbouf lim0 lOl' me to Count SIIBBP- After all I has been U PUSY dGY- But I forgot to tell you that I saw Wendell Graves and Io Ann Carter's pictures on a billboard advertising Dorothy Hutchipq Hot Coffee. The signs had been put up by Kenneth Gogle and Charles Daniels who worked for the Mary Beth Hardin and Iackle Clark Sign Company. I C150 Pdssed the Bob Gasway and Natalie Clapp plumbing company where Glen Gipson and Frances Grigsby were employed. I saw Billie Sue Ballenqef and Loretta Iackson. They invented that baton which is self twirling. Well, I must get to sleep but instead of counting sheep, l'll just count the bones that Don McFarland has broken in rodeo shows.
