Class Prophecy Here I am in typing class again working as usual for the Annual , This time it's a prophecy to write. As if anyone could prophesy regarding this group of Seniors. When the Senior Class elected me to write a prophecy concerning our class members. I knew that I was too incompetent to do so. I tried and tried to picture our class members in later years. but finally gave up and sought some outside aid. One day I heard that VVarner Davenport was hanging around Pennebaker's Filling Station, NVhat better opportunity to find out about our futures! I gathered the class togther and we went up to see him. He was in a very congenial mood and before we knew it he was in the midst of telling our futures. First, he singled out Sue Gibson. You , he said, want to be a beautician but the cards say marriage is right around the corner, but don't feel hurt about it, you can beautify your little Pages . Next, Louise Leonard C better known as Shorty J stepped forward to hear what fate might bring her in the coming years. You , he said, are planning on being a secretary for your rich Uncle in Virginia . ' Puckett 'seemed to be next in line. Deb started out .by saying. You are planning on going to College to get your Bachelor's Degree in Science. You'd better watch out or you might be a Bachelor in Life instead of Science. Betty Goatley fthe Queen of our classl next stepped forward to hear what the future might hold for her. The cards , he said, show that you have a very bright future and will marry the King of Spain and live your declining days as a lovely Queen. Next was VVill Ed Warren. I see vou as a Modern Billv Sunday, travel- ing from place to place stirring people's souls with your resounding voice. As usual .Timmy Morrill was getting very impatient with waiting and pushed to the front of the line. No one objected to Jimmy's pushing himself up. I see you Deb said to Jimmy, in overalls and work shoes, working from daylight to dark raising crops, milking cows and putting your six children to bed. By that time Jimmy had fallen back. He had heard enough. After Jimmy's future had been forecast, the rest of the class was rather re- luctant to go forward. Finally Ruth Womack gathered enough courage to step up and hear her future. As Deb looked at the cards he laughed a little and said to her, Y ou are destined to a life of sewing buttons on Coates at home and ina factory . Ruth backed off wishing she had never gone forward. Everybody was now definitely hanging back after those last two predidions. Then Ioe Burchard threw back his shoulders and literally waded in . Don't be afraid, Joe, said Deb. I see nothing but pleasant days ahead for you. You fContinued on next pagej
