SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY While at the docks we saw a Navy ship come in. Aboard it was Lieut.-Com. joe David Holt, jr., who did not get enough of the Navy during the war. D. is not the only one who did not get enough mili- tary service. Bill Mclver is a Major in the Infantry and Bobby Gladden is still flying for the Air Corps. Imogene Elliott and Inez Lawing, still as inseparable as ever, are singing on the radio. Hayward McGee is a news com- mentator. Some of the class who always had a talent for art are finding that it isn't bad at all as a profession. Among those are Hugh Gladden, Frances Miller, and Mary Ann Elliott. Helen Wilkerson is now managing her own five-and-ten-cent store in Spartan- burg, South Carolina. Carl is the Mayor of Spartanburg. Several of our boys playing professional football are: Kenneth Toney, Thurston Foxx, and Ernest O'Dear. Others are play- ing professional baseball. They are Harold Buchanan, James Lee Jones, Bill Roland, and Calvin Webb. Charles Mask and Ray Condrey now own a chain of grocery stores. They are very successful. Phillip Odom is a con- ductor for the C. C. 84 O. Railroad. Five of the girls in our class are models: Betty jo Flack, Edna Parker, Colleen Styles, Virginia Penland, and Wilma Wat- kins. Madame Zolga seemed to be such a capable woman that I decided to ask her a question she couldn't answer-just to see if I could stump her. I asked if any of my classmates were in Europe, and if so, what they were doing. To my surprise she told me. Margaret Ledbetter, now a famous scientist. is touring Europe giving lectures on 'The Discovery of the Un- known Elementf' With her is Theta Payne, the Florence Nightingale of our day. Other nurses from our class are Frances England, Dorothy Dean Burgin, Irene Hunter, and Maxine Jarrett. Raymond Hawkins is the head doctor at johns Hop- kins, and his head nurse is Mary Nichols. Barry Buchanan is a noted surgeon. We had a number of musically inclined people. Elizabeth Ann Stepp is now the soprano soloist with the Metropolitan Opera Company. Thurlene Murray, who has accomplished much with her piano, is preparing to tour North and South Amer- ICQ. Florence Buckner, Louise Hollilield, and Hattie McNeely are fashion de- signers in New York City. Bernice Bow- man, Kathleen Head, and Bernice Eng- land have opened up a very swanky dress shop. Evelyn Fleming and Kathryn Evans are still playing basketball. They are work- ing as athletic directors for various girls' camps. Ann Tainter owns a chain of suc- cessful drug stores, and James Ledbetter is the proud owner of Shorty's Soda Shoppe. . . . . Bong, Bong, Twelve bells, I had no idea it was so late. I got up, paid Madame Zolga, and stumbled out of her presence, in a daze of facts which I de- sired to impart to my classmates, but which I knew they'd never believe.
