PROPHECY As I was sleeping I had the most peculiar dreams that anyone could have. Immediately 1 turned on the light and jotted down the vision that had appeared. The first thing I saw was Fannie Gray Wade teaching school, but tired of that occupation, she began to give dancing lessons. Mary Edna Pope after four years of faithful and efficient work was teaching poor heathens in India. Baxter Piper, having developed a great skill in training horses, was exhibit- ing them to packed grand stands; his most capable rider was none other than Gladys Murray. Lois Shuf- fler, after receiving a degree from Meredith College and studying in Europe, appeared as an outstanding educator of the newer methods of teaching. Eloise Warren had become a stylish milliner in New York City. She had more customers than she could serve although she charged $25 for every hat she designed. Katherine Allen decided that her talent lay in the med- ical field. She did well in her studies and the letters M. D. have been added to her name. She seemed to be a popular physician with a growing practice. Elsie Mae Crabtree chose her profession early in life and had become the operator of “The Madame Queen”. Estelle Jackson thought housekeeping was her forte; therefore she accepted a position in a large summer hotel where she was earning enough to remain in idleness during the winter. Doris Poole had become a dress maker in St. Louis where she was making many artistic and expensive costumes. Lewis Smith had become an outstanding astronomer in the country who had found an accurate method for finding the distance of the stars. He was anticipating a visit to the moon. Annie Grey Boyette was a competent and highly esteemed book-keeper in a large publishing house. Ethel Shackleford was a glamour girl in Hollywood. She had married L. T. Averette, a most promising movie producer. Haywood Lowery, with ever a smiling face, Was driving the bakers cart, He seasons pies with clove and mace, And sells sweet cakes and tarts. Mildred Sullivan had founded a refuge for stray cats and dogs. She and her institution had become so famous that her pets were capturing all the prizes. Doris Daniels had a large fortune left her by her uncle. She established an Old Maid’s institution. Joyce Roberts had become a famous governess in a wealthy family of South America. She looked more like a queen. David Humphery had at last reached the height of his ambition, playing a cornet in Kay Kyser’s Orchestra. When Dorothy Crabtree had re- ceived her Diploma of Nursing and was deeply loved by all her patients and friends. Hubert Perry had be- come a public speaker and an authority in the business of advising what occupation a short boy should enter. Martha Lee Cook was a famous poet and author. Bill Rogers had become a great machinist. His chief oc- cupation was making machines which help scholars to learn and to remember. L. W. Baker and George MacMillan, Brigadier Generals, were inspecting each camp. Don Graham was a successful band leader with Eugene Allen as his crooner. They were playing on Broadway seven nights to the week. Juanita Wal- ters studied five years at the conservatory in Boston and later became instructor in the conservatory in Paris. Ruth Whitley was making her debut on the stage in New York. Carl Lane concluded that it was best for him to stay in his home town where he built up a large merchantile business and taught a large class in surveying. Edith Smith was a great artist. She was very distinguish among the American people. J. L. Allen and Bill Gupton, having studied law at Harvard, had become quite famous in tfreir profession. Bill was serving as Chief Justice of the United States. Mary Lou Ferguson studied Interior Decorating and was quite an authority in her profession. She had a contract to decorate all the schools in North Carolina. On highway 70A we found David Wadford operating a super-super filling station. He catered only to people with money. Doris Barker had become a prominent announcer over N. B. C. Her voice was heard daily. As I walked down Fayetteville Street in Raleigh, I met two of my old teachers, Mrs. Walters and Mrs. Johnston. Mrs. Walters said, “We were just talking about your success in obtaining the contract to build the Fayette Skyscraper in Raleigh.” “Who, me? Erma Barlow!” My dream was so real that 1 was frightened when I awoke to find it was a fancy — a dream.
