In witness whereof we, the said Seniors, do hereunto set our hand and seal this the 8th dav of Mav 1934. SENIOR NORMAL CLASS. P R O P H E C Y It was in the year of our Lord 1949. and was a lovely May morning. YVe sat thinking of other May mornings such as this in the years gone by, and our thoughts went hack to our graduation day in Montreat, a day when eighteen dignified seniors marched down the aisles of the Anderson Auditorium all eager to be out in the world—little suspecting what the future would bring forth. Today we were sitting in an office. On the door one might read, Miriam Altec, Private Secretary to the President, and who was the president ? you may ask. Well, on the opposite door one would read, “Becky Seafler. President. National Broadcasting Company. 'Phis was what fifteen short years had brought to us. We had been very fortunate since our departure from Mon- treat. and. wondering how life was treating the rest of our old classmates, we decided to find out by television. 'Phis was not quite so difficult as it may seem, because all we had to do was look through the files and get each classmate’s dial number, then lower the lights and turn a tiny switch, when buzz—there was Louise Alexander in her office at St. Luke’s Hospital, New York. She was very grave and stern but no less attractive than the Louise of ’34. A nurse came quietly in and spoke; Louise nodded, rose, and went calmh toward the operating room to maintain, or to add to her nationwide reputation as an eminent surgeon. A turn of the dial, and the scene was immediately transferred to a large plantation in Georgia. There were negroes in the cotton fields which surrounded the big. well kept colonial home. There, reading quietly, in the shade of an oak tree was Virginia Braswell. Coming up the walk was the Colonel” himself so we left the master and mistress to their conversation and to their peaceful life, which was very suggestive of the tran- quil, pre-war South! Back to New York. There is an office with secretaries and stenographers on all sides, we saw Mary Mellette, successor to (). O. McIntyre, getting all the New York “gossip” with ef- ficiency equal to that she showed in Montreat. If New York means success, then the class of ’34 i quite successful, for here we found two more of our classmates. Who? None other than Ruth Coleman and Inez Galloway in the Presbyterian Hospital where, as one might expect, Ruth is sup- erintendent of Nurses, and Inez serves as dietition. 'Phe next classmate we found in Hollywood. There in the center of the set we saw Grace Wages, who had scored success, and had surpassed Marie Dressier. Still in California we turned to Stanford Inivcrsity. We could sec Cora Belle Orr. who had attained the position of Dean, and Louise Crawford, the Latin professor. Louise was pacing the floor and her “sermon” went something like this: “Cora Belle, you know you’re working too hard ; you just must rest, or you’re going to lose—. Since we knew it would be her “voice” Cora Belle would lose, we hurried on. 'Phis time we turned to Annapolis where we saw Sarah Bur- rows. Now Sarah had married a professor at the Naval Acad- emy only five years ago today, and they seemed to be still honeymooning Turning the dial to another number, we were surprised to find our old pal in Chicago. Surely she couldn’t be a gang- ster! But what’s that? Outside of Chicago’s largest Opera House we read, flashing on and off. the following sign: “Jessie Lee Bcamguard. Famous Dramatic Artist. Makes First Per- sonal Appearance Here Tonight. Even though she is in great demand, she always keeps Thursday evenings free to hear Rudy Yallee’s program. Pile next scene was in Florida where we saw Erin Turner, head of the largest Kindergarten in the South, surrounded by many bright faced children. Ah. another of our classmates, Mildred Chandler, and she seemed to be engrossed in blue prints. We weren’t surprised to find that her Art Gallery had overflowed and these were plans for a larger and more modern one. You know she now devotes all of her time to the collecting of Concert Artist’s por- traits. At that moment Becky turned off the machine saying. Well that’s that! From New York to California, and from Alex- ander to Wages.” Yes, but you skipped Means, Kirby, Greenwood, and Hampton.” “Right you are, but, they don’t seem to be around!” Let me look in the foreign files. Y'es, here is Hampton. Her office is 1275 London Times Building, London, England. O. K., let’s go across the Atlantic. Ah. here we arc at the door. D ok! Miss Bertha Jean Hampton, Editor-in-Chici of the “London Times”! Not bad, so let’s go in. Sh! there she is checking proofs, but she is entirely too busy to be bothered with us, so let’s be traveling. Who’s next? “Georgia Greenwood—Missionary—one hundred and fifty miles south east of Yarkard, China. YVhee. she’s been places, let’s follow. Here we go. Paris, Moscow, Yarkard, and here we arc. Do you see her? No—yes, there, see that group of natives? She is in the center. Don’t they look happy? and Georgia seems to be equal- ly as happy as she is making them.” “She surely docs, but where do we go from here? “To Sunny Italy, and guess who is there? “Nellye Means and—of course, but l« ok, the maid is speak- ing to some visitors, telling them that the couple have gone to Rome for a short visit, to rest. Well, we won’t follow; we know they are happy.” “And from this warm land we go to—. The North Pole, and it’s just time for our weekly report from Addic Mae Kirby’s expedition. Look! we’re ten minutes late: she’s talking now, listen. YVe arc recording climatic conditions here at the pole, and hope in the near future to have some definite comments to make regarding our idea that the land of the world is gradually moving southward. So until next week at this time, good night.” “Good night Kirby. Now where do we go from here? “To WORK!” CLASS PROPHET’S. Miriam Altec and Becky Seafler.
