Class Prophecy Approaching footsteps moving down the long corridor, drawing NEARER, RESOUNDING LOUDER. The doctors conversed in hushed tones. I turned my face to the bare, padded wall, AND REMEMBERED. It could have been yesterday or a decade ago, OR PERHAPS TOMORROW. Time seemed irrelevant, almost non-exist¬ ent. That fateful night will ever burn in my memory. Through an unaccustomed contact with my trigonometry book, I discerned certain figures which stood out. They chal¬ lenged me! I muttered them under my breath. Finally, finding courage, I repeated them aloud. The result was unbe¬ lievable! By some unknown twist of fate, or an obscure scientific principle unheard of by this civilization, I had unbe¬ lievingly passed into Einstein ' s predicted Fourth Dimension, that of Time, merely by mentioning that queer and magical equation. And as part of this transformation, I had been loaned the gift of prophecy - for the figures portrayed before me were those of my CLASSMATES. These visions are now hazy and vague in my mind, but I shall attempt to show you as clearly as possible the future of the Class of ' 60, as I saw it. MICHAEL MOORMAN was portrayed to me as a destitute Doctor of Letters who had majored in American Government, and who was still trying to find a school where he could teach his revolutionary theories. I saw BRENDA CARTER as a new Hollywood glamour queen who had replaced Marilyn Monroe as number one attraction across the nation. LARRY WITT was shown as a successful and rich toupee manufacturer. JOYCE LAWHORN, who couldn’t make up her mind to marry, is now running a Lonely Hearts Club. EMMA JOHNSON, having too much fun to marry and settle down, is a shrewd and single businesswoman in Honolulu, and is dating a different man each night. WALTER RIELEY owns and manages the largest cattle ranch in Texas. SHIRLEY REYNOLDS, one of the fastest girls in the U.S., is a stewardess aboard a super¬ sonic jet airliner. MARIE ROSE now specializes in raising baby roses - both the sweet-smelling blooming kind, and the keep-you-awake-all-night-crying type. BARBARA KIRKWOOD is a Russian love-lorn columnist. SHERMAN WOOD now drives a new shool-bus with an automatic transmission. He still hasn ' t grown tall enough to reach the clutch. NANCY AGEE, a renowned concert pianist, has just returned from a successful tour of Europe. MARGIE CARTER, who dearly wanted to become a skating champion, now resides in northern Alaska and tries to teach her seven offspring the art. STEVE PINION, is currently compiling a new dictionary because WEBSTER ' S wasn ' t complete enough for him. JOYCE BOOTHE wanted to get married, but she is presently teaching a business course at Radford College. JANET CHAPMAN formerly presided over the Chapman Nursery, but now exercises jurisdiction over her own flock. ETHELENE CHILTON, teacher of drama and public speaking, is presently trying to teach a class of her boyfriends how to propose. BETTY KIRK¬ WOOD, a modern Florence Nightingale, is overseas nursing sick and wounded servicemen and loves every moment (AND every soldier) of her work. PAUL DOOLEY, with his instrumental program on television is giving Perry Como some real competition. JANICE CUSTER, a test pilot for Lockheed Aircraft, is currently exploring the dark side of the moon. THOMAS BARTON is now Chairman of the Barton-Havana Cigar Import Corporation, and consumes two boxes of his pro¬ duct daily. BARBARA BOOTHE, once a cheerleader, now teaches her family of girls to keep house while she watches basketball games on television. BOBBY BOBBITT now sits in his study writing a DO IT YOURSELF book for his first son. BARBARA ROSS is now a highly paid shoe-lace model on TV Channel 10. FRANCES WALDRON owns several thousand acres of bare, uninhabited Arizona desert-land, with no fences in sight. Believe it or not, this is her place of business. (Frances teaches married women how to drive.) OWEN WHEAT, Bedford ' s Chief of Police, has trouble enforcing the 70-mile-an-hour speed limit with his souped-up bicycle. ELEANOR ROOP is as surprised as everyone else by her sudden decision to become a lawyer. SARAH WILLIAM¬ SON was one of our engaged gals at MHS. We now find that she has been engaged fourteen times and is still looking. BARRY CAMPBELL is making a name for himself by marketing an entirely new tranquilizer drug. Tall and slim STEVE WILLIAMSON has rocked the television entertainment field by starring in a new series of western shows. FRANCES LAM presently coaches the football team at Georgia Tech. PATRICIA CHEEK has divorced eight husbands in ten years and has decided to stay single and live recklessly for a while. ARLENE HINER, a slim, trim candidate, is now in the Miss Universe contest. BETTY GILES takes dictation from Mr. McKee and helps him paddle bad little boys. ANN CHILTON wore the longest pony tail in her class at Montvale, but she is now secretly bald and wears a flashy red wig. ' f ■ ' { ' j i i Continued to page 52
