Kay Mitchell, who wanted to go to all the colleges, spent a year at each one. She finally decided that Mt. Olive was the best, so she came home. Now she is following in her father's footsteps as a piclde executive. Helen Bazemore who went to State College to study textiles now has a Erm larger than Dupont.

the class pnophecy As I gazed into the magic eightball, I saw the lives of my classmates, ten years since graduation, unfolding before my eyes. The first peer in the eightball revealed an ultra-modern Reducing Salon, run by Austin Anderson who is now a trim one-hundred and Efty pounder. My next glance showed that Gene Wolfe had transformed the Wayne Theater into a successful night club with Mabel Cannon as the featured entertainer. Gene had made so much money in the business that he hired Carl Ginn to keep his books. HE kept his money! Lo and behold, who do I see nowl Oscar J ones, the singing cowboy, and his sidekick, Ruth Herring, singing over station MOI-IS. 'I'he rising stars are accompanied by Boyd Wilson on his trusty guitar, His voice has not failed him either. Jane Andrews Smith's training as a nurse is put to good use, now that she has eight little Smiths. Mary Ann Cooke decided Tuffy wasn't coming home, so she moved to Georgia and opened a theater where Tuffy proudly wears his uniform as ar1 usher. Anne Carol Broadhurst, another roving girl, is now a part of the Greatest Show on Earth . She is a barker for a Fat Lady side show. June Wolfe is now the country's leading jockey. He has ridden seven Kentucky Derby winners, which brought in quite a bit of money. The owner of the winning horses, who is none other than Kenneth Best, also made his fat bank accotmt even fatter. Then who to my eyes should appear but Glenn Daughtry, running with all his might toward the goal for a Washington Redskin touchdown. While on the sidelines the assistant coach, David Sideburn Taylor, jumped and shouted with joy! ln the grandstand I saw Rosa Lee Goodson and Helen Bland, Rosa Lee is a make-up artist for a movie studio, and Helen is now a famous model, having got her start as Beauty Queen of Mt. Olive High School. Doris Cashwell is very busy as manager of a chain of department stores, while her husband stays home and keeps house. Mary Jo Wiggins, who loves to crochet, now has her own business and employs Joyce Anderson who never quite made it to the altar or to Rex. She did not heed Gather Ye Rosebuds while ye may . . .
