oe I Wx L all Hearing the drone of airplanes, I discovered two former classmates returning in their airplanes to spend their holidays in Newton. They were Doris Moser, famous amateur aviatrix, and Bill Lefevers, who belongs to the Army Air Corps. I noticed Jean Corpening on the New York stage, playing the part of Juliet. In Hollywood, Gilbretta Furr was working as stand-in for Ginger Rogers. Over at Blackburn, I saw the following employed as teachers: Annie Kaylor, Home Economics teacher, Vivian Allen, Public Speaking teacher, Martha Beatty, English teacher, and Elise Carter, French teacher. Observing someone engaged as owner of a large plantation in Porto Rico. I found that it was Senor Buddy Yount. Also quite a distance from home, I saw Dot Steele vacationing in Hawaii. and Kat Schrum, one of a very few women ambassadors, in France. On the outskirts of Newton appeared three large farms. One was owned by Felix Austin, another by Burton Reitzel, and the last was a chicken farm owned by Forrest Long. A number of progressive business men were established at Startown: Ever- ette Long was running the Gold Star Grocery Company-a very large concern: Frank Caldwell was editing a big newspaper, The Startotun Observer: Sidney Schrum was the manager of the new telegraph ofHce: Wade Sigmon was pro- prietor of the Town Pharmacy: and Bobby Ervin was manager of the Imperial Picture Show. Mr. Jimmie Isenhower, former big league ball player, and Mrs. Isenhower, the former Miss Mary Hester Clark, were buying tickets for a cruise to Havana on the steamship line Torador, owned by Alvin McGill. Then I discovered Sam Moose, world famed lawyer, addressing the students of Harvard University, where I saw Henry Deal and Sam Mauney, both out- standing professors, listening attentively in the audience. At her country estate, Dot Morrison, certified Public Accountant, was rest- ing while off work, reading the best selling novel, Off with the Breeze, which was written by Martha Capps. Over in the Ritz School for Girls on College Avenue, Lee Annah Power, dietitian, was talking to the dean, Floy Sipe. Shifting my gaze, I saw Bobby Gaither, owner of United Cotton Mills. in his office, talking to Farrell Gilbert, who just returned from playing the leading role in Barefoot Boy. Also in Mr. Gaither's oflice was J. C. Rudisill. his attorney. As my vision began to fade, I saw Dot Arndt doing work as a stenographer for a large corporation in Pumpkin Center. Freidrick Simmons was preaching at the Conover Baptist Church, and out in Texas, Charles Lutz was purchasing cattle for his dairy. The last people I saw were A. D. Harrison, Charles Patterson, and Joe Hendrix, who were at work in Baltimore. Charles Patterson was engaged in painting a duplicate of his famous picture The Red Main, while a few blocks away A. D. Harrison and Joe Hendrix were instructing pupils at their physical development school. As the sun disappeared from the calendar, I returned to realization and' beheld the date no longer as 1949 but 1939. FRANCES CLIFTON, Class Prophet. Page Twenty Cdlfdllilidf J39
