and that they had a small son who sometimes went, too. This left only Inez Williford. Harold and Betty told us that she was living in Raleigh with © that good looking red headed husband of hers, So we decided to stop there on our way back to Newport News. It was not hard to find their place which was a modern glass bungalow with a helicopter on the roof. Two of her children, one a red headed girl and another a brown haired boy ran to greet us. Then Inez came to see what was up. When she saw us, she invited us in. She was such a chubby, happy little Mother that we couldn't help smiling. We stayed to dinner and such a perfect dinner as it was. My mouth began to water and I had an un- comfortable empty feeling in my stomach. I began to stir and it.was at that time that Musie shook me and told me it was nearly time for supper. I did not realize that I had fallen asleep in that comfortable chair. My beautiful dream exploded right before me, but I was glad to have had such a wonderful insight into the future. I hope my dream will come true.

Class Prophecy GOOOQOMOOO By Doris ALEXANDER One very hot afternoon after a hard day in school followed by an exciting game of soft- ball, I was so dead tired that I slipped into the club room and sank down in an easy chair. It was cool. I relaxed and was so comfortable that I could feel myself going to sleep. The next thing I knew it was a beautiful, clear warm day in the year 1955. I was strolling down Fifth Avenue feeling lonely and blue. I had done a hard day’s work modeling and my boss, the famed Mr. Powers, told me I could have a three months’ vacation. Wondering what I would do, an idea flashed into my mind. I would visit each and every one of my old class mates. I had not seen them since way back in 1945, I went home and packed up and got ready for parts unknown. I took out my yacht which was anchored at Hudson Harbor and sailed into Newport News. Leaving my yacht, I went on the streamlined street car to Musie Andleton’s home. At first she did not recognize me because I was not the same old gal she used to know back in school. The beauty expert in New York had changed me completely. When I explained who I was, she exclaimed, ““Why, Doris Alexander, am I happy to see you after all these years.” She told me she was a typist in the shipyard office and that she wasn’t doing so hot either. I told her what I had planned to do and she wanted to go along with me. We took off in Musie’s helicopter and flew down to Morganton. We hovered over our old Alma Mater for just a few minutes. Every- thing was new and very modern in this Post- war World. Even the stores in town were so modernized that we could hardly find a familiar place. We landed and went into Kibler’s drug store. There sitting across from us was a tall, lovely lady who turned out to be Iona Baggett. She was amazed at seeing us there. She was happily married and living in Burke County. She toid us she was working in an office at the Drexel Furniture factory. I asked her for news of our old classmates, She told us that Betty Bradley was now a famous movie star and that she had changed her name. She was a very beautiful woman and a talented actress. ‘Next on our list was Thelma Brown. We had heard she was a nurse so we flew down to a big hospital in Kinston. We asked to see Thelma. The Head nurse told us that Thelma was a very successful and a very popular nurse. She could make the people recover rapidly with her cute ways and winning smiles. Thelma came down to meet us . We were surprised to see a ring on her left hand. She shyly told us that she was engaged to a doctor. She was so happy that she hardly knew what she was doing so we bade her good luck and went on our way. We then flew down to Elizabeth City to see our tall lanky friend Shelton Cartwright. His mother told us that he was in South Africa, We exclaimed, “South Africa! What is he doing down there?” She was beaming with pride and told us that he was a well-known chemist. She showed us a picture of Shelton, Lo and behold, he had a beard! We thanked her and told her we would visit him there later. Then we set sail for Detroit, Michigan. We had heard that Rosalee and Rassie Peterson were working there in an automobile factory. Just as we landed we saw Rosalee. She took us with her to meet Rassie, her husband, who was work- ing at the factory. He showed us around. The beautiful streamlined cars of pastel shades thrilled us. No sooner had we taken off again than we arrived in California. What a small world! We were so hungry that we went to the Brown Derby. While we were waiting for our orders to be filled, a rather tall dark man with a little moustache came up to us and said, “Pardon me, but haven’t we met before?” We recognized him at once as Harold Whisenant. How strikingly handsome he looked in his uniform! He was a pilot on a passenger plane that flew from Hollywood to New York. He told us that his wife always flew with him when she was not busy making pictures
