Prophecy Vvhen l was a student in North Charleston High School. my one aminition was to see New York City. That's why l finally saved enough money. after ten years, to purchase a ticket on the Champion lor the hig city. Alter arriving l lound l needed money to see the sights, so l immediately went to the New York Times to try lor a ioh as reporter. I was admitted to the editor's oliliice and lound none other than .l. C. Hudson laehind the desk. He gave me a joh right away. My iirst assignment was the Stork Clula. While I was sitting at a tahle ordering a Zombie, l saw all the men rise to their leet and gasp as a gorgeous girl came in. She was swarthed in mink and looked very lamiliar. She came over to my tahle and l recognized her as none other than Betty Strickland. Betty was telling me almout our former classmates, Wesley Orvin. who had olatained his D.D. and is a great preacher at Midland Park, and Bots Myers, who is a great evangelist traveling all over the world spreading the gospel. .lust then two distinguished gentlemen came over to our talnle. They were Ed ntlolson lin Roberts and Wendell Murray, great Broadway comedy hit. We ordered our meals, which were lrrought to us lay the head chel, Donald McDowell. He is very famous lor his rare menus. My next assignment was to interview two lamous scientists who were working on a rocket ship to Mars. l entered the lain lull ot mysterious gadgets and found Professors Charles Shull and Klien Beach working madly on the ship. My interview was very successful lx-'cause l learned almout more of the celelarities from North Charleston. They were Dr. James Butler, who owns his own hospital. .lere Weidner is head nurse with Barlaara Holland, Peggy Hines, and Marilyn Hill teaching future nurses. lNorth Charleston sure has advanced sciencell Editor Hudson sent me down to the docks to interview that learless African hunter, Fred flaring 'em lnack alivel Germann. l boarded his ship and mn into Captain Rohert Wheeless. who had piloted the trusty cralt through perilous waters. l went to Fred's calvin and found Amee Sease, his secretary, giving a report ol their trip to Betty Harrelson, who financed the daring expedition. . When l returned to the office, Madam Georgianna Schultz, ol' the Ballet de Ruse. was there and told me that Betty Flowers and Muriel Edge had opened their Montague Avenue Mortuary hack in North Charleston. Betty Falnian is their receptionist and sells llowers on the side. Madam Schultz and I lunched at the Waldorf where we were joined lay Ann Garrett and Elise Crane, great daredevil pilots. Ann informed me that Hazel Easterlin has many rackets now'-she is the tennis champ. Another celelxrity came in while we were talking. It was Count .lack Harley, the ladies' man, who is known lor the clothes he wears. Count Harley told us of his recent visit out Vvest with David Coghlan, champion hog caller: and Zernie Knight, who owns a dude ranch in Arizona. .lust then the lloor show started featuring Miss Betty Prine, guest soloist oi the Metro- politan Opera. The last feature ol the show was the guest performance of VV. Jessie Gillaert. the Filth Avenue Hilllmilly. Red HKentucky Gamble accompanied him on the lmass Fiddle. l was returning to the ottice when l decided to stop in a large department store. Alice Keyser, Bea Grimes, Lydia Leonard. and Mary Agnes Heape were modeling clothes. l was talking to Carolyn Kirk, Hoor lady, when l noticed a mysterious character eyeing the customers. Vvhen she turned toward me, l recognized Barloara Ross, master detective. I visited a court to interview Supreme Court Judge Edward Stall talso an ace pilot, a few days ago. Richard Howard, the lighting lawyer lrom California, was pleading a case. His client, Captain Clarence Russ, was lacing accused ot reckless llying. lt seems he landed on Louise Salvo's wealthy estate, ruining her garden. Nlaxine Forte was court stenographer. The great poli- ticians from South Carolina-Louise Faluian. Bernice Caddell. C. B. Whaley, and Perry Cannady composed part ot the jury. That night l went to the lights. The main event was the performance ol William Mountain Kelly, heavyweight boxer. His opponf-nt was none other than Marion Holselrrerg. Bobby Smith, sports editor lor the Times. was taking pictures ol the tight. l gazed through the anxious spectators and saw many personalities. Among them were Joe Ann Kirk, Coach of basket hall at Vassar: Rculaen Reeves, owner ol the great race horse. Plug: Juanita Bowen. figure skater ot the movies: Lottie Cook. editor ol Vogue Nlagazineg and J. D. Gamble, physical director at Clemson. .l. D. told me that Doris Lee was in Congress now speaking for prohibition. Martha Hudson. who owns a model agency, had a ring side seat. While resting in the oltice one day, l glanced through the advertisements of the paper and noticed Margie Varn's reducing machine company ad. An ad lor Madame Betty Dandridge's School ol Languages was also there. For my vacation I returned to North Charleston and visited the mansion ol Peggy Lee Bell. Her next-door neighbor was Jesslyn Meads, stenographer to Buddy Tomkinson and Charles Wehh. wealthy Broad Street brokers. It seems Ted Hoover has taken entire control ol the paper mill where Sue Hawkins is head ol the employment ollice. Margaret Driggers is manager ot the huge soda fountain at Calilrs. l went hack to North Charleston High and found Louise Cope was physical director. Alter returning to the Alma Mater I realized that all ol' my classmates ol '49 had made good. l hope their future will continue to he as prosperous. --LUCILE RAY. . .J
