CLASS PROPHECY JUNE 1970 The members of the class of 1950 had its 20th reunion on the above date at the newly erected $600, 000 high school in Northampton County. The meeting was called to order by Judge Elois Spady, now Federal Judge for the state of New Hampshire. Devotions were led by the Rev. Eugene Waters, and the minutes were read by Pauline Wright who is now secretary to the Dean of Men at Howard University. Next was the Roll Call. Many pleasant memories were revived as familiar names were called. First was Abraham Wescott who is now pitching for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Alvin CoUins, Ernest Rogers and Clyde Garrison are completing their Ph.D. at Howard University. Paul Hallet and his wife, Mrs. Hallet, the former Marian Powell, now own one of the largest ranches in Texas where they raise the world’s fastest race horses and pure bred Shorthorn beef cattle. Julius Bailey is employed as their head cow puncher. Our famous artists, Robert Brickhouse and Frisell Harmon are npw exhibiting their Masterpieces in the New York Museum of Art: they are portraits of George Jordan, inventor, and singer, Jinella Baker. The Flat Foot Circus, owned by Charles Joyner, has the following persons partici¬ pating in the acts; Robert Allen, clown; Hattie Goodwin, tight rope walker; Helen Trower as the Fat Lady; and the thrill of the Midway that you would not want to miss is the Meat-Chop- Sisters doing the Huckle Buck. They are none other than Deloris Mason, Marion Giddens, and Bessie Robinson. Frances Press is owner of one of the largest chains of beauty salons in the country. Working with her are Daniel Sample as head shampooer, Maurice Wynder as comb presser and Louis Rogers as hair presser. Natalie Beckless and her husband Roosevelt Townsend, are coybwners of the largest night club on Broadway. They are now featuring that famous blues finger, Cloresia Hargrove, accompanied by Vernessa Fitchett on her alto sax.

In Hollywood Eleanor Ames, Ira George, Alvin Sample and Elnora Savage have just completed the MiUion Dollar Academy Award Production, Booby Trap Baby . The Week ' s Taxi Company, owned and operated by Louise Weeks employs Alice Collins and Mary Savage as drivers. It is rumored that their fleet of hydrogen mobiles are equipped with two way radios and jet motors. Eugene Harmon, Editor-In-Chief of the Ebony has frequently been trying to expose the fortune telling business of Swami Moses Wilkins. We are wondering how this will affect the career of his wife, the former Miss Tabitha Trower who is now singing in Hollywood.

Mae Mapp has just sold her large shrubbery farm in Harevalley and opened up a Lady ' s Dress Shoppe in the town of Exmore.

After having completed discussions on the affairs of our former classmates, we found that there was no further business we adjourned to meet again at Northampton County High School, June 6, 1971.
