A last look in the Crystal Ball and what do we see!! Three boys playing loving bumble bees. Messrs. John Morris, Robert Joyner, and Calvin Roane are fighting over Miss Neva Moses, the quiet one. So far it is a tie between Robert and Calvin, since John is really more interested in his drawings than in anything else. The Crystal Ball is a little shook up; so I guess I’d better hop out and quit the scene for now. It has been a pleasure for me to keep you up to date and pass data on the happenings. This is Marva Ashby, as Madam Rose Louise, saying, “So long until another graduating class passes my way.” SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS MARVA ASHBY Treasurer BURLEY ANDREWS Sergeant at Arms DONALD GEORGE Vice-President JUANITA MARSHALL Business Manager LYDIA SPADY Secretary DOROTHY ROANE Assistant Secretary MILDRED JORDAN Chaplain

I SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY A look into the Crystal Ball with Gypsy Rose Louise. Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Come in and sit down with your money belts. Dig the dope on the future of the Graduating Class of 1958. Miss Lydia Spady, a great opera star in downtown No Tune, has her own opera house. Her manager is Mr. William Chapman. He keeps her busy trying to persuade her that being his wife is more important than being a singer. , Mr. Rutherford Sample resides in Africa with Messrs. James Upshur, James Benn and Frederick Reid. They are trying to get a license to manufacture woolen blankets for local use. Unfortunately they don’t know Natives don’t need woolen blankets in Africa. We see in Carrie Thomas’ Shoe Shop Misses Alice Harmon, Mildred Beckett and Annie Church. They are trying to figure out how Miss Thomas has such a fine shop catering to people only three feet tall. To solve this problem Miss Thomas shows them a sign over the door which says, “This shop is especially designed for midgets.” Mr. Paul Sample, a popular boy, back in high school now has a home for the aged. His staff includes such employees as Misses Ruth Spady, Dorothy Roane and Gloria Wilson. Secretly they are about to go out of business from a lack of old age patients. Miss Juanita Marshall has just returned from a tour of Paris with her husband the great composer, Mr. Donald George. They have three year old twins Donald and Ronald. The boys weigh eighty seven pounds each. They can’t seem to keep a baby sitter. Their last nurse, Miss Alice White, fled when the twins threatened to scalp her as the Indians do on television. Mr. Clarence Walker an All American football player has retired. He now raises buzzards for Thanksgiving. He has employed Misses Willie Church, Virginia Rogers and Betty Harris, but he is trying to clip Miss Harris’s wings into becoming his life partner. Miss Maxine Smith now heads a modeling agency. Her other models are Misses Marva Ashby, Sylvia Bacote, and Eugenia Spady. They call themselves “The Plump Models.” Well! Messrs. Burley Andrews and Johnnie Rowley tried the profession of ministry but they both got kicked out of church. Reason: They were flirting with the missionaries and keeping all the money. Miss Beulah Floyd has her own dancing studio in which she teaches all dances. Her specialists are Mr. Allen Baker, tap dancer; Mr. Roosevelt Spady, walk dancer; and Miss Essie Hunt, mambo dancer, s Miss Floyd calls her studio “The Cozy Fixed up Bombstand.” Messrs. Alvis Adair and Charles Hallett, two of our former basketball stars are spending a quiet vacation in California. They were sent there by mistake. Mr. Adair, a bird catcher, and Mr. Hallett, an oystershell roller, are looking for diamonds. They’re trying to impress Miss Carrie Gunter and Miss Mattie Church, respectively, so as to win the ladies’ hands in marriage. It is a surprise to see Miss Margaret Trower and Mr. John Francis, now known as Mr. and Mrs. John Francis. Mrs. Francis wants to spend her honeymoon in Kentucky; asked why she replied, “I am tired of seeing green grass; I want to see blue grass.” Mrs. Frank Holland, the former Miss Margaret Johnson, has finally hooked her lover. She runs an unlicensed bureau called “Catch and Hold Your Man.” Miss Delois Smith is enrolled trying to catch her favorite beau, who is a champion wrestler. Mildred Jordan an “A” student, is enrolled trying to catch Mr. Henderson Rowley, who has several medals for spear fishing. What an inspiring school!! At this time Messers. Joseph Nottingham, Sincroe Beckett, and Raymond Savage are arguing about who can “Walk” best. So far, Joseph “hops” good, Sincroe “runs” better, and Raymond “walks” best. These boys actually ride the freight train so much that they’ve forgotten how to use their feet or legs. Misses Ethel Giddens and Mary Scarborough teamed up as women wrestlers have just toured the world. They were accompanied by two nationally known male wrestlers, Mr. Robert Lindsey and Mr. Melvin Fox. They went around the world in a specially built airplane. What a fall that might have been. They are all going on diets soon, but they have been saying that for twenty years. Oh! yea, Miss Doris Upshur who was a quiet girl in “58” has flipped her coins. She bets tails with Miss Beatrice Spady over Mr. Wardell Nottingham. Doris says “Tails she wins or there’ll be no heads at all.”
