CLASS PROPHECY Madame Fabisinski, and assistants, Rajahs Elebash, Cowart, and Galey, have gaze l into the Crystal Ball to prognosticate, foretell, jtredict, and divine the notorious future of the Class of ' 41, the ninth wonder of the world. Ah, the mists are rising, the clouds are parting; a clap of thunder, and there in the brilliance of Zeus stands Bobby Kahn, the weatherman of Gravelswitch, Kentucky. 1960 will bring great news to Angelo Ruggerio, owner of the famous Donald H. McKee Restaurant. He was eleoteil president of American Restaurants for the third consecutive year. Other officers selected were Otto Pace, Kenneth Marchetti, and Pellar Potter. In the distance we perceive Miss Beatrice Wilson, who applied the old adage Go west, young man! to her own sex and wound up owner of Wilson ' s Beauty Salon of Hollywood. While we were in this section we ran into our two favorite comedians, Fred Atherton and Frank Barrow, now starring in the new screen version of Hellzapoppin, being directed by Ralph Bledsoe. Looking into Central Hospital of Xew York we see head surgeon William Pierce giving a lecture to nurses Agnes Hogan, June Berger, Josephine Bobe, and Eliza Ard. We find that Grace Earnest and Yvonne Lee are members of the P. H. S. faculty in 1960. In that building that we had so much trouble seeing through, we find editor-in-chief Margie Teate, with assistant- editor Lee Howell, looking over the staff of the Xew York Times. They are Polly Sherrill, foreign correspondent, Maiy Riley, circulation manager, and Ellen Price, art editor. Alta Noms and Louise Odom are secretaries to the editor-in-chief. (Imagine having two secretaries!) Another P. H. S. graduate in the Great West is Tommy Chamblee, now president of Western Union (not for cowboys). In i)ort at San Diego lies the submarine Troskeii on which Lts. Frank Cotita and James Crabtree are stationed. Robert H. (Bob) Jones and Walter Jones, famous golf champions, will meet today for the first time for the William J. Lyon trophy offered each year. Jo Earl Kingry and Joyce Xellums, famous comedy dancers, celebrate their first anniversary on the air this eve- nuig by entertaining the popular quartette of the day, Bealah Wright, Hortense Gonzalez, Mildred Creighton, and Helen Gibson. Looking into the records of the Virginia Fitch Publishing Co., we find the two best sellers of the year to be The Life and Witty Sai iiigs of Mary Jane Davies by Sarah Coleman and Poems by Mildred Entwistle. On the staff of The Ladies ' Home Journal in 1960 we see Dottie Keys as editor-in-chief with Rita Alfred as her secretary and Ruth Hood as editor of the cooking section. Four prominent women of our city, Mildred Pate, Geneva Parsley, Mary Penton, and Juanita Pitts are on a committee to investigate dog racing throughout the state. Margaret ilartin and Ruth Reeves are both working for a large corporation. Margaret has the position of book- keeper while Ruth is private secretary to the boss ! While in the Hollywood hot spot, The Cocked Hat Club ' ' owned by George Harris, we see the personality boy of Hollywood, Bobby Gibson, now starring in The Green Hornet of China. Jack Jemigan, famous baritone, has agreed to sing in the annual James Xorris benefit show. The manager of the show, Walter Lagergren, has also asked Harry Newkirk, Jr., another outstanding artist, to participate in this event. We foresee that Virginia Caro, Dorothy Grubbs and Doris Hale are happily marrietl to their navy husbands. They are stationed in Pearl Harbor. Do you know — Elizabeth Johnson, Mary G. MeXabb, and Verby Xichols are owners and managers of the Lonely Hearts Bureau — and do they have a business ! Harry Kahn, Florida ' s only producer, in the Roy Myers Studio, presented Harold Banfell and Ann Brown in •Mr. Jack Pitts Goes to Town. We see that Merle Mattson has attained fame as the author of the Lives and Loves of P. H. S. Teachers — (What a book!), and Bcnnie Saucer and Lillian Rutledge have introduced new algebra books into Florida schools. Let us rela.K for a moment and sail along with Barry Greenwell, snipper of the yacht Flying Fish in the San Franciseo-to- Honolulu race. Fixing on ahead we catch up with Gene Griffiths, w ' io is flying the Hong Kong-to-Manila sleeper plane for ■ ' rl61.98 r„ ' unil trip. Marie Morris is the air hostess on board. Adrian Kendrick, sheriff-elect of Escambia County, has selected as his deputies Charles Renfroe, Robert Rob- ertson, and Henry Tliomi son. Emily Turtle and Ralphine Willard, famous women fliers, have just broken all of their previous records by fly- ing their plane upside down from Pensacola to the Naval Air Station. Gladys Merritt, Julia Pape. and Fay Upton are running a parachute-jumping school. They are iierfeeting a new type of ' chute which they invented. We see a night at George Payne ' s Xite Club. On the program is a hot swing trio composed of Lee Morgan, Xelda Keliy, and La Verne Mobley. Also on the i)i ' ogram i ' Jenice Ellis, famed violinist, and her accompanist, Glenda M X)re.

CLASS PROPHECY One of tlio most popular liits of tlic stiino in KHiO is The (lirls from Syraoiisc, written iinil ilirectetl by Kutti- Iwn Busbee. The ieudint; roles are played by Daisy MeAllisier, Carolyn Lynch, and Doris I ' arroll. Onward into the MediteiTanean we find George Dandelaki , the present U. S. anibasMidor to Uri-ece. ( Yes, there ' s still a Greece!) Dro| pin); down to the South Pole (no trouble at all with n dear m-stal ball) we come upon Itnndolph Krickson carryinjj n in Lief ' s footstejis, as he explores the South Polar region. Ellen Kubanks, having a new beauty treatment, is u plastie surgeon, with Gloria Diibiiisson as her assistant. The constniction of her office will begin in the near future at which time Bradford Keene, prominent busim ' ss woman, will lay the corner-stone. « Dale Scott lias been chosen Queen of Mardi Gras in Tupelo, Miss. Elisabeth Thompson is the songstress with her husband ' s swing orchestra. Out over the Atlantic (we really get around with this crystal ball, magic carpet stuff) we see Stanley Climie in command of the liner Ainericus out to set another speed re ' or(L On this boat are the two guys who are trying to put us out of business, Tommy Bouchillon and Arthur Cobb, noted experimenters in television. Skipping over to Xew York we are met by Evans Goodnight, head photographer for Scpiiiit Magazine. Imag- ine it. He wants our pictures! His office happens to be just opposite Bruce Allen ' s, head illustrator lor Men Only the magazine for men (nuff said). Dean Quarrier, Joy Smith, and Juanita Todd have just left for Fort Redoubt with their Army husbands. Doro- thy Fairdoth is happily marrie l, too. Of course, she drives a tomato red convertible. We see one of the most outstanding events of 1960 to be the founding of a new college. It is Mildred Pate ' s Fininshing School for Girls, located in Tombstone, Arizona. On the teaching staff are Marjorie Cook, Kathleen Fell, and .Jewell Gan-ett. In the lobby of our hotel (yes, we had a hotel, sorta cold in the parks, now) we see Jinimie Haynes, star of the Green Bay Packers, with the same blonde again. Up in Ithaca, N. Y . we see Jimmy Brackin professor of chemistry at Cornell University. We understand that he ' s doing extensive research work on hydrogen. There ' s a flash of light on the highway below us; no cause for alarm, just the new Phantom Phlash being tested by Charles Higdon. The Phlash was perfected by engineers Tom Anderson, Richard Benson, and Robert Gard. We find that Chula Qreenwell and Dorothy Hughes are starring in the current hit at Earl Carroll ' s The Ziegfeld Follies of 1960. Driving on we find Toulmin Gaines writing his memoii ' s on his back porch. Toulmin is the author of the new mystery best seller Guess Who ' s ' Revenge. Edna Sehaffer and Bernice McNair, dress-designers, and Hilary AVheat and Erette Stringfellow, famous mil- liners, are with the Lois Smith Ladies ' Shoppe on Fifth Ave., New I ' ork City. Coming down to Washington, we find Jane Witek and Jerry Brown, representing Florida in the Senate and House, respectively. Jane is the first woman member from Florida. Getting down into our own section we run into Carl Bumieister, proprietor of the Great Southern Bakeries, Inc. Back in dear old Peusacola, we find Lon Carr, manager of Studebaker Sales of Florida, Alabama and Georgia, along with his head salesman Thore Carlin reclining in their office. Then on we go to the F. F. Lumber Yard, some- times called Termiteville, owned by James Fountain and Charles Folmar. Winner of a recent essay contest given by a soap company on why housewives liked their product, was Malnee Henderson. The i)rize was awarded by Dora Miest, last year ' s winner. Rufus Sunday, renowned evangelist, opens a series of lectures in the Thomas K. Butler auditorium in Goulding. Prof. Fred Winkler, founder of the AVinkler School of Rhumba, has announced as his assistant, Rudyard Tall- man, originator of the Gator Glide dance. Roger Scott, coach of Ole Miss., with James Ward, assistant, has given up his job to coach ping pong at George AVagenheim ' s home for wayward tennis players. Dean AVentworth, propaganda expert, having lost his iiosition, is winding old clocks at the Elmer White Foun- dry. Guy Y ' aste has just completed a portrait of Leslie Smith (his masterpiece) entitled Mr. Smith Goes to the Dogs. ' ' And like everyone else we wait until the last moment to see tlie dentist and there he is, our own alumnus, Bill Coker, with his pliers, chisel, and barber chair . . .
