ulass Prophecy AS I was thinking the other day about our class and the members'futures, l began to wonder what things would be like at our first reunion. I closed my eyes and imagined myself about to enter the building at P. H. S. My thoughts ran at will and here they are as they came into my mind. Standing in the doorway, I first talked to Charles Brookman, Principal of Coalters Chapel High School. It seems that Jerry Broyles has made use of his Agriculture and F. F. A. work. He is now pro- prietor of the largest farm in Monroe County. Shirley Booth, famous writer just returned from Africa with her husband, Glenn Cantiberry, where she is writing a book on the Life of the Ape, Melvin Harvey, multi-millionaire ship designer, just finished designing a do-it-yourself space ship. Jimmie Shires, U. S. Representative in the Olympics and his famous manager, Bob Miller, made it to the reunion just in time, Professor William E. Gentry, often called Einstein II, is teaching Math and Chemistry at Columbia University, Dusty Dickinson is now editor of Ladies, Yesterday and Today, famous magazine all over the world. Shirley Ann Smith, secretary for The Travel Club of the World, just returned from a trip abroad. Margaret Whitt, famous furniture designer, just made a fortune from her automatic breakfast-in-bed tray. Richard Guynn, research scientist, just accepted a job with the Celanese Corporation, which Jack Harvey is President, The famous lady psychiauist, Clara Carter, has just finished an interesting report of a lady who manages to keep a happy home with three children and do stand-ins for Marilyn Monroe in her spare time. That interesting lady is Mrs. Betty Porterfield. The Barter Theater impressed Miss Patty Shell so much that she is now writing plays and some say she is borrowing plots from Shakespeare. They always seem to suit the leading lady, Miss Leona McNeil, though. Darrell Ellison and Woody Long have made a great success of their joint venture in the sale of typing erasers. It might have been their slogan, We've tried them. The wealthy political figure of Lindside, Tom Pitzer, is becoming more and more influential, The news commentator, Robert Wimmer, reported that Mr. Pitzer had even persuaded the Democratic Senator from this district to vote a straight Republican ticket. Kind hearted Judy Coulter has turned her large farm home into an orphanage. Glenda Ogle is the nurse in attendance to the children. Miss Betty Keatley, since her graduation in Leap Year, has felt so sorry for those poor girls who were left out that she has organized her own Lonely Hearts Club. Patsy Jervis, lady detective, made the most daring arrest of her career when she captured the well- known gun moll, Libby Weiss. Miss Betty Miller has been promoted to the position of secretary to the nation's most prominent lady executive, Ellen Ballengee. One of our leading home management advisors, Barbara Robinson, has invented a new super-quick cake mix that is considered the product that will bankrupt Betty Crocker. Miss Lois Pennington and Miss Darlene Brewster realized the great opportunities presented in Bozoo, and have established a partnership drug store within the Corporate Limits. June Page, because of her close association with the laundry industry, has developed a fluid guaranteed to remove baby hand prints from woolen materials. Jennie Sadler is a registered nurse at St. Luke's Hospital, Two of the other nurses on the staff, Bonnie Wickline and Shirley Broyles, have proved that a pleasant attitude is an effective medicine. Blanche Blankenship and her sister, Louise Adkins, have become quite famous for their series of articles on Marriage and Family Life. Shelba Bradley, one of their regular subscribers, is finding their suggestions helpful in her harmonious home life. Mrs, Wanda Campbell is making an excellent use of the articles, too, since she finds that they are authoritative. Margaret Fleshman and Rachel Campbell have recently signed papers that will entitle each of them to the position of stewardess for the first rocket trip to Jupiter. Margaret Lively has been voted as Miss West Virginia in the Miss America Contest. She is expected to win the finals easily. Betty J. Francis is the new cashier at the Bank of Peterstown where her brother is now president. She's one of those clever women who can combine a career and a happy marriage, as she always described as Easy in Shorthand Class.
