CLASS PROPHECY As I look into the crystal ball, the future looks very prosperous for the Senior Class of 1953, as I see it in 1963, of course ten years can make many changes in size, shape, number and posi¬ tion. Many will obtain their goal and many will just fall into the habit of just letting the world go by. Let’s take a second glance and see just who has done what. Who could that pretty red-headed secretary be? Of course it is Jo Anne Kirkman. Her hus¬ band owns the firm. If you are on your way to visit Inez Osborne, who is now a housewife in California, please have your car serviced at Frank Marion’s Service Station. It’s the best. Randall Simpson and Bill Kirkman are the best artists in Guilford County. Randall has just fin¬ ished a cartoon and Bill has finished the sketches for a novel. I just picked up Collier’s Magazine and found there a short-story written by Catherine Neece. She is also a secretary for NBC. Sam Boyd has just returned from Europe. He owns a private plane and has traveled around the world four times. Louise Frye, who is a beautician, has a full time job, because she is the mother of five boys. It seems that it will be a tie between the Red Sox and the Yankees, because Jimmy Anthony is playing for the Red Sox and Ray Caudle is short stop for the Yankees. Sandy Monnett is now designing Ford cars and they’re all souped up to 120 m.p.h. Look out patrolmen! Peggy Crymes had planned for a college career, but somehow she got side-tracked into a happy marriage. Jackie Voss now has her own dress-designing shop, but that is a part-time job because she has a husband and four children. Jim Garner put his shingle out with D.D.S. on it. He is the best dentist in the state. Rav Mowery has the largest used car lot in Climax. He is bringing cars from the North and selling them. Bob Weatherly has the gayest string band in Pleasant Garden, and his wife and children do the square dancing. Women radio announcers are few, but Ethel Coltrane has hit the top. Tune in to hear her on station XYZ in Pleasant Garden. One of the favorite programs on XYZ is the “Music Hour”. You’ll agree when you hear the golden voices of Patsy Fogleman and J. D. Tilley, One of the more prominent figures of Pleasant Garden is Doris Fields; manager of a large de¬ partment store. Two of the most beautiful farms in this country are owned by Roddy Fields and Holman Flynn. Moonyeen Cockman thought she would never see the day, but now she has three lovely chil¬ dren calling her “Mother”. Violet Farlow still has patience; she is in her kitchen waiting for her husband who is always late from work. Bob Hackett and Kyle Harris now have the largest race track in Pleasant Garden. Of course they need a lovely ticket agent and Lynette Brown is the very one for that job. She was a model for five years. We couldn’t understand why people were breaking their necks to get into the hospital until we learned that Norma Jean Maness is a nurse. Barbara Samuel and her husband are both working at Bell Telephone, so they have no inconveniences. Louie Varner is known to be rather quiet..but she is now sales manager of Western Electric. Melvin Propst now has a full time job at the A P Store. He expects to be manager soon. All the girls have done well in the business world. Peggy Smith is now chief operator at Bell Telephone. Bob Gamble really has a secure job, because he is serving Uncle Sam in the U. S. Army, while Bill Glass is serving in the Navy. Leaking faucets and burst pipes can easily be repaired by Ben Fields; the best plumber in Climax. Norma Bennett has chosen a job at Sears, and it proves to be a successful investment. The most beautiful homes in Greensboro were decorated by Ruth Ann Marley. She is a suc¬ cessful interior decorator at Morrison-Neese. Bootsie Corsbie couldn’t decide whether to be a secretary or a housewife, but she finally chose homelife. I have been so engrossed with the future of the others that I almost forgot to tell you that the future holds success and happiness for me too. Bobbie Barker, Prophet
