CLASS PROPHECY Hut 139 has literally been “bursting at the seams” today—never have I known a class reunion to be quite so successtul—yes, I realize now that our former classmates are doing very well for themselves in the world. Who could imagine that in these five years so many ’51 graduates would settle at Lyons, New Jersey? There are Carnes and Jenny Cagle on 58 building managing those acutely ill patients with the greatest of ease. Carnes is now Mrs. and lives off the post near Morristown. As we tour around circle 2, we find that Thelma Moore has now taken over 57 building, and Roy, too, left the sunny south where he is building supervisor on 57, also selling real estate on the side line! Understand they’re quite prosperous and have a lovely ranch home in East Plainfield. Betty McCollum is chief “medicine giver” on 9 building and finds it most fascinating! That Belk girl went on back home, took on an extra year of schooling at Queens and is now pulling in a mere four thousand dollars per year at the new Veterans Hospital in Salisbury, N. C. With her is Louise Blackburn who has attained her Mrs. to Buck, and commutes to Reidsville every day. Ferree, loving the town of Salisbury so well, took over the operating room at Rowan Memorial and is most popular there—doing lobotomies daily. Mathis liked Yankee Land and Russell Reese so well that she settled in Philadelphia, and is now industrial nurse at one of the Reading Railroad set-ups, when she isn’t home caring for the many home duties ’n little Reeses. Jo Anne Beckham chose a southern life and went back to Lancaster, S. C., where she is doing a great work in Public Health. Kimble, who stayed in Char- lotte, is head of the department for Mecklenburg. Graves stepped into a grand position in surgery as soon as she graduated and is scrubbing for a tavorite doctor. A few weeks ago, I wanted to fly home for a little vacation, and when I was comfortably and efhciently seated by the hostess, it appeared to be none other than Doris Lee. She has a Newark to Tampa flight ’n my, how grand she looks! She’s an inspiration to any passenger. As photo editor of the Crisp ’n Curzs of ’51, Bette Bryant became so extremely interested in photography that she’s studying in New York—also posing behind the bright lights—and when a member of the personnel sustains an abrasion or the like, she practices a little TLC ’n dabs on a “splotch” of mercurochrome. When “Operation Pacific” was playing at the Carolina, when we were seniors at P. H., Misses Mabry, Vann, Kiser and Massagee answered their calls to the U. S. Navy as soon as State Board was over. They entered with the idea of making the Navy a career, but it seems that house- keeping has taken a front seat since none of them are in blues anymore. Seems that their home towns had such a hold on them that they took all of their Yankee husbands with them—incidentally, none are using their nursing anywhere else with the exception of caring for the little fleets! Lois Autry is living in Mass., and has her hands full with all of the little Shanahans. Her roommate, the former Billie Boswell, visited her last week and took the twins back to Georgia in hopes that she could make “peaches or crackers” out of them, and she’s doing all right for herself too, having a husband who is an M.D. as well as a D.D. At New York University, you'll find Jerry Polk; following her post-graduate in psychiatry, she accepted a position there. She knows the city like a book and really gets around! Melba Wallace is happily settled down and carrying out her duties as a minister’s wife. They’re in Florida and when she’s needed and he’ll allow it, Melba helps in surgery in a local hospital. Correll, Duncan, Justus, Lewis, Medlin, and Sandifer chose Charlotte and all have lovely homes in the finer residential sections of the city. Dunn did private duty for a year following graduation, went back to Darlington and is on her way up here in the very near future. The entire class seems to have a soft spot for dear ole Lyons! Hollingsworth and Parrish, the “inseparables,” live side by side in Basking Ridge. Brought their Rebel husbands northward. When September 6th of ’51 came, Teeter, Heustess, Poole, Templeton, Seagraves, O. White, Henkel, and Hamrick all had fall weddings and went back to their former hometowns. Teeter and Poole loved third floor and medical patients so well, they are operating a home for the aged in Troy. Have a tremendous business, too. Herring chose a career in gynecology and Sharp took obstetrics. Stroud enjoyed surgical and medical patients—a duke’s mixture—so now she’s hard at work on second floor of Presbyterian. Weaver is a prized possession wherever she goes and does hair styling as she travels. B. White chose a traveling career and goes from Maine to Florida and then to California frequently. Only practices nursing whenever she needs the funds. We sav to all you southern classmates, “SAVE THAT CONFEDERATE MONEY, GIRLS, THE SOUTH SHALL RISE AGAIN.” Emma JANE Soop, Prophetess Page Twenty-one
