Class Prophecy I have been on a long, long journey, away from my friends and classmates. It has been difficult to find what they have been doing since our graduation in 1949 at dear old Randleman High School. But it is surprising how I have run into some of them in my travels. ; In Paris a few months ago, I went to a fashion revue where Mary Lou Moser won first prize with an exquisite gown of her own designing. She has really gone far with her talent. In England there was a parade to honor the top ranking officer of the United States Woman’s Army Corps—General Carol Fleming. In Afnca I visited a Mission where I saw Nina Jane Kennedy assisting her husband, a medical missionary, in his great work among the heathen. With them also was Sara Helen Yow, a nurse, who has dedicated her life to the service of others. When I boarded the ship U. S. S. Randleman to return to the United States, I found the captain, Joe Wright, giving orders nght and left. While walking down Fifth Avenue in New York, I was attracted by a sign that said “Vickory and Hinshaw, Interior Decorators.’ ‘The names sounded familiar so I went in. There, Alice Vickory and Geneva Hinshaw told me they were very busy redecorating the New Rocke feller Center. At the Metropolitan Opera, Bernard Allred has really made a name for himself. Radio City was my next stop. That famous singing star, Peggy Yow, was putting on her daily program of popular hit tunes. Directly after her program came Bobby Wright, comedian, with his new show “It Doesn’t Pay To Be Ignorant.” I boarded a train, picked up a newspaper, and began to rea d. It was “The Randleman Morning Star,” edited by Delia Hanner. ‘Turning to the Society Column, I saw that the former Josephine Reece, now married to a famous lawyer, had entertained Senator James Kirkman and wife at her home in Star Valley Forest, one of the better sections of Randleman. The former Mary Millikan and her husband had given a dinner in honor of Bernice Garner, who after many flings had finally made plans for a wedding to a famous artist. Dr. and Mrs. Kenneth Farlow had entertained friends at the Randleman Country Club. I turned next to the comic strip. ‘There was my old favorite, Dick Macy, written by Bruce Trogdon. Further down was Grinnin’ Jack by Dan Stout. From the comic strip I turned to the advertisements. I read: Sophia Beauty Salon, owned and operated by Cherry Bullard and La Rue Newby. ‘The Paris School of Dancing, operated by Ann Parris and husband. ‘Traille Funeral Home—David Traille, Manager. Pugh’s Success School—owned and operated by Betty Jean Pugh. Richardson Business College—Mary Lois Richardson, President. Olivera Davis and Wilma Hollingsworth, Land Auctioneers. Gibson Ice Cream: Company—Manager, Mary Robbins. S M Silk Mills, owners—Earl Small and Benson Marsh. ‘The Smart Ladies’ Shoppe—Sara Jane Jarrell, owner. Pugh and Gregson Construction Company—Thurman Pugh and James Gregson, owners, Turning through the newspaper again, I noticed articles of various types. A new drug, which made old ladies look beautiful again, had been discovered by Mildred Redding. It was near the opening of the school term. On the faculty of R. H. S. were Nancy Hayes, Bible teacher; Betty Jo Pugh, Physical Education; and Hubert Allred, Agriculture. On the sports page was a large picture of Bascom Wood who is playing first base this season with the New York Yankees. Also there was a picture of Brownie Dawkins, woman golf champion in North Caro- lina. When I began to read the love-lorn column, I found that it was written by Betty Jane Johnson. A new hospital had just been built in Randleman and Betty Lou Trogdon had been chosen as head nurse because of her outstanding record of service to others. By this time we had nearly reached Randleman, so I folded my newspaper and prepared to leave the train. Outside I hailed a taxi owned by the James Allen Hall Cab Company. How Main Street had changed—so many tall buildings! I noticed a sign which read— Dr. Sally Hylton, Dentist. Suddenly I met Ida Mae Pugh, who said she was the private secretary of Robert Wood of the Wood Detective Agency. She was off for lunch, so we went into the Palace Cafe owned by Hope Snyder. Over our hot lunches Ida Mae told me about many of our classmates. Margaret Barker had married a politician and was living in South Carolina. Ruth Crotts was a French teacher in a college in Virginia. Evelyn Farlowe was the private secretary of Gordon Spencer who owns a fly paper company at Worthville, N.C.
