Closs Prophecy Turning to the society column, I saw where BET SY HODG E and LAURA MARSHALL had been appointed to plan the annual fall dance at the Randleman Chapter of the National Secretaries Association to be held at the Oak Lane Country Club, located in a newly-opened section of Randleman. Also listedwere the names of the secretaries to attend the affair. Among them were CIARA MAE HILTON, DOLORES EISENHART, CARROLL WALLS, and SHELBY JEAN SMITH. GAYLE WHITE, the star of a big broadway comedy, accompanied by LARRY YOW, her press photographer, is returning to Randle man to do the closing play at the Randleman Summer Playhouse. Below the society column, Inoticed that the names of the teachers for the fall semester at Randleman High School were listed. On the faculty was JERRY GREGSON, Principal, BETTY JEANHILL, Geometry and Business Math, RONNIE WHITE, head of Science Department, SUE FALLENSTEIN, Algebra Iand II, C. L YARBROUG H, Band Instructor, and NANCY MILLIKAN, Home Economics. Also named was JANE MORRIS, President of the P. T. A. I turned next to the fashion page to look at the latest styles in women's clothing designed by BRENDA PARRIS and BETSY I-LAMLET. On the sports page was a column written by the well- known sports writer, EVERETT HENDERSON. Glancing overthe advertisements, I re ad: Cox Funeral Home-owned and operated by DLANA COX, Farlow and Johnson Construction Company-owned and operated by EDDIE JOHNSON and HERCHEL FARLOW, W orthv i lle Beauty Salon, operated by FAYE TAYLOR, Beane's Dress Shop, managed by JANET and MARKETIA BEANE, and Tiny Tots Day Nursery, owned and operated by NANCY FRAZIER and LINDA FOGLEMAN. Flipping back through the paper, I noticed articles of V arious types. Since the retirement of Molly Mayfield, BERNIECE PUGH has taken over her column of advice to the love-lorn. One a rtic le told about the world-wide tour of the religious singer, LINDA PIERCE. Anothe r gave information about the Citizen of the Week, MARGARET HANCOCK, head of the Randleman Welfare Department. I s udd e n ly realized that it was almost lunch time, and that Mother would be e xpe cting me home at any m i n ut e. So, la ying the paper aside, I started the car. Driving through town, I passed a law firm belonging to those two famous criminal lawyers, GEORGE MacDONAID and RONNIE PLUMMER. A large white building had the words Rand1eman Health Club, owned by JIMMY DAVIS and WALLACE HOCKETT, printed across the front. In the main s e ction of town, stood Whitaker's Gun Shop, operated by GARY WHITAKER. As Iturned at the stop light onto Academy Street, I noticed Pat and Eliz's School of Modeling, managed by PAT CHRISTENBERRY and ELIZABETH DUGGINS. Once at home, Ithought about how the bits of infor- mation, g athe re d about my classmates during the day, brought back to my mind the memories of our years at old Randle man High. Together, we st riv e d during that short period of fouryears to prepare ourselves for the load of responsibilities each would carry, once a part of the adult world. With this in mind, Ifeltproud to be a member of the graduating class of 1961. BEVERLY ROBBINS Prophe te ss

!1!lI!'!!!N!ll YIEYBIIHI' Closs Prophecy Afterhaving lived abroad for the past ten years, since my graduation from Randleman High School, Ireturned home to find that I knew almost nothing about the present activities of my fellow classmates. I resolved that, as soon as I settled myself at home, I would try to discover what forttmes the past ten years had unveiled to the graduates of the class of 1961. Early one morning, soon afterwards, Idrove over to the new Randleman Memorial Hospital to have breakfast in the hospital cafeteria, with my old high school chum, LINDA RICHARDSON. While we were eating, linda gave me some up-to- date information about several of our former classmates. As I expected, BRENDA DENNIS, DORIS JOHNSON, and JOYCE MCADEN were all married as planned and settled down to family life soon after graduation. BRENDA FIELDS, also married, lives in Georgia, where she is employed as a s e cret ary for the Pilot Life Insurance Company. LEWIS PERRY, who planned to study electronics after high school, is now an electronics e ng ine e r at Westem Electric. It seems that FAYE MILLIKAN and JOYCE HODGIN, high school friends, are e mp loye d at the same type of work. They are both working as de nt a l a s s i sta nt sin Greensboro. While we chatted on about our former classmates, we were joined by a few of them. They were DELORES TURNER, IRENE ALLRED, and SUE IEDNUM, also registered nurses working at the hospital. They informed me that many of the 1961 graduates had chosen different fields of work in the medical profession. DICKIE LAWSON is chief surgeon at Randolph Mem- orial Hospital with NANCY STALEY as his assistant. BRENDA HILL is doing psychiatric nursing at Dul-ce. LINDA TURNER and JESSIE LOF LIN perform duties at our own hospital as part-time practical nurses, and CLARA PUGH is the most efficient laboratory te c hn i c i a n our hospital has. Both NANCY ADAMS and JOANN SAWYER are X-ray technicians at Cone Memorial Hospital. Along withthis information, I discovered that BUDDY WILLIAMS is president of General Motors. RAYMOND STANLEY, a top mechanic, has just been elected vice-president of General Motors. MINKEY DAVIS has just landed a job playing the role of Richard Diamond's private secretary on his television program. The newly-elected sheriff and de puty of Randolph County are none other than LARRY LINTHIC UM and LEROY PARSONS. Also, SYLVIA BLAKE and KAYE BOGGAN are working as telephone operators for the Bell Telephone Company in High Point. As much as we all disliked the idea of breaking up our conversation, it was time for Linda and the others to return to duty. So I decided to be on my way. On my Way to the car, I bought a newspaper from the newsboy standing on the steps of the hospital. Inside the car I unfolded the pape r to find it to be a copy of the Randleman Daily News, edited by JIMMY FERREE. Covering the front page was a news article about the late st ad ve nture s of the great African game hunter, ARGIE WOOD. 25
