' 4 4 N 14 ' 4 £ SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY 4 A In the spring of 1951 I went on a tour of the United States. I traveled by bus going first to Carls bad Caverns and then to California. When I boarded the bus in Dallas, I wac very much surprised to see Murrell Goodloe in the driver's seat. I sat down in a front seat and talked to him, finding that he had married five years ago and now hac three children. He had many financial difficulLxes and wag barelv making a living. Feeling sorry for him I ave him a check for 5100 which I hope he appreciated. Poor boy, his dream of a marble top desk never came true. On arriving at White City near the Caverns I started to hunt for a place to stay. I decided to rent a tourist cabin so I entered the manager's office only to find Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Brown, Jr. managing the tourist camp. J. F. had married Elizabeth Jane Trees the d’v after they graduated. From further conversation I found that all of Doris Je- n Owen's girlish wile had failed to win her a husband and she had turned to teaching school. She was now teaching J. F. the Third and Elizabeth Esmeralda in a little one teacher country school. Although there seemed to be no Prince Charming in sight, she still had not given up hopes. .Sifter visiting the caverns I traveled on to Hollywood, California. One night when I was dining at the Trocadero who ahould I find as the cigarette girl but Mary Lee Hamm, an old schoolmate. She had gone to Hollywood to act but had failed and turned to this occupation for a living. I stayed in California several days and then went to Seattle, Washington. It was Just the time of the year when the apple trees were in bloom. One day while walking through one of the many beautiful apple orchards, who should I find but two old maids, Minnie Weaver and Edna Faye West? They didn't know that anyone v� s near so their conversation was not Interrupted. I heard them discussing the p-’St. It seemed that they had planned a double wedding in June after their graduation but to their dismay and disappointment Janes and J. D had left them waiting at the church. They were ’ cth 8t111 living with their parents and were travelling _y w. y . � y, t T- y T ►J together for the summer. As it was the spring of the year and being near the apple blossoms their thoughts turned to their old lovers. Niagara Falls had always been one place where I wanted to go so that was the next place I visited. To my surprise and enjoyment I found two old schoolmates, Wesley Beaty and his wife, the former Edna Dixon. Because of financial difficulties they had not been able to marry until this year and had chosen Niagara Falls as the place for their honey moon. From Niagara Falls I went to Chicago. On reading a morning paper I looked twice at the following headlines: Hamm New Owner of Illinois Construction Co, I re d the article and found that the owner was the same J. D. Hamm who had gone to Red Oak High School. He had worked as a common laborer for a construction company while in high school. I toured Chicago and went sailing on the Great Lakes. At last it was time for me to Journey on to Washington, D. C. I was not so much surorised when I found that our new Secretary of State was Billie Roland Hamm. I always thought he would be a great statesman. My next stop was New York City. I visited the great fair that was being held there and who should I run across but Davis Southerland. He was an expert cattle Judge. He had acquired his knowledge in 4-H Club work in Red Oak High School. While in New York, I attended the weddinr of a personal friend. Imagine my surprise to find the Reverend Maurice Oldham ready to perform the ceremony. His wife, the former Francis Fields, who had become an accomplished musician, as sitting at the organ playing, Here comes the bride . From New York I went to Mlame, Florida. At this time the contest for choosing Miss America was in progress. I attended the program when the chosen girl was crowned. I heard the name Helen Cates, announced and looked twice to see if the young lady was the same Helen Cates who graduated from Red Oak High School in 1941. Helen was at that moment being proclaimed, Miss America for 1951. Not a lovelier or more radiant girl was to be found. t i By this tine my vacation was almost over ard I had 4 to hurry along, I did stop at New Orleans, though, to fish for awhile. One day some friends and I were Invited to go on a yachting party. As the host and hostess of the party were wealthy and well known, several reporters were allowed to go aboard to get write ups for their papers. One of these reporters was the once quiet Rolan Davenport. He was now the loudest and most noisy person around. I chatted with him for a few minutes and found that hp had formerly been a barber in a side show but had a chance to better himself so he took the job of reporter. My la3t stop before reaching home was Dallas. I was riding down one of the streets the last day of my visit and happened to pass the Grand Prize 3per Co. I co£ld hardly believe my eyes when I saw Mary Ruth Rockett standing in front waiting for Beer, At last I arrived at home tired but very happy because of my renewing old acquaintances. I knew something very unusual was about to happen as there was much excitement every wherp, Upon questioning some of my friends I found that the former Letha Kay Curtis, now the wife of John T. Morgan, the groatost. broker on ’Tall Street, had come back to the beautiful Oak to spend the rest of her d;ys. or no trouble at all that sho accompany her back to the happy school days. little city of Red It r- - -itn i ? ttl persuaded ho - husband to city where she spent hor After tho arrival of Oak went on as usual. I the Mor-pn’s, life in Red — — ----- „ sometimes wonder what tho Seniors of Red Oak High 8chool will be doing in ton moro years. Juay they always bo happy.
