GLASS PROPHECY 1 While walking down the street one sunny afternoon I spied a sign which read Fortunes Told Here. Immediately I walked in and before I could utter one word the fortune teller said, Ah, but you want to know the future of the graduat- ing class of 1942. I assured her that this was true. She began reading her cards and this is what she read: Ralphie Mae Amos is owner of a studio in St. Louis, Missouri. Mamie Gore is the owner of the Madam Gore Beauty Salon in Chicago, Illinois. Norma Jean Parks is head of the Home Economic Department at Kentucky State College. Queen Ester Cornett is working in a large business firm in Detroit, Mich. Frances Walker is head Dietician in one of Chicago ' s largest hotels. Verna Richardson is owner of a unique newspaper stand in New York City. Mary Lee Rhodman is the head nurse at Grady ' s Hospital, Atlanta, Georgia. Ethel Fowler is the owner of a lovely summer resort in Los Angeles Cali- fornia. City. Rosa Mae Benson is nursing in Oklahoma. George Washington is coaching at Morris Brown College. Robert Lee James is an electrical engineer and is working in New York Norman Morris is singing at the Grand Terrace in Chicago, 111. Wesley Elliot after completing four years of agriculture work is now teaching at Wilberforce Uniersity. Richard Morris is teaching Mathematics in one of the largest Mid -Western Universities for Negroes. Winfred Didlake is Chief Radio Technician over one of the largest radio net works. John Didlake is doing Auto Mechanic work in Baltimore, Maryland. And you, Beatrice Tolliver are teaching dietetics at Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Alabama.
