CLASS PROPHECY Time certainly flies! Here it is 1960, and around the beautifully decorated banquet tables in the dining room of the T. M. W. Hotel, we see the mem- bers of the R. H. S. Senior Class of '50, By the way, this T. M. W. Hotel belongs to Tom and Max Whit- mire, and it is located at Lake Toxaway, North Caro- lina, which has, during the last decade, become a nationally famous summer resort. Because it is so well-known and is so near our Alma Mater, we chose it as the appropriate place for our first class reunion. All the members of our class are present. We are learning, as we talk to different persons, that good, bad, interesting, and exciting things have hap- pened to our classmates since graduation. William Zachary is the owner of several service stations located in North Carolina and Virginia. He also sells new and used Chevrolet cars and trucks. He says he still tries to get rid of blue pick-ups since they always seem to bring him bud luck. The last one he owned crashed into the side of a bridge when it was suddenly hit by a following car. Willicim's injuries were slight, and he recovered quickly when treated at Pangle's Clinic. This is a small, modern clinic at Winston-Salem which was recently estab- lished by Dr. Carlos Pangle with Betty Lou Lance as his superintendent of nurses. Polly and I traveled together to attend this re- union. We now live in Hollywood where Polly is becoming a well-known actress. In the current film, The Two Dopes, she co-stars with a former class- mate, Paul Owen, and she wears gowns designed and made by the Chuggy Star Shop which I own. Toward the end of the table at which I am sit- ting, is a pert, red-headed youngster whose face is frecklecl as a guinea egg and has everyone near him in stitches of laughter at his remarks. He's the youngest of four sons belonging to Carl Alex- ander and the former Ollie Mae Coggins. The three older boys remained at home, which is a little white bungalow iust across the Jackson County line. Pat Lance and Marie Greer have invited Polly and me to spend some time with them on the Queen's Bar, their Texas ranch, on our return trip to California. We know this ranch will be different to the typical ranch because Pat and Marie could have been called the Originality Twins of our class. Seated at our table, is Howard Lowe and his wife, the former Mary Lee Callahan. Howard is a progressive farmer in the Gloucester section, and Mary Lee is teaching the first grade in the recently constructed school building at Lake Toxaway. Farming in this section of Western North Carolina is steadily improving, and much of the credit for this progress can be rightfully given to Gerald Owen, the county agent, and his assistant, Pete Lee. These gentlemen are still eligible bachelors! John Vakos informs us that he has a small, but successful, factory which manufactures unsmearable lipstick. CPerhaps, he developed this particular brand of lipstick as protection for himself-wives don't like finding someone else's lipstick on their hus- bands' shirtsl. Bonnie Petit is secretary for the Transylvania County Chamber of Commerce, which has accom- plished a great deal in giving publicity to this region as a tourist resort. Tommie Fisher works for the same organization as social director and supervises the general recreational activities of the entire county. Our food for this banquet is the most delicious imaginable - and no wonder - the Whitmire gentlemen are lucky enough to have Evelyn Gallo- way as their dietitian. We feel sure, too, that the correspondence, records, files, etc., of the hotel are in apple pie order since this department is under the direction of Lois Dodson. i Seated at a nearby table are Marvella Staton, society editor of the Sylvan Valley Gazette, Ada Carter, who is home demonstration agent of our home county, and Bernice Whitmire, crafts teacher working with Miss Carter. Thus has been achieved the fate of various mem- bers of the class of 1950. As we say good-bye to each other at this reunion, it is our sincere desire that Fate will deal as kindly with us in the coming decade. Qyfaglys guna PJQ. Fungi CLASS PHOPHETS
