SENIOR PROPHECY 1949 226 Let us climb into our Atomic Rocket which will take us thirteen years into the future. Zoom! We are off! . , ' We shall see some of our old classmates whom we haven't seen for many years. The first we see are Ray Brackett and Frances Lee, who are now Mr. and Mrs. Ray Brackett. They live on Washington Street in Shelby, N. C., where Ray is the sheriff of Cleveland County. Next, we see Glenn Powell who is foreman of Mr. Moore's farm on highway 150 near Boiling Springs. He is still flirting with every new girl that comes along. V Shirley Woodall is the girls' basketball coach for Gardner-Webb. The girls lost another game to Mars Hill last night. Let us hope they win the next one. Harold Walker, better known as Red , is now an engineer for the Duke Power Company . As we all know Albert Hamrick wanted to be a private secretary. She finished college and got a job with a private detective in New York. I think they finally got married. That's what that kind of work will do for you. Pete McCraw, who once said, I'll get a diploma or quit! finally quit after thirteen years of bad luck in senior English. Now he's driving a pick-up for the state. Max Harris is a nominee for governor of North Carolina on a Democratic ticket. Marjorie Blanton is choir director for the First Church in Winston-Salem. Ima Jean Hamrick and Hazel Spake had their wishes granted and have become models for several large concerns in New York. Wayne Earls is driving a bus for one of the several large bus lines in Boiling Springs. Izener Huffman made an 'athletic director for Polkville. He is making good showing in the basketball tournament at the armory. Conway Goode is agrciulture teacher at Lattimare. I Rachel Ann Lemons is now teaching second year French at Gardner-Webb. One reason she is so in- terested in French is that her boy friend lives in France. Johnnie Mae Hammett and Evelyn Hester are good housewives, or so their husbands say. Grace Hawkins is skating instructor at the Boiling Springs Skating Rink. She gets a thrill out of teaching boys how to skate. Some of the boys will never learn to skate because they like Grace's teaching too well. Joe Dean Ledbetter has a good farm south of Boiling Springs where he has settled down. Billy Walker, who loved make-up, especially when it was on girls, got a job as make-up artist with Twen- tieth Century Fox. Doris Martin is running her own beauty parlor in Charlotte. I think Paul Rogers landed a contract with some studio in Hollywood as an actor, Paul likes his oc- cupation. Helen LaNier, who was very good in English in high school, got a job as an English teacher somewhere in Virginia. And me, well, I'm just the pilot of this rocket which we are riding on.
