QOKING AND THE WWRE Rummaging around in our attic one rainy Saturday afternoon, I came across a dust-covered crystal ball. I recognized it as one that my grandfather had picked up from an old fak- ir in India many years ago. I wiped the dust away and polished it until the crystal was sparkling. Then I sat gazing into its crystal depths. How long I sat gazing Ido not know, but suddenly within the ball there appeared to my amazed eyes a book - a book whose pages slowly started to turn, I watched, fascinated. As I watched, I realized that I was seeing into the future for this is what the pages told me: Barbara Clay has whizzed through her commercial course and holds a position as secretary in the Rustburg Auto Garage. Alice Tanner, capable and efficient as ever, is now head nurse in the Lynchburg Hospital thus realizing her school-girl ambition to help humanity in every way possible. Julia Frazier, after perfecting her version of going to Cuba , is now working for M, G. M. and will soon be seen in the forthcoming picture She'll be Coming ‘Round the Moun- tain , Mary Lee Taylor, now a tall sophisticate, is top buyer for Charles’, while she designs exciting new creations for Vogue in her spare time, Alice Baker startled us all by eloping with a dashing young doctor during her junior year at college, Lucy Jones, after an exciting trip abroad, has arrived home and taken up the difficult job of teaching mathematics to the fresnmen of Rustburg High School. Nancy Wright, walking of with top honors at her graduation from secretarial school, now ‘hands out advice to the love-lorn in her column, Life Can Be Beautiful . Edith Lindsay, after majoring in foreign languages at college, is now an airline hostess on a Trans-Atlantic Clipper, Hazel Duff has now added another ring to her collection and is heard humming Mendelssohn's Wedding March constantly. as) Tom Phillips, after studying contentedly in History IV class, has become one of the out- standing leaders in the civic affairs of Rustburg,. Harold Coates, realizing his secret ambition, has become one of the most prominent lec- turers of the day. Jesse Cowart has climbed far and high on the ladder of success. His pounding voice can be heard every Saturday night over W. S. M., Nashville, Tennessee, Jim Stone has become principal of one of the largest schools in Campbell County and also gives vocal lessons to all who may be interested. Billy Davidson, always interested in riding and roping, was fascinated by the ranch life of South America which he studied in World Geography class. He is now a dashing gaucho on his own ranch in Argentina, Ed Whately has become a renowned barber of Gravel Ridge, and customers clamor for his at- tention, His little wife keeps his books and his two sons are good at keeping him sup- plied with hot towels and sharp razors when business gets very brisk. Cecil Reynolds, famous the country over for his interpretation of negro spirituals, comes back home every May to deliver an inspiring sermon to the graduating class of Rustburg High School. Gerald Cheatham, another Luther Burbank, has just received an honorary degree from the Virginia Polytechnic Institute for his experimental work with hybrid corn, --By Hazel Duff A BREEZE Over the marsh comes a little breeze, Flirting with cattails and laughing in trees, It whispers through the grass and reeds, Sighs among lilies, romps in weeds. Ruffles the blossoms on the rose bush; Tears off the petals in a playful push, Chases a leaf across the ground, Stops a minute and looks around, Sees a bock on a garden chair, Turns a few pazes and leaves it there. Races down a sunny steep, Sits down to rest and goes to sleep! “Sqn ts --Mary Lee Taylor tte
