CLASS PROPHECY Since I had an over-whelming desire to know what was in the future for the Class of 41, I visited'a Clairvoyant and asked to gaze into tne Crystal Ball that my curiosity might be sat- isfied. To my amazement, the revelations were astonishing. I shall try to give you some idea of what the gods have in store for us. Billie xuone and Joy Seely had settled all tneir difficul- ties and lived in New York, where he carried the pig skin for a noted professional team. Shades of the gods: was I seeing things? Was that Hula dancing teacher really Dorthy Tarver? Yes, and she was doing the step to perfection. The scene suddenly shifted and there was Geraldine Jones, a sophisticated movie star, topping even Hedy Lamarr in beauty and charm, while Dee Ester Bishop was mak- ing hersaif ae famous as Lillian Russell in the Metropolitan. Wayne Pate was a dentist wno could find any cavity tnat nad been misplaced. Rolene Mundy was showing a famous basket ball team how to find the basket. And Barney McAfee!! Why he was a reformed person and a minister of the gospel. In the distance I saw the big tops of a circus. On drawing nearer the names of Stinson and Hassenpflug greeted my eyes. Two glaringly advertised attractions were James Cook, the Tal 1 Man and Minnie Ola Kelly, the exceedingly Fat Woman. Jimmy joe Waide had realized her life dream and was happi- ly married to the captain of the U.S.S. Nightmare. Monroe Davidson was the king of o spagetti house in Horshoe Bend and, believe it or not, that slender trim figure had become a second Jimmy Jeffries. Mary Alice MeReynolds was a Woman in White and had a habit of falling in love with each of her male patients. Harold B. King had become a dead man’s friend--incredibly enough—an under- taker. I noticed from an attractive sign on Main Street, that Lois Blakely had risen to fame as the owner and operator of the Pugsy Beauty Salon in Ar yle.

Cecil Vaughan had organized his personal chorus of whistler; Of course, they were ladies, for he was still a ladies1 man. Ou classmates were well supplied with musical blood in their veins, for Lewis Harris was the leader of the Joinin' Jitterbugs” a googie woogie swing band. Idaleene Scheu had become the No. I Debutante of t he year (still having her eighteenth birthday). Looking through a local paper, I noticed tmt Carrell Lan- caster had risen to the height of a severe professor of English in the Texas State College for Women and doing Quite well among the women. We think that he was happily married to Novice Reynolds, the Dean of Women and Master of Dramatics in the sane school. Billie Jean Amyx had moved to Tioga to be near her good friend, Faye Rickett, and to try to catch the Autry spirit. This class of 41 had risen to fame in many fields. Pauline Christian had become an air stewardess on the Trans- Picific Airlines. Kyker Smith was gaining publicity as a come- dian on a weekly hook-up over station N-U-T Willie Faye Selzer was still wearing her favorite color— Brown—but in a different way—she married him. Bob Hood had become noted in still another field. He was a great stage actor and had filled the title made famous by John Barrymore — The Great Profile .
