INEZ SULLIVAN PROPHECY They told me I had to prophesy But l know not what to do For I wasn't born a prophet Anymore than one of you But wait! Incense drifts around me, the lights grow dim, the mist begins to rise, and forms begin to waver before me. Isee Edna Wyse Griffin, her husband and their two boys at their Spring Garden Estate, which is noted for its production of rare hybrid orchids. The world's largest baseball stadium appears and Edwin Holmes, Manager and Coach of the Thunder- bolts walks on the field. Across the street is a 50-acre furniture store, owned by Chester Sutton. In front is parked a l96l Cadillac, one of his many cars. The University of Seven Springs comes into view and Janet Ward is turning the corner at Trickling Brook and Riverview Streets. Janet is head of the Department of Atomic Geometry at the University, a phase of Math that was discovered by her. Someone is coming out of the Hollywood Theater! Oh, it's Nannie Daly, leading lady for J. W. Jones, Jr., on her way to the beauty salon of Virginia Fields, who is the private cosmetologist of Nannie. I pause a second and a zooming sound comes closer. Looking toward the northern horizon the out- line of a U. S. Jet Flying Saucer appears. Kenneth Beasley, covered with medals, is at the controls. Kenneth was the No. I hero in the American-Kryptonian War on the Planet Krypton. Another hero of this war during the Battle of the Helium Sea, was Admiral Dick Whitfield. I see him as he steps from his yatch at Pier No. 5 at the foot of Price Street. To greet him is Kenneth Price, and his two sons, in their Rocket-Car-Helicopter, Ian invention of Kenneth'sl. Around the block on Shady Dale Avenue is the new S200,000,000 State Hospital where Patty Price, Janet Price, and Catherine Potter are caring for their psychiactric patients. Out of the city on State Park Road, Grover Williams and his seven boys operate a 100,000,000 acre dairy farm stocked with 500,000,000 Jerseyshire cows. In the La Grange Division of Seven Springs, Bryant Shivar, president of Packard Cars, lnc., dictates anletter in his spacious office to his pretty secretary, Evelyn Lamm. Kelly's Mortuary on l03 North Easy Street appears before me and the owner, Alyce Price and her husband drive away in their iet-propelled ambulance. A few blocks down the street the dome of Sullivan's Missionary College come into view. Inez Sul- livan, the founder and president is sitting under a tree on the campus eating a bar of candy. The final picture passes before me, one of Joyce Head as she gulps down a pecan pie. She is chief pie sampler and owner of a large pie factory on Main Street. The lights brighten, and the pic- tures fade out. JOYCE HEAD
