PROPHECY the original, old-time Red-Hot Mamas, and also by a chorus line of those bodacious beauties of Broadway-the Rocket's, composed of Shirley McIntyre, Lorene Davis, Annie Barber, Ruth Guthrie, joyce Fisher, Shirley Randall, Martha Wright, and Helen Spangler. Glancing back to the SSFV, I see that it is now time for the men's wrestling. There before me are some of the largest, most ferocious, Gar- gantuan hunks of humanity imaginable. They are: Harold Eskridge, H oward Abemathy, Donald Hughes, Summie Lee Hendrick, Kenneth Ledbetter, jim Hardin, and Richard Bivins. I also recognize the referee as Gayle Wylie, who is said to be the tallest midget in the world. Hearing a deafening noise, I rush out on the street just in n --- - 1- ' -' - '- - - - , Bobby Hambright, 1 H f- - nd Gene Grigg go roaring by in their jet l While out on the street, I see Mayor Snow Hendrick, Animal Confiscator fDog Catcherj, john Hunter, and vir oso of voice err Hill and Vicki Plaster. They are all standing in ront of Henry Fogle's Used jet Agency. Along with them are Bill Self, now manager of the A 81 P Store, Dickf Shull, Edwin Turner, and Slim Lane-the latter three having been so good at cutting fclasses and suchj work in Bill's meat department. As I stroll down the street, I pass the Baldy Dome Beauty Shoppe. Here the beauticians Dorothy Bell, Burnie Borders, and Carolyn Bailey Crisp are busily at work changing Martha Wilson Queen's, Patsy Shepherds, and Grace Yelton's hair coloring to the current fad of pastel green. Next I pass the store owned by Phate McSwain, the man who made the 12 dollar landing gear possible. Glancing in the window, I see Boss Charles Toms and his henchmen, Tommy Willis, Bob Towery, and jim Mauney, collecting the weekly protection money. From the radio of their parked jetmobile erupts the unmistakable sounds of The Grand Ole Oprey. Immediately I recognized the melodious voices of Carolyn Kidd, Margf Killian, Lunette Lewis, and Ioyce Grigg singing The Great Speckled Bird. They are accom- panied by the yodeling Cackle Sisters, Billie Ann Roberts and Martha Singleton. Deciding to visit the old Alma Mater, I board one of the quaint old Shelby Transit Buses. My money is taken by Frances Kelly and to my horrification I find that Carol Mabry is the driver. Sitting in front of me are the town gossips Barbara Lovelace, Pat Ledbetter, and Kay Lee talking about the scandalous party recently given by the Society Leaders, Carolyn Dedmon and Barbara Hopper. Stopping to put a few gallons of oil into the picturesque antiquity in which we travel, I find we are in front of the Shake It Off Charm School. There Christine Davis and Doris Capps are teaching jo Ann McSwain and Ruth Williams the art of driving men to insanity. Downstairs is the blood center, where Doctors julia Abernethy, Elinor Moorhead, and Barbara Francis are getting blood from jimmy Tucker and Richard Beam. This is no easy process. Every few minutes it is necessary to blow the head off it so it will go into the bottle. Finally reaching the school, I am warmly wel- comed by the principal, Doris Poole. jo Ann Bridges, Doris Ramsey, joan Kilpatrick, Edris Blanton, Irene Beam, and Dorothy Hamilton, now with the aid of the completely visual edu- cational system of teaching, are vainly striving to teach our kids and Charles Howell, who is still taking biology. But alas, my mind is weakening under the terrific strain and with great reluctance I retum to the present. In my short visit I saw that we, the class of '53, though loudly proclaimed by our elders as being of weak mind and of ir- responsible nature, will in the future make a better world. And as I retum, a feeling of con- tentment floods my being as I think of the promising future that awaits the class of '53. sf f H ' Lori: SMITH Prophet 0 ,sl -- - , 'o f.
