rc., we S32 -w51r..,.r PROPHECY OF IANUARY CLASS, 1937 Anne Fort, Prophet On a cold Ianuary day in 1947 I hur- ried into the home of Mrs. Pat Patterson lLouise Hendersonj. Come right in, Louise explained You could never guess what I'm doing. Anne, I'm addressing cards to all the members of the '37 graduating class in- forming them of the alumni meeting to be held next month. How do you find time for so many things, Louise? I questioned. I have so much business to handle in my beauty shop, that I can hardly do all that's re- quired of me. I imagine the Ann Art Beauty Shop- pe does keep you busy, but I promised Helen Willard, secretary of the class, I would address these cards for her. She is a buyer for the Silver's Store, Inc., and is on a business trip. I hope she can get back for the reunion. We settled down to addressing cards, and who should be listed first but the class sponsor, Mrs. Laerski lMiss Daisy Lee Glasgowj. The he turned out to be not a fake but a reality. However, she couldn't give up her job, for she hop- ed that she might meet another gem U1 like the Ianuary Class of 1937. 'Al hate to ask G. R. away from his pleasant job, with the Pulliam Under- takers, but we must have him here, Louise said. Doris Davis 'fthe great debaterf' was reached by sending a card to Richmond, Virginia where she charms the court with her oratorical ability and beauty. Mildred Carroll receives her card in Richmond, for of course, wherever David is, Ionathan is not far away. Mildred is the head of the Recreation Depart- ment of Richmond. Two cards found their way to New York. There Henry Folsom is the owner of Folsom Ready to Wear Store. The slogan is Fol 'som values up to take home. Wilmoth Money has found a BLACK AND GOLD way to use her graceful walk by model- ling woman's clothes in Henry's store. Pauline Yontz keeps up with all as editor of the Twin Gitymite-from the smallest announcement in the society world to the biggest business deal. E Only yesterday I read that Marshall Bodenheimer had been appointed man- ager of S. H. Kress and company. Iua- nita Cline, who was floorlady in the store here, has been transferred to the Greensboro store. On the society page appeared the an- nouncement Miss Beatrice Markland had been quietly married to Mr. K. Ever- hart. My goodness, I thought, think of Beatrice doing anything quietly! Addressed to the Twin City Day Nursery one card reached Ruth Gate- wood, the friend of children. Two youngsters who stay there are packed off to bed early every night with a promise from their mother, Mrs. Scott fElizabeth Crowl that when they are high school seniors they can stay up as late as they wish. The city library recived two cards- the ones to Opal Brown and Louise Ni- fong. Miss Baity has trained them so well that they are very efficient librarians especially in helping students find ma- terial for Mrs. Laerski's history assign- ments. The Mayflower Hotel, Washington, D. C. two cards read. There lack Styron and his orchestra furnish dinner music with Virginia Brock, as soloist. One card went to a young lady who has a perfect right to hold men's hands. At the Iohn Hopkins Institute in Balti- more, Maryland, Virginia Easter, per- forms her duties. Frances Perryman and Frances Peg- ram were reached at the Wachovia Bank. They have proved to be valu- able stenographers in that business, fContinued on page 203l Page thirty-one
