IANUARY CLASS PROPHECY Betty Reynolds Prophet Having for some time been interested in mental telepathy, I was more than pleased to have a telegram from Doctor Margaret Moran saying that she would stop over for a brief visit with Doctor Iuanita Hutchins and me on her way to Atlanta. Juanita has just hung out a shingle inviting doting mothers to bring their precocious children for a brain ex' amination. Sitting by the fire on her first evening, Dr. Moran told unbelievable stories of communications she had experienced in recent months. The most interesting one was that of contact with a college friend through a picture. Her story sounded reasonable when she told it. Suddenly I had a brilliant ideal Why not try your pet theory and find out what has become of our class- mates? It can be done by concentrating on their pictures-if there's anything in this scheme of yours, was my some- what sarcastic remark. Then I hunted up the old Black and Gold of 1938- somewhat worn and looking all of its twelve years. Without hesitation Doctor Moran turned to Mary Allred's picture and gazed steadily at it. She looked up at us and said, Don't hurry me and don't speak. For a full three minutes she looked at lVIary's face. I see Mary Allred as an already re- cognized poet. She has won the Thomas Hauser Literary prize with a book of her poems. She shifted her gaze to another picture. Charles Orrell is a struggling writer in New York City and has a small apartment with Tom Williamson, who is soda dispenser at a nearby drug- store. Her voice settled into a sort of monotone, Helen Lewis is a star report- Pagc thirty-eight 1 er for the Iournal and Sentinel, published by Ioe Minor with Bill Killian as as- sociate editor. Robert Shelton of Oxford University has just completed his new science study book, The Origin of Mon- keys, a subject on which he is an author- ity. Iuanita and I looked at each other and at the clock. The Doctor had been con- centrating for twenty minutes and seemed to have isolated herself from the living room and to be looking at far away scenes. Lloyd Disher is coaching the track team at his Alma Mater, and Gwendolyn Morris, with the aid of Nena Mae Hicks, has created quite a sensation by' starting organized football for girls. Dallas Cline is manager of a semi-pro baseball club in N. C., and catching for him is Iohn Craf- ford. Fuller Kearns is mentor for the Red Sox. With this statement she looked up, drew a deep breath. and smiled. Well, our classmates certainly aren't turning out as I expected, but one can't control the Fates. Take Tom Holcombe, for instance. She turned back to the book. He was the most intellectual boy in our class, and I see him now-yes, the picture's coming back-coach of an unknown football team in Alabama. She turned another page and was again in that far away world. Rose Lefkowitz is buyer for Sosnik's in Win- ston, and Ethel Cohen is her assistant. Howard Chambers is leading the Ameri- can Legion band in the home town, and Carlton Byrd is teaching the fourth di- mension in old R. R. Allen Carroll and Albert Frye are Fuller Brush sales- men and make their headquarters in Ra- leigh, N C., where Maxwell Davis is tContinued on page 208l REYNOLDS HIGH SCHOOL
