fi Hard-boiled editor-Mayor for an hour-Victim of writer's cramp REYNOLDS HIGH IUNE CLASS PROPHECY Calder Womble and Henry Newsome, Prophets Time-1955 Place-Main Street of the world's fourth largest city, Winston-Salem, N. C. Characters-Calder Womble, L. L. D. Henry Newsome, M. D. Newsome-Well, if it isn't our Beau Brummel of the Senate, Calder Womble. Hows the world treating you, master mind? Vkfomble-just fine, Doc, how're your guinea pigs do- ing? Newsome-Oh, they're o. k. I guess. What have you been doing these last few years? I haven't seen you since the 1945 Duke-Carolina game. Say, that was a game, wasn't it? Carolina would have done more than tie you though, if the game hadn't been called because the water boys, Bill Iohntz of Duke and Bill Hill of Carolina, got into a fight over who was to take co-ed Mary Garvey to the five day Senior Hop in Raleigh. Womble-Aw, you wouldnt have either. Carolina was lucky to get off with a tie. Newsome-That's just your idea. Say, how did that breach of promise suit come out that Mae Martin- better know by her screen name May Bast- brought against play-boy Ted Brothwick? Womble-1 defended poor Ted as well as any one could against such experienced witnesses as Helen Thomas, Morton Silverstein, and Iuliana Hanks. Hugh Ratcliff, the plaintiffs counsel had a rather weak case, but Mae's personal charms made up for that and caused judge Sam McCracken to give her 525,000 Newsome-I don't doubt it. By the way, did you read the editorial in the New York Times in which Bill East blasted the recent presidential campaigns of Moyer Hendrix, communist, jack Trotman, anti- 1:1065 prohibitionist, and Bill Wallace, the victorious De- mocratic nominee? Womble-I certainly did. Say, what kind of a first lady of the land do you suppose the former Mary Lou Brown will make?-All of which reminds me that I saw her at a prize-fight the other night when Willard Beeson took the heavy-weight title from Buddy Powell, jr. She was escorted by Frank Al- spaugh, who recently made quite a hit in the 'Sweetheart of Frankenstein , co-starring with Nan Davis who made her debut two years ago in Natures Best. Seated next to them were those chorus-boys Raymond Masten, Charlie Murray, Chauncey Cunningham, and Charlie Tucker. Newsome-That sounds like old home week. I re- member when all those now famous people were mere students back at Reynold's High. Have you heard what's become of any other of our old class- mates? Womble-I surely have. Rosa Lee Kirby has just an- nounced her engagement to Mahatma Gandi's grandson. David Ashburn, by the way, has just joined the French Foreign Legion with Bill Seawell, l who was just sworn into the Bachelors Club by President Buddy Yates. Kenneth Clay has become sole owner of Ye Olde Curb Service Shoppe which covers a whole block in Chicago. Mary Louise Rousseau just made public her intention to devote the rest of her life in running a home for other spinsters disappointed in love. That's all I can think of except that someone told me that B. R. Browder has made good since he organized his band. Can't you think of someone else? Newsome-Let me see! Several of them have gone back to carry on the work at dear old R. R. QContinued to page 1511
