i . -and heartaches--as well as spring fever need doctoring! SOUTH HIGH IUNE CLASS PROPHECY Alfred Livengood, Prophet Good afternoon. This is station T-I-M-E bringing you the annual South and Reynolds football classic. The weather is warm and a large crowd is here in Phillips Stadium to watch these two teams battle. Today, November 8, 1949, we come to watch this event. As teams have not taken the field, l'll look around and call attention to notables here We notice the country's most famous woman law- yer, Frances Elledge, is here. lack Brown, that sensational stooge on Uber Stan- ford's Hotamales Hour, is giving us an act. We see Evelyn Shaver, famous actress from Iulian Wall's studio, surrounded by admirers. The chief of these is Ormel Walker, a Missouri Senator. We notice some teachers together near the side lines. Wait and I'll see if I can identify them. Yes, there's Martha Gray Mickey, Marjorie Reavis, Alma Ray, Dorothy Holden, and Leake Masten. Leake is teaching English at Atkins High. What a surprise! Mary Clodfelter, three times di- vorcee, has entered the stands. She has returned from Reno where she married Albert Waggoner, Texas Ranch owner. Down in front are such notables as Raymond Wood, executive of the Catchy Safety Pin Company. Raymond is with Norma Allen, his secretary and chief yes-woman. As you know, at any large gathering someone may faint or become ill. To combat this a number of nurses are here to handle any emergency. They include Virginia Peddycord, Margaret Simmons, Edna Harrold, and Bernice Sink. Mildred Markland, that modern Annie Oakley, has entered on the old gray mare ! There is multi-mil- lionaire, Richard Hoover, a W. P. A. worker, in the guest box. These aviators are in the croud: Non Stop Wall, Solo Taylor, and Crash Charles.

Band mem- bers are lack Dease, Elizabeth Hayes, and Helen Sapp. We see out in front several clowns from Catherine Browns A'Gone With The Wind Circus. Another distinguished guest is Aubrey Gray, mayor of that great city, Guthrie. Cheerleaders lane Conrad and lane Clark, out in front, seem to be spry for their age.

. x .29 Q' r if Iwi li if Q , 'Tis May, the month of royalty'-and romance- SOUTH HIGH IAN UARY CLASS PROPHECY Miriam Peeler, Prophet January 1940 New York I had boarded a plane in Florida to return to New York to my work after designing another dress for Estelle Welch, the most popular model of the year. During my trip, I met on board ship Doris Iacobs, who is the air hostess, and in the course of our con- versation, our graduation at South High ten years ago came up. Naturally I asked if she knew what had hap- pened to any of the people who graduated when we did. She said that after a long time-Marie Devine, Inez Ferris, and Mildred McGee were married. I also learned that the pilot of our plane was Billy Caffey, with Marguerite Walker as his assistant. On my return to New York, I saw Eugene Hutchins starring at the Capitol theater with Annie Lee Sprinkle in Paradise While trying to keep from being stepped on after the show, I ran into Mr. E1 Mrs. Clifton Dunnagan tour Louise Ervinl, the leaders of the social set in New York. She said that Monroe Caffey had a swell orchestra at the Waldorf As- toria Hotel, and that Don Simpson had made himself a great name as a lawyer, and had as his secretary Arlinda Pardue. Cn Park Avenue I bought a New York Times, and in big headlines was Elizabeth Crews, Worlds Most Famous Tap Dancer, Returns From Hollywood. On the professional page was Fostina Parsons pic- ture. She was to sing with the Metropolitan opera chorus on Friday night. F5565 The sports page held a big surprise. Bobby Clarke, the sports writer, had a grand write-up about the foot- ball team this year at Duke. Robert Davis had won another wrestling match, and Clifton Iaro is now the Demon of the speedway. In the mail I received a Winston-Salem Iournal and a page of the paper had been given to the grad- uates of South High ten years ago. Erma Ioyner, President of the P. T. A. at Forest Park School had made a talk to the present graduates of South High. Birchel Griflin had been made head nurse at the City Memorial Hospital, Ruby Hicks was the new owner of the Ideal, Dorothy Byrd is a teacher at South High, and Dorothy Leach is a well known hair dresser. Beulah Sink is librarian at South High. May Campbell is Dean of Women at Salem College, and Lawrence Williard is manager of the Winston-Salem Twins. lust the other day I saw a new pose of Bernice Clodfelter on the front of the Good Housekeeping Magazine. She has gone in for posing in a big way. I. W. Sharpe, President of the United States, is making a trip to Winston-Salem, and in his company is Ed Snider, the President's body guard. Elizabeth Williard has also gone in for politics. She eats, sleeps, and drinks them. W Last, but by no means least, we have our doctor. Ada Woods, famous skin specialist, is in Washington. The mid-term class of South High has done and is doing what their school would expect of them, and we shall all keep trying to make a success of our lives in the years to come.
