CLASS PROPHECY 412 North Dooley Street Hawkinsville, Georgia May 26, 1967 Dear Annie, Welcome back to the States. We are all very proud of the wonderful work you have done while you were engaged by the Medical Association in India. I'm sure it makes you feel very happy to know that you have played such an important roll in helping to re- duce the high death rate in India. We can never express our gratitude to you for discover- ing Formula X which will add at least five years to each of our lives. Well, I'm sure since you have been out of this country for quite a few years, you're not exactly up to date on the whereabouts of our classmates. I've tried to keep tabs on all of them and I have been fairly successful. I know you're anxious to hear about them, so I'll try to tell you briefly about each as I think of them. Our ex-next door neighbor, Willie jones, has at last had her dreams come true, she is a successful social worker in Paris. She received her degree in social work at N.Y.U. From the looks of her two children, I'd say Paris really agrees with them. I understand Willie has had the pleasure of hearing Susie Davis and Olivette Merrick in concert on many occasions. I'm sure you've heard of their fame. They have made two world tours thus far. Itls really wonderful how they have managed to run their families so successful and yet remain such great career women. Remember Helen Chavis and Evelyn Gregg? Well, both of them are holding important positions as French interpreters at the United Nations. They seem to be keeping up with each other, both have three children. You know, I always did think Anthony Ellis deserved a place in Washington, well, evidently, the citizens of North Carolina are of the same opin- ion, because he is now one of their senators and from all reports, he is doing an excellent job. - If you remember, Bright-Davies always did tell us she would become Mrs. Coleman, well, she knew what she was talking about. By the way she just returned from Europe, after completing a series of news articles on world affairs. I received a letter from Eliza- beth Tomlinson last week. She's all wrapped up in work as usual. She recently became Vice President of a large business firm in Frankfort, Germany. She was telling me that Dorothy Strachan is head of the Business Department at Florida A8cM. Howard Bethea stopped by here last month. He was on his way to the convention of Southern principals which was held at Florida A8cM. You can imagine how happy I was to see him. He was fortunate to become principal in his hometown. He was feeling very proud over having Ella Hannon Nance and Eva Green as members of his faculty. I received an invitation to the graduation of Claud Burch, jr., from Elementary School, a few days ago. His father is chief coach at the University of Illinois. Elsie is doing a good job of keeping up the home front. It's really hard to imagine them with a son twelve years old. I heard from Dorotha jackson, she had just spent two weeks with Elsie. She is instructor of Physical Education at the University of Ohio. Melvin Murrell or Snuffie is a very outstanding dentist in New Orleans. I know you heard about his discovery of a method of preventing tooth decay. It has really given him world-wide recognition. I know he hopes Melvin, lr., will follow in his footsteps. D. Belle Vandergriff Carter is also in New Orleans. She is enjoying life as a reception clerk in her new ultra-modern motel. I have a picture of her twins. Have you heard that Melvin Miller has recently been appointed Chief justice of the Supreme Court? Shirley Rolle is head of the Department of Elementary Education in Southern Florida. Last month, Ellen Wilder Chambliss played for her daughter's voice recital at Carnegie Hall. Mary Murphy Moore and Mary jones are presently employed as private secretaries to Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer motion picture czar, Samuel Goldwyn. Carrie Ivy Cobb ended her visit in Columbus last week, She is employed by Warner Brothers as a private secre- tary. I understand she was offered a screen test, but her heart must really be in her work, because she refused to accept this offer. Hudson Street Reed has opened a school of aero- nautics in Asbury Park. By the way, Bobby Clarke has really made a name for himself in sports. He set a new broad jump record at the Olympics. -.--. .. li -My ,S INF., U I
