Prophecy As I sat by the window watching the snow fall one afternoon, I marveled at the beauty of the scene. Each snowflake was an individual thing and very unlike the rest. My thoughts drifted back into the past - back to my class- mates in school. In each snowflake I could see the face of one of my friends. Then it seemed that one large snowflake drifted onto the window sill and burst. A geni in the form of a snowman appeared and told me what had become of these dear classmates of mine. First he told me that Edna Kennedy had achieved fame in Carnegie Hall with her piano Rhapsody in J. Minor. Doyle McLeod is now living in West Virginia and is mining coal with his father-in-law. Sue Shaw chose journalism as a career and has become a success. Her latest book is ‘‘I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles’’. A. D. Evans,Jr. is a star basketball player for the ‘‘Black Ankle Sureshots’’. Martha Davis is head nurse at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Joe Hough is a Baptist minister and lives in the parsonage at Star, North Carolina. Remell Dunn is a leading fashion designer in New York. Jean Wright is an airplane hostess for the American Air Lines. Jerry Don Reynolds is now driving a truck for the P and W Trucking com- pany. , Polly Sheffield is a secretary to a famous surgeon. Ruth Deaton is now married and living in Asheboro. M arie Brewer is a nurse in Montgomery County Hospital. Lacy Williams, Jr. is now in the grocery business with his father. Nancy Maness’s dream has finally come true. She has completed her nurses’ training and is at the moment caring for twin boys. Phyllis Phillips’s acting ability has brought her fame. She is now a movie star in Hollywood. Is your farm stock ailing? Call Dr. Don Morgan, Veterinarian. Ernest Davis is farming in Moore County. Albert Hancock, Jr. is now in the United States Navy. Another member of our class has entered this branch of the service. Frances Rose is a lieutenant in the Waves. Bobby Trogdon is a well-driller inthe employment of one of his relatives. Donald Maness is a great inventor of flying saucers. Maude Davis, a leading model in New York, has acquired that Northern brogue. Susie Presnell has become a nurse in a naval hospital and is constantly bringing cheer to those lonely sailors. J. E. Morgan is still boarding socks at Clayson Knitting Company. His love-life is still a major problem. Grace Dean Wiles is now playing professional basketball with the McCrary Eagles. Having completed his education at Citadel Gene Ingold is now an electrical engineer. Edward Wright is a successful business man in Richmond, Virginia.
