CLASS PROPHECY And suddenly, visibly, the bare earth stopped, but continued under a shimmering robe of velvet as far as human eye could see. A robe, yes, whose slight majestic movements send upon the sparkling shores its pounding waves, caressing and re- treating, slowly, incessantly. Then the salty tangent breeze began to blow slowly o’er this robe and softly it whispered secrets to the high boughs of the trees. As I stood in the shadows, amazed at the beauty, I was suddenly overcome by a strong feeling and at the same time some mysterious power beckoned me into the moon- light.

The best of pals, Celia Needham and Claris Mabe were continuing their friend- ship working together in the Montgomery County Hospital as two outstanding nurses. A ray of moonlight flashed over the sign, ‘‘Floyd’s Grocery Store’’, which told me that Jack Floyd had taken over his father’s business in Ether. Clifton Allen was stationed in Norfolk, Virginia, a chief petty officer,while Alvin Wright was enjoying life as a sargeant in the army.
