Class Prophecy As I was walking down the street one day who should I meet but my old friend Dorothy Rennie. As women are always prone to gossip, we two were no exception. We talked about what some of our former class-mates of the Senior Class of 1945 were doing but, as much as we both get around, there were some we just didn’t know about. Wanting to see them all again, we decided to call a class reunion and the date set was for April 6, 1994. When we all gathered together that day, we certainly were a happy crowd,, and I managed to find out precisely what each one was doing. Imagine my surprise when I learned that Hildren Blandford was a hermit in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Lynn Carpenter had become head mandolin player with the Smokey Moun¬ tain Boys. He is getting more education by going to night school. Howard Cai-per is still a single, good-looking lawyer with slightly graying hair. He is also still indulging in his old hobby, that of dating a blond. Eugene Funkhouser is now our most famous member and was unable to at¬ tend because of the press of his duties in running for President of the United States on the Republican ticket. His party is boosting the campaign by selling purple Funkhouser buttons. Bobby Gibbs followed a circus to Mexico and there married a Mexican cook. He is rolling in fat from the food his wife cooks and now has three children, “Lolita”, “Rosita” and “Conchita.” Jimmie Hutton has become Prosecuting Attorney of New York State, and incidentally sprouts a Dewey-style moustache. Helen Goi’don is now Attorney Hutton’s private secretary. Douglas O’Connell has taken Miss Cochran’s place giving music lessons at dear old Stonewall High. Glenvil Whitacre, having started as office boy, is now publisher of the Wash¬ ington Post. Dorothy Rennie has succeeded Mary Hayworth in writing “Advice to the Love Lorn Column” in the Washington Post. Gertrude Stump takes Frances Perkins place as Secretary of Labor. Mary Catherine Williams plays center field for the professional “Stephenson Polecats” Softball team, which has the odds to win this year’s World Series. Eugene Funkhouser became fascinated with Dorothy Owens’ purple sweaters and they are now happily married. Catherine Golightly eloped with “Smithy” Dorsey and now lives in a small cabin in Tennessee. Hazel Bageant is auditioning for a place as a soprano singer in the Metro¬ politan Opera Company. Of course, she has been trying for 25 years. Remember how Mary Ellen Nethers held the office of Vice-President in most activities at school? Well, now she is Vice-President of a Physical Education Board Mary Catherine White is Aviatrix with the Transcontinental Air Ways. Signed: Hazel Bageant, Class Prophet
