c 0 A Look Into the Future 0 0 Today is a momentous day for the 1957 graduates of Tappahannock High School. Sir Lloyd Brooks, the great Gulf multibillionaire, is entertaining this class at his fabulous gold-gilded mansion overlooking the Rappahannock River, which now, because of Sir Lloyd ' s generosity, has become a thriving vacation resort. In just a moment we will converse with some of the old classmates but for the time being we will fill you in on their achievements and occupations since graduation. First we shall tell you about our most gracious host. Sir Lloyd began his great career as a gas pump jockey in a Tappahannock Gulf station. Now, because he has put forth so much hard labor, he is the owner of every Gulf gas station in the United States, Europe, Canada, South America, and Africa. Speaking to our host at this moment is Donald Schools, who runs his own institute which teaches shy pupils to be more audacious. Coming up next we see Ellen Akers and Ruby Hodges who are both professors at the University of Essex. Miss Akers is professor of chemistry and Miss Hodges is professor of Latin. We shall move over to the refreshment table where we see Miss Nancy Fry who is serving as Sir Lloyd’s hostess for the evening. Standing by the punch bowl in a cluster we see Barbara Lumpkin, Robert Allen, and Marvin Tune, gaily reminiscing over the days at T. H. S. Miss Lumpkin is married but retains her maiden name as a stage name in the Metropolitan opera. Mr. Tune and Mr. Allen are also happily married and are both professional men. Mr. Tune is a lawyer; Mr. Allen a Judge on the Supreme Court. Now we see Linda Coghill and Benny Davis, that great comedy team of TV fame. On the side Miss Coghill runs a pep school for dull lassies. Out on the patio we see Patricia Carreras, famed for possessing the longest blond ponytail in the western hemisphere. To her right is Peggy Mullin, a marriage counsellor who just became engaged to a psychiatrist. This gentleman approaching us now is Copeland DeShazo, who operates the largest farm implement agency this side of Warsaw. In a far corner of the patio we see the former Miss Sally Christopher wrapped in sables, accompanied by her well-known doctor husband. Back in the ball room we see Jack Waring and Julia Lankford performing an intricate dance step which they picked up on their tour of Nigeria. Watching them are Audrey Allen, Jane Hillyer, Evelyn Brooks, and Harlan Hayes. Miss Allen is a policewoman. Miss Hillyer is a scientist. Miss Brooks is an efficiency expert and Mr. Hayes sings bass in the National Glee Club of Essex County. Allen Elliott, heir to the Safeway fortune, is here with Audrey Brizendine, first Vice President of that business. Mr. Bobby Winder, largest junk dealer in the world, is present with Nellie Turner, his business manager. Talking with them is Manrid Winder who is now a famous congressman and possesses much influ- ence, especially concerning agricultural issues. Now discussing politics with Mr. Winder we see Virginia Smith, the first congresswoman from this district, and Margaret Stevens, who is quite famous in the field of medical research. Nettie Moore and Jean Wharton listen intently while Shirley Tate, now a great composer, sings one of her latest compositions. Miss Moore is well-known for her efficiency in the THS office. Charlotte Evans, from whom even Elvis has adopted a hair style, cruised up the river in her fine yacht. And so the party continues smoothly on with many memories being recreated and much reminiscing taking place. Sir Lloyd has shown his graduation class a fabulous time on this memorable day. As dusk closes in on the riverside mansion the guests notice that its golden walls are beginning to tarnish. Each bidding the other fond farewells they depart to go their own ways, taking with them memories of this occasion which will remain dear to them the rest of their lives.
