CLASS PROPHECY During my vacation from coaching girls ' basketball in Tarboro High I try to find out how each of my former classmates has taken his place in the world. It has now been ten years since we graduated from good old Tarboro High and among those whom we now find married to their one-and-only, are Mar- garet Ann Marshall, Miriam Sawyer, Ann Edmondson, Clara Mae Lilley, June Wilson, Peggy Manning, and Mary Alice Long. While on a visit to New York I visited Patsy Johnson, who is now a famous Power ' s model and Betty Lou White, who is her private beautician. I a ] so found that Grace Walston is now running her own beauty sa ' on with Virginia Little and Evelyne Knox, as two of her paid beauticians. While reading a New York paper, I found an artic ' e written by our own Roland Taylor. In it he mentions the fact that Scran Green and Creighton Brinson have taken their places in the world as fu ' l Hedged doctors. Among their staff of nurses we find Joyce Evans and Margie Stell. Mr. Taylor a o mentioned the fact that Garland Burnett and Cullen Cobb are now p ' aying with the New York Yankees. Before leaving New York I paid a visit to Cotton Guill, who is now head of a large busin ess concern. While I was being shown around I noticed Anne Hagans, Jean Haggerty, Ruby Harris, Marie Edmondson, Barbara Cartledge, and Billie Ward among his large staff of stenographers. On my way home I happened to meet Norwood Abrams, who is now a very prosperous hobo. While I was talking to him he mentioned the fact that he had just passed through Hopkinsvillej Kentucky, where he renewed acquaint- ances with Patsy Spiers, who is now a well known horseback riding instructor at Bethel Woman ' s College. He also said that George Britt and Felix Stallings -are now two very famous electrical engineers. Arriving back in Tarboro, I found that Johnny Bryant is now a bookkeeper in his father ' s business. Among those who are fortunate enough to own small businesses of their own we find that Charles Sexton has now taken over his father ' s grocery store and James Griffin is still making a go of his little cafe on Main Street. Billy Eason is now the proud owner of one of the most up-to-date farms in Edgecombe County. Tarboro High didn ' t lose all of its students when we graduated. Margaret Thomas has taken over Mrs. Morse ' s place and is now teaching the present day students algebra and geometry. Last, but not least, we find Eddie Roberson the proud manager of the very much improved McCrory ' s Dime Store. Tarboro High had a grand group of students to graduate in 48 and as the years go by I ' m sure that we will hear many more interesting things about that grand group of boys and girls.
