CLASS PROPHECY Taking time out from my fashion designs in New York this year, 1951, I picked up several of my old home town papers and found a surprisingly large number of familiar names there. My personal maid, Lillien Sneed, Valedic- torian of the Senior Class, came into the room just then to sweep up and seemed as interested as I in what we found there. A picture of Billy Bolton covered the front page. He is the most prominent General in the U. S. Army now after being drafted and leaving his wife, the former Jimmy Lee Hendry. Peggy Mc- Caskill, now an Army nurse, once saved Cullen Thompson’s life with artificial respiration. A magnificent ad covered half a page telling of the wonderful meats obtainable at Josie Poppell and Leonard Cone’s famous slaughter house. On the next page we found the pictures of a large traveling musical show which has proved to be a colossal success under the shrewd management of Jerry Dickert. Making hot licks for an intricate chorus number are Flora Jo Alston, Louise Lee, and Lou Ella Jenkins plus Jack Fowler’s very sweet voice. They are part of the most celebrated swing band in the country, that of J. W. Johnston. The high stepping chorus, once the pride of T. C. H. S., was composed of Margaret Mc- Leod, Erlene Campbell, Hilda Bass, Carolyn Markey, and Mable Ashton. I called my best models, Frances Louque and Aleene Walker to see this and Lillien came breathlessly back with Adolph Kemp and Martin Agner, the janitor and garbage man, respectively. We were surprised to find that Wilma Lee, voted the blondest blonde in the South, does a modified acrobatic dance. I already knew that Barbara Hendry, Lucille Millinor, and Loisell Edwards were joint owners of the Green Derby”, the most exclusive night club in New York. Billy George serves very satisfactorily as their bouncer; Harry Counce makes an impressive doorman; and Evelyn Raulerson and Ellen Parker as wait- resses. The Green Derby” was visited recently by the President of the United States, F. P. Johnson, accompanied by his body guard, Edwin Evans. Mr. Presi- dent also brought along his private secretary Gloria Gilmore, who in turn brought her private secretary, Annie Lou Guess. As we turned the pages in the news- paper, we found that Caraway Hines and Burnice Hand, because of their sym- pathetic nature, had sailed to China as missionaries. Mary Wood returned from England where she was proclaimed champion woman wrestler of the world, with Zona Reams as her manager and stand-in. On the last page we found a human interest story on the two old maids who live high on top of Lawson Mountain all alone. Imagine our surprise to find that they were Eveline Cox and Betty Ottensman! We picked up another paper. There on the front page, was a picture of G. T. Page, high on top of a steeple. It seems that he’s the most fearless steeple jack in America. At the bottom of the page was a notice to the effect that excellent murals would be painted at low cost on your barn, house, or any available space by Mary Helen Whitfield. We found that Perry now has a swell dancing school with Ree Cox teaching jitterbugging and Horace Millican teaching waltzes with a small band. A whole column on the second page was devoted to the wedding of Mildred Walker to a doctor of the same name. They fell in love right after he inherited a dude ranch. They are leaving for Arizona shortly and taking Evelyn Hunter with them. Evelyn is champion dishwasher of FLORIDA and is evidently hunting new fields. To top it off, Virginia Dice has inherited a canary farm consisting of 3,000 canaries, and be- cause he loves little birds so and is planning a singing career in life, Rufus Moody takes care o'f the farm. They say he sits in the huge cages warbling for days at a time. In the last paper we found that Ina Rae Woods, assisted by Eunice Mc- Daniel, is on a good will tour to South America, teaching the natives the Ameri- can version of the Conga. As I glanced up from my reading, a new face appeared at the window—that of the window washer, Ernest Tedder. He informed me that when he was home last he courted” the three school teachers, Jackie Tuten, Lillian Nix, and Ma- cille Parker, who acquired their degrees from the T. S. C. W. (Tide Swamp Col- lege for Women). (Signed), THE CLASS PROPHET.
