CLASS PROPHECY We have no right to claim clairvoyance, but the characteristics, habits, and ways of acting around school, speak so loudly of the future that indeed it is like a vision for us, and we interpret it is of the year of our Lord one thousand, nine hundred and fifty-five. Well, the war is over — Ray Wimmer has claimed Lois Wallace as his bride for several years. Ray is Professor Wimmer, teaching mathematics in Tazewell High School. Margaret Brewster is also associated with her alma mater, and has charge of the shop, where her specialty is welding. Al- meda Crockett boards with Lois, as she is now county nurse. Betty Byrd Huffman is President of Lynchburg College, and is still talking. Lois Lindsay is col¬ lege doctor, and the two of them are still wonder¬ ing when the man-shortage will cease. Elsie Meek is piloting a plane from Pisgah to San Francisco. A regular passenger is Margaret Thompson, who commutes from Thompson Val¬ ley to Hollywood for her engagements as an actress. Mary Jane Floyd also is a frequent pas¬ senger, as it is necessary for her to visit Hollywood about the screen production of her stories. Billy Gregory is in charge of the airport as Pisgah, and he and David Webb have designed the newest and fastest models. Joe Dunaway s the preacher of a large church in Chicago, where he frequently consults with the scientist, Pat Padgett. Pat has achieved fame in two fields—the longest stepper in a walking con¬ test; and he has built the better mouse trap, operated by electricity. Brown Harman is a merchant, operating the Tazewell Ladies - Ready - to - Wear Department Store. Edith Lambert and Myrtle Dickens are his efficient clerks, and Pauline Lester is his steno¬ grapher. Nonye Rhudy is a successful history teacher. She is responsible for a new method of grading, in which “E” is recognized as a passing grade. Charles King is manager for the Princeton Tigers, a famous basketball team. Ralph Lester is associated with him and manages a theater also. Ruth Bowen is managing the farm, and in addition operates a boat up and down the river. Thelma Paulev, a teacher of home economics, also advertises Aunt Jemima Pancake flour over WHIS. Alice Justice is still trying to grow tall, while teaching school in Richmond. Virginia. Sybil Schell, an Aide to the President of the United States, keetas her finger on the pulse of the country through Ann Barnett, the Editor of The New York Times. On the staff of the Times we find Janice Sawvers, business manager: Janice Taylor, writer of advice to the love-lorn: and Marie Caudill, tips on the latest styles. Clyde Beavers is operating the company store at Bishop, and Ruth Myers is his secretary. The sensational picture “Dark and Handsome’’ has just been completed, and we find Jim Hagy the hero. Billie Lambert’s singing and her famous jazz band help make this picture great. Louise Lockhart publishes a small magazine, called “Beauty Hints”. This is very popular both for the men and the ladies. Juanita Meade is a John Powers model, and advertises Drene shampoo. Alice Wilburn is post mistress at Tip Top. and Evelyn Ritter is her clerk. Lena Davidson, principal of a school for girls, has Ellendar Daniel for her secretary, and Ruth Herndon as her business manager, Louise White as teacher of music and art, and James Robinson as her lawyer. Louella Wilson is now the District Attorney, and is heard on station CBS on Thursday nights. The new Fords are sensational in design, due to the original ideas of Clifton De Hart. “Everything green and fresh” is- the slogan of Mary Frances Grubb and her. husband on their farm in Thompson Valley. Bailey Slaughter is continuing the study of mathematics. Einstein’s theory has been out moded, and a new one advanced. Charles Robin¬ son continues to contribute valuable advice to bailey. Jack Harrison is a busy dairy farmer who de¬ lights in his spare minutes to plan the future for his twin sons. Mary Faye French, an opera star, is heard often in the Metropolitan Opera House. Iris Harman, the one man-hater of our class, is teaching algebra in a boys school in North Carolina. Mary Jane Stinson has won fame as a de¬ signer in Vogue. Danny Myers is conducting an airplane sales agency, and he employs Jaunita Pruett and Jean Gregory as secretaries. Hadley Pobst owns and operates the largest jewelry store in Southwest Virginia, and now has in his possession the crown jewels of Japan. Lillian Lewis and Joan Yost are at last separa¬ ted—Lillian being the head nurse in a New York hospital, while Joan is in charge of the nurses in Richmond Medical School. Fred Gillespie, handsome and silent, still, has posted around his farm the signs “No Skirts Wanted!” And in contrast to Fred, we find Leon happily married and living quietly on his farm at Gratton. Robert Patterson pilots the Greyhound Heli¬ copter Service from Tazewell to points south. Kenneth Stanley accompanies Robert on these trips when he can get away from his wife and seven children. Denver Pennington is superintendent of mines at Bishop. Dotty Brotherton and Florence Buchanan are nurses in the Clinch Valley Clinic. The W. W. Mac Store of Tazewell has re¬ cently been enlarged and redecorated under the new manager, Mary Bundy. Margaret Clark, who for several years has taught at Mary Washington College, is now dean of the school. Tommy Altizer. who learned the ways of Richmond early in life, is now governor of the state. Betty Martin. Rosina Mastro, and Maxine Meadwell are operating a beauty shop in Bluefield, and are specializing in make-up for men. Allene Sparks is a social service worker in Trenton, N. J., and Faye Yost is atsociated with her. Rosa Lamantia can be heard daily in a radio program over the Green Network, as she tells the fairy tales to the kiddies. The vision fades, the panorama changes, and we are back to now.
