CLASS PROPHECY As I sit in my beauty parlor in May, 1955, waiting for the next customer, I think back over what Helen Richard, a basketball coach at Lenoir Rhyne College, told me the day before as I was setting her hair. She told me that all my class- mates were building a great future for themselves, but the most exciting thing was that Miller Reep was Governor of North Carolina, and he had as his secretary Ruby Huss. She told me that Earnest Thomas was the owner and operator of Thomas' Furniture Co. of Lincolnton, and that William Robinson was studying to be a preacher at the Lutheran Theological Seminary, Columbia, South Carolina. I knew that Roy Hoyle always did like airplanes, and I was glad to hear that he has been successful as a flier of one of the largest airplanes in the United States. He has as stewardess on his plane, Mary Scronce. Iva Lee Roberts is a happy housewife. Knowing that Thomas Sain was always smart in his school work I was not surprised to hear that he was a professor at Duke University. Another of our oustanding students, Anita Bolinger, is Lincolnton's foremost woman doctor. Know- ing that a few of my classmates had great hopes of becoming nurses, I was interested in knowing about them. Mary Bolding is a laboratory technician in the Memorial Hospital in Charlotte while Daphine Conner is a nurse at the Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem. Ellen Jane Peeler is making a success as owner and manager of the Charlotte Children's Nursery, and Ruby Johnson is Van Johnson's private nurse. Next I was told that Pansy Scronce was a Congresswoman from North Caro- lina, and hearing of Pansy I naturally asked about Mary Alice Sigmon and Connie Jonas. I was told that lVIary Alice was the first policewoman in Lincolnton, and that Connie was working in the office of Jonas and Jonas, Lawyers. Evoyd Hull always did like to ride a motorcycle, and he is now a well-known daredevil motorcyclist. Glenn Lutz is driving a candy truck for the Lutz Candy Company in Lin- colnton. Ruth Leatherman, who had a great desire to be an artist, is going to the School of Arts in Washington. The three classmates that aroused my interest most were Marie Davis, and Carroll and Harold Heavner. Marie is a teacher of the Hrst grade at Union High School. Carroll and Harold are managers of I-Ieavner's Nursery for baby girls ranging from 18 to 25 years of age. Since I now know where all my classmates are, why go on thinking about them when I have work to do? Class Prophetess, SELENA LEONARD
