ELAINE BENNETT Prophet This is the year 1955 and many strange changes have taken place in the last ten years. This is now truly a world of science. The car has been done away and everyone is riding in helicopters. As I sit in my office overlooking Grand Central Station, I see swarms of people buzzing in and out. I begin to wonder about the Class of ’45 under the guiding hand of Miss Sturgis. As I see a helicopter fly pass my window, I decide to go back to Wadesboro and see my old classmates. I open a door on to the roof of my building, walk out, get into my helicopter, and begin my journey southward to my Alma Mater. As I park my helicopter on the main drag in Wadesboro, a large electric sign catches my eye. It reads “It Could Never Be Worse” starring Mar- garet “Lana Turner” Smith and Bill “Alan Ladd” Lewis. It seems Marty and Bill have really made a name for themselves in the world of acting. The “Do-Reet” Theater where this is being shown is run by none other than Charles Adcock and the ticket girl is that pretty little Inda Hildreth. After all these years Charles and Inda are still together. I walk on down the street and there stands the large professional building. I see a sign reading Dr. Richard Covington, Chiropractor, and Dr. John Williamson, Chiropodist. It seems Dick and John have as their nurses Mildred Williamson and Juanita Johnson. Rumor has it ‘Play-Boy” Bert Thomas, the town’s leading attorney, visits there quite often to see Milly. Next to the professional building stands “Hardi- son and Stogner Dress Shop.” Peggy runs the shop, while Homer does the designing. The creations of Paris were never so lovely and the models never so beautiful. I am surprised to see that so many of these models are from the Class of 745. The girls employed here are Edna Gray Henley, Ruth Smith, Rebecca Marsh, and Sadie McLaurin. Cass Prophecy I hear a band in the blue. I turn to see a large building with lights around it, reading “The Ritzy Bitzy Club.” I walk in and am amazed to see the band is being lead by that well known trumpet player Bill Beck. Bill has as his pianist that ador- able blond Sara Lou Thompson. But Lou isn’t the only pretty blond here, I see another in front of the band. Yes, I think Bill must really like blonds for his voealist is Roxie ‘‘Blondie’ McQuage. The “Ritzy Bitzy” is being run by Earl Henry. Earl seems to spend most of his time dancing with his secretary Julia Burr. I walk out of the night club feeling very tired and sleepy, and decide to resume my adventures the next day. I spend the night at the “Wall-Rat” Hotel owned by Tom Wall and Bill Surratt. Bill and Tom have as their hotel guest that famous poet Bill “Longfellow” Muldrow. Bill kept every- one awake reciting his best loved poem, ‘The Smoky Mountains.” The next morning I resumed my sight seeing tour. Around the corner from the hotel is a neat little office. On the door is a sign reading “All but the Lonely Hearts.” This Lonely Hearts’? Bu- reau is being run by Thelma Caudle, Louise Cran- ford, and Cora Hillard. It seems Joe Winfree carries on correspondence with all of them. I see a cafeteria across the street and I decide to go in and eat. The cafeteria is run by Esther ‘Milton. Esther tells me she has two hostesses that I know, Alma Henry and Mary Jordon. Alma also tells me they are having the “Swing Bowl” football game this afternoon in the W.H.S. Stadium, Vale vs. Yarvard. I am amazed to find that the coa ches of the two challenging teams are friends of mine, Coach Richard Clark of Vale and Coach Bill Tice of Yarvard. I learn that that dra- matic sports announcer Chapman Hill is to announce the game. Before the game “Chap” is gcine to give the profile of two great Coaches “Rich” and “Rab.” I come out into the sunlight once more and I see before me a building I have never seen before. It is the new library building, “The Students’ Resort,” used only by W.H.S. students, founded by Christine Hanna. Here any student is able to get a short writeup of any book for a book report. “Crip” has as her most capable assistant, Martha Ruth Kendall. All at once I hear some one scream in my ear, “Extra! Extra!” Buy your “Gossiping Observer!!” I turn to see a small lad selling papers, and buy one. On the front page I see in large letters Editor-in-Chief: Caroline Gulledge; Associate Edi- tor: Mary France Lowe. It seems “C. G.” and (Continued on page 55) Page Twenty-Three
