Class Prophecy July 30, 1950 Dear Mr. Blewett: While touring the states, I saw many of the former students from Walton high, and I thought you would like to hear about them. When in Miami, at one of the large hotels, I discovered that Josephine Hinote was the dietitian, and I was entertained by Horace Richardson and His Swingsters. Do you remember them at Walton in 1940? I journeyed up to Jacksonville, Florida, on the Eastern Atlantic. Who should be managing that up-to-date railway system but Clary Brown. W. C. Robinson was the first Vice-President of the road. Then on to Pensacola, and there, out at the Na- val Air Station, I found Cecil Evans designing air- planes and Hubert Adkison one of the test pilots. In New Orleans as I walked down the street, the sign of a beauty salon caught my eyeg the oper- ators were Annie Sue Sowell, Myrtle Carroll and Johnnie Rhea Wayne. In the front of the shop, be- hind a large desk, was the bookkeeper, Molena Strickland. And can you imagine? The plane I took to St. Louis was designed by the Page-Thompson Corp. CWe always knew that Billy and Hillard would work togethelxl One of the stewards was Lucile Caldwell. As I sat in the lobby of a hotel, I picked up the St. Louis Commentator, and was pleasantly sur- prised to find that Miss Anna Knepper had been promoted to director of nurses at the George Wash- ington hospital, and that Dr. Edith Klein, the child specialist, from New York City, had been visiting the hospital. The article also gave names of the nurses who received medals for excellent work, and some of them were our classmates back in Walton, Juanita Little, Mary Marse and Lita Spires. In Kansas City a teachers' meeting was being held. Professor Ivan Goyer was in charge, and I heard someone remark that Helen Ward was to speak on the life of John Milton, and Mildrid Wil- liams to lecture on how to teach Spanish more ef- fectively. As I entered the airport in Kansas City, I saw hundreds of people crowded about a plane., If asked the driver what the occurrence was, he said that Annette Harrell Chave you heard about her latest picture, The House on the Hill? 7 had just ar- rived. With her she had her private aviator, Cleo Harvell, and secretary, Juanita Evans. In Denver I found Freda Ben Hooper and mar- ried to a millionaire. She took me out to her home, and, Gee! was it beautiful! Evelyn Anderson and Barbara Ray have a big shop in that city, too. They are both interior decorators, you know, and at this time they are working on the home of the district attorney.. Vernon Cossovw On the way to Salt Lake City, I met Ralph Campbell, who is traveling for the Herff-Jones Co. Also I saw California's most popular model, Dor- othy Cawthon. She was on her way to New York City. At the Salt Lake Memorial Hospital I talked with Dr. Walker Green and several of the nurses, Lois Cawthon, Luette Lindsay and Eva Adkinson. On the plane to San Francisco, I found Roy Cawthon the pilot. I saw Mary C. McLendon taking shorthand from some important looking man, and someone said that he was Grant Ray, President oi General Motors. A very distinguished gentleman was sitting across the aisle from me, and after hav- ing asked about him, I was told that he was Harley McSwain, a government auditor. While reading The San Francisco Journal I was sorry to see that Analee Walden, who writes jokes for Fred Allen, had been confined to her bed for a complete rest. However, her secretary, Caroline Wagner, will carry on the work. At this point I boarded an ocean liner for Nev: York City via the Panama Canal. In early morning of the second day of the voyage, a coast guard shil drew up to the liner and Capt. Bill Shuler cami aboard. He warned our pilot, Hughie Infinger, tc be careful of the reefs that were so dangerous tc ships. Hazel Walden was the ships public secre tary, and Wynelle Stanley the nurse. Through the Panama Canal, and some experi ence! Hal Richardson, the well known chemical en gineer, and Bob Bloomquist, the supervising agen of the canal, were busy discussing improvement soon to be made. On to New York City and after having had mg passport accepted by Inspector Lloyd Casey, I wen to my hotel. While reading the paper, I noticed tha the Society Editor of the New York Sun Phylli Douglass, and her secretary, Marguerite Sellar: were to fly to Chicago for the world premier c 'l he House on the Hlll.,, It is rumored that Eleano Flournoy, the designer of Parisian styles, is soon t open her own shop on Fifth Avenue. One afternoon I went on a sightseeing trip t Colun.bia University, and I found lvlarjorie ivlol iison teaching music there. Vera Mae Adams we the recreational director, and she was tertainlg busy. From New York to Trenton, New Jersey, an there Animae Andrews and Bertie Adkison wel strolling down the street. These married women d stay together. In the Lincoln Memorial High Schoe I-lurtis Adkison was teaching agriculture, Lillie Pea. Chalker home economics, and Phairby Stafford wz coaching the basketball team, and a winning onl too. In the grammar school was Edith Marlowe. At Baltimore, we find an important naval offic with Walter Brown, A. D. Cosson and Charles Co: neilson in charge of all cadets. There also, wel lVlary Evelyn Edge, A.ma Lassiter and Agni Courtney, all important navy nurses. At my destination, Washington, D. C., I four several more from the class of 1940. Eugenia Fai cloth is President Roosevelt's private secretary, E telle Wooten is in the pharmaceutical laboratorie and Martha Sikes helps J. Edgar Hoover in his Fet eral Bureau of Investigation.
