Senior Class Prophecy Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. America. This is your New York correspondent, Walter Winchell, speaking Let’s go to press. FLASH! The great genius, Professor Albert Einstein, has just completed what is definitely the invention of the ages. It is ... a time machine. Yes, I said a time ma¬ chine. This machine makes it possible for humans to see what will happen, and what has happened, any place in the world at any time. And now, I am going to devote the rest of my program to telling you a human interest story connected with Einstein’s invention. Yesterday Einstein received a visit from a man who lives in Waynesboro, Virginia. This man, who is “ready fo r Freddie,” explained that the one thing he would like was to see what the Class of ’49 at Waynes¬ boro High School would be doing in ten years. The pro¬ fessor was glad to comply with his wish, and as he pushed various buttons, Waynesboro in 1959 flashed on a screen. Sitting at a toy piano in Hamilton and Cook Hardware Store was Jimmy Cook. When he is not busy playing, he manages the store. Paul Shue, now a civil engineer, has just completed a new Florence Avenue bridge, Chuck Hutton having finally worn it out. “Hollywood” Quick just turned down his third offer for a screen test. It seems he just won’t leave his admirers. Sylvia Herron Arey can be seen pecking away at a typewriter in Johnny’s office. She also saves after hours for him. There is also another typist, Pat Hollar. However, as always, she can’t make up her mind as to her permanent boss. Alyce Sandridge, Waynesboro’s new public librarian, has just finished the last page of the latest book written by Dick Lovegrove, the famous journalist. John Taylor, Hunter Temple and J. D. Tyree can always be found at Drakes, day or night. Paul Martin is now carrying mail and he lets neither rain, sleet, nor snow stop him. At the lookout tower at George Washington National Forest, Bennett Campbell can be seen peering through the trees in search of little blazes. Gene Heatwole never has to worry about curly hair anymore; Pat Lily, a beautician, gives him a fingerwave every night. Sitting at the principal’s desk here at W. H. S. is Peggy Glenn. The saying is not, “Like father, like son,” but, “Like father, like daughter.” “Petite” Shirley Grant is still receiving those visits from the traveling salesman. She must like his products because she gets all her clothes from him. Bertie Mae Smith, Pauline Wood and Joyce Thompson have made that fateful trip down the aisle. We hope they live happily ever after. Albert Swink has become the editor-in-chief of the News-Virginian and is assisted by Harold Frasher. Harold is mighty glad that one of the reporters is that cute girl he has been squiring around. Christine Sprouse and Audrey Taylor are keeping step to all of the latest marches. Ben Dorrier is managing Hicks’s Service Station. Could it be the ice cream he likes? A little bird told Margaret Plumb that he loved her, the bird being Robin Steele. They now have that cottage not too far, all fenced in like a movie star. Johnny Troxell, who always drove a motor scooter, now does daring stunts in a motorcycle act. Douglas Gumm, Grace Hanger and Irene Hodge have joined the ranks of office career girls. They’re whizzes at shorthand and typing. Hunter Swink, Mr. Atlas II, is running a correspondence course for all puny Americans. Cannon Steele is his star pupil. Dot Critzer is drilling the basketball team at W. H. S., trying to teach them to make those wonderful, long shots. Assisting Dot is Barbara Heatwole who also heads a posture class. Betty Alae Allen has spent all her time since graduation thinking up new hair styles. She has now written a book entitled, A Thousand Ways with the Hair. Jean Ann Copper Coleman is painting portraits of no one but Ronald Coleman. Buddy just wasn’t the model type. Buddy Fitzgerald finally traded in his old Model A. He has a Model T now. Since Miss Treakle married and resigned, Eleanor Sue Hutton has filled her position as Religious Education Director. Mary Ann Myrtle spent so much time at Fishburnes that Mr. Fishburne installed a special booth for her and her friends. Arnett Tomey, of the Tomey Drug Chain, is noted for the big scoops of ice cream he gives to all the good-looking girls. Yvonne Garber and Dudley have become Mr. and Mrs. and are still playing their theme song, “My Happiness.” Sue Lawless and Connie Kurtz have just moved to Swannonoa and are throwing a gala house-warming party soon. Mr. Wilson let Meredith Wright drive one of the trucks the other day. Keep your eyes on the road, Meredith. Martha Pleasants, Louise Powers and Carlie Potter are kept busy showing off their 24K wedding rings. • {23

A dance room has been added to Beard’s Pool Room, with Sonny Beard and Rosalie entertaining. Martha Butler finally convinced the head of F. M. S. that a female teacher will do the boys some good. Billy Plumber is now a F. B. I. man; Finest Brushes, Incorporated, that is. Margaret Armentrout Matthews is still reading her ’49 Skyline and wondering how she could be so clever. Louise Hoy is the first woman manager of Roses. Marie Wagner did so well in Home Ec. that she is teaching the subject at W. H. S. now. To continue my story, the professor was then asked if he could find out what those who moved from Waynes¬ boro would be doing. They were scattered across the country, but after adjusting the controls, Einstein saw this: Stella Nicely and Rebecca Fravel, who were always so quiet in school, are directing tours in Williamsburg, dressed in 18th century costumes. Dr. Joseph Paul Glick, Jr., now practicing in North Carolina, is hoping that a certain Little girl will become one of his patients. Also in North Ca rolina is Patricia Pendergraft. She directs the “ Amberlights,” who appear weekly over WBT, Charlotte. Frances Ellen Coley Fisher has settled on a Connecticut farm, raising little chicos. The “Which twin has the Toni?” ad now features Audrey Hamilton and Rudolph Reed, separately, of course. And on the high seas, “Peaches” Wright is captain of a large yacht, with Seaman Brown under his command. Jay Mize and Lee Norman are bravely defending our land, since they joined the Army and Navy respectively. Eugene Daugherty is also wearing navy blue. He patrols Hawaii in a fighter so there won’t be a second Pearl Harbor. Eva Owens, after completing her nurses’ training at Johns Hopkins, decided to stay in Baltimore because of the good-looking internes. Professor Jerry Cummings, of the University of Virginia, has just finished his first textbook, How to Drink and Stay Sober. Dr. DeMasters, at the De jarnette Sanatorium, is healing patients by the score. Just looking at him makes them feel healthy. F. B. I. man, Justice East, helped maintain justice by forcing Bill “Lover” Smith into exile with his twenty wives. “Lover” is now in Arabia operating his little harem smoothly. Brian Ross and Bobby Critzer, who could never find their voices in high school, are making lecture tours throughout the country. Mildred Maney, the successful designer, operates a studio in sunny New Orleans. Steve, who lured her there, adores her . . . creations? Mary Ann Johnson can be found on a plantation in the deep South, lazily sipping a mint julep, resting in the shade, and saying, “Honey, does yo’ all really love me?” to her lover. Journalist Dick Lovegrove is throwing a wild(?) party for some of his friends. Present among the guests are Doug Smith, Richard Lotts, Van Irvine and Nita Ellison. Doug, whose band is playing at the Waldorf, is trying to revive those old favorites, “Smoke, Smoke, Smoke,” and “Wabash Cannon Ball.” Richard and Van are playing professional basketball. We hear they’re on the ball both on the courts and off. Nita has put her bubbling enthusiasm to good use. She is singing the commercials for the Double-Bubble Bubble Bath Company. President Truman used his influence to have Tom Guthrie, his very loyal follower, appointed as engineer commissioner for Washington, D. C. J. S. McMillan is still trying to make the frosh football team at Clemson. Bill Shorter finally entered S. M. U. He has high hopes for wearing jersey “35.” Minnie Gray Kibler received an offer from a South American senor to learn the rhumba and samba so she has flown to Venezuela. Jane Beard and Mary Ann Keenan are picking out only the best tobacco for Lucky Strike. “Tru-toe” Terry is the All-American, extra-point kicker this year. His secret is putting all his weight behind the kicks. That W. H. S. beauty, Lois Lawhorn, is resting on the laurels of her title,“Miss America.” She won that in 1952, and we hear that she may win the “Mrs. America” contest this year. Elizabeth Wyant and Juanita Carr have joined Fred Waring’s Glee Club. When the last scene had faded from sight, the Waynes- borian thanked Einstein profusely and went away. And now with lotions of love, I remain your New York cor¬ respondent, Walter Winchell, who wishes all these young people, about whom I spoke tonight, full, happy, and prosperous futures. ■4 24
