Prophecy In the winter of 1958, getting into my easy chair, I decided to relax by turning on the radio. The music was soft and sweet and | must have gone to sleep, and in my dreams I heard the announcer say something about the Class of ‘50 of Woodleaf High School. Imagine my surprise when I heard him announce Aaron Godbey had just returned trom his trip around the world in thirty minutes in his jet propelled plane, designed and constructed by Aaron, himself. As my vision moved to La Guardia Field, New York City, I saw Jane Morgan, now an airline stewardess for ihe Pan-American Airways, boarding a plane for Puerto Rico. The next scene changed, and | was at a John Powers Fashion Show in the heart of New York, and whom should I find modeling wedding gowns; none other than my old classmate, Helen Wetmore. Lo, as I turned away from this scene, | beheld a very familiar young man stand- ing on a baseball diamond, and I recognized Joe Robbins playing ball for the New York Yankees. Another scene appeared and lo, I was in an art gallery—There before my eyes was a huge picture, and below it was printed, By Marcline Benson, known the world over for her artistic ability. Joyce Grant reports for the Chicago Tribune, a writer of whom we can boast. She got her training working on the “Leaf.” In the Commercial World I saw Lydia Ann Bailey and Mildred Gentle, both famous typists and secretaries. I looked again and what could I see on one of the office doors in Raleigh but, Bill Steele, Lawyer,’ and who was that cute secretary taking dictation? Why it's my old classmate, Betty Ann Overman. The scene changed and I saw Willie Perrel] settled down on a large farm, raising children and potatoes. My vision was soon carried to dear old Woodleaf High School, and there I saw Johnsie Pinkston teaching the first grade their ABC’s. Then in another class I saw Richard Current, a well noted French teacher, and then in the principal's office I saw that Max Grant had won this honorable position. Reba Moore, who has just completed her nurse training at Johns Hopkins Hos- pital, is now a nurse at a Naval Hospital in San Francisco. Stil in San Francisco, my vision was carried to a little orange grove, and there I saw Katrina Livengood keeping house for her adorable little family. My vision changes and I find that Mary Ann Wetmore is doing great work os a missionary in China. There is another scene before my eyes and I see Norma Ruth Wetmore, who has just graduated from Eastern Carolina Teachers’ College, teaching the fourth grade in the city schools of Raleigh. The next scene appeared ana I saw Betty Pinkston happily married, living in Franklin and assistant manager at W. F. Woolworth’s. The last of my classmates were accounted for, as | heard someone calling ‘Rena, Rena,” arousing me from my sleep to go to my own work as a vocal soloist on the Bing Crosby Show. RENA MOORE, Prophetess
