PROPHECY It is the year 1955 and I am taking a tour in Europe. Meeting with a mysterious couple from the Orient,I am pleased to be invited into their tent. They are talking of their exper- iences in fortune telling and I notice the crystal ball which they use. I walk unnoticed over to the ball and gaze deeply into it. I am thinking of the Senior Class of ‘51 of Wood- leaf High School and images of my old classmates begin floating through the ball. I now see a great crowd of people listening to the classical songs of America. The singer is Betty Jane Pope, who is with the ‘‘Arthur Godfrey Show’’ touring Cuba. Now an image of the frame-work of a great building--and the construction is being carried on under the supervision of Charles Kluttz. Looming before me is a giant rocket ship ready to leave for Mars with Gilbert Archie at the controls. The scene is changing again, this time to a remote spot in Africa where I see Betty Ratledge going about her work as a missionary. I now see Peggy McDaniel sitting with a crowd of distinguished men discussing scme secret mission that she is about to perform for the F,B.I1., that will send her into the crowded tenement section of the big city of Needmore. The scene again changes and I see Clyde Lippard’s Fashion Show in the heart of San- Francisco, Whom dol see modeling bathing suits? None other than Dolores Lyerly. Before me is a girl in a white uniform hurring down a long hall. She has a hypodermic needle and gobs of pills. It is Ann Adams who is working in the Mercy Hospital in Charlotte. I see a most beautiful farm, coming clearer is the farmer. Why it’s Bobby Godbey the Star Farmer of 1960. Now appearing is a neat little home, and to my surprise I see Barbara Swaim going busily about cleaning it. She is the proud mother of five children. The scene changes again and I see Lois Swicegood teaching the first grade at the Cool- emee School, She has the splendid help of her husband, Roscoe Jones. Then I see a speedy jet zooming by and you can imagine my surprise when I see the pilot is Lois Goodman flying her private jet plane. As the next scene becomes clear, I see fingers flying over the key board of a type- writer. I am not surprised that those hands belong to Frances Foster, a private secretary for Gerald Steele, the manager of the First National Bank, Next I see great problems being fed into a calculator by the expert hands of Priscilla McDaniel. Another scene before my eyes--the patent office--and H. T. Hall applying for a patent on a new type of garbage disposer which he has invented. As the scene changes again, I see a group of Wac’s taking their training under Captain Nancy Lyerly. Before me is a face of a man lost in thought. It’s Douglas Burgess--trying out a new idea for the most renowned Interior Decorators in New York. Here is Ann Fisher explaining to her son how his dad used to jump from the high flying airplanes, Just as my image starts to clear in the ball, I suddenly hear a bell ringing and a great movement of people about me. As my head quits twirling, I realize that I have been asleep in English and the bell has just rung for the lunch period. Dan Adams, Prophet
