THE SENIOR PROPHECY After I graduated from Wynne High School, my well made plans were rudely interrupted by the appearance of two men in white jackets from the State Hospital. High school had put too much strain on my cerebrum. After six years of treatment they finally released me on good behavior. When I had secured a hotel room, I decided to take a walk. While walking down Broadway, I saw Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Waldrep (Mrs. Waldrep is the former Faye Hall) coming out of a pawn shop. Dub had finally gotten her wedding ring out of hock. Faye informed me that L. J. Lover Boy Williams was holding the grand opening of his night club, The Hotsy Totsy Club tonight. They gave me his address, and after walking around in circles for two hours, I arrived just in time to see the star of the floor show, Rita Torchy” Walls, perform. Those darlings of syncopated rhythm: Leta Tapley, Frances Aston, Wilma Baker, Thelma Hopkins, Nellie Brown, Geneva Reynolds, and Peggy Mauppin, presenting their original dance, The H-Bomb Boogie. Buddy Always Leave ’Em Laughing Clements was master of ceremonies. Their costumes were designed by Mademoiselle Carol Lou Coffin of Paris. Mademoi- selle Coffin owns her own salon and has in her employ. Miss Bettye Cook, one of the world's most renowned fashion models. After taking leave of my old friends, I bought a copy of The New York Daily Times, edited by Shirley Sulcer, and started to board the bus. About that time I was nearly run over by Donna Hot Rod Doss in her Cadillac. I finally made it to the bus safely. As I opened my paper, I saw that Marshall Money Bags” Bledsoe was arrested for avoiding income taxes of about $2,000,000. The sports page stated that Wilma Carter and her famous all-girl basketball team—Jimmy Sue Ellis, Alice Forrester, Frances Regan, and Cordia Hadley, would play Donald Foltz’s all star boy team, Dennis Tyner, Ed Hamilton, Charles Ownes, and Kelley Walker, in Madison Square Garden. The wrestling schedule announced the bout between Eldon Smallfry” Waddell and Bill Big Boy” Sullivan. When I finished reading the funnies, I stopped at Bev’s Bar and Grill.” The proprietor was none other than my old classmate, Beverly Bledsoe. I exchanged small talk with the bartender, William Lane. Beverly introduced me to her husband, Roy Woods, famous football coach, and his star player, Blan Stout. His manager and water girl were none other than our old senior sponsors, Ex-Coach Lee Roy Littlefield and Mrs. Edith Hawk-eyes” Neblett. After dinner, I started back to my hotel. Along the way I ran into a hot gun battle between John Sadface” Grantham and his gang, Roy Trigger Happy” Davis, Odell Laughing Boy Henson, and that famous police woman, Laverne Bostick and her assistant, Kathleen Spain. Laverne’s deadly aim and unfaltering courage finally won out. The story was covered by ace reporter, Luther Brawner. Laverne’s bravery in the call of duty was awarded a medal of honor from the first woman President, Carol Wilson. She was also rewarded a thousand dollars by Barbara Rutledge and Beulah Stafford, presidents of the bank she defended from crime. As I continued my walk, I saw on the Marque of Carnagie Hall that those great sopranos, Gwendolyn Calhoun, and Pete” Statham, and Sandra Kellogg, virtuoso of the piano, would present their debuts into the music world. While I was standing there, a teriffic explosion rocked the entire city. The cause was scientists Jerry Eppes and Judy Billings’ experiments on the Hydrogen Bomb. Judy, after crushing the broken test tubes out of the way, told me about old friends, Betty Faye Weddington, Betty Neal, Dora Dunn, and Brown Robertson appearing on Broadway in South Pacific. My luck ran out as I hit a car headon. After a quick treatment by nurses, Ann Stultz, and Kathryn Stutts, at the hospital, I was ushered into court on the charges of running a red light and hitting a telephone pole. I tried to explain to them that I was color blind but Judge Wanda Baker had no pity on me. I forfeited $50 to the cause. The next day, being Sunday, I went to church. Jim Sugg, minister, and Laverne Dixon, organist, officiated at the service, Mrs. Frances South and her fifteen children covering two entire pews, represented a large part of the congregation; (Husband Leslie was away on a fishing trip).
