HomeMy WebLinkAbout0035 CLASS PROPHECY
On Skip-away day, Mr. Parker, wondering what his Seniors of '49
would be doing after ten years had elapsed, visited a fortune-teller and
this is what she told him:
I faintly discern a church in the distance. Ah! I hear the wedding march
and I see Mary Ellen Ellerbe and her "One and Only" walking down the
aisle. The minister about to perform the ceremony is William Tilley, the
Senior Class Chaplain.
I now see a large football field. Duke, coached by Jerry Bodenburg,
has just made a touchdown against Chapel Hill.
.The scene drifts down to Georgia where I see Lovie Bolden who has
devoted her life to managing an Old Folks' Home.
Now we go to Paris where we find a big banquet being given in honor
of Howard Cherry, a famous Chemist. He has just discovered, after ten
years of hard work, that water is a liquid.
We slowly come back to Crystal Springs where we see the Home Office
of the A. & P. Corporation covering ten blocks. After inquiring within
we entered an exclusive office and behind a cloud of cigar smoke we find
Bill Douglas, now President of this great concern.
Ah! Here's Atlantic City! We see Mary Louise Allen being crowned
Miss America of '59 and smiling from ear to ear. And there is John Bryant,
the famous radio announcer, broadcasting this spectacular event.
Look! A classroom! Can it really be? Yes, it is Pat Thomson dili-
gently struggling with her third graders and trying to teach them that
"consuetudinary" is just another word for customary.
Now we go out on the vast blue ocean. Aboard the battleship, "Sink-
Again", we see Malvin Hinsz mixing a prescription for the Admiral. (P.S.
The Admiral died!)
What's this I hear? Could it be? Yes, it's the patter of little feet!
When we look closer we see one we used to know as Betty Jean Thomas
chasing her seven little ones and trying to persuade them that it is bed-
time.
Flash! Hot off the press we read that Herbert McGinnis has just as-
tounded the world with the discovery and proof that there are six dimen-
sions. Some Mathematician!!!!
At the huge restaurant "The Hole in the Wall" we see many great per-
sonalities, among them are the President of the U. S., the King of Eng-
land, the Emperor of China, and who's this, of course, Alton Tyre--wash-
ing dishes in the Kitchen!!!!
And feeling very proud, Mr. Parker continued on his way.
