Prophecy
By Bobby Arnold
My friends, come with me
the hilltop of imagination and let
us look down the future to the
year of I960.
In connection with my art I
hrf-e visited many cities and coun
tries, since this is the home com
ing of our class of 1940, I will
give you a report on those mem
bers of our class who are attend
ing this great gathering.
You remember our old friend,
Margie McLeroy, who was presi
dent of our class, she is now a
nurse in the Good Samaritan hos
pital in New York. She is the wife
of a famous doctor who owns the
hospital.
Oh, yes! And I see Larry Lord,
vice president of our class. He is
a famous baseball player with the
New York Giants. He is still sin
gle. I always expected that.
Over there I see the secretary of
our class, Dolphner Freeman. She
is the owner, of a famous beauty
saloon. I think that is her hus
band, Author Mitchell, talking to
her. I see she finally got her man.
I’m sure you couldn’t forget the
little blond headed girl who sat
beside the teacher's desk
made smart remarks. She was
treasurer of our class. Her name
was Allene Morton. She is an air
hostess, working with the Consol
idated Airlines.
And there are two others of our
class who are also air
One is Gwendolyn Oliver. You
remember she was the first honor
student of our class. She works
with the American Airlines in
North Dakota.
The other is Leira Hamby who
is also with the Consolidated Air
lines, in Texas.
I see away over to the left an
other of our classmates. It is Blu
ford Johnson. I heard some one
say that she is a school teacher in
Atlanta. She teaches the seventh
grade.
And there is Doris Williams,
talking to Bluford. She is super
intendent of the Mercy hospital,
in Los Angeles, California. Over
to the right I see Odell Anthony.
I understand he is a very famous
pitcher with the big league play
ers.
Talking with him, as usual, is
Charles Stinchcomb. Of course,
they’d be together. They always
were in school, but we are proud
of Charles, because he has dis
tinguished himself as an outstand
ing first baseman.
We always wished we would
have a famous singer from out
class and I just found out that
Sara Neely is a very famous blues
singer for the WSB radio studios.
Sara has only been married a few
years to Major Howard Payne,
who is doing secret service work
with the government
We have another baseball play
er from our class. It is Richard
Lord. Dick, I understand, said
he’d rather play than work, so he
is playing ball.
I see some one in a uniform. It
is none other than Lois Smith.
She is superintendent at Emory
Hospital. She looks prettier than
ever. I wonder if she still thrills
others with her lovely voice.
I see Dora Speer, a famous
botany teacher, with her class of
boys and girls, and just as a side
THE COVINGTON NEWS
line she is a telephone operator at
night.
There is also another
operator. Her name is Annie Ruth
al al. Her Her hair hau is is as as red red as as ever ever.
We have lots of great
players , from „ class. , . ,.
our
one is Louis Lingold. He
w.th the Sam Louts
and has recently stepped into
limelight with his home runs.
1 see another one of our school
mates in a nurse's uniform. Her
with a big hospital m Kansas. And
name is Eula Mae Hen.-on. She is
would you believe it, the arithme
tic Bro. Jack taught us is
one of our classmates, some good.
Florence Henson is a clerk
Sears Roebuck and Co.
I have been noticing in the
news lately of the big game caught
by our old class mate, Luke Rey
nolds, and you can tell from that
coat of tan, he has just returned
from hunting in Africa.
Of course, our reunion would
not be complete without our
teacher, “Bro. Jack.” I hear he
has, at last, gotten married and is
pastor of Trinity Methodist
Church in Miami, Florida.
So, to you, Bro. Jack, and
friends, we the class of 1940,
trying, honestly and honorably to
fm OU r places in the life of our
nation in this, the year of 1960.
Here’s to another happy home
coming.
