PROPHECY —

Now it is the year 1975 and the scene opens as the class of '65 has its first class reunion, in

the home of Mr. and Mrs. Willie Washington. First to appear, as always, is Patricia Chew and

Evelyn Ford, who have charmed male students as heads of the history department at Yale Uni­

versity.

It is now five o'clock and the crowd is pouring in. Take a look at the cars if you please-

from Cadillacs to some of which we don't ever know the names.

The crowd has gathered around Gerald Fauntleroy as usual. Let’s see what we can get from

the conversations. Allen Rollins is an all pro-center for the Boston Celtics. Gladys Morris, as

pretty as ever, along with Rosie Montaque and Lois Wood are stenographers. Emmett Walker is

head of the English Department at Columbia University. Marvin Fauntleroy is coach of the un­

beaten Trojon Five from V.S.C. General Motors has just hired a new staff of mechanics for its

Snell plant. They are head-mechanic, Willie Washington and his assistants Robert Broadus,

Alfonzo Brooks, and Lonnie Coleman.

Appearing next-throwing her beautiful voice over the audience-is Dorothy Clark, the lead

singer of the Supremes. Here comes Betty Ross in her fur wrap. She’s a professional stenograph­

er at Maryland State College and a part-time singer for the Blossoms.

Falling in next are the two greatest things that have ever happened to the Cleveland Browns.

All pro-line backers are Gerald Fauntleroy and Louis Hames, former Wildcats. Another great

figure for the sports world is Norman Cook, the greatest center-fielder since Willie Mays. Making

the scene late, as usual, are three I.B.M. machine operators, Jackie Samuel, Jacqueline Garlic,

and James Smith. Here, too, are two members of the electronics board from Cape Kennedy,

Reggie Lucas, and David Cole.

What do we have here? Another teacher, Miss Barbara Taylor, head of tne mstory Depart­

ment at V.S.C. Dedicated to keeping the girls beautiful we have these fine instructors from the

Apex Beauty School, Phyllis Brooks, Lucille Tyler, Ethel Tyler, and Rosemary French. Don't

worry boys, we have a barber, too, in the hands of Lonnie Coleman. By the way girls, Annie

Samuels is setting up a private beauty salon. Look who’s here next-the brothers, General Frank

and Clyde Rollins, both with twenty years of service in the armed forces. Businessmen here we

are again with two lovely stenographers, Miss Linda Broadus and Miss Joan Lewis. Working as

a special agricultural consultant to the government is Ernest Smith. We also find two truly great

nurses, Dianne Parker and Dorothy Coleman.

Guess What? Lena Horne's special seamtresses are Pearl Carter and Edith Pendleton.

Look who’s here with a sign on his back. It’s Freddie Coleman. The sign reads "If you

should kick the bucket in the next ten years, send your body to Freddie's Funeral Home."
