EH mm HISTORY OF THE SEMINARY Copyright. 1954 Chapter LX |N this history of the Seminary, the postgraduate activities of each class have been dealt with only briefly. The Class of 1944. however, seems to merit a complete chapter, both because of the number of its mem- bers and because of their illustrious accomplishments. The material for the following resume has been supplied by Constance Brewer, who has just returned from an extended trip by helicopter from coast to coast. Alighting upon the RCA Building in New York City, she hastened to keep an appointment with Louise Goldberg and Marian Pierce, who are collaborating on a radio program, doubling for Kate Smith and Ma Perkins. At the Waldorf she found Marilyn Muckey. substituting for Elsa Maxwell, in animated conversation with Elgene Poison, our own Ilka Chase. Leaving New York. Constance flew to Washington, to meet Virginia Webb, successor to Eleanor Roosevelt, and Mary Ruth Springer, acclaimed another Clare Booth Luce. Together they went to a reception, where they talked with Barbara Quinn. often mistaken for Brenda Frazier, and Margaret Schafer. now replacing Vera Vague on Bob Hope s show. With them were Irene Purkey. now at your neighborhood theater in That Night in Rio. and Jo Ann Curry, rapidly becoming the nation s movie idol. After the party Constance returned to her hotel and settled down to read Dear Friends and Lonely Hearts. the column written by Patricia Feddersen. Turning on the radio she heard Ann Campbell, mistress of ceremonies on the program Blind Date, whose guests were Ann Stickney. fiery successor to Gracie Fields, and Marilyn Haskins. who has endeared herself to the nation as Minnie Mouse. Jean Smith, or Lady Esther, advocated her beauty preparations during the commercial. Flying across the country to Hollywood. Constance discovered Imogen Billings in the title role of The Phantom of the Opera, drawing warm applause from Margaret Snyder, herself a second Flagstad. Theater bills revealed that Wil- helmina Jenkins is playing Dorothy Lamour s role in The Hurricane with Vir- ginia Oakley, who is replacing Zorina. Also in the movies is Cynthia Gonyea. starring in The St. Louis Woman and the Maid of Ozark, autobiography of Judy Canova. Margaret Jean Langabeer, sensational successor to Cass Daley, and Betty Lou Brittenham. playing the lead in Rlondie, are also in Hollywood. On her way back to her hotel. Constance visited Darcia Dayton, just returned from her post as chemistry professor at Peiping Universit y to lecture in America on Why Molecules Do Not Grow Beards. Elaine Rydell. the Billie Burke of our generation, and Beverly Eklund. as scintillating as ever, have just announced their intentions to forsake Hollywood for London. So seemed to end the saga of the Class of 1944. until a count of names revealed only twenty-six. Reluctantly Constance confessed that the missing member. Antoinette Hannah, always an ardent Communist, has just been apprehended by the F. B. L The Seminary is proud of the Class of 1944. on the whole, and looks forward to a continuation of its successes.
