Conopast of t lie Berlin Gazette. Then in rushed Rudolph Derlaga , all excited, to report the latest scoop. As the view changed to the outdoors, I saw an athletic field managed by Wilfred Guile, ably assisted by Richard Dyer. As I was watching this scene, a large Hook and Ladder Truck of the Fire Depart- ment went by with John DeLowery in charge. The fire once more blazed up, the scene shifted to Fifth Avenue in New York, and before my gaze there appeared an Interior Decorator’s Shop, conducted by Cecelia Dombkowski. Zina DiPietro was consult- ing her about the decorations for her new home. Now appeared a picture of entertainment, a large minstrel troupe. The interlocutor, Ethel Notaro, was introducing Mary Zoller, the star soloist. As I watched with amazement I saw a large Science Building, and within, Carmen Giannotta was teach- ing a class in advanced Science. Nearby was a Dancing School, conducted by Neil Laurence. Next came a fashionable Beauty Parlor, known as Helen’s Beauty Salon, which was managed by Helen Simeone. In the window were some fancy advertising signs, which were executed on the typewriter by Louise Nichols. As I became tired from watching so long, a familiar sight came into view, and I recognized the Empire State Building. Sitting in his office on the seventy-fifth floor, was William Moore, the treasurer of the corporation which owns the building. Irene Luetjen was busy typing his correspondence. As the last embers died out I realized I had seen all of the members of the Class of 38” pass before me. I dozed off wondering just how many of the Class members were in the positions in which I imagined them. Signed : MALCOLM GRIFFITH IRENE LUETJEN HECTOR PLANTE WALLACE BUNCE
