Passing into the dining room, we saw John Gorman and his Connecticut Yankees. He had taken Rudy’s place as leader of that famous orchestra. That night at dinner we were delighted to see Theresa Barriere, who was the head waitress and who had working under her five girls of the Class of 1931. They were Ruth Allen, Katherine Benson, Alice Berg, Juliet Caron, Dulcie Harrington, and Theresa Armstrong.

a NAG NE Pe CLASS PROPHECY (Continued) | turned on the radio. ‘“‘This is station W. J. Z. We are now going to broadcast from the Metropolitan Opera House a few scenes from Richard Hayes’ latest opera, ‘(O, Give Me Something to Eat.’ The leading roles wll be sung by the famous singers, Eunice Huston and Winthrop Lear.’’ Imagine our excitement when we heard those well known names! After listening to the singing, we went down to the radio room to send telegrams of congratulations to Eunice and Winthrop. You never could guess whom we found to be the wireless operator! Well, it was Gale Sloan Tyler, another friend. He wes full of business and barely spoke to us. After two more days we landed in Paris, where Doc’ left us to go to his conference in Berlin. We rested for a day or so before we went to see the sights of Paris. Tuesday morning, Janet wanted to visit the dress shops, so we went to some that we had been told about before we left home. In the first one we saw Dorothy and Madeline Andrews as manikins. Ruth Garland was in charge of all the manikins, and her dress proved her work distinctly. Louis Dube was the stylist in the same shop, and as we were old friends he gave us the best of service. He told us that Rosamond Cook had a charming art studio on LaRue des Fleurs. We bustled into a cab and were surprised to find that our driver was none other than Martin Ashe, who took us to Rosamond 's studio free of charge. ‘Just for the sake of old times,’ hz said. Rosamond’s studio was ideal, and Pearl Charron and Agnes Soucy were studying under her supervision. We had a delightful tea with her and reminisced a great deal, of course. “Janet, did you know that Barbara McEvoy was studying French here? They say she knows as much if not more about the old language than the professor himself. There is a rumor thet her engagement to this professor is to be an- nounced in the fall. | shouldn’t wonder if it was true, said Rosamond. We learned also that Helen Dupee was a companion to a very wealthy woman:from the United States and that they were traveling around the world. We were thrilled at the thought of it. What an opportunity for Helen! We heard, too, that George Jones was giving dancing lessons to young American debutantes. We then went to see Barbara, who introduced us.to the professor. He took the three of us out to dinner and the theatre, after which we went to acabaret. The master of ceremonies at the cabaret attracted our attention. “Ladies and Gentlemen, this evening we are to be highly favored by a little American dancer who has been the shining light on Broadway for the past season, Miss Marion Gaffney. She brings her own accompanist, Miss Arlene Farland.’ Another member of the American entertainers was Miss Genevieve Bouvier, who sang a group of popular Broadway hits. Our attention was then drawn to the conductor of the orchestra, Robert Howe, wno had evidently forsaken his base viol for the baton, with which he was cleverly conducting the orchestra. Suddenly, Alice Julian and Mary Cav- anaugh appeared, leading the chorus. ; This evening ended our respite from work, and the next morning Janet started her graduate work in French, which was to last for four weeks, and | started my studying under M. Kicke Highye. This necessitated changing our hotel in order to be nearer our classes, and upon entering our new temporary abode we were pleasantly surprised to find Georgianna Gamblin at the desk. She gave us the finest rooms in the hotel. Ronald Rand carried our bags to our rooms. ‘He had tired of the monotony of life in America and had sought a change. When our four weeks of study were over, we eagerly sought new fields of adventure. Our gaze was turned toward the horizon of London. In the lobby of our hotel we were confronted by a sign which announced the arrival of the two American golf champions and a party of enthusiasts, the champions being none other than Ear! McEvoy and Leo Tessier. After registering at the desk, we were about to ascend in an elevator to our rooms, when some familiar voices called our names. We were greeted by Ed Seaver, that All-American Star, and Bill Dyer. With them was a stunning girl, who, we soon learned, was Bill’s wife. We later found that Bill’s high school dream of marrying an heiress (and then having her as an ‘inspiration’ for making his ‘‘million’’) had come true. Other members of the party included Natalie Pierce and Phil Rowley, America’s lead ing movie stars. Out at the club that afternoon the golf ‘‘pro,”’ upon our being presented, introduced us to his wife, who was none other than Audrey Marshall. While following the players, Bill, who had moved back to Leominster (after making his “‘million’’), said that he nad (23)
