LUDLOW HIGH SCHOOL page twenty-nine CLASS PROPHECY This is your news reporter, Aurelio Bramucci, brought to you through the courtesy of the Frank Ackerman Business Corporation. Today you will hear about the ma:n events at the launching of the Navy ship L.H.S. 1942. In our midst at the Herbert Wilson Navy Yard, we see many celebrated travele rs including Ida Hiersche, Clara Makow’c:, Ethel Los, Helen Golazewski, and, laughingly yours, Bruno F°cosi, famous for his humor- ous travel stories. Several professional fashion models of Madame Anna Ostrowski's Salon are here, especially Helen Janes and Amelia Costa. The officials haven’t arrived yet, so Ill tell you more about the crowd. Marion O’Neil, world renowned lecturer, has come with Walter Peacey and Nelson Robbins, joint owners of the J:nx Trucking Company. Why look who’s here—Aurora Silva, noted economist and historian. Just a minute ladies and gentle- men: the official automobiles of John Carnevale design have just driven up. At first glance we see with their wives George Duquette, Arthur Hiersche, and Adrien Gaudreau, all Naval officials, stepping from cars, chauffeured by Roger Ackerman and—due to the war emer- gency several women chauffeurs, Diolinda Pereira, Wanda Kogut, and Antoinette Krawiec. The reception committee includes Priscilla Lafayette, Benta Costa, and Catherine Kapinos, charmirg hostesses. William Konderwicz introduces the guest speaker, Mr. George Sanford, retired Navy veterinarian. He praises the fine and speedy work in putting out ships, espe- cially that of the Norman Waldron Engineering Agency in joint work with the Walter Sas Steel Boiler Works. He also gives praise to Rita Sorcinelli and Jenny Ziencina, research chemists who have perfected a new alloy for ship building. Mr. Sanford gives the word to June Wysock, New York deb, to break the champagne bottle. Amid cheers led by Virginia Alves and Wilhelmina Costa, the ship Ludlow High School, 1942 is launched. Overhead the new Kawchak fighter planes roll and loop, and they are piloted by many famous women pilots, Mary Smolak, Jean Ryba, and Anita Silveri, all under the leadership of Marion McRob- bie, agerit of the Kawchak School. To top off the launching, Ortensia Gasparrini, rising Metropolitan Opera discovery, sings the new patriotic song Victory, written by Dorothy McLean and Eileen Chisholm and published by the Ruth Carty Publishing House. Star reporters, Helen Birrell, Anna Bednarezyk, and Joe Baldrate, rush in news of the launch- ing to Editor Margaret Duquette. I shall now turn you over to station L. H. S. for the performance at Camp Fay Bacon. This is William O’Connor now taking over at the gala performance which wll be given in a few minutes by stars of stage, screen and radio. Thousands of soldiers are. waiting anxiously. The “Hot Vagabonds” swing band, led by William Ellison, has just started. The crowd is cheering. Frances Cristina is thumping away at the piano, Emilda Roberts is at the trombone, Morris Young at the saxophone, and Harry Goewey is playing a hot trumpet. Master of ceremonies, Ray Haluch, has just come on the stage. At a signal from him, the famous Roberta Fuller Equestrian Troupe comes out and presents some of the finest horsemanship in the country. Next on the program are the army’s favorite singing stars, the Ludlowites, Rita Gauthier, Evelyn Forkey, and Eleanor Gauthier, with a dancing cho- rus of beautiful girls including Luvina Benoit, Irene Jurkiewicz, Anna Kusek, Anna Zajac- kowsk?, and Elsie Lapointe. As they leave the stage, that famous comedy team, energetic Mary Kryzyk and Wesley Rhodes, emerge. Amid cheers from the soldiers that glamorous screen siren, Eva Ventura, sings a haunting love song. It is now intermission and candy and cigarette girls are busy. Among them we see Jeannette Willette, Alice Moraes, and Au- rora Silva. Speaking to Helen Waz, night club entertainer, are Doctors Carmen Moutin- ho and Lucien Therrien, who have been promoted as heads of the U. S. Medical Corps. Gloria Smith, noted writer of children’s books, is here today with her secretary and pub- lisher, Marion Prybytt and Elizabeth Prystupa. The show has started again and Linnea Farquhar, society woman and writer, presents the colorful dance team “Gliding Shadows” Re- no Mariani and Florence Chrusciel. Then Irene L. Santos, charming radio star, enacts with Steve Liecivitz, a scene from the soap opera, Beauty and the Villian, sponsored every dey by the Aurelia Morelli Soapy Sudsy Company.
