CLASS PROPHECY I, a wearied news correspondent, enter Grand Central Station to embark on my first vacation in six years. Equipped with a magazine and a copy of the latest best seller, Away With The Breeze,” autographed by its author, Marion Blood, I am fortified against boredom on my New England trip. I’ve sent my baggage to the Boston Limited whose engineer I learn is Tim Fisher. Knowing that my safe journey is assured, I sit down to wait the hour till train time. As I turn the first few pages of The New Yorker,” familiar names catch my eye and I find that Kenneth Munro, noted for his superb dishes, is chef at the Waldorf Astoria, with George Pilibosian as head waiter. Farther down the column I read that Edward Taylor’s internationally famous orchestra is playing at the Rainbow Room. He shares honors with Arthur Keylor, trumpeter, and John Alders, violin¬ ist. Frank Ravalli and lovely Doris Kirkham supply the vocalization in ultra-smart fashion. The many distractions of the Grand Central interrupt my reading. Directly in front of me is a man trying to keep a number of small boys together; Thomas Burleigh is too busy with his scout troop to stop for conversation. Remembering suddenly that I have no ticket, I go to the first ticket window and there stands Bob McNally, selling as many tickets for the railroad company as he sold for the class of ’37. Bob tells me that if I walk down the first tunnel I shall probably find some of our old friends. Turning to follow his suggestion, I notice a girl with a worried expression and two large suitcases labeled Shoe Stylist”; instantly I recognize her as Josephine Cavanagh. She stops at the desk marked Traveler’s Aid,” where Margaret Whelan is presiding in a pleasant, gracious manner and Betty Wilson gives prompt assistance that sends Josephine into a telephone booth so quickly that I can not catch her attention—and out from the next booth comes Amando Balboni, head linesman for the telephone company. At the switchboard nearby I see Frances Swan, successfully plugging the lines in and out. Her hair is beautifully waved and she tells me that Ruth Thistle’s beauty salon on Fifth Avenue is responsible for that. Just then a sweet voice falls on my ear, saying, Will you have a piece of gum?” I swing around to see in a big booth of the Wrigley Company little Anna Corazza. She has time to talk as usual and I learn that Catherine Maccini is the private secretary to Bill Allison, a prominent financier. Anna also tells me that Josephine Connors manages the office of the firm of Drury and Milanskas, Account¬ ants and Efficiency Experts. An attractive uniform draws my attention and there is Lena Grieco, airplane hostess, ready to take off for a coast-to-coast flight. A telegram is thrust into my hands and while I sign I discover under the Western Union cap, Kendall Kessener. Doris Loughrey is wiring me to attend an exhibition of her travel posters and Donald Smith’s imaginative illustrations at Rockefeller Center. Several bright posters in the station attract my attention. One shouts in glaring letters of the coming Indianapolis auto races and the expectation that Lightning Speed” Campana will win. Another announces a benefit exhibition of daring diving by Edna Fisher, soon to be held at the Boston Gardens. The names of these former classmates remind me that only this morning I wrote an article about a fellow graduate, the most famous woman diplomat of the day, Virginia May. An article by a fellow journalist, Dorothy Derby, is an excellent review of Betty Hanlon’s and Douglas Haward’s latest movie, Hula-Hula Dance.” She also highly praises the work of the two new comedians, Margaret DeLorie and Robert McEachern. To his witty queries in Scotch dialect all Margaret replies is Oh Boy!” The unusual lighting effects in the picture were created by Primo Egasti. Instead of staring stupidly at the posters and thinking about former classmates it would probably be a good idea for me to walk down the first tunnel where I may meet some of them. In¬ front of an exclusive little dress shop, owned by Katherine Smith and managed by Edith Mac¬ Kinnon, a crowd is collected. After a look in the window I think No wonder!” for an attrac-
