All Saints CCo.imim1eircia1ll School Class Prophecy, June, 1930 QXSCW5 A' O-HUM. Another day. Pray, wash, dress, breakfast, school. Same old grind. School? Today's Saturday! With a bound you are at the window and you see s - u - n - s - h - i - n - e. You must get out-you are out -out of the house and out of the city. You are running along the shore through the apple orchard, out on the beach whose silver fingers reach out to touch the sparkling waters of the Sound that reflects the blue of the sky in a deeper shade. You throw yourself down and gaze at the fleecy clouds gamboling like sheep across the heavenly field of blue and forming prophetic pictures. The breeze brings the hum and bustle of the city to your ears and you see the entensive plant of the Zipper Ice Skate Company. Dorothy Gressert, discoverer of the great Zipper lce Skate, is collecting a check from the treasurer, Doris Brush, while the president, Dorothy Waldeck, looks on. ln the next room a meeting of the Board of Directors is taking place and Mabel Bassler and Mary Daley are efficiently proving to the Chairman, Margaret Mohr, what expert efficiency experts they are. Anna Cwreiner hovers in the background, pencil in hand, waiting for words of wisdom to spread among the employees through The Zipper. The head bookkeeper, Matilde Stravitsch, is discussing an account with the credit manager, Anna Eiter. Marion Stubing is bidding farewell to the sales manager, Dorothy Horsting. Marion is the Company's representative in Spain-though why they need ice skates in Spain, the clouds do not tell you. You next hear the pounding and mild uproar of the St. Louis Star going to Press. Antonine Matzkewitz, secretary to the City Editor, is rushing to the desk of Gertrude Wapenhaus, who runs the Woman's Page, frantically waving a copy of Rose Giammalvo's poetic contribution featured in the Star ln the same city you see Catherine Breitsch acting as court stenographer while Margaret Lukacsy pleads the case of her client at the bar. You are brought back to New York, and the sea drums words, words, words in your ears. Who is that tall, stately nun walking along a lane at Lake Ronkonkoma-with a shorter nun, a novice? None other than Mother Whooley and Madame Fleming, now Religious of the Cenacle? Now back to the city! To think that Margaret Farren is a lecturer of Current Events at all leading clubs! Helen Lux is doing her best to make a client, Anna Auer, Chrysler-conscious. Anna is private secretary to the President of one of the most successful business corporations in New York. A louder roar drowns out the voices and you are at the Long Island field of the Eastern Airway Express Company. Katherine Jackman is in the pilot seat of the tri-motor passenger plane bound for Philadelphia and St. Louis. Kathleen and Catherine Cunningham, fresh from the glories of an' extended appearance at the Palace, Page 42
