Travelogue fy It was on the fourteenth of June, 1938, a day filled with good cheer that the S. S. Alumnae welcomed as passengers twenty-four charming graduates from Annunciation High WH A School. As the liner steamed out from Port Commencement, rumor had it that those young ladies were setting sail in quest of 4 sg' X ,, 5hFame, Fortune, and Happiness. Ten years have passed. Many from the Class of 1938 have realized their heart's desires. Among these we find on the high 744 ' seas our Dorothy Curley, the breezy, dashing, happy wife of the captain of the White Star's new liner, S. S. Prophecy. Dor- othy's friend, Ruth Crehan is publicity agent for the Steamship Company and enjoys many round-the-world cruises. Wishing to keep informed concerning the dear old U. S. A., Ruth sug- gested that Dorothy and she listen in . As they were trying to get New York, Paris interfered long enough for them to hear J QQ them to hear the announcer say: The ladies of Paris are readily adopting the latest style in hair dressing, a bow with a front curl, as introduced by Mlle Virginia McCarthy and Mlle Catherine Brosnan. Paris was soon cut off and America tuned in. just in time! This is sta- tion U. S. A. We wish to announce that we have secured the World News Crier, Miss Mary Louise Dany, for this station. Her voice could be heard ringing out clear and strong. She announced that Miss Jane Martin, a most learned scholar, had been installed in the Immigration Department. She can interpret all languages and so far has been a most valuable help. The next station picked was KDKA announcing the returns from the Penn- sylvania Senatorial elections. Miss Mildred Balker has been elected first Con- gress woman from that state. This is probably due to the fact that Anna Mae Glitsch, a renowned suffragette, was her campaign manager. The next baffling announcement came from station WWSW. A national celebrity know as Kathleen Pry Cleary, reporter for the Charles Street Newsf' can solve any mystery. ' After a night in dreaming of all the startling information, the morning dawned bright and clear with the good ship Prophecy lying in the harbor at New Orleans. Several of the party left the ship for a day of sight seeing. just as they stepped off the gang-plank, they met our slow-moving Margaret Malone, who never believes in hurrying. She has been for years employed in the restful position of a time-keeper for the Snail and Tortoise Tax Company. The pace of New Orleans just suits Miss Malone. Margaret, glad to see her old friends, acted as a guide and pointed out places of interest. Displayed on a huge sign in the public square of New Orleans they read Mary Jane Taylor, an American Star in 'Storm Child'.,' Miss Taylor is the all- singing, all-dramatizing wonder of the age. Our Ann of Green Gables was a star before she left Annunciarion High. fl ? - W lr' , is N l E201

She insisted that before leaving New Orleans a visit should be made to YE BEAUTIFIER SHOPPED where Betty Voltz, a wealthy cosmeti- cian, is the proprietor. Betty claims that people who enter looking like eighty deparlt looking like eighteen. MX Arriving on board the Prophecy', in time for dinner, Miss Slatt entertained the passengers by locating for them the other loved classmates of '38. How glad all were to learn that our happy, cheery Catherine Smith is now the dignified wife of our ambassador to Italy! She has the nicest home and serves the best meals in Naples. Catherine will see to it that our liner stops at that port. Dot ' was curious to know where our warbling ladybird had flown. After three guesses, Dorothy learned that Marie Brosnan had stepped into the shoes of the leading prima donna in the Cosmopolitan Opera House. Her selections are composed and published by Margaret McGinley who now receives royalties by the car-loads. Since there still remained a few more classmates to be located Geraldine chatted on.
