PROPHECY AND CALENDAR -.igii One cold day in January, l953, I boarded a plane for Washington in order to attend the inauguration of President RALPH WILSON. As the plane roared into the air, piloted by THOMAS ARTHUR and JACK CANTWELL, I saw mechanics STEWART, MCGINNIS and LEAKE rush off the field. Stewardess BOBBS handed me the latest edition of PETRUSH'S Modern Gazette. On the sports page was a picture of Coach SCHWENGER'S star athletes, namely, BURTYK, CEGLARSKI, CEVARR and NISHNICK. I read two very lovely poems written by MARY MCKOWN and OLIVE LEONARD and a column written by JANET McNElLLY, the famous beauty expert. In the society column there was a very elaborate account of the RAY MacLACH- LAN wedding. Just then the plane arrived at Washington, but as I took one last look at it I noted that CATHERINE JENKINS was maid-of-honor and WESLEY WALL the officiating minister. The first thing I saw when l entered the new inaugural building was IMOGENE CUTSHALL flirting with Vice-President ROBERT HEZLEP. Over in one corner I saw HAZEL GREENE, SARA JANE BARLEY, CATHERINE NOBLICK and DOLORES PAFF arguing as to which had the best secretarial position. The building seemed a trifle cold to me but I could not decide whether to blame ED CROCO for too much air conditioning or KEN Mac- PHERSON for too l'ttle fire in the furnace. After the inauguration President Wilson met us and announced that ANTHONY SLABE was Secretary of the Treasury and BILL APPEL Secretary of Agriculture. As I left the inaugural building I met DOROTHY HUTCHESON who was now an interior decorator, and, both of us having decided to stay over- night, we took a room in WOOD'S fashionable hotel. When we left the registrar, AMELIA DONATI, we were conducted to our rooms by bell-hop ED SMITH. We tuned in on the radio just as PETER MINKO announced the musical hour, PETER DEWAR yodeled a hill-billy song and FRANCES and ALMA KOBE sang a very lovely duet. After that there were some news items, the only one of importance being the award of a medal to MARJORIE JACKSON and CORA DENSON for saving a little boy from drowning. That evening we attended a stage show at the LeBON.CINEMA. There was a aroup of beautiful chorus girls amona whom we recoanized JEAN MCCURRY, DOROTHY STOLTENBERG, HELEN SOPP, KATHERINE FEST, MARY SUSKO, and WANDA GOHACKI. As we left the theater we noticed a crowd gathering on the street in front of MILDRED COLE'S tea-room, so we rushed to the spot. We found that SOPHIA KROLL, now a lady of wealth, had fallen on the icy walk and broken her leg. Her traveling companion, ROSE PAWLOWSKI, telephoned the hospital and DR. NORDSTROM soon arrived accompanied by NURSE GOURLEY. After this bit of excitement we all went into the tea-room and had our fortunes told by JULIA SNOVAK. After chatting a while to DOROTHY GILBERT and LOUISE MOORCROFT, who owned a dress-shop across the street, we made our departure. On our way to the hotel we met LUCILLE 'BRENKUS and LILLIAN NIEMAN just returning from a teacher's conven- tion. The next morning we arose rather late and went to ARMOR'S Restaurant where we were served bacon and eggs by HELEN LACHMAN. As we were leaving we met two famous pianists, JENNY BAZZOLI and MARGARET CHURCH, coming in. We then took a bus out to LUTHER KNAUFF'S nine hundred acre farm. We found Luther showing JANE SEKON and SANTA DeMARCHl, two vacationing nurses, his large dairy room. We returned directly to Washington and here separated, Dorothy to take lunch with actresses JANE MCNARY and RUTH LANDAU and I to catch the train for home. As I boarded the train I greeted LEONA LENOSKY and JOSEPHINE RUSCIOLELLI who were just arriving to accept secretarial positions in the government. When the last of Washington had disappeared behind a bend I settled myself for a comfortable siesta. Page 17
