V '7 5 Ag A Qatfv Q t...?, CLASS PROPHIECY PART I Say, Al, doing anything today? queried jim Morrissey, seated comfortably on a lounge in the lobby of thenew 120-storied hotel of the K. of C. VVhy no, what's on your mind now? I asked. Oh, I thought maybe we could run out to the club and play a few holes of golf. VVhat do you say? By all means, yes, I feel as if I could go around in about 69 today. Come on, let's get dressed. Jim a.nd I retired to our suites. Meanwhile, I'll tell you something about us. Graduating from dear old De La Salle in '27, Jim, or Link as we know him familiarly, entered Fordham Medical and finished at johns Hopkins. Since then he has practiced successfully and is one of the foremost medicos in New York. Leaving the Institute in the same year, I matriculated at Syracuse and have since completed many architectural enterprises. VVe have been together incessantly and remained at the K. of C. hotel every year during our families' vacations. Finally dressed, I called to Jim, Are you ready? Yes, said Jim. VVe will run up in the car. It's pretty hot today. VVe jumped into the car and soon were spinning along through the country. Jim was intent on driving but I was thinking about our old school friends. I wish I could meet some of the old crowd, d0n't you, Jim? You bet, he replied, I haven't seen any of them in years. The brakes screeched and a car, coming towards us, dodged through a fence to one side into a field: that was a narrow squeak. VVe jumped out and ran toward it. The men in the other car also got out. XVhy don't you blow your horn on these sharp curves? yelled one of them. I'm sorry, apologized jim, but-look.whose here, Jerry O'Connell and john McQuade, and still together! VVe welcomed each other warmly and sat down to talk. Jack and Jerry were partners in the brokerage business and were returning from a trans- continental tour. - VVell, Al, said jack. I met a friend of yours in Chicago, Harry Spencer, who's in the textile business and getting along well. Yeh, hey! interrupted jerry, I met Bobb Dillon out in Arizona. He's in charge of reclaiming the desert for the Government. Yes, quite a sandy thing to do,', cracked Jack, up to his old tricks. VVhile in St. Louis, I happened to meet Jim Faherty, who is now the editor of the St. Louis Ledger, the largest paper in the city. It was getting late and Mac and Jerry found it necessary to leave us. It was noon when we arrived at the club. VV hen we stepped out of the locker-house we saw a big crowd, I asked jim what was up. He replied that it looked like a pro match. We edged in and saw -in the act of driving off Harry Gugler. VVe followed eagerly and finally he finished up well inthe lead. l51I

in At the 19th we met him and got talking. Do you know who I met recently in England? he asked. ' Pop ' Manning, now a military attache in London And in Paris I met Jimmie Ryan, who is travelling for his health and appetite after cleaning up a nice bit of money ,from his world-famed Saxophone Octet Dan Donovan is now the Yankee consul in Rome. Finally we left Harry and hurried home. The next day I was in my office, reviewing a project, when the door opened and the office boy admitted a big, handsome man, resembling an ad for Mennen s Shaving Cream :-Felix Conlon, old Whiskers of eld. We shook hands warmly and sat down. Al, he said, I want you to design a garage for my company, the American Express Co. You see, I am the president, he explained The transaction completed, he remarked, I met James Edwards the other night as he was coming in from Scranton to see the Big Town over the week end He is in the coal business and is doing very well. Did you see this, drawing a newspaper from his pocket, 'HCANIGLIA COACHES ANOTHER' VVIN NING COMBINATION AT MANHAT'TAN.' Old Connie, well-known for his athletic and coaching prowess. VV hen Felix had gone, I settled back to scan the news of the day. I noticed that Tom Mahoney, sport editor, was writing a series of interesting articles. Back. at the hotel jim said, as soon as I entered, I'll bet you don't knovs whom I saw today in my office. No, I don't, I replied. It was VVa1t Vifhalen He's a boss politician now, he came to see me about a fall oii a soapbox. VVe decided to eat, so we were walking through the lobby when a well dressed man stumbled into our arms. XV hen he had recovered his equilibrium and picked up his glasses, who was it but our old friend, Gene Galvin. Im sorry, he said, but I'm just recovering my landlegs. just back from a little trip around the world. Getting to be a regular globetrotterf' IVe were very glad to see him again. By the way, he added, meet the wfife. . He presented a beautiful blonde, in whom we recognized the former Miss Tompkins, the famous movie star. VVe were very much flattered. I Over dinner we spoke of daily matters, but Gene seemed to be one of those big. silent men who say little but eat much. However, he ventured, You know Doc, Jeannette is to appear in the screen version of the latest novel by the famous Frank Dolan. Doc suggested a show after dinner, so we got some good seats in the great Metropolis theatre. As the curtain rose, a chesty tow-headed man appeared in the ballet act. He was great, in admiration I looked over my program: ohn Clarke. Not until then did I recognize our jawn. It was an agreeable surprise and after the play, we went behind scenes and pushed our way through a crlowd of his ardent admirers. There we renewed our acquaintance with Jack. VVell, here's a man we're mighty glad to meet, he exclaimed. VVe turned to meet jimmy Broderick, come back for the same purpose as we had. He is I E521 y
