Elmira Catholic High School Annual CLASS PROPHECY May 28, 1947 Dear Diary, Today Margaret and I decided to take time off from our respective po- sitions and go to see some of our old class mates. NVe took an early train and soon were in Elmira. Neither of us had been home for some time, and we were quite surprised to see how changed the city was. The first place we stopped was Sheehan Sz Dean's Store, where we found Ann McCarthy as head buyer. She told us that Paul Sheehan was the president of the Men's College here. Incidentally only commercial subjects are taught in this college. Later as we were talking to Paul he informed us that Xllilliam Osborne, joseph Maloney, and Ernest Fennell were profes- sors in history, languages, and mathematics respectively. VVe went to see Mrs. Sidney Mitchell, the former Ruth Agnes Manning, who told us that Angelina Mancini was a famous opera star who just sang the leading role in Gunod's Faust , Sidney, she told us, was head of the Lawyer,s Associa- tion. He's quite a success financially and socially, of course. XVe also learned from her that those two famous stunt flyers, who were recuperating in the local hospital were Leo Norton and joseph Carrigan. Olene Brus-so, by the way, the superintendent of a famous clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Of course, we knew that Maryanna Peterson was a budding actress of the screen and that Rita Schneck has a radio program of her own, but we did not know that Margaret O'Donnell was a famous French teacher in Hunter's College, New York City, until we met Ann Battersby. Ann, who is secretary to the president of Elmira College, had a tea for us. There we met many of our former friends, who told us that Regina Kaminski is a noted short story writer and that Nonie Gaffey designs clothes. Later as we were waiting for a cab Margaret told me that Paul Lewis was an artist, very well known and that his friend Frank Hartnett was employed by many of the leading newspapers as a cartoonist. Once downtown again we heard the s-trains of a dance orchestra. It was playing Stardust , As we sat down to listen Margaret noticed the leader whom she recognized as Bob Fouhy. He came over and talked awhile saying that he was just visiting here as we were. He told us that he played in a famous night club in Philadelphia where Phyllis Devlin danced. He also said that Thomas Butler was a great physician who just completed a round the world tour in the study of medicine. Jack Arman it seems, owns a string of polo ponies and john Lynch several race horses. john johnson, so I've heard, has just written a book concerning ancient Ireland. Richard Hanley is a second Irving Berlin and all his songs meet with the greatest success. Harry Lagonegro is in England at the present, teaching them the rudiments of American baseball. And that is all dear diary because Margaret and I had a strenuous day, but it was worth it, for now we know where all our old friends and classmates are.
