THE Houa GLASS 23 Father Time: 'AMiss Bandhold is at the head of the Kindergartens of all the schools. She too has made this great city her place of business. And was not Miss Bolton of your class? She is Dean of girls in Sprinigiett Col- lege, located here. Here also Miss Kohl is head of the French Department. It is not strange that four of your friends should 'be found here because Datona, a mere town a few years ago, grew so swiftly, almost meteor-like, that it attracted the attention of everyone. Senior: But Father Time, did none of my classmates marry P Father Time: mAh, friend, 1946 is not a year to keep even married women from having careers. But, in truth, Mildred Steubing and Margaret Dwyer are no longer Miss Steubing and Miss Dwyer: they are married,- and have cause to join the Parent Teacher's Association! Senior: The mist is changing.- - The Roosevelt Dam, how beauti- full VVhat wonderful farms have resulted from this irrigation project! What classmate do I find' here? Father Time: Throughout this whole state the fame of Braman, Denni- son Braman, as a farmer, has spread. He has won great success by perse- verence and labor. Now he is on his porch, talking to his neighbor. VVhat is he saying? He is telling of the second Harold Lloyd making fame in Hollywood. Dannello VVeirro is his namef' fT'he mist shifts, showing a huge office building in New York. It shows the registry in the lower hall.j Senior: Bulman, Dr. Bulman, could it be Marjorie Bulman?,' Father Time: Yes, it is Dr. Buliman, once a Senior of '26. She has made and built up an extensive practice here. But. there are more of your classmates on that registry. Miss DeNise has her office here. She is National President of the League of YVoimen Voters, and a very active one too. Dr. Streppa, I believe, was of your class. He is of the best known doctors in New York. Many valuable medical discoveries owe their ex- istence to his skill. Senior: Here is another familiar name, Taber. John Taber, lawyer, just as I should have expectedf, Father' Tim-e: He has proved himself especially worthy of praise in criminal cases. Very shrewd. Now friend, through this window you can see an enormous building, on Twenty-eighth Street, the one with the two flags on the top. Do you see? Senior: Yes, there is the sign, 'Detro Paper Clothing Companyil Nellie Detro, manager of a paper clothing company, how typical I Father Time: Now as you see Fifth Avenue pass by, be sure and notice the 'Fifth Avenue Modiste Shop., It is run by Miss Kopp. Miss Fredrik is her buyer abroadf' fAlas, the mist now discloses to the astonished Senior one of the huge glass skyscrapersj Father Time: Here Mr. Reamer, head of the Consolidated Carnegie Copper Company, has his offices. 'This industry has grown greatly since the private ownership of aeroplanes. Above him, Miss Clark, Hazel Clark, has her headquarters, as State Civil Service Examiner. But let us return near to Fairport. In Rochester we find, .as secretary to the City Manager, Miss Mable Schmidt, whose ability in this vocation is well known. Here also, from Station VVI-I A M, we find Miss Rogan broadcasting her speeches on 'Amer'ica's Great Men'. Senior: WIill this some time come true? I suppose time will tell Father Time: Time has told! -Elizabeth Merriman.
