X tiff ll? ll XX ,., if 2 rt 55 msrnn ps t , In September, 1938, Flight '42 took off for the destination of Achievement and Success. The capable pilots were Miss Dalton and Sister Electa. The passengers were two bewildered Freshman classes, who fastened their safety belts nervously, and hoped for the best. Thanks to the pilots, Qand in part the passengersj, the first lap of the flight was over before anyone even realized it. So far, the trip was a success. At the Sophomore Airport the plane refuled and changed pilots. Sister Helen Regina replaced the previous Captains. There were also new passen- gers taken on . . . Robert Woods, Raoul Alvares, Beth Haynes, Frances Teresi, Elsie Smits and Bernie McCabe . . . embarked, and the Strato-liner once more took off. This time the weather was not so sunny. Thunderclouds named Geometry and Latin loomed threateningly ahead. However, the sturdy plane soared through them, and came out somewhat shaken, but not damaged. It circled slowly over the junior Airport and glided gracefully in. The cockpit again changed hands . . . Miss Mullins taking over the controls. Once again the flagship left the ground, this time to encounter fairly good flying weather. Only one air-pocket was encountered . . . a down-wind entitled Public Speaking. The more timid passengers suffered greatly from this, but it was soon left far behind. Again the plane circled over an intermediary airport and taxied in to a smooth stop. This was the Senior Landing Field, the last stop before the destination of Graduation would be reached. A few passengers, Dick Ford, Maureen Ryan and Kay McCann entered the plane at this point, and a new captain took over. This pilot, a most experienced one, was perhaps the ablest yet. She skillfully managed the giant stratoliner past rugged mountains and perverse winds. She also helped prepare the passengers for the turbulence which might greet them when they landed at the final airport, and left the plane forever. This capable guide, Sister Agnes Cyril, is beloved by the entire study body for her helpfulness. At last, with the beacon-lights of the last air-field in sight, the transport roared in to a passengers bade farewell to plane and pilot, resolving to re-visit the scene of their journey in later years, and to renew old acquaintance.

,,,. - ..,.,...',,., . . .T L 1 We Won't Forget . Let's take a few side glances, At the Class of 42, The things that made them different, In their way from me and you. We'll think of Ronnie Becker, With that smile that showed no care, And we won't forget Pat Gately, With her lovely red hair. And Matty Byrne we won't forget, With his quiet sense of humor, Nor Betty Lester who never failed, To spread the smallest rumor. Of Alice Brown we'll always think, With her war cry, Gotcha dues, And Bernie McCabe we'll remember too With a heart as big as his shoes. Ronnie Westervelt we'll think of much, With her kind and witty way, And joseph Knowles who always seemed To make a dull room gay. Of Stan Hordych we'll always think, For his ability on the court, And Kay McCann, a well dressed girl, Of few words but of much thought. Those dancing feet of Aud Hoffman, Her brains an added feature, And Mary Kelly our glamor girl, Was one lovely creature. The kindly way of Fran Teresi, Is something we'll all miss, And Lucy Levitski a real good sport, A girl with so much bliss. Frances jerlinski with her causal way, Well mannered and of good sense, And Neil Rypkema with a broad, happy smile His brains were quite far from dense. May success be theirs in this cloud ladened world May the land of The Rising Sun, sink, Uapanj And I hope before long that we all will come back Men in Packards and Ladies in Mink. ROBERT Woons

Class Prophecy Worlds Fair II is now being opened amid much pomp and circumstance. This time the gigantic Exposition is located in Hack- ensack, a rapidly growing metropolis. The Armistice of World War II is the theme of the Fair, and its slogan of Democracy is carried out by every nation in the world having embassies there. The official open- ing-address is now being made by Stanley Hordych, Mayor of Hackensack, and hon- orary manager of the Fair. The Mayor has just been introduced by the famous au- thor-lecturer, George jackson. In the press- office box we can see Vincent Lavach, not- ing the Mayor's speech, jane Nolan taking down society memos, and Mary Kelly ob- serving fashions worn by the various social- ites and the famed commentator, Robert Woods, awaiting a chance to get Mayor Hordych's opinion as to whether the Dodgers will win the pennant this year. After the Mayor's talk, a few more celebri- ties are introduced, namely, Fred Stein, the science professor of Columbia, and lead- ing clarifier of the Einstein theory, and john Hordych . . . vocalist with America's number one orchestra. The.Mayor and his party, accompanied by a military escort led by Captain Matty Byrnes, now proceed to examine the various pavilions. Let's follow the party. On the way to the nearest build- ing, we see a crowd gathered about some- one who is graciously handing out auto- graphs. It's none other than the first lady of the theater, Miss Ronnie Westervelt. Standing near her is her most efficient sec- retary and capable manager, Doris jerlin- ski. They both seem pleased with the ova- tion Ronnie is receiving. As we enter the first pavilion, that of Brazil, we are greet- ed by her foremost plantation owner, Raoul Alvares. On taking leave of Raoul, we enter the building marked Sciences Here we find some clever atom-smashing being conducted by America's leading chemist, Arthur Ward. Explanations of experiments and other information may be obtained from Dr. Richard Ford, the learned physician in charge of this exhibit. Proceeding on to the next hall, we are stopped midway by another crowd clamor- ing for autographs. This time the central figures are the nation's favorite profession- al athletes: Ray Helble, and Bernie Mc- Cabe. Looks as if they'll be muscle-bound for a week after signing all those auto- graphs! Our next stop, more of interest to ladies in the party, is the House of Fash- ions and Cosmetics. We recognize more of our classmates here. A model showing the latest thing in traveling suits is Kay McCann. Near her is the dress designer, Beth Haynes, demonstrating the steps used in sketching for newspapers. Opposite them are two of Helena Rubenstein's best employees, Pat Gately, beautician, and Betty Lester, manicurist. Much to the re- lief of the gentlemen, we leave this build- ing and proceed to the next pavilion, the Industrial Arts Hall. The first exhibit to catch our eye is joe Knowles' exquisite floral arrangement. Hat's off to you, joe, for something really worthwhile! An- other clever idea is a miniature of Neil Rypl-:ema's Dairy Farm. Large crowds are attracted to this panorama. We must leave rather soon, as we still have much of the Fair to view. Next stop is at the Aviation Airdrome, a replica of an airplane hangar. We again see several friends, Elsie Smits famous adventuress, and owner of the world's largest private collection of air- planes. Conversing with her is T.W.A.'s first commercial aviatrix, Ronnie Becker. The guide and information clerk is none other than Fran jerlinski, Pan-American Airlines' No. 1 hostess. After a quick tour around the hangar, we leave in search of the Business System's building. Not be- ing sure of its location, we inquire at the
