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

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.

Class Prophecy tcorrtinmecll information booth. The person in charge, Fran Teresi, is dispensing much informa- tion and data. Witli Fran's information, we continue on our way, meeting Anna Cafasso, who informed us that she now works as governess in a prominent house- hold, and this is her day off. Anna joined our party and we enter the Business Sys- tems hall. Amid many modern office ma- chines, we see our commercial-minded col- leagues, Maureen Ryan, charming office re- ceptionist, and Alice Brown, a successful tax collector, inspecting a new type of office safe with Edward Walsh, leading executive of a New York department store. Michael Attreed and Edmund Nannery, branch managers of Walsh's Stores, were also in the group. Having greeted these friends, we start off for our last visit today, the Communications Building. On the way, we again meet friends, Audrey Hoffman and Addie Fisher, who are doing the Fair together. Audrey, we learn, is em- ployed by Arthur Murray as his most tal- ented dancing-teacher. Addie, equally for- tunate, is Usherette-in-Chief at the Roxy Theatre. Having wished them good luck we go into the building at the Bell Tele- phone entrance. Seated at a huge switch- board is Lucy Levitzki, demonstrating the trials of a telephone operator. She is cur- rently putting through a call to China. As we turn to leave, we come face to face with our friend, Lillian McNally, with whom we always have time to talk. In the course of the conversation we learn that she is chief instructress in a Brooklyn gym. Lil loves work and needless to say, is success- ful. Now we really must go. Our feet are complaining, as well as our tired eyes. As Mayor Hordych enters his official car to leave the grounds, our friends and former classmates gather around to say farewell. It was wonderful meeting our classmates once again! Let us hope we see them again in the near future. RUTH O'BRIEN, Drerr Designer f HOLlSC of Fashion Pavilionq
