s were viewing the models, I recognized Frances Duguay. She was already famous as one of America's greatest novelists. After dinner, Elizabeth Allen, Jane Ranando, Herbert Moran, Warren Lewis, and I, who made up a jolly little party, were entertained at a large theater by the singing of Alice O'Brien and the organ playing of Vincent Plotas. The next afternoon Miss Duguay and I had tea with Elsie Schneider and Elizabeth Pukas, who were superintendents of large hospitals. Miss Duguay invited me to go to Philadelphia with her when she wanted to interview a famous newspaper man. We were delighted to meet Lillian Gillis who was private secretary to James Nash, editor-in-chief of the Philadelphia Ledger. In one of the big eating houses of the Curtiss Food Company, we happened upon Lawyers Roberge, May, and Hanlon whom we interrupted in the discussion of some case. As we were talk- ing, we saw enter a short, sturdy gentleman. We were all delighted to have Judge Schneider join us. Page Sixty-four Miss Duguay and I decided to take in the sights at Miami, Florida. We knew that we should receive a warm welcome from Dr. Cinq- Mars- We were especially interested in the many beautiful paintings by Helen Bergman which she had adorning the walls of her luxu- rious home at Coral Gables. Dr. Cinq-Mars gave us directions for finding the drug store of Cyril Rochon. We were not surprised to find him assisted by Thomas Behan and Anthony Balan- da, for these three had been chemistry sharks back at school. On our way home, we had many interesting things to talk over concerning the changes in the Class of '26, End of Prophecy This is Station L. H.

-.. in PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF 1926 Ladies and gentlemen, this is Station L. H. S., Waterbury, Connecticut, Mae Mary Andrulis announcing. We have received so many phone calls, telegrams, and other messages compli- menting us on our travel-talks of 1922, 1923, 1924, and 1925, that we have decided to favor you with another tonight. This is Station L. H. S., Waterbury, Connecti- cut, the greatest high school in the brass center of the world. Please stand by for one minute. The Prophecy After a hard day's work, I decided to take a day off. I boarded a train for New York City. The conductor, a tall, handsome, dark man whose face was all wreathed in smiles, laughed famili- arly as I passed him and said, Hello there. For a moment I was dumbfounded, for I cou1dn't make out who he was. Then things cleared up. The conductor was Patsy Jamele. At Stam- ford, Conn., Patsy pointed out the large home- office building of the Carolan, Christensen and Reid Construction Company. At New Rochelle and Mount Vernon and later in New York City, he pointed out other beautiful buildings they had built. He told me that the engineer of the train was Anthony Mangini. When I left the Grand Central depot and step- ped out on 42nd Street, I went up to a policeman and asked him to direct me to Fifth Avenue. I was on my way to the world famous Betty Jane Gown Shoppe. I had heard so much about this Gown Shoppe that I had always wanted to see it. Immediately the policeman shouted Duffy, I repeated the name over and over again. When the taxicab drove up, I glanced sharply at both of them, for I noticed how broadly they were smiling and discovered that the policeman was James Doyle and the taxicab driver, William Duffy. After a hectic ride through New York traf- fic, I reached the Gown Shoppe. The proprie- tresses were Elizabeth Allen and Jane Ranando, two of the best seamstresses of the Class of '26, The assistant managers of the shoppe were Her- bert Moran and Warren Lewis. A few models came out dressed in some of the exquisite crea- tions of the establishment. Among those who Page Sixty-three 3? 98
