Class Prophet-MARGARET DULLEA Class Prophecy ITH abated breath, almost be- wildered by the tenseness of the moment, the members of the Class of 1940 silently take their places on the fabulous Magic Carpet, and prepare for a sojourn in the world of tomorrow. The magic word is spoken, and away we go, ten years into the future. Up, up, up, until it seems that we will break into the blue ceiling of the sky. Now we start to descend. First stop. Where are we? The surroundings are quite strange. The Magic Carpet takes us through the open window of an extremely modern dress shop and stops in mid-air. Below us, we see the interior of the shop, thronging with expensively-dressed women as they ioyfully watch the pro- ceedings of a fashion show, presented by Grace Daly, proprietress. All the Paris creations are purchased by the shop's clever buyer, Doris Noyes, and many of the American-made garments are de- signed by Annette King, noted fashion forecaster. Look! There is a model in a stunning gown, and she is none other than Eleanor Scanlon. And now there's another school chum coming out on the stage, Marie Morrissey. Amid the throng of eager women, we see social worker Mary Barnicle, seated beside Dorothy another of her famous books. There is a buzz of voices as a woman, obviously active in the business world, enters. It is Stella Rudack, who is at present cam- paigning for the position of mayor of Boston. If she succeeds, she will be the first woman to have control of the city. On the left, we notice two girls, who have that stenographic look, Mildred Finnegan and Mary Connor. Also pres- ent at the affair is Helena Crowley, well- known journalist, who is seriously con- templating entering the wedded state. Chatting gayly with her is Marguerita Poblet, who has been responsible to a great extent for the rise of Cuban im- portance in America. Talking over ex- periences of her last expedition in Africa with some friends, Bring 'Em Back Alive Doris Johnson thrills her ardent listeners. In a corner, we see Margaret Mahoney and Louise McKenna discuss the latest things in the world of music, which they will print in their own mus- ical magazine, Musica. Across the aisle is Sherlock Holmes Catherine McDer- mott, on vacation after a strenuous case. The pilot of the Magic Carpet again invokes the powers of the magical world, and once more, we go off to another scene, which will foretell our fate. On the way, some bright girl turns on her portable radio, and we hear the sweet voice of Eleanor O'Rourke, the Singing McElhiney, who has just finished writing Lady Of 19502 telling fairy tales I0 H- X s l:47l fl to 1940 W - - .. 1 rf 7'tlfvl'l
