breathless young audience. The dial is turned, and the ether waves bring to us the voice of Margaret Parsons, divulging beauty secrets. Soon we hear the famous news commentator, Eleanor Crocker, as she relates the events of the day. On the next station, we listen to delicious recipes, broadcast by Gertrude Qualters. Betty and Jane is the next program, and we are astounded to hear the parts of these characters, as they flit from one adventure to another, portrayed by Eleanor Quinn and Marie Glynn. The most popular program of the day is next heard. Those Two Tacky Titters , Betty Connors and Margaret Eccleston, leave us holding our sides with laughter. Guest stars on their program are Mar- garet Tumblety, who recently won the award, Nfost Promising Singer of 1950, and Virginia Harrison, well-known actress. Static interrupts our pleasure and we are forced to turn off the radio and direct our attention to our next destination. The Magic Carpet descends a second time and we find ourselves inside a great white hospital, managed by women, and for women only. In a short space of time, we are making its rounds unseen. On a gold plaque by the massive door, we learn that the hospital is the gift of Mary McDonough, social leader, and Virginia Jacques, philanthropist. Joan Condon, Night Supervisor, smiles graciously to Mary Bergh, Day Supervisor, as she finishes her work. In the Surgical De- partment, Josephine Browne, M.D., is in the midst of a difficult operation on that twin of twins, Alice Sheehan, modern Paderewski, whose better half, Ann, noted violinist, anxiously paces the hall and repeatedly demands of the desk nurse, Rita Clancy, the latest report on her sister. Rita is also being questioned by the flustered and practically pros- trated mothers, Mary Herlihy, whose pride and joy is recuperating from a severe case of pneumonia, and Margaret Hickey, whose daughter is now engaged in the very tricky business of having her tonsils removed. A look into the labora- tory of the hospital reveals that great germatologist, Margaret Dullea, examin- ing her test tubes, with her assistant, Claire O'Keefe. On the opposite side of the room, another figure bends over her reports. lt is Grace Cicco, who has done such wonderful research work. In the Dental Hygienics Department, we find Jeanne Collins extracting some poor in- dividual's tooth. Over at the emergency entrance, a stretcher, bearing the un- conscious form of Virginia Rogers, traveling saleslady, is carried into the hospital by two attendants, Margaret Cushing and Mary Lou Newcomb. The magic word is again spoken, and once more we view the coming years. We are transported quickly to a modern school, operated by Ruth Hunter. On the faculty list, we find the names of Helen Harney, swimming instructress, whose team holds the highest number of victories in the National Swimming League, Anna VValsh, English teacherg Ruth Sullivan, dancing teacher, Mary Shea, basketball coachg Louise Birming- ham, Art teacherg and Mary Broussard, French teacher. For the last time, we observe future events, as we glide unnoticed into a great mansion. A bridge party seems to be in progress beneath us. The hostess, Evelyn Sweeney, a wealthy widow, is still receiv- ing late-comers. Going up to greet her is Muriel Mack, now a Physical Culture instructress in a well-known women's college. In the center of the room, as chummy now as they were back in school, and at this time living in marital bliss, are Anna Maguire, Francesca Lane, Ruth Mahoney, and Honor Monahan, now in- quiring, between bids, as to xIunior's health, and Sonny's measles. At a table to the right, Ann Dolan, Dean of Frad- cliffe College, converses with Mary Silk, famous dietician, and Frances Murphy, a hairdresser in one of the most exclusive salons in the country. The fourth at this table is Louise Mahoney, who recently became a member of the Metropolitan Opera Company. A little regretfully, we turn homeward back to our own decade. Each girl is pensive, busy with her own thoughts. Mfill the awful truth become reality? Is it to be or not to be, that is the ques- tion ? VVill the future hold something greater, something more attractive? May we all reach the bright pinnacle of a truly Christian life. 4 A MARGARET DULI,.EA, '4o. -5 f48l The Mount Y l
