Clan Prophecy Due to the fact that this year 1950 is the Holy Year, which occurs only every twenty-five years, we think it fitting that we look into the crystal ball twenty-five years hence on July 14, 1975. The first scene takes place ln the observatory on top of the Emplre State Building. Looking intently through a tele- scope we sight the Metropolitan Opera House. As we peer closer we see that the Met is filled to its capacity. The audience awaits tensely for the great opera Carmen to be- gln. The first symphonic note sounds and the curtain slow- ly rises. 'A great applause peals forth. NO! It couldn't bel It lsn't, but lt is none other than SALLY LIPINSKI, portraying the role of Carmen, We might add that Mlle. LIPINSKI received her early training in the Glee Club under the direction of Sister Thoma. As we turn nearer to the right, our telescope stops at Sak's Fifth Avenue. We see a sales girl scurrying about, she ,comes to a halt outside of a door with the name Head Fashion Designer printed in gold letters. As the door opens we see SALLIE PAT TOBIN sitting behind a mahogany desk with eight secretaries busily taking notes. With one hand she is drawing the cover for Vogue and with the other she is cutting a sales glrl's hair. Our telescope swings to the extreme right and comes in focus at the New York Harbor. On looking closer we see a large crowd. We then decide to go down and see what is causing the commotion. As we walk down the dock we inquire and find that the boat is getting ready to sail for Rome for the 1975 Holy Year. We notice the name of the boat is 'Sally's Alley! We board the boat seeking the Captain. To our surprise we find the Captain to be SALLY SMITH. It seems Chris- Craft has grown from a speed boat concern to a steamship llne. Going farther down the deck during our inspection tour we see the manager of the U. S. Olympic teams, HELEN RICE, on her way to Rome to coach her team to victory and to win the trophy. She doesn't have to worry when some- one from her team is lll for she plays every sport with equal skill. Her pupil, ELAINE JOHNSTON, the Olympic swimming champion, amazes the whole ship by jumping over board and swimming alongside the tug-boat out of the har- bor. She credits her swimming ability to her Monday night swimming classes. Suddenly a shout is heard from the shore. We look back and see a beautiful blonde surrounded by photographers. At first we do not recognize her, but when we notice how vigorously she is chewing gum we realize it is the now famous ROSEMARY BARRETT. As usual she has just missed the boat by one minute, but Elaine and the tug-boat manage to turn the steamboat around, for the ship cannot afford to leave Mlss Barrett, who might sue the com- pany for all it's worth. The Pepsodent Company and Wrigley Chewing Gum, as a result of Miss Barrett's extensive use of their products, have combined to make a Wrigley-Pepsi- Gum, and Rosemary the teeth Barrett has been chosen to advertise this product in Europe. The boat finally sets out. The four cylinder engines begin to roar and the whistle makes a gallant effort to toot, but all that can be heard is a feeble rasplng sound. Looking into the control room we see JEANNE McAULIFFE exerting her muscles and strength to push the whistle button. But due to the fact that the button ls broken Jeaxmle takes a dras- tlc move and gathering up all her strength she blows into the toot plpe and out comes the most forceful toot New York has ever heard. Continuing our tour we hear a faint clicklty, clicklty, clack and on drawing closer we see DIANN WARD, the second Betsy Ross-, sitting in a deck chair, lmitting the next American flag. Next we bump into a verv smart and lavishly dressed woman sunning her dozen dignified daschaunds. As we look closer we see IRISALMASHX who, it seems, has made her dieting, back ln the Academy days, pay off. 'While talking with her we learn that she is going to Rome for a short vacation from the humdrum of social llfe. Next, we rub elbows with DEE ADAMS playing shuffleboard on deck. We find that Dee is taking to Europe a string of thorough- bred horses to enter them against Yasmin Ka.hn's thorough- breds in the Irish Sweepstakes. We wish her good luck and move on to freshen up in our stateroom. On the way we notice something very unusual, on the last ten staterooms the same name appears. We inquire into the matter and find that MARY LOU SARNAC is carrying on the large family tra- dition and that she is going to Rome to receive the American Catholic Mother of the Year Award from the Holy Father. At the dining room, while waiting for the head waitress, to our amazement we find not one but two, and who should they be but MEARA POTTER and SALLY GREEN. They have climbed from chief cook and bottle-washer to the positions they now hold. As you may already know Sally and Meara began their long climb up the ladder of success in the small Academy Deb-U-Tea. We're a bit startled at their attire since they're dressed in Roman togas. After dinner, on the way to our stateroom, we see a nurse rushing along tne second deck. As we catch up with her we find that it is EVELYN GRANT, who has at long last received her R. N. degree. We learn that she is hurrying to the aid of another passenger As we come upon the patient, who is ill from fatigue, we recall seeing her swabbing the decks, making beds, acting as purser, answering the telephone, and trying to crowd a million and one things into twenty-four hours as was always characteristic of busy MARY RAE SENNETT. The patient being in good hands, we proceed to our stateroom. For a bit of relaxation, we pick up The Newsette, which has grown to twenty-five pages, with a reading public of 25,000. The headlines scream Famous Woman Lawyer to Visit Romel We read further and learn that the lawyer is IRENE GLENT, the only woman lawyer who has never lost a case, the rea- son for this is a very logical one: the judges all dle of laughter. Next we turn on our television set and who should we see taking over Godfrey's talent show, but our own red- head, MARYELLEN SLATTERY. We listen for a while and then hear the porter calling out our arrival at Rome. Next morning we hear that a member of the 1950 class ls to be canonized at St. Peter's. On the way to the cere- monies we pass a canal where we see a familiar figure, GAY OSSOWSKI, a famous gondoller. At her side ls PAT PUMFREY, a serenader singing ln true Lawrence Melchior style. Continuing on our way we pass the Sistine Chapel, which has been recently redecorated by MARY THEODORE, the only modern artist who could possibly re-touch Michael- angelo's work. We finally reached St. Peter's, and on enter- ing we hear the Vatican choir filling the Church with music. and MARY BOYNTON directing the choir in all splendor and majesty. As we mentioned before, a member of the class of '50 is being canonlzed. Here ls a strange case: If the canoni- zatlon goes through, FRANCES MURPHY will be the only living saint known to the Church. The necessary miracle consists in her being able to live with her sister these many years. After the long ceremony we go to the office of the Holy Father to catch a glimpse of someone we know who has a private audience. As they did in 1950, Barbour Hall has sent the Reverend Mother, who is now Reverend Mother Verda, S.S.l, to Rome. After chatting with Reverend Mother for a while, we hear an odd marching step and turn swiftly to see the Vatican Swiss Guard doing an intricate step led by AURELIA STAN and SUDS SMITH, who became famous in Radio City, N. Y. In our amazement we accidently bump into a very important woman with a brief case. She is on her way to see the head of the Allied Armies with her new invention. As a result of her youthful struggle with mud roads, JEAN TROUTMAN has invented a new mud grip tire that is so strong that it will allow a car to climb Plke's Peak in high gear at 65 miles an hour. We bid Jean a hurried good-by and then phone for reser- vations for our trip home.
