THE PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF '46 THE scene takes place at a newsstand in the year l96O. A new issue of Flash , the mag- azine people read, has come out. The newsdealer iif it' isn't John Lylell is glancing through it with one of his customers, a housewife who looks very fam . . . of course it's Marie Anderson.- What's this! The editorial staff has just been revised and this issue is the first sample of their work. Wonder who the editor is . . . hmm-m-m . . . well if it isn't Ben Herzfeld. Dot Fox, who's his private secretary, and her staff which includes Anna Cutrufello, Dolores Greene, Jean Brown, Edna Mae Jurnecka, and Virginia Bunting, must be working very hard these days. Ben's associate editors are Le Roy Tilden and Barbara Lee, his business editor is John Dunlop. Look at that sharp cover design . . . it was done by Brad Coursen, who's made quite a name for himself in the field of commercial art. Belle Notkin, Flash's foreign correspondent, has an article in this week's issue about our foreign policy with Argentina. She gets quite a bit of her information from Nancy Hig- gins, who's in the diplomatic corps down there. And Fred Klett, sports writer, has written up an interview he had with Herm Hering, former All American, and Don Brown, head foot- ball coaches at Annapolis. There's also an article about Sol Bunin, head basketball coach at St. John's and a picture story about high school wrestling with a commentary by Joe Coli- celio, former state champ who now coaches at Roselle Park High School, where teams haven't lost a match in ten years. The music department, under the direction of Nancy Glendenning, publishes in this issue a controversy between Calvin Wacker, noted psychologist and lover of serious music and those three cats, Bob de Groot, Flip Florio, and Emil Kleinert. Hear tell the 'boys have quite an outfit these days. Joe Rafalowski, famous night club owner, has quite a spread in Flash this week about the opening of his new cabaret, the Flamingo Club . Featured in his floor show are Terry Candela, and Helen Terbecki, whose dancing is the toast of the town. Gene Russamano and his band . . . which, incidentally, features Mike Ferrara and Phil Sabio . . . are playing an engagement at the club now and the crowds are really coming to hear the new swoon king, Frankie Recca, who sings with the band. Here are pictures of three fall wardrobes, chosen as samples by Margaret Benner and Ginny Hammond, :buyers for Bonwit Teller. They were assisted by Marion Beyer, Peggie Willis, and Helen Sporer, who were called in as consultants 'because they know what fashions appeal to the business girl. The gorgeous girls modeling the clothes are Glo Hale, Mary Hagopian, and Helen Hartung. The clothes were designed by Marie Almind, Ellen Wilkins, Helen Kleinhans, and Doris Ayers, designers for the Barrett 61 Wood Manufacturing Company. Leafing through the magazine, we find on page 22 an article on the new self-propelled helicopters perfected by Don Cambria, Bill Rich, and Patsy Appello, aviation mechanics. A company has already -been organized which will use these helicopters. Gene Besselman, who was once a flier himself, is president of the company. The only crew members on the heli- copters are the stewardesses. For the initial flight Gene has hired Ruth Wilday and Jean Valenti as air hostesses . . . Bob Webb, who runs a mail service in the back woods of Canada where houses are few and far between, intends to use it as his mode of transportation. 42

Nor were other sports for- gotten in this celebration: expected to rep- resent us in-basketball were Sol Bunin and Her- man Hering, co-captains, Tom Meade, Don Langstaff,'Charlie Shields, and Brad Coursen, wrestling prepared to open its season with co- captains Fred Klett and Andy Fortunato, Don Brown, Joe Rafalowski, John Cullerton, Cal Wacker, Joe Colicelio, Bob de Groot, Emil Kleinert, and Bob Oldeholff, with George Costa managing, while great things were expected of Herm Hering, Sol Bunin, Fred Klett, Brad Coursen, and Frank Recca on the baseball dia- mond. Nor was the scholastic angle neglected. Pro- spective honor students were Nancy Higgins, Nancy Glendenning, Jean Forrest, Barbara Lee, and Belle Notkin. Would the rest of the year be smooth sailing calm seas? Or would there be other rapids on . to navigate, of which we were yet unaware? We did not know. But we could,land did, loo: ahead with enloyment to our ship s forma an , beyond that, to the day when we would glide gracefully into our last port with shining colors and flags flying, ready to sail again, each df us alone on a new and more difficult tcruise, sett- ' r courses by the stars guiding our own ll'lQ OU 1 ways, and trusting to the knowledge wef had gained on the four wonderful voyages o t e S. S. Class of '46, of a job well done. Smoothing the way for us were Captain Robert de Groot, First Mate Her- man Hering, Keeper o'f the Log Lois Gaedcke, Purser John Dunlop. Representatives to the ship's advisory council were Helen Kleinhans, Marion Beyer, Belle Notkin, and John Culler- ton. On hand tocast oil on the troubled waters were Miss Geehr and Mr. Williams, our advisers, who kept a steady hand on the helm when the Egoing was rough. Q Hardly was the ship under way, her engines fpulsing and her crew eagerly anticipating the ,days a-head, than our first proiect was under- itaken . . . a ship's publication which was to be the record of our activities and the culmination of our adventures on the high seas. Editors were Belle Notkin and Jean Forrest, with Frank Sullivan heading the business staff and John Dunlop in charge df photography. Many mem- lbers of the ship's company were still hard at iwork on this production when a three-act com- Hedy, Come Rain or Shine, went into rehearsal for presentation on Friday, December 'l. The lplay is predicted to be a brilliant success. i But while these forthcoming events were still ein the embryo stage, we were busy sounding lthe praises of the undefeated, untied l945 ifootball team, and feting its members, Captain iHerman Hering, Joe Rafalowski, high scorer iDon Brown, Fred Klett, Rocco Colucci, Tec EWieber, Jim McKay, Don Langstaff, John Ar- ,.....-

ln the Photo-Feature of the magazine this week are pictures of two dinners given re- cently. The first, the American Medical Association Dinner, was given in honor of Dr. John Mueller, discoverer of a cure for infantile paralysis. Others who atended the dinner were Dr. Mueller's assistant, Lois Gaedcke, and his staff which includes Doctors Audrey Singer and Jean Forrest, nurses Joan Seelman, Helen Hamilton, Doris Krouse, Evelyn Max- well, and Jane Tumblety and his staff of research chemists headed by,Joseph Stefanic and including Vera Rita, Rocco Colucci, Ted Solota roff, Bill Robbins, Frank McKinney, and Charles Shields.

Prominent among the laymen who attended were Richard Cavanaugh, big business tycoon and his secretary Jean Connallon, Major George Gregson, Lieutenant Robert Oldehoff, U. S. Army, supply officer Robert Volpe and Lieutenant Commander George Cos- ta, U. S. Navy, Donald Madden, executive president of the American Red Cross, Guenther Bongard, United States chess champion, Wal ter Millett, author of You and Your Muscles , John Anderson, Democratic candidate for senator in the next election, Walter Lorcheim, honorary Vice-President of the Future Farmers of America, George Mazzio, eminent journal- ist, and Henry Nobbs, owner and director of the Nobbs Secretarial Service. Some of the girls employed by the service are Helen Delicato, Dolores Kraft, Charlene McQuaid, Mildred Rader, Mary Cumming, Mary Ellen Parenteau, Doris Pedersen, and Florence Shugrue. The other dinner which is pictured in Flash was that held under the combined aus- pices of various engineers', technicians' and mechanics' associations. All the specialized types of engineering were represented. Some of the electrical engineers were Bob Wenk, John Artuso, Bob Anderson, and Jack Reid. Mechanical engineers were Ralph Phillips, Bill Miller, Teddie Weiber, Jim McKay, Alfred Ryczko and Bob Towey. Among those who rep- resented aeronautical engineering were Harry Romano, Harry Shepard, Ed Wales, Joe Sparl- ing and 'Frank Sullivan. Among the other guests were Ed Gardner, Hannibal Venturo, Bob Valdes, Ed Runkel, Tony Vivienzio, Tommie Meade, Ed Ryan, and Andy Fortunato, all experts in the field of mechanics. Featured speaker was Raymond De Mers, supervisor of radio technicians at WJZ. There's an article by Doris Altz, who writes on What Every Good Housewife Should Know . And what's this ad? Well, for goodness sakes, if it isn't the famous Bretthauer Beauty Salon advertising the fact that their specia-I facial soap is endorsed by LaVerne Brown, head of the state Public Nursing Service. There's an article about the National Teachers' Convention which was held in Atlan- tic City last week. Adeline Moore and George Flint were both speakers. And at the same time Doris Cushmeyer spoke to the P. T. A. group on the part recreation plays in the train- ing of the youth of the nation. Well, for heaven's sakesl Catherine Chiumento, Neil Marlowe, Brice Wachterhauser, Eleanor Zoldos, and Edythe Valenti are all listed under an article on new inventions. Cath- erine has devised a new typewriter, Neil an atom-driven torpedo, Brice a combination thresh- ing and processing machine, Eleanor a new calculator, and Edythe a double duty gas range and refrigerator combined. Now as the housewife pays for the magazine, picks up all her bundles and prepares to go, she meets Anne Schafer, Fran Traher, Mabel Wilkins, and Patty Phillips, all of whom are employed in the R. C. B. Building. She continues on her way stopping at the corner to greet Red Langstaff, the policeman on duty there. The light changes, she crosses the street and, amid the noise and hurry of traffic, is soon lost in the crowds of passers-by-one more of the great class of '46. 43
