The Class Prophecy Kay Donohue - Elizabeth Jensen - Eileen Williams The GREAT WAR is over at last -— the civil-ian leaders of the German Third Reich overthrew the militarists and formed a representative form of government which was recognised by the Four Great Powers. Tojo t x k his own life as bombs began to fall on Tokyo, and the combined onslaughts of the Allied armies, strengthened by the revived Chinese forces, quickly brought the haughty Japs to their knees. Graduates of NYSM have fought on every battle front and served in auxiliary forces throughout the world and as a consummation of our prophecy of the Class ol 1944 we turn your attention to the following let' ter, written on shipboard, as the writer, returning from service overseas during and following the war, cables her friend here in the States.

Franny Kratky hasn't let us down either. She and Lt. Marx arc living close to his home port. Speaking of marriages, Marine Sgt. Raymond Hilgas whom I met recently, showed me the picture of his bride, Margaret Reddy. I heard from Jane Misura, who is demonstrating for Pillsbury Flour Company, that Irene Row-icki had been promoted to Department Head in Calisthenics, Women's Marine Corps at, Camp La
