Uhr 1Hnirr Class Prophecy Finding ourselves in comfortable circum- stances Thomas Funk and I, Francis Canders, decided to see the United States. We left our home town, Syracuse, for New York and lived at the Hotel Pennsylvania while there. Try to imagine our surprise when we sat down to dine that evening and saw our old schoolmates, Irene Smiarowski, Lottie Pikul, and May Champlain among the guests. They were, they told me, dancing teachers in Arthur Murray's School of Dancing. Just then the waiter came to take our order and who was it but the debonair Thomas Pidgeon. During dinner we listened to strains of soft music and gazing at the orchestra our at- tention was attracted by the slim, graceful conductor. Toour surprise it was none other than our beloved John Jazulin now going by the name of Jazzy Jazi'. We noticed the blonde trumpet player and when we asked Thomas Pidgeon who it was he said, Don't you remember Robert Allen ? En route to Chicago, we stopped at Sche- nectady. As we were driving down State Street we saw a natty Hispano Suiza parked by the curb and in it were the three muslzet- eers: Miss Reed,'Achsah Potter, and Ann Duzynski. We pulled over to the curb and in chatting with them found that Miss Reed was in charge of gym work at the new Voca- tional High School. Achsah is secretary to the principal of the same school, some say she tells him how to run the organization. Our shy, little Ann is now an heiress, her uncle having died and left her a cool million. Ann told us that Albert Kulson owned a large truck farm on the Albany Road and that the Schenectady Tribune fowned by Charles Lindsteacl and Joe Gaworeckib had financed a trip to Mars as a publicity stunt. Well, here's wishing you luck boys! We stayed in Schenectady for a week and then hopped a plane for Chicago. Arriving in Chicago we called a taxi and on its door was painted Joe Grubar Taxi Co. It might not have been the Joe I knew but then no other person would have his taxis painted a bright red. After getting lo- cated we donned full dress and started off to The Old Tea Shoppe . Among the guests were Richard Lohman and Angline Castaldi. They were overjoyed at seeing us. Richard informed us th.-at he was an architect for the American Construction Company and with a sly grin informed us that Miss Castaldi was his secretary. Howard Seim we learned was the owner of the company. Here's where Raymon McCasland enters the picture as the consulting electrical engineer of the same company. The following day we went to the Chicago Times building to visit an old friend and while there we learned that John Palmer, Roy Van Patten, and Al- bert Rossetti were employed there as print- ers. I picked up a paper just off the press and the headlines glared out at me Garmin Baker Hailed as Second Edison, Perfects Television. Leaving the building we boarded a rather crswded bus and we nearly sat in the lap of Caroline Yannone, with her was Ann Sproul, they were on their way to their tea room. During the conversation that ensued we learned that Ruth Railsback and Mary Genre were steady customers' at the tea room and ihit both were employed as stenographers in an important broker's office. We left Chicago the next day and caught a train for Louisville, Kentucky. While on the train we met Ernest Bailey who invited us to stay a week at-his Louisville tobacco plantation. Cf course we accepted. While in Louisville we met Robert Nickels and Steve Paypach who were owners of a machine shop there. The Hnest in the state, Steve said. Leaving Louisville we flew to New Orleans, the city of Mardi Gras. We arrived there late Saturday and established ourselves at the city's Hnest hotel. The next day we rentfd a car and set out to see the town. We met FlorenceiCollins, Margaretta Keeler, and Felfcia Kelakowska and learned that they were stenographers for the New Orleans
