l I 0 he Atomic Era lls UPON Us! T SEEMS ' t a ver short time ago that we were Pfacticlng for the graduation Ceremonies bask U5 Y . . at good olil S E A., and now here we are already, grown up to live in the age of wonders. And speak- ' f d rg dont ou often think about what ever became of the old gang, and what happened to ingowone, y I ' n? d Ad , the girl who used to sit first row, third from the rear in senior English. I know I o. n thats why I like my job so much. You see, as editor here at the central office of the World Daily News, my desk is always full of little news items, and from them I have managed to glean a surprising amount of information on the latest comings and goings of the girls of the class of 43- And the H1051 21IT12lZ1I1g thing of all is the way all these new scientific wonders have tied in with the things they have chosen as their walks in life. For instance, I hear that Gwen Kline and Kay Mittino have opened a summer camp for high rides in atom-powered kiddie cars. Dot Kluck is model- school students, and are giving them daily the pictures for the latest Florida travel folders-you know, ing for those photographers who are taking the ones that advertise radio-active beaches with all the facilities for giving you a radium tan. And speaking of beaches, Pat Podmaka is doing very well as a lifeguard. It seems that what with the latest in life-saving equipment, all she has to do when someone yells, Help! is locate them on her little Radar Juniorn set and send a rubber robot after them. Mary Stein, Mary Therese Hendel, and Margaret Fietz have organized a trio and call themselves the Gamma Ray Girls. They are very popular with the radio audiences, taking care of all the singing commercials for that well known American Atomized Apple Sauce Company. And along with the other releases from the broadcasting studios I found some other interesting news about my former classmates. Mary Ann Grothaus and Kathleen Tines are teaching via radio a course intended to give housewives the necessary information on how to cook delicious, just-like-Mother-used-to-make meals on those new urani- um stoves, and Lois Knobbe and Mary Harlin have been unanimously chosen as the best authorities on sewing on the latest model Iridium-Plutonium-powered Singers. Fran Binder is demonstrating The Best In Hair-dos over the newly established Television Station formed by Jeanine Fox and Yvonne Baudette. This station has as its aim the sole purpose of showing the nation's housewives the tricks of the trade in trends toward the New Look, which is still flourishing. In the capacity of department heads in What to Wear and Where to Buy It we find Ann Melville and Pat Kane, respectively. Joan Kettenbach is announcing for them and describing the fashions which are modeled by Mary El Hegger, Doris Wirth- ensohn, and Joanne Neudeck. LaVerne Tamm, Pat Ginter, and Gloria Diehl, who always were fiends on chemistry, astounded the scientific world by developing a way of broadcasting these programs in technicolor, and thereby opened up the golden gate of opportunity to Rosemary Brush and Bernadette Scheman, those famous interior decorators, who now have organized a course in Color I-Iarmony in the Home i' which is being aired 7 over the station. And Nancy Banden, who always came up with something new in that particular branch of glamour, is also making good use of the new development for her program entitled Lipstick Shades and How to Make Them Suit Your Personality. In the field of medicine our Elizabethans are excelling, too. Pee Wee Murabito Jeanne Kulessa Pat Hennelly, Irene Peil, and Perl Kommer, those enterprising nurses, have established a Cancer Founda- tion Hospital, and their head Technicians are Betty Kuna and Jeannette Tuerck Jenny Jafema Rosie Fri- ' 3 gerio, and Doris Wolf have been asked to serve on the Social Services Staff, and all I can say is they'll be good ones for it. If anybody could cheer up a hospital ward, they are the ones, Pat Mullaney is in charge of all dental examinations and specifications. Page Twenty-Four

'OH luis! rl. . ,ff R , af: J ,N , 'tif-' Millie Qaf0Z?0, Mari' AHOY Mueller, and Carol McCarthy have opened a publishing house, and their first publications included several books written by girls from their class- How to Translate Vir il With out a Pony, by Verena Ryan and Rosemarie Fassi, The Basic Principle of the Care of a Hime and Family, by Evelyn Evers, and two athletically inclined treatises, The Successful Bowler, by Frances Hanebrink and Patsy Schomaker, and The Scientific Side of a Ping-Pong Game on which Joan Kluba and Audrey Enghauser collaborated. And I hear that most of the work on these books was handled by Myrle Bippen and Doris Korte, who are the mainstays of Alice Stockmann's Professional Secretarial Service. Joanne Jockenhoefer is still studying at St. Louis U., and they say she's having a hard time carrying around all those degrees. Mary Kay Jauer has just received news of her appointment to take charge of all the student courses given by the Red Cross in Nutrition and Home Nursing. P Q Vera Frankowski, Mary Partsch, Lois Frank, and Mary McCarthy have bought a tract of land in the country and are spending much of their time checking up on the latest in farm implements. Pat Horty is still chugging around in the little old Ford, but she's attached an electro-magnetic engine and stripped down its wind resistance until it'll make 250 m.p.h. And joan Schlieper is still one of her most faithful passengers. Carol Phillips has been designing purses for the past few months-ever since she adopted a new motto, A compartment for everything and ,everything where it belongs. , Jo Lamantia is still being Beth of Little Wom enf' and they tell me that by now she has died some 2,437 times. And perhaps the most futuristic of all the class of '48 is Jackie McVey. You see, she's al- readyregistered her first son in the class of 1975 at Notre Dame. Q But now it's time for me to hop into my little Cosmic Car and dash off to St. Elizabeth's. My Beta- Vision Desk Set has just informed me that the graduation ceremonies for this year are about to take place, and I can't afford to miss them. They always fascinate me, because one of my favorite pastimes is wondering what will become of the sweet girl graduates before too many years have gone by. just note what happened to our class! g Joyce Major '48 Page Twenty-Five Q1 wsu nv- Y .
