CLASS PROPHECY Chicago, Illinois April 15, 1947 Mr. Anthony Kuharich St. Iledwige High School South Bend, Indiana Dear Mr. Kuha1'ich: I was indeed very happy to assist you in carrying out your plan to have the Class of 1937 hold their annual reunion during this year's commencement ex- ercises at our Alma Mater. As you already know, Sophie Rakowska and I are living together in a beautiful apartment on Lake Shore Drive. She is a reporter for the Polish National Daily, and judging fro-m the pretty clothes she wears, she must receive a good salary. I still manage to get enough news to fill the society sec- tion of the Chicago City News and receive enough in return to live in fair comfort. After I received your letter requesting that I con- tact my classmates, Sophie and I demanded of our respective employers that we get a two-week vaca- tion during the first part of this month. We were granted this privilege and spent our time traveling and searching for the members of the class of 1937. We had a very interesting time visiting ou1' former classmates, who were quite enthusiastic about the reunion, promising to be on hand to make the occa- sion a complete success. Before leaving Chicago we spent an evening at the College Inn Cafe, where we met Bill Dominiak, who is now playing the saxophone for Benny Goodman and his Orchestra. Bill is certainly doing quite well for himself. After leaving the Windy City we stopped off at Urbana, Illinois to find Stella Cudow- ska. She is the proprietress of a Bakery Shoppe a- cross the street from one of the dormitories of the University of Illinois. Estimating from the amount of students there were in her store, she must have a very good business. She promised us that she would make a large cake for our class party. Stopping at St. Louis, we saw Leonard Bojarski inspecting a million dollar subway project, which his construction company has just completed. At Den- ver, Colorado, we came in contact with John Bucz- kowski, who had left his Philadelphia law office to defend a person charged with attempted robbery of the United States Mint. In the same town we met Mary Kielton, who is in charge of ten beauty salons. She said that the bookkeeping course she took in her senior year helped her to get a promotion from beau- ty operator to lady in charge of all the parlors. At Salt Lake City, we made a brief stop to get in touch with Dorothy Hosinska, who is singing for Page Twenty-Two Jan Garber and his orchestra, now playing at the Black Hawk Gardens. Dorothy said that she would have Jan and the boys on hand to play during our party. From there we went to Seattle, Washington, where we visited Robert Pinkowski, who is a federal revenue officer, watching for smugglers from Can- ada. He is doing very well and is taking a sincere interest in his work. Gertrude Witkowska, who is a Iiorist, we met in San Francisco. Her store is located in a very influ- ential district and the people are very fond of her flowers. Here we also witnessed a Championship wrestling match in which our own John Wieczorek defeated Dan O'Mahoney for the title. Johnny. is going to put on an exhibition match at our reunion. We visited Mary Rogers and Helen Pilarska in Hollywood. Both are working at the Paramount stu- dios. Mary designs all the clothes for the actresses in movie productions, while Helen is teaching tap dancing to the cho1'us girls. They seem to have the last word about fashions and dancing in California. We also met Al Guzfcki, who is in charge of a per- sonality school where boys and girls are enrolled in preparation for careers as actors and actresses. Al tells us that some of his pupils will be in the Big Broadcast of 1947.7 At Los Angeles we contacted Ray Marnocha who is head football coach at California Tech. He was directing spring practice and predicted a good season for his team. About fifteen miles from Los Angeles, we spent a few hours with Julia Sokoloska, who owns a ten thousand ac1'e orange grove. She lives in a magnificent mansion and has two hundred men working for he1'. Our t1'avels continued to Tucson, Arizona, whe1'e we met Charlotte Sudol, who is in charge of a very large sanitarium. Her patients are pleased with her sympathetic care. From here we boarded a transcontinental plane on which Dorothy Sroda is stewardess. She drid everything possible to make our fiight to New Yo1'k a very pleasant journey. We went to the Empire State Building, where we met Lottie Dworecka, a telephone operator. At the WABC studios we con- tacted Richard Minczewski, a radio news commen- tator. The public is favorably inclined toward his opinions on the problems confronting the world. On Broadway and Forty-Second Street Dorothy Pie- chorowska has charge of a Madame F1'ancis Shoppe. She furnishes all the influential women of New York with the latest in women's apparel. Our next point of interest was in Philadelphia whe1'e we saw Billy Hosinski, who is editor of Esquire. This magazine has made magnificent progress under his leadership. There we also visited Ray Dembinski, who is president of the University of Philadelphia. Ccontinued on page 231 'lHE VICTORIAN
