Class Prophecy . . . St. Joseph Centennial Celebration, 1973 lt is the year 1973, the year of the Centennial celebration of St. joseph parish. Parishioners and alumni have come from all parts of the country to renew old acquaintances and revisit the places of their youth. Twenty-four years have passed since our teen-age class of '49 left the halls of St. joseph and followed their various vocations. For them the Cen- tennial is also a kind of reunion. Let us stroll about the parish grounds and see if we can locate all the alumni of this class. Oh, I see Mr. William Yale is here to partake in the festivities. After getting his start at the Home Dairy, he recently acquired the position of Chief Cook at the Waldorf-Astoria. That man of great distinction, Mr. Manuel Hidalgo, is also on hand. Over night he became the chief executive of the Malleable. He is now thinking of retiring after having earned his first million for the fifth time. The president of the Electricians' Association, Rnrrell Bortufick, and his wife, the former Superintend- ent of Nurses, Swan Kltrhion, have just flown in from Florida. Sitting up with the rest of the clergy are Father Alphonse Verduzco, C.j.S. and Father James Conley. Father Conley has turned traitor and is now pastor of St. Matthew's Church, Zilwaukee. Speaking to Leonard Boenrch, the owner of a magni- ficent tobacco plantation in Virginia, we find his old cronies George Hagen and Joreph Wade. Joseph has recently started his own Poultry Store while George now owns half of the lndiantown area. That eccentric portrait painter, Leo Casarez, can be seen sitting with the attractive matinee idol, John Neuerhurg. John got his start playing opposite Judy Canova. It is indeed a great occasion for Beatrice Vargar and Either Silva who have put aside their research work on their new scientific discovery, l-low to Boil Water With- out Burning lt, so they would be able to attend this celebration. In a far corner, Frances Perez of Fifth Avenue is most likely describing some of her new dress de- signs to Carolyn Rocha and Beatrice Martinez, joint owners of the swanky Petite Dress Shoppeef' Coming down the aisle proudly displaying his gold braid is Admiral William O'Brien with the grocery 20 tycoon Nicholas' Vercio who has just scored again by adding another store to his now famous chain. Bill is home from Annapolis for a few days. just arrived from Wahjemega is Rose Nowaczyle. No, she does not sta there. She is an eminent n n y n n u u psychiatrist and has won wide recognition in that field. John Parrariello, head coach at Notre Dame, says that next year they will not lose a game with Thomas Laun- draff son playing center, land with Johnny's brainsl. They are reminiscing with Jamey Nowaczyk, former star on the Saginaw Bears team. James is giving his pitching arm a well deserved rest. The city's most popular mortician, Edward fDiggerJ Seman just stepped into the refreshment booth accompanied by the noted reporter of the New York Times, Patrick McDonnell. Looking further we came in contact with the new singing sensation, Josephine Ogniranti, who is being featured this week at the Metropolitan Opera with the rhythmic music of Paul Pasternak and his Death Valley Boys'. The first woman Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Josephine Escalera, is seen chatting with Patricia Federico, Dolores Soltyziak, and Joyce Pickelmann who are following in the footsteps of Florence Nightingale. Olympia Sarian, now assistant at St. Mary's Labora- tory is asking Joan and Carmen Hojman all about their homes and families. They just managed to tear them- selves away from their peaceful homelife to attend the Centennial. Number pullease! Oh, it is Mary Naples and Theresa Cierzlak describing their interesting work as telephone operators to Rebecca Villarreal and Mary Dela Cruz who are contented working as secretaries at the City Hall. Going somewhere? Call a Douglas uninsured cab. That is just what Hazen McDonnell and Anthony Katha are saying. They have gone into partnership and with Anthony managing the finances and Hazen's driving ability, they can not miss. Now as the lights grow dimmer, good-byes are said, and plans are made to meet at the next Parish Celebration, the Class of 1949 strolls away contented that the world is changed.
