We visit- ed Loretta Nlemier, expert hat designer in her Millinery Shop. A glance through the San Fran- cisco Herald revealed Patricia Zyto’n name as editor of the Society Page. At a naval base in San Diego, we saw Gerry Prentkowskl looking very fine and neat in her Wave uniform. In Washington we visited the Hopkins Memo- rial Hospital where we were greeted by the re- ceptionist Eleanor Myszke. She informed us that Dr. Lorraine Hoffman was performing a major brain operation with the excellent as- sistance of her nurse Rita Buziak. As we walk- ed through the corridors of the hospital we glanced through an open door to see Dolores Wyremblewski hard at work in the Chemistry Lab. A pass from Joan I)e Muytft, secretary to our President Daniel Mlrocha, enabled us to view the many famous rooms of the White House. On our way back we landed in Detroit, Michi- gan. There we saw the beautiful and lavish Ford Plant where President Leonard Klosinski was testing atomic power to be put into cars. Well, we would be very dull girls if we had all work and no play, so we took time out for re- creation and went to a near-by theater. We purchased our tickets from cashier, Vivian Bur- dick, just as usherette, Justine Luzny came out to remind us that there would be a thirty min- ute wait for all seats. we were amazed to see Pat Moritz, his wife and his ten children appear on the stage in acroba- tic tights about to perform one of their daring aerial acts. They tour to the cities and towns Seated comfortably waiting for the next act under the title of “The Flying Irish.” After the theater party, our pilot flew us to Wisconsin, to Norman Perry, one of the most successful produrers of dairy products. Not far from the dairy farm we found Norma Jean Kniszynski an expert beautician who could make the impossible, possible. Some of our class proved successful in our home town also. Margie Soleta and Joan Chrza- nowski are now co-owners of the S. S. Kresge Co. Betty Rybackl has been as lucky as ever. She is proprietress of her own bakery. Rita Wegner is happily married and settled down with a fine family. A top-notch comedienne is Martha Sobolewski, who has just begun an en- gagement at the “Club Normandy.” We recent- ly waved goodbye to Mary Ann Was who has left for overseas duty as a Red Cross nurse. Dolores Pejza a secretary, has proved to her father that she has skill in politics. In fact it was her influence that enabled Bemle Andrze- jewskJ to secure his unique position as city dog- catcher. Ho is now running wildly about town industriously chasing every stray dog in our city.

Class Prophecy New York. N.Y. May 29. 1959 To the Faculty: As we promised the faculty of South Bend Catholic to inform them how the Senior class of ’49 would be progressing in the world, ten years after graduation, we thought this an appropriate time to report the information we fell upon while we traveled around the world. As world correspondents for Life Magazine, we had to travel to many foreign places to gather news. On one of these assignments, we had to cross the Atlantic ocean to London where the fine and eloquent speeches of Eugene C'hniiel, guest speaker at the United Nations As- sembly. were the talk of the town. Allowed only a short visit in London, we soon boarded a plane piloted by Jerome Podemski, brave ex-airforce pilot, who only recently re- ceived a citation from the President for his mar- velous and daring escapades. We received spe- cial attention from the pert and petite stewar- dess Rose Marie Golubski, who did everything possible to make our flight from London to Paris enjoyable. At the Paris airport our luggage was taken care of efficiently by Bob Kuniinecz, a porter, who told us that was the way he kept in con- dition between the football seasons of the Chica- go Bears. We hailed a taxi driven by Lucille Was, who still had a hard time getting used to the change from the “Buick. Our first stop was the Paris Art Academy. As we entered, we were greeted by Ted Chwalek who was head instructor. Ted took us through the building and led us to his most promising student, Bernle Czyzewskl, who w as sketching a pair of tall exotic models, Rita Antkoskl and Inauretta Urbanskl. As we passed through the spotless corridors our eyes fell upon a huddled object on her knees energeticaly scrubbing a- way the time of day, chief-janitress Jacquelyn Slott. In the musical section of the building we were astonished to see George Aranowski beating his drums, wth sneere hopes to measure up someday to his ideal. Gene Krupa. In an- other corner of the room was Chester Moskwln- skl, a music teacher, who accompanied Irene Dlugosz as she sang an aria from Carmen.” We were startled to see Mary Ann Szaehna ballet dancer performing one of her most difficult numbers from the “The Flight of the Swan. Our next stop was Switzerland where we saw The Swiss Skating Follies which starred Mardeline Kalmar and Frank Chrobot. Loretta Sniadecki, too is successful. She is a skating instructress. We said a swift goodbye to Switzerland and flew to the Belgian Congo where we were greeted by Professor Mary Louise Pickavet who had just returned from an expedition into the deep, mysterious jungle. Leaving the wilds of the Congo we were sur- prised to see a new passenger for the return trip home. Congresswoman, Dolores Klawlnski told us quite a lot about her peace missions in Europe and Africa. At the New York airport we were presented with the key to the city by Mayor Sylvester Wa- lorski. We were then interviewed by Louis» Cudowski editor of Glamour Magazine.” Just off Times Square we found a new branch of the “Ford Hopkins drugstore under the manage- ment of Marie Dlugosz. Chief soda jerk Nancy Rogowski treated us to a super-colossal banana split. We wanted to see New York from the top of the Empire State Building. We were greatly surprised when we found that Mary Ciesielski ran an elevator in the building. On the way down, we stopped on the 62nd floor to visit the law office of prominent prosecuting attorney Elizabeth Trytko. A few days later we heard the news that two of our former classmates. Mary Ann Slusarek and Joan Chrobot were making their movie de- but in Hollywood, California, so we were hastily flown there by our pilot. Our guide on the movie lot was Rita Strychalski who made sure we wouldn’t miss any points of interest. She took us on a tour of the various sets where we found Henrietta Kominkiewlcz attired in a ten gallon hat. plaid shirt and riding breeches, di- recting a possible academy award picture. The Lone Ranger Rides Again.” We were sorry to leave movieland so soon but we had a few more stops to make, among them Savannah Georgia, the great tobaccco state. There we visited the fabulously wealthy Clar- ence Wesolowski, on his tobacco plantation. From Georgia we went to the very old city of Boston. There we visited Theresa Graczyk and Helen Stankiewicz, co-owners of the Bel-Aire- Hotel” where we saw Mike Rafalski, captain of the bell- boys, dressed in a bright red uniform. Next we toured the New Era Potatoe-Chip Com- pany, with President Emllie Adamski as our guide. Last but not least we went to see Myra K. at the Kochanowski Sausage Shop, where she treated us to a generous helping of Polish Kiszka”. Westward bound our plane had to make a forced landing in Arizona on acount of hazar- dous weather. Though we were there only a short while, we had time to visit Robert Kamin- ski, prominent businessman in that state. His beautiful mansion overlooked stables of the finest breeds of horses in the world. Resuming our journey we landed in San Fran- cisco, California, where we visited one of the
