She was very proud of her suite in the new building. It pleased her too, when we told her about all the girls and their positions. There was only one,-Anna De Laurente, whom we had not chanced to meet, but Mother was able to give us some information. Anna held a good position as a dictaphone operator for five years, and then had become Mrs.-. She is now living in a comfortable little home in Gary, Indiana. We were anxious to have news about our friend, Miss Stewart, and Mother told us that she no longer paid her much appreciated visits to our old school, but was holding a very prominent position in New York. We took her address, intending to arrange our time to call on her on our return to the home office next week. This would compensate but a little for her many visits to our class during our last school year. VVe left S. L. A. at four and spent the following day visiting our friends. Mon- day morning found us on the train for New York. We felt We had done splendid work for our firm during this business trip, but we appreciated as much, if not more, meeting all the graduates of '26.

After completing our work here, we could not leave without inquiring about an old fellow student, Eleanor Zuiker, who had entered the Milwaukee Convent in I925. We were received at St. Francis, Convent by the Reverend Mother Superior who informed us that Sister Mary Joseph fElenor Zuikerl was now stationed in Boston and was doing wonderful work in the Commercial Department there. We told Mother Superior we were pupils from St. Louis Academy, and immediately she went for her first assistant. To our great astonishment we found this dignified religious to be Margaret Kolosh, the most peaceful member of the class of '26. Rose Skupinski and Pauline Genis, were also in God's service, dressed in the garb of Sisters of St. Francis. We hardly recognized the former, for she was no more the quiet and shy Rose we had known at S. L. A. She was now teaching a class of 50 first graders and seemed very happy with her darling little tots as she called them. Pauline has the role of Sacristan. We doubted her identity also, for the round shoulders had disappeared and we now witnessed a tall, graceful religious under the name of Sr. Mary of Sion. How thoughtful it was of Pauline to choose our teacher's name!! May she resemble her in more than name! Business was soon transacted in the Capital of Wisconsin, and we turned to- wards the sunny land of California. We had seen and heard enough during our last few days to supply topics of conversation during our long journey. Our next stop was San Francisco. A large poster in the window of our hotel informed us that a famous exhibition was going on. We managed to steal a few minutes to visit it. On arriving we noticed all the people grouped around one particular picture which had been selected as the Masterpiece of the year. The artist entered, and all eyes were turned towards the door. As Dorothy Jagmin stepped in, we rushed to her with our hearty congratulations. Although she was a slender, graceful figure now, she still wore that well-known smile. She was just as good- natured as in the days of yore. We expected Dorothy would turn out to be a wonderful artist for she had often surprised us in school with her celver designs and sketches. On our way back to the hotel we bought a newspaper and turning to the society column we saw the picture of Marie Kopf smiling up at us. Her engagement to the Duke of Blankshire was the event of the social season. The wedding was to take place the following day. We arranged our plans so as to be present for this occasion. It was a gorgeous affair and after the ceremony we managed to have a few words with the bride. When we spoke to her, her face lighted up with smiles for her happiness was unbounded. And whom do you think attended as her bride's maid? Marie's friend and classmate, Delphine Cimoli. We spoke to her too, and found out she had not changed in the least, she still possessed that gay, cheerful disposition of her school days. The day was doubly memorable for Dolly , for her engagement was announced at the Wedding Breakfast and soon she too would be a smiling bride. Our business finished, We left for Chicago. On arriving home, I found several letters awaiting me. My attention was drawn to an envelope on which the hand- writing seemed familiar. On opening it I found the missive was written by one of my old classmates, Genevieve Beemsterboer. It was an invitation to a Literary Entertainment given by her pupils of Cleveland High School. After taking a few days' rest, we decided to visit our beloved school and teacher. Being Saturday, Mother had a' few leisure hours and this gave us an opportunity of having a pleasant chat with her. We were indeed surprised to see that another attractive building hadbeen added to our Alma Mater. There were now two teachers for the Commercial Class, for the number of pupils had more than doubled since IQ26Q instead of 34, the class now consisted of 75 students. Mother St. Mary of Sion is still the head of the Commercial Department, and we found her 39 0 d ft1fU5'iZ-2.':-'Lit 'IllIlillllillllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIllllllllIllIllllllllIIIlllllIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIlllllllllIllIlllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIllIIIIIllllllIIIIIIIEIIIIEIIIIIU f .lzJN. .f 'f-GLF-:D
