,Ioan Schlinhert, prominent historian and author, Margaret Waldron and Eileen 0'Don- nell, of the Embassy Staffs of England and France, respectively, Margaret Glennon, Presi- dent of the Board of Education, Dr. Mary McManuJ of St. Vincent's Hospital, Proferror Curran of Good Counsel College, Ruth Carpenter, distinguished actress of Civic Repe- tory fame, and Mary Milliken, the scholarly Mayor of Yorkville. I turned to the society columns knowing that here, too, I would find some familiar names. Nor was I mistaken, for, from the first item I learned that Mary MeElligott was the charming lady of an English Manor and was living up to her reputation for hospitality by royally entertaining some friends of her high school days. Among her guests were Jeanne Millett, Professor at the Sorbonneg Nora Shannon, Professor of Gaelic at Dublin University, Catherine Galligan, of concert fame, whose lovely voice was charming all Europeg and Marie Rohan, the famous globe trotter, whose travels and adventures put Theodore Roosevelt to shame. I glanced through the radio section on the opposite page and noticed with delight that Vera Cunningham, the noted social service worker, was to deliver an address at seven thirty that evening. As a result of her tireless work in the field of social uplift, for the first time in history every boy in the Tolentine neighborhood now possessed and wore a hat. I turned the pages eagerly looking for some news of interest. My eye was caught by a full length page bearing the striking advertisement, Buy a McKeever Alarm Clock and Sleep Without a Worry. Mothers, the ad continued, your daughter at school will appreciate one of these clocks for Christmas. The owner of a Mary McKeeoer Alarm Clock will never be late for class. Underneath this the smiling face of Lorraine Arden, the famous model, gave charming testimony of their worth. Rita Carey and Marilyn Ryan were listed among the ofiicers of the firm as Manager and Assistant Mana- ger of the Sales Department. As the train stopped at 149th Street I looked up from my paper to see Margaret 0'Connell, a fashionable buyer for a well known Park Avenue shop enter. After the first joyful greetings were over, the conversation naturally turned to what the girls were doing. Margaret, as usual, possessed an inexhautible fund of information. joan Flood, she informed me, had opened up a school for small boys in Long Islandg Genevieve 0'I-lara was the most sought after interpreter at the Spanish Embassy in New Yorkg Angela McCormack and Geraldine Varley, the famous interior decorators, were at present enthusiastically engaged on the oflices in Tolentine's new Academy for Girls. Among the three Olympic winners who returned this morning, for whom a nation wide celebration is planned, is jean Brown, track star, who has broken every existing record. Fordham Road now loomed up before me so I quickly interrupted our conversa- tion to wend our way to street level. Anxious to see every familiar landmark we walked the few blocks to the school. Many new faces passed us by, the neighborhood had under- gone many changes. Would Tolentine have changes too? No, there stood the Church, more cathedral-like in appearance than ever. It would be wonderful to return there shortly for were we not to bring to a close this grand reunion with Solemn Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament in the Church so dear to all of us. Quickly then, we hurried to school. As we entered, Kathleen Tohin and Margaret Maloney came forward to greet us. We chatted for a few moments and in the course of our conversation we learned that Kathleen is now. 'teaching English at Manhattanville Collegeg Margaret has undertaken the responsibility for a private kindergarten in the parish, thus relieving many anxious mothers of their charges long enough each day to enable them to get their shopping finished. Kathleen then volunteered the information that Ann Baxter and Eileen Coyle had opened a sweet shop only a few blocks away. The success and popularity of the Shop can be attested to by any young man of the neighbor- hood! Mary McGree1fey, coming over to meet us, has all the dignity and assurance proper to the State Superintendent of Banks. Since her appointment New York has not had a single bank failure or fraud. The hall was rapidly filling . Great excitement prevailed as groups who had not seen each other for years gathered to exchange greetings. Ah, the last has now arrived in the person of Katherine Sweeney, Art Editor for Fortune Magazine, who has just re- turned from a tour of Europe. I hasten now to arrange this group for their picture, which will appear in the leading newspapers across the country tomorrow. As I leave I am grateful for the chance to have renewed my friendship with them and to have visited Tolentine with them once more.
