 CLASS PROPHECY Station JOY presents the highlights in the Tremont Community Class of 39 as seen by Marianne Bolliger, Commentator on World Affairs. Y e now present Miss Bolliger. Hello folks, well, here I am once more speaking to you from Station JOY after an extended tour to the East Coast. I shall summarize briefly to you the many famous and interesting people with whom I came in contact. One morning upon alighting from the tram at New York, I was surprised to find Franklin Gunion, Star Reporter, for New York Herald, interviewing the various passengers. I gave him a few interesting inoidents for his paper and called a taxi to take me to my hotel. That taxi driver looked very familiar to me, and after a few minutes of hesitation, I discovered him to be no one else but Don Morris. On my way, X, also, passed the large dance studio of Jeanne Lambert. As I remember Jeanne back in old T. C. H. S., she was always dancing. It seemed quite natural for her to be doing this type of work. In a short while, I arrived at Waldorf-Astoria and met Mr. Lester Merle May (Bill, as I knew him) seated at the register desk. While registering I chatted with him a few minutes then went to my room, I was there only a few minutes when, Mis3 Mabelle Storrer, poet and journalist for Cospolitan arrived for an interview. After Mabelle left. Miss Irno Adcox, Social Secretary to the Mrs, J. A. Vanderbilt telephoned, inviting me to dine with them that evening. As perhaps you know, Mrs. Vanderbilt, was formerly Miss Borothy Getz of Tremont.
