CLASS PROPHECY Here is a facsimile of the Alumni Column of the 1970 edition of the Crimson and Gray. Because the vocations of the Class of 1950 have influenced our lives, we, the Class of 1970, show our gratitude to the Class of 1950 by dedicat- ing this space to a summary of their present positions.

Mary Colognesi, distinguished pianist, will make her first national broadcast in this country when she will play with the New York Phil- harmonic Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Dexter Clifford. Lipstick and slipsticks have presented a problem to John Toscano. Because he has a pompous professorship, John resents the tomfoolery resulting from the confusion of sliding rules and sliding tubes.

As a decoy Arthur Coderre loiters at the post and entices customers by ostensibly displaying his beaming countenance. Bill Martin is in charge of an intricate espionage network. All strongarm tactics are handled by Grandone. George Perikli has gained much fame as an end for the University of Notre Dame.
