Class Prophecy From the office of the Editor NEW YORK HERALD February 21, 1975 “A Lesson Well Learned,” written and produced by Jean Sullivan, opened on Broadway last night. The superb acting of Geraldine Guertin combined with the facetiousness of Rose Kaletski assure the new play of a long stay in the big city. The story revolves about an unknowingly witty school teacher whose greatest lesson was learned by a cold-hearted Socialite who never knew the meaning of the word “fun.” The supporting cast added greatly to the success of opening night. Costumes designed by Norma Gardner were, as usual, gorgeous. Broadway’s Number 1 Gown Designer certainly deserves the title. Our Did You Know Dept: that Sylvia Badrigian is as popular as ever at the Latin Quarter; her imitations are the “talk of the town” . . . that Patricia Hehir was in town celebrating her 25th Wedding Anniversary with her husband . . . that Mary Lou Lenk and Jean Perkins were seen chaperoning the “after-the-game” dance of Yale and Brown Universities. I met Doris Katz today. Yes, New York’s best dressed woman continues to set the pace for style. Mary Murphy’s new column, “Culinary Accomplishments” is delightful. Catherine Hogan is enjoying her tenth year as organist at Saint Patrick’s Cathe- dral. While we are on the subject of music, Katherine Govin’s “Northboro Rhap- sody” has just hit the sidewalks of New York. Kay’s former schoolmate, Virginia Dillon, flew in from Hollywood where her “Continental Aircraft” is producing a plane a minute. Baseball Fans: Alfred Barrios’ son, Kenny, has been elected captain of the Worcester State Teachers Nine. The Queen Mary docked this week with two celebrities: Eileen Bouvier has returned from the Riviera and Mary Walsh is back from her position as Super- intendent of Schools in Frankfort, Germany. This month’s cover of “Glimpse Magazine” is adorned with the lovely hands of Marjorie Carroll. Within the cover is a “scoop” that tells of Madeline Dalton’s accepting the honor of head scientist at Marlboro University. Dorothy Dunn has been named America’s Number 1 Woman in Education and Clara Saunders’ poem “Friendship” has received the Critics Award. Do you remember Frances Sweeney? Franny’s recipe for home-made bread appeared in “Kitchen Kuties.” George Laird is writing articles on “How to Win Friends and Influential People.” Shirley Libman’s paintings were shown at the Art Museum last week. M ary Londergan has started a tea room at Times Square. The University of Montreal has acquired Louise Sella for its French Department. Latin still seems to be the source of gray hair to students, so Mary Osborne has written a workbook entitled “Latin Lullabies.” Barbara Looney’s press, “The Voice of the People,” published the text. Edna Sansoucie was seen dining with the French Ambassador at the Waldorf . . . Astoria, that is! Richard Boulay has opened a men’s shop on Fifth Avenue. It features ties and pipes. 1’he west coast will be seeing Helen Adamowicz soon. She has gone out to visit college friends. So you have it, New York another report of the “doings and data” of your stars and friends. We remain, as ever — Journalistically yours, Mary Carroll

ress Today terminates four of the happiest years we will live in this wonderful world. The happiness found in this educational institution as we have looked for knowledge is not terminated, however, because we have developed along with this knowledge lifelong friendships that will keep these years young and happy by the many memories we have safely stored away. As we stand before you today, certainly changed from the shy Freshman who entered our beloved S. T. C. four years ago, we are the product of four years of training under the excellent guardianship of the faculty. To you, Faculty, we cannot express the appreciation and gratitude we have for you. Perhaps your thanks has been in the growth and great strides we have taken before your eyes. Certainly, it seems to us that we have grown into far wiser, more tolerant, and better men and women. We are the outcome of your training. We feel on this day that we have a sound philosophy that will stand by us in the face of any problem. We know it is difficult to live in this world, but we still say it is a world full of hope, love, and faith. Never could we stand here today without the support and sympathetic understanding of our parents. We are fully aware of their sacrifices; we know that no person reaches graduation without help of many kinds. We are grateful to our friends for encouragement, and to all those who have given us inspiration we say, thank you. We feel that this debt can be repaid only by service to others. This then, be our goal . . . service free and gladly given. If we can impar t to others the secret of happiness, sharing, living together without friction, contentment, and the satisfaction of doing tasks well, we shall have repaid our debt. This ivy holds the secret of life. We too, as a class, hold the secret in our hearts today. As we plant the ivy, we promise that through us others shall share in the joy of happy living. Norma Gardner
