RAMONA GIBBONS HAYES
Ramona Gibbons Hayes, Chicago, pretty, petite and a recent University of Chicago graduate, has the distinction of being the youngest steamship agent in the world. Although out of school but little more than a year, she has organized a successful travel service in her own name.
By specializing in “tourist third class,” she has made it possible for hundreds of students and other tourists of limited means to see Europe.
She organizes groups of American students and teachers to travel in place of the Europeans who, before the immigration restrictions, monopolized the third class. Miss Hayes has further expressed her originality in her work by becoming the only Catholic Woman Pilgrimage Leader, organizing groups to tour Rome during the Holy Year.
