Cadets Needed

Aviation Companies as well as other industrious corporations sent advertisements geared toward young women to join the work force while “their men where overseas.”  Mother Mary Cleophas (President) was approached by the Curtis Wright Corporation in New Jersey to encourage Rosemont students interested in Engineering to work for college experience in the factories, producing airplane equipment for the war effort.  Women, or Cadets as they were soon called, received free room and board plus a salary of $10 a week. It is not known if any Rosemont students joined the Curtis-Wright Corporation but many college age women in the local PA area went to work in such factories.
