HOWE HIGH YEARBOOK Let us fly now in our imagination to the Gay White Way. Our plane taxis to a stop before a brilliantly X . N X X ' l ' i ' f ' X illuminated club where everyone N 30-wowooooowooooo-f00000003 f seems to be going. The name The -g -1,0-3 see' 3'-n3g0'7,f2,o2 80-,g 3og 3 - Dry-Den is proclaimed to all the ' ' ggi? 2 3511 owing? 201,33 .

Let us l l enter unseen by any one of this W Q 'fri multitude of opening night guests. 1 , There is the fastidiously groomed . TONIGHT proprietor, Raleigh Dryden, greeting . CWUE T anew his many friends and former Allawi? patrons of his old establishment on U ll Drury Street, graduates of Howe Q OR, N ' High School, class of 1945, in W Billerica. The festivities are directed very fl W capably by the debonair master -of - l l , HOHGHT ceremonies, Squawlc David. , ' l.

And there is the girl with the cutest pair of dimples in town, the queen of the Dilnples' Club, Louise Glennon. Suddenly our attention is directed toward the stage as the curtain rises on the Spotlight Band of the Week with its rendition of Drum Boogie, featuring Gene Krupa Gauthier and torch singer, Frances Langford Keaney. The ever popular Harry James Dixon flourishes his baton, our maestro di cappella. Well! Do you see whom I see? William Waite, the noted French professor at a very exclusive girls' school, is here. Richard Boliannon, that gentle little hunk of man, is the considerate bouncer in this club. His policy is to throw out only those who do not seem to be having a good time. Let us stop here beside this foursome talking over old times. The predominant voice is that of the new Hollywood COTl lQCllGllllQ, Elainw Crandall. Almost equally well heard is Rufh Healy.
