‘It Can Happen Here!” On June 17, 1974, ‘‘“The H. H. S. Preposterous’’ embarked on its maiden voyage around the world. This luxurious liner was financed by Robert A. Dutile, the multi-millionaire, who hired the famous mechanical engineer, George Q. Lyna, to design this magnificent structure. At the stroke of the tenth bell, John Selfridge, chief whistle-blower, pulled the cord, givin g the all-aboard signal. Fond farewells were wished by the passengers as they made their way up the gang plank. Even as the guests board the ship, the problems of a ship’s captain begin. The witty, jovial captain, Otis Tholander, was seated at his desk in his luxurious quarters, advising Mrs. Glavin (‘‘Millite’’ Towle) as to the proper brand of seasick pills for ‘Freddy’, Jr. Head steward, Maurice Tucker, was showing Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Fleming (former Alice Merten) to their state- rooms. Mr. Fleming was head pilot of the Trans-Planet Airlines, and Mrs. Fleming has had her second novel published. Then there was a bright flash. ‘“‘Batten down the hatches,’ shouted Cap- tain Tholander. ‘““There’s a storm ahead.’ But then, it was only ‘“Jim’’ Currier with his trusty candid camera. ‘‘Jim’’ was taking pictures of the ship’s beautiful hostess, ‘‘Judy’’ Francts and her efficient staff, ‘““Peg’’ Quinlan, Jean Cuff, and Rowena Stivers. Howard ‘Scoop’ Iverson, now the editor-in-chief of the Universal Times, was seen rushing toward the Western Union office in order to telegraph to his paper the astonishing news that “Judy’’ Tucker had just re- ceived word from her agent, ‘Pat’ Finch, of ‘“‘Judy’s’’ contract with the Metropolitan Opera to sing in the fall on the same bill with Arolyn Mosher, a famous singer who already made her debut. ‘‘Scoop’’ may also include the latest report that Ralph Luciano, the professional football star, had been seen strolling the deck with ““Pam’” Benjamin, 1973 Powervogutan Girl, who got her start in high school. Barbara Martell was seen peeking into stateroom 308, ad- miring the 36-inch shoulders of ““Bob” Perry, heavyweight champion of the world. Reverend Robert Hentz, a foreign missionary, was seen in the lobby trying to convert Caro! Elden, Duchess of Polorodo, to Hentzism, while Dorts Bunker tried to capture her facial expressions for a portrait, which will be given to the Duke of Polorodo, Richard Hayden, for his birthday. Purser “‘Ed”’ Brennan was collecting money and valuables from the honor- ary members of the Snob-Hill Gang, Anne Kilmartin, instructor of Girls’ Ath- letics at Truro Normal School, N. S.; ‘‘Peg’’ O’Brien, well-known ballet dancer
