l936 Prophecy . THE OAK 5. Good evening, folks, this is Glen Noble broadcast- ing aboard Frank Houser's luxurious yacht The Oak celebrating the 10th anniversary of that well known 1936 June graduating class of the Royal Oak High School. The orchestra, dressed in very becoming ma- roon uniforms, under the leadership of Bud Brossard, familiarly known as Brossard and his Buddies, is seated on a floating golden dias whipping up the strains of Classmates on Parade. Kenneth Haith is at the piano with Richard Ball doing his best at the tuba. Richard Hefferan is playing the drums, and there is Ricardo Landersowski and his violin. The crowd is milling in now. My, what a fine crowd. The odor of the maroon petunias and the golden daffodils, the lapping of the waves, the lights in the distance, the twinkle of the stars, and the light of the bright moon through the window with the soft wind brings the holiday atmosphere to this great occasion. The charming Newport socialite, Doris Reid, is graciously greeting the guests. While the guests are chattering and being seated, let's take a trip to the kitchen where Wilbur Westen- hofer, the chef is seeing that Ed Saulnier, the Chief Cook and Bottle Washer, is really washing the bottles. Back into the main dining hall, we find the waiters, Fr-eggl-I-igon, Bjidillawson, Ing-sBEnkert, and Henry Hubbell, seating thergtresfs. Ah, but look who is arriving now, no one but that famous snake charmer, Mary Gilliam, escorted by Bob Gear. Coming in with them is Marguerite Adams with Clar , and there is Dorothy Goode with Don Branch. Dorothy is wearing her famous imita- tion pearl necklace which she inherited from her great aunt. From my position I can see Mrs. Beth Chap- man Giddings Irwin Moore with Kenneth Ayton, the play boy. trying to persuade Dorothy Lumsden and Wayne Wolcott to join them at their table. Just stepping in the doorway is that well-known Smith family Barbara, Hadley, Peter, Robert, and Virginia. They do look bright and happy. One girl certainly wasn't enough for Norris 4TarzanJ Dyet who has brought both old girl friends, Helen Freeman and Marybelle Hoffmeister. The entrance of the heavyweight boxing champ, Joe C. Rogers, and his bodyguard, Burdette Campbell, has caused a slight revolution with Erna Kuehn, the PAGE FIFTEEN famous Hollywood actress arriving with her new lead- ing man, Dick Stout. How proud I am to be one of this class! Miss Kuehn will be soon seen with Mr. Stout in their new picture, Love's Last Call. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Gulian fthe former Eileen Bowerl have taken a table with the Stanley Browns-Mrs. Brown being the former Wanda Hancock. Now Martin and Tillie Kohn, joint owners of the Ritzy Ritz depart- hent stores in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Paris, and Royal Oak, are chatting with Mavis Mitch- ell and Jane Miller, missionaries on furlough from China. The well-known under-cover girls of the B. B- B. B. Secret Society, Grace Baldwin, Betty Bassett, Donna Beyette, and Barbara Backus, are quietly hav- ing a cocktail at the bar. Helen Hilliard and Jack Dempsey with Marie Burdge and Leroy Hansen have just arrived. Helen has been awarded the title as the best-dressed woman in America. Among those on the dance floor, I see the sociol- ogist, Wayne Rairbairn, and his wife, Dorothy Jame- song Joe Finnell with his very chic French wife: John White, the cartoonist, and his wife, Rita Liskeg Fred Porter, New York's well-known horse dealer, and his wife, Marian Noleng Bill Landstrom, astronomer, with wife, Ruth Fraser, Wilson Cudworth and wife, Norma Frinckeg those hard-hitting Tigers and their wives are having a swirl, Pete Ganich and Hazel Leachg Ed Gerhardt and Gertrude Van Esleyg Robert Dundas, proprietor of Soggy Bread Co. is skimming over the floor with his wife, Mildred Psenicka. The winners of the latest marathon dance held at Les Werner's Amusement Park are Marjorie Wooden and Leroy Tree. Forming a stag line on the right is the very hand- some and eligible Bob Brooks, the garter king, the fascinating Charles Buck, undertakerg the Oxford val- edictorian graduate, Garrett Mouw, looking very bored: the salty sea-captain, Joe J. Rogers, and his gobs, Malcolm Shellington, Robert Snow, and Ed Uhler are receiving more than their share of pretty smiles from the girls. The traveling salesmen, Don Giddings and Harold Furman, are swopping stories in the center of the Hoorg Earl Watch, the warden of Sing Sing Prison has an eye for ally the balloonists, Cecil Luttenbacker and Edward Langley complete the stag line. Stuart Ries is working as a potter in the New York Pottery Co. Richard Childs has gone in for a pro- fessorship at Yale. Gerald Irwin has made use of
