THE OAK . his southern drawl, and is appearing in amateur units in the United States and Europe. Unconventional though it may be, on the left is the unusual girls stag line consisting of the school teachers, Mary Jean Moss and Jeanne MacKenzieg the owners of the Uhley Veterinary Hospital, Helen and Luellag Winifred Gardner, imitator of babies over Station WEXLg Louise Theobald, practicing medicine in Boston, with a very fine business at thatg Jeannette Hanchett, president of the Woman's Feder- ated Clubs of America, in a devine gold evening gown, Genevieve Spalding, the novelist who has been awarded the Noble prize for her book The Last Cur- tain g Teresa, Tasch, the sculpturistg Barbara Mat- tingly, the artist: Betty Turner the evangelist, Cor- inne Larime, a social worker in the slums of Chicagog the jazz lyric writer, Audrey Morrisong Eloise Pugsley, owner of a large chicken farm in the hills of New Hampshire, assisted by John Malinoski and Jeanne Rorickg Geraldine Schroff, owner of a pet shopg and Melva Silvey and Gloria Voebel, proprietresses of a nudist colony in the South Sea Islands. The Anderson team, Lorraine and Dorothy, are the owners of the Can't Tell It From Your Own estab- lishment which guarantees natural-like blond hair. Dorothy Crysler is the matron of the Ethiopean Orphanage. Edith Elrod has taken the position of converting the S. S. Kresge Stores as positions for girls instead of jobs. Dorothea Hoemke is the seam- stress for Shirley Temple frocks, which are still on the market. Clarence Fry, who is owner of the Fry Circus, has entered accompanied with his troupe: the sword swal- lower, Bill Fraser, the lion trainer, Eleanor Eckel, and can she train lions? And how! Why not? The aerial perfomers consist of Lois Fraser, Rosemary Garrison, Doris Gildner and Lillian Sorenson, the fortune teller, Jewel Schiebold, dressed in red and orangeg and the barker, Bill Place, which ends the circus. But who has arrived! None other than Jim Moore, Royal Oak's leading dog catcher, all decked out in high hat and tails, white carnation, spats, and cane! England is well represented with the arrival of La-dy Bertha Haley in the comp:ny of the Duke and Duchess, the Earl Dendels, the duchess being the for- mer Marjorie Gowatch. Ethel Gnass, who follows the royal family, has come with her husband, a Harvard graduate. She has settled down to a simple life in the country raising triplets, Faith, Hope, and Charity. Doris Wreggit, the rag rug heiress, with lorgnette and all, has arrived with John Jacob Astor IV. The women from the W. C. T. U., Betty Tuller, Margaret McGuire, Catherine McLay, and Franccs Swindell have shocked expressions at the appearance of the cigarette girls, Eleanor Filsinger, Agness Jen- nings, Maxine Holbrook, Mildred Adams and Char- lotte Krause. Mary Pearson, who married her old flame iguess Q who?J is selling magazines in the Michigan Terminal Station to help out the family finances, has arrived with Mildred Lechesfske, who has a beauty parlor in the Woolworth Building assisted by Jean Rutledge, and Elsie Marshall. Ramona Nass has taken up flying. and is an air hostess on a twenty-four hour trans- atlantic line from Royal Oak to London. Frederic Donaldson has arrived accompanied by his wife, Vel- va Weese. The new long distance swimming champion, Eve- lyn Glass, can be seen with her competitor, Rosella Greenbaum in the company of Charles Durst, a west- ern rancher, and his wife, Helen Haskins. Our other new champions present this evening are Florence Kanarske, Geraldine Kennedy, and Margarst Qott, the Round-the-World Roller Skate champs. .Ethel Nordin, the reporter for the Acorn Gazette, has just given me the latest news of the day. It has been reported that Bob Hengel had threat- ened to commit suicide if Bettiejane Tait married Charles Hepler, but she fooled them both and mar- ried Jack Parent. Charles went back to his first love Ellen Kcnnard-and Bob Hengel went- home to his wife, Marian White, and kiddies. Also, Virginia Groth has been found to be the other woman in the Morag Ferguson-Fred Linscheid divorce case. According to the press, Genevieve Townsend, an old classmate, is very busy helping her uncle put over the Townsend plan with all its intricities. I believe that the last to arrive before we begin with the program are the diplomats of the group, the Congresswomen Joyce Standing and Cleo Upton: the presidential candidates, Harry Warren, Republi- can, and Roy Rutledge, Democrat accompanied by the President of the United States, a. All stand, please. Following closely behind are the G- Men, , Gordon Gilbert, and ! I wonder if they are really as ferocious as they look. fPss-s-tl And now for the event of the evening,-the pro- gram consisting entirely of the stage and screen, and night club entertainers of Our Class. And now asthe -well, for heaven's sake-Surprise! Surprise!! SUR- PRISE! Classmates, if it isn't Miss Catherine Gunn and Mr. George Dyer, former senior advisors. Such a change, I could hardly recognize them. Miss Gunn is using a gilded cane and leaning quite heavily. Her step is slow, her greeting weak. Mr. Dyer, minus his mustache and somewhat thin- ner, is escorting Miss Gunn. He has on a large purple checked suit with a green tie. Such a reception they are getting! Now, since the excitement has settled down, and Miss Gunn and Mr. Dyer have been escorted to seats of honor-we'll really begin. The lights are being dimmed, and the yacht is leaving port,-pulling out to sea. Two pages whom we recognize as Violet Henrie and Richard Hooper are passing out programs for the evenings entertainment. The program is as follows: PAGE SIXTEEN
