THE CENTENNIAL boyhood days he lost his dignity, and making a rush after the ball, he dropped the eggs. Boom?—the explosion shook the world. Family trees were uprooted. People were flung into mid-ocean. In the far away China Seas, Skipper Drew and his good ship were just entering Hong Kong with a cargo of wheaties, when Don Cowger, wireless operator, picked up a message which was being sent by Evelyn Chapman from ■the Philippine Islands, where she was a radio announcer, conveying the news, with instructions to proceed with further delay to the scene of the disaster off the coast of N. A. When the ship arrived the crew immediately set about restoration. The first two people to be rescued were Julius Peterson, famous detective, ana Eula Mae Jones, in a striped bathrobe. Julius, having been hit on the head by one of Willard’s chicken-coops, was slightly befuddled, and taking Eula Mae for a convict, had handcuffed her to himself. Eula Mae Jones, known to movie fans as “Petey Jones”, had been surprised by the upheaval while bath- ing at Long Beach. When the last recruit was dragged aboard a great shouting went up when the Class of ’36 realized they had assembled in one congregation—the most talented group of people ever to be rescued from an ocean. A means was then sought to restore them to their former beauty. Mme. Lyla Hurdsky, whose gowns excelled Clarence Tift ingtui'ter’s, took in the sails andi made wearing apparel fit for a king. Their streaming locks were re- stored to their former lustre and beauty by Leona Bartlett and Pearl Inge- bretson, of Bantinge Salon, ,Tnc., St. Louis, Missouri. Dr. Alice Littlefield, •famed brain surgeon, administered typhoid germs! When everybody was comfortably resting in deck chairs reading the latest edition of the New York Times, who claimed as its editor the talented Helen Benbow, the call went- up for dinner. Amid a great rustling of sails, while Senator Dyrland’s stentorian tones were raised in cne of his famous congressional speeches as he proposed farm relief for the starving coal-miners, ithey were filing into the dining hall when the roar of an airplane was heard. One of the Ophus Airline planes arrived bearing the Ophus sisters and Norma Butler, who was filling an appointment as personal secretary to J. P. Morgan. The entire class was now present! Heard in a comer—under a life boat—a vigorous argument on the at- tributes of sheep, sponsored by William Sibra, and polo ponies, championed by Laura Randall. Each was defending their respective ranches. Olga's peace was shattered by their volley of English that upset her decorum. Olga Hab- urchak, Ph. D. positively could not stand bad English, but she was soon soothed by strains of music which floated from the conservatory. Bemeta Courtnage, a singer from the Metropolitan Opera, accompanied by Gladys Larson, graduate of the Leipzig Conservatory of Music, was rendering an eve- ning concert. Clifford Blockhus and Ardath Henderson were having consid- erable difficulty trying to work thedr intricate dance steps into (the varied rythm of the music. They had an engagement on Broadway. Mr. Nagel, un- mindful of the confusion of the past few days, sat calmly drawing winning football plays on the tablecloth for his Stanford team. The time had come for order and the famous executive came forward, paving had much experience in calling meetings to order during her early years in high school and her later years as ambassador to England, Bessie Black, from the crow's nest, cried, “The meeting will now come 'to order.’ LYLA HURD BESSIE BLACK BERNETA COURTNAGE
