Bob Burnson, the inventor of the Burnson burner is discussing politics with Richard Hayworth, the automobile designer from Ford's. Allis Carter is warming up with our swing orchestra, and it looks as if she will entertain us shortly with one of her specialties. She is accompanied by her manager, Cassie Fort. The McCarty brothers, of hotel fame, are enioying a good cigar with Lonnie Swann, who has only recently completed the chain of the Ray Spoutz hotels. On Mr. Swann's right, we see Baynes Thomas, the boy scout executive and his assistant, Charles Schmid. Also with us tonight are a group of Navy and Army men: Bill Whiteside, Taylor Johnson, Keith Siver, Howell Blanton, John Snook, Dan Pratt, Charles Pemelman, and George Brack. Seated close to the palm trees are Evelyn Park er, the star of the poetry hour, and Beatrice Hawkins, the collector of poems. They are giving their choice collections to Pat Tallant and Jeanetta Vowell, radio artists, who have succeeded Ted Malone. Betty Jean Taylor, who is telling Ruby Turberville about a telephone conversation that she heard the other night, has iust won the annual award from the Peninsular Telephone Company. Up close to the orchestra we find Mimi Strickland and Imogene Rodgers, who have iust com- pleted their fourth year in the WAACS. This really is a celebration for them. The radio technicians, Evelyn Caldwell and Margaret Buchanan, have lust disclosed to the public their invention of television. Elsie Lee Dosher and Margaret Powell, Latin professors at Brenau Col- lege, are seated at their table also. Doris Fischer, child welfare worker from Washington, D. C., is conversing with her assistant about their work in the Juvenile Court. Well, ladies and gentlemen, all good things must come to an end sometime and it is now time for this broadcast to cease. Be sure to tune in your favorite station at the same time next year. Until then, this is your announcer saying, Goodbye for now. HOGUE TALLANT. fx lfluizwxiillx ' Tlx ff 3? X I lt, llkbhgleflite CLASS POEM Poets may sing of springtime, Though wise men say that life's a school In verses sweet or grand, We know it's also true But I sing of armies marching That life is like a call to arms, To save our glorious land. To challenge me and you. I sing the deeds of valor, From out of these halls of B. H. S. Of hearts both blithe and strong, We presently shall go, And of our own boys brave and true And may we all remember Who fight to conquer wrong. When we shall meet the foe. I sing too of my classmates, The lessons we have learned here, Of friends and teachers dear, Of courage, faith ,and cheer, Of lessons hard and thrilling games Our flag, our country, freedom And days that we spend here. And the things we hold most dear. --Ruth Long. Page 33

Marylene Tuten, who only recently invented Tuten Fruten, the wonder drink, has just come into the ballroom and is talking with Peter King, the minister. l see that Claire E. Davis, an artist for McCall's, and Bera Bass, her fellow-worker, are drawing on the table cloth. No doubt one of their newest designs for their magazine. Helen 'Grantham is talking to Mary Willie Anderson about her diamond-ball team that has iust won the pennant. She has hired Sarah Rood as her headcoach. Jo Anne Gray, Ann Sheridan's successor, for oomph girl, is giving a demonstration of her talent to Marcia Hiscox, the gardenia retailer, and Warren Dahlin, the Western Union manager of this district. Warren seems to be enioying it very much. Lucky Warren! Walker Crockett, the originator of the Crockett Vitality Radio Program, seems to be complaining to the head waiter, Paul Coddington, about his soup. Floyd Zipperer is going into the game room for a little entertainment. He will no doubt find Nancy Bonds, the dietitian talking with Ollie Cook about the latest kitchenware developments. I see that Gwen Rogers, proprietor of the Rogers' Summer Resort on Miami Beach, is doing a little advertising for herself. She is telling Marie Corbet that she is in rundown condition and needs rest badly. President Harold Hricko of the Third National Bank is talking business with Maryvonne Tervin, the District Attorney, of Detroit. They are being ioined by Mary Jane Worden, the head typist at the White House. Louis Greenwald, the professor of electronics at M. l. T., is arguing with La Verne Reno, the pro- fessor of physics at Duke. A third party is ioiningthem. Oh, it is Betty Hill, of the Hill Manufactur ing Company. There is some commotion outside. lt is Betty Henson riding up on a white horse. Barbara Gullett, the dress designer for Sears and Roebuck, is telling Mariorie Dixon about a new idea that came to her while she was in the game room. Marlorie has been featuring her comic strip, Stupor Man , in the New York Herald for several years now. A few minutes ago Betty Lane and Juanita Lewis, the most successful models in New York, made their entrance to our little party. Seated beside them are, Francis Ridgdill, the new Charles Boyer of the movies, and the bathing suit model, Miss Ruth Long. Isee the waiters hovering over professional basketball player, Bill Martin, and the mayor of Manatee, Jack Coker. At the table next to them are the Red Cross nurses who are on a vacation- Margaret Mason, Carlie Long, Ernestine Mixon, Geraldine Perry, and Frances Johns, ln the game room l see Shirley Cunningham, the cashier of the lnternational Blood Bank, Charlotte Healy, the president of the Lonely Hearts Bureau, Teddy Peace, who is a captain in the Air Corps now, Walter Tucker, the great criminal lawyer, who is talking to one of his former clients, Junior Duffey. l was afraid for a while that Ralph Wiley and James Bridges, the speed demon of the Annapolis race track and the contender for the Davis yacht cup, would not be with us tonight, but l see that they are here in all of their glory. As we go back into the ball room, we find none other than Hogue Tallant, inventor of perpetual motion, talking with lrvin Amlong, the police commissioner of New York. Near them ar Mariorie Miller, modeling one of her hats and Dabney Murrill, Charles Atlas' model of perfection. We also find Nancy Davis, the concert-mistress of the Cleveland Symphony, conversing with Frances Fortson, the president of the Girls' Service Clubs of America. Also talking with them is Glenn Rowe, the only woman expert blueprint reader ever produced in this country. Looking over the rocm again, we see that Charles Nichols, the best dressed man of the year, is dancing with Mary Hickerson, a stewardess fcr Pan-American. Near them are also Donald Horton, the admiral, and Rosemary Bauler, the head of the biggest trailer company in the world. Charles Johnson, the undertaker, is spilling punch on Barbara Starn, the originator of Blondine , the hair reiuvenator. Seated at the same table is Strato Telvely, the aeronautical engineer, who is now employed by Eastern Air Lines. The stores have iust closed, evidently, because here come Celia Melton, clerk at McCrory's, and Floella Bailey, the renowned photographer. It seems that Dot Boone, the woman wrestler, has traveling salesman, Robert Shelton, cornered and is telling him about her exploits in the ring. He looks as if he would not like to fight her without some training. Joining them at this very moment is Jean Baird, who has just completed her latest book, To Be True to the Army . She brought it along with her tonight, and maybe she will read to us before the night is over. But let me get on with the introduction. Page 32

We hope that the Junior Class will accept this responsibility and discharge it as well or better than we did. We hereby appoint Mrs. Fleming as sole executor of this our last will and testament.
