At eight o'clock sharp the first guest arrived. It was a tall, broad shouldered gentleman with black hair, brown eyes and a brilliant smile. As he walked over to smile up at him, Donald recognized the fame iliar Uwaddlen of his namesake, Donald Bryant, who was now known as the most promising orchestra leader in the country. Mr. Duck was so stunned at M . Bryant's early arrival that he had time for only a slight greet- ing when other guests were announced. The next arrival was Miss Mildred Underwood, who had come all the way from Hollywood to attend the convention. She was tall and thin and was escorted by Mr. Errol Flynn, with whom she had been working on their new picture. Miss Underwood, known to movie patrons as Darlene Godfrey, had been the most sensational star ever to arrive to Hollywood, because of her great dramatic ability and her sweet disposition. Despite having acquired fame and fortune, she was the same Mildred that Donald Duck had known in high school. The next to be announced were Mr. and Mrs. Charles Pickrel, known to their classmates as Pickles and Betts. Bette had grown somewhat tal- ler and was as charming at thirty-two, as she had been at seventeen. She still cocked her head on one side and smiled at everyone she met.Pickles still wore his innocent smile and cheerfully took orders from Bette. Miss Norma Hodges, who entered next, was escorted by two gentlemen from Hollywood, who seemed anxious to have her sign a contract for the starring role of UBlown with the Breezen. Norma was pretty and young looking as she had been when she attended school,and her right eye still had the habit of slyly opening and closing as she rolled those sky blue eyes. Mr. Warren Weyrauch was very handsome in his evening clothes and top hat. He had the same boyish shock of Ndishewater blondu hair and twink- ling blue eyes. He brought his movie camera along and took pictures of the activities as the guests continued to arrive. f Then there appeared on the scene, Kenneth and Tennyson Luttrell, now partners in Luttrell, Woolworth and Luttrell Five and Dime Store. They were pompous gentlemen escorting two beautiful blondes. Virginia Brinkmann and Maxine Gray were now teachers of music at Brentwood and Webster High Schools respectively. Miss Doris Faye Mbur- eau was the secretary of Brentwood High School and still jitterbugged with as much enthusiasm and grace C?J as she had in her Senior year at Brentwood. Mr. and Mrs. Burton Kitson were also there. Burt was now a famous psychologist. Mrs. Kitson, the former Eloise Beckley, was this and tall and wore rouge, powder, eyebrow pencil and even lipstick. She was very attractive in her brilliant red dress and fur coat. Miss Katherine Beletz and Miss Helen Fieser arrived, escorted by two very handsome strangers. Katherine had dark hair and brown eyes, and Helen was blond and had blue eyes, though she still wore her glasses. M . Paul Ford, who arrived at that moment was short and fat, with bald head and glasses. Bob Conner and Harold Michener created quite a sensation as they came in, turning scmersaults and handsprings. They were now clowns and

fessional tennis player. She had won more games that year than anyone and had a magnificent display of cups and trophies. Bill Ruick was there, also. He was employed as chief Janitor in charge of mjanitoringn at Manhassett Vi1lage.He brought with him a sweet blonde thing who was employed as chief maid also at Manhassett. Bill had been fired from every other job because he carried snakes and liz- zards everywhere he went. a Paul Nappier and Melba Light, who arrived next,were still going to- gether. They still looked as they always had and teased each other as much as ever. 1 Hazel Rekart and Mary Roberts worked together as stenographers. Hazel had recently won the national shorthand speed test and Mary the typing speed test . ' Norma O'Sullivan was somewhat thinner and very sweet. She was dres- sed as stylishly as she had been in school and had been visiting Paris and studying fashions there. Jim y Sage, who was now a very famous prefessional basketball playa er, was escorting a sweet, little dark haired girl. He received quite a bit of teasing about the girl's part he had played in a Ghurch play when he was a Senior. w Miss Doris Lauth was still toying with the heart of a famous clown in a comedy team on the stage. She was her own sweet self and warmed the hearts of all to whom she spoke. Norma Ruesing was then announced. She was accompanied by her hus- band to whom she had' been married for quite some time. She was not so quiet and shy as she had been in school. Richard Ludwig was now famous in the capacity of Public Accountant and serving Brentwood ably from his own little office.. Almost all the guests except the guests of honor were present, when a quiet gentleman slipped in, unannounced.He was tall, rather thin, with a semblance of a bay window and hair just becoming gray at the temples. Donald Duck was rather puzzled until he looked into the smiling boyish eyes of Jimm Glasgow,who was manager of his own Five and Ten Cent store in Maplewood. Just then the doors were flung wide and the guests of honor were an- nounced. Mr. Anweiler was tall with straight black hair and his same snapping brown eyes. Mr. Tegethoff was somewhat stouter than he had been while in school but he still towered above his companions. Mr. Prather was still the WSilent Partneru but smiled at everyone never-theeless. Mr. Micke was exactly as he had been in High School. 'How that is, only those who knew him then, could tell. ' Everyone was extremely happy that such worldewide fame had come to four Brentwoodites, and the boys received much applause. As for Donald Duck, he was fairly bursting with pride at his Senior class whom he had mascotted so well through their last yeara They dined and danced far in- to the night until everyone was slightly delirious with the pleasure of again being together. After the last guests had departed Donald Duck fell into a deep sleep dreaming of times gone by and the night of wonderful happiness. 1 Esther Beckley
