The 8B Masquerade The Murray Hotel, owned and operated by Robert Murray, is celebrating its gala opening with a ball at which each guest is to appear as a well-known historical character. The cordial host greets each masked guest wondering at each identity. As twelve o’clock approaches, the guests begin to unmask and we find that John Smith is none other than John Melchisedeck, Vasco de Gama is Lester Wreath, the charming Betsy Ross is our friend Constance Vogel, the hardy Daniel Boone is the well-known William Halverson, and Thomas Vlassis is the eminent Governor Dinwiddie. As the guests seat themselves at the beautifully decorated table we sec next to the host Virginia Youngherg as Martha Washington. Others at the table are Blaine Lindskog as Thomas Hooker, Howard Gross-man as Cornwallis, Margaret Evans as Louisa May Alcott, Audrey Bowers in a beautifully beaded costume as the charming Pocahontas. Beside her is his Excellency Lord North, who is after all our own friend Reuben Lundeen. Other famous characters are Priscilla Mullens portrayed by Ruth Jensen. The eminent poet Henry Longfellow is here and we have a faint suspicion that it is really Frank Holicek. A party would not be complete without Molly Pitcher and Massassoit who are Frances Chapman and Earl Halloway. Gorgeously gowned Queen Elizabeth is none other than Betty Holtby. As her escort wc find Lee Elphis costumed as Peter Styvesant, wooden leg and all.
