Sen ion Clabb (Pnophecy commentator from Washington. D. C., ably served as chairman of the dinner and introduced Hugh Ben LaKue who made a very interesting talk. He was associated with a group of lawyers in Chicago. Betty Watkins, dean of women at Wisconsin University, also gave an enlightening address. Next came the introductions and we were reac- quainted with all those we had been unable to con- tact. At the end of the table was Russell Sadler and his wife, Exine Turn bow. Rusty” was now coaching football in Yale, Okla. Then Archie Cotton and spouse. Ernestine Campbell, who were at the head of an orphanage in Tulsa; Bernice Hamilton and Juanita Davis, nurses at the Cushing hospital; Winifred Slater, foreign language teacher from A. and M.; Ella Lee Taylor, reporter on the Daily Citizen; Hobart Trease and his wife. Emma Holland. Hobart being a highway patrolman. At another table. Ritchie Mur- rell. county commissioner and his wife. Betty Orr; Catherine Cheatham, who had been chosen Miss Okla- homa for two years consecutively; Emma Darnaby, home service correspondent for the Daily Oklahoman; Ola Cook, health adviser at the Y. W. C. A. in Kansas City; Austin Bolerjack. a very noted author and his wife. Sybil Beall, from Atlanta. Ga. Also in our pres- ence were two celcbrites from Hollywood—Kenneth Gillespie, who was 'tiling the place of Bob Burns, and Betty Jo Turner, another Martha Rayc. In- cidentally. they were married. Calvin Martin and his wife. Martha Vineyard, came next. Calvin was work- ing for the railroad. Eugene McMahan stopped to give a campaign speech since he was running foi stale representative. His wife was Juanita Henry. Margaret Roll had inherited a large department store in Dallas. Raymond Goff and Galen Holkir.ger were co-partners of a filling station in Cushing. Their wives were Nadyine Edwards and Juanita Benson, very active in womens clubs in Cushing. Next. Lester Robb, a great cattle man and his wife. Sybil Johnson. Quite an oddity followed—Melvin. Tommy. Eugene, owners of the Brookshire-Brookshire-Brookshire Cough Drop Corporation. Bob Abercrombie a fam- ous ballroom dancing teacher, and Doris Loftis, a petite airway stewardess were having an interesting conversation. Maxine Adams. Pern Campbell, and Virginia Wheeler were the owners of the largert bak- ery in the southwest. John Bamer. president of Ear- ner's Better Bam Builders Association, and his co- workers. Joe Nichols, and Robert Welch, were biisily engaged planning a new bam for Secretary Wallace. Raymond Jeske was following in the steps of his father, now being the owner of the cleaning shop. HLc wife was Lotha Wilson. Trellys Williams was now filling Dorothy Dix's position in the news. Her ad- vice to the lovelorn was surprisingly helpful. Donald Heidemann had become quite an authority on bridge while Leon Dethloff was a traveling magician. Ken- neth McVay, Ishmael Harvison. and Hubert McNair were managers of an escort service in Reno. Earl Cotton was the owner of a profitable garage where Carl Garrett was employed as chief mechanic. Alla Mae. Frances, and Elva were becoming quite success- ful in the Tipton-Walker Candy Company in Vinita. Jewel Franks was a well-known Scout Executive whose wife, Virginia Burris, was head of the Girl Reserves. Dashing in a trifle late came Harvey Stone and Noah Tuttle, the two leading glamour boys of America. Ray Dwinell represented another de- partment in American affairs, the navy. He was commander of the S. S. Slnk-or-Swim. After the introductions, that master of syncopat- ed rhythm, Bennie Bragg, led his orchestra in a brand new lyric written by Carl Phillips. Some of the mem- bers of the group were quite familiar. The drummer was the one and only Michael Blake; the tuba player. Edwin Carrico (we wondered if had acquired his blowing ability while taking debate); James Smith, clarinet player; and Wallace Gumm. a wizard on the trombone. Ruth Larry did a beautiful vocal selection while Lloyd Fritch entertained us with an operatic aria. After checking on the group, we found that only seven were unable to attend our wonderful reunion. One of these was Cousin Joe Goodman” who came on the air later In the evening. Two others were James Givans and Bessie Baker, a happily married couple who were now in South America. James was a successful engineer. Louise Brown had been injur- ed in a train wreck while touring the country. Wanda Reedy and Virginia Quick were on a cruise and Ponzy Waller, matron of the women's prison in Colorado, was unable to attend. After all was over, we bade our friends goodbye and continued the trip we had planned. JANE HINDS CHARLAINE DAVIS
