THE 1936 KRABBA Just then we were interrupted by a hideous shriek coming from next door. I asked Buddy what the cause was and found it to he coming from Howard Taylor, Jr. Howard Taylor and Bill Tyler were sharing the apartment next door. Traynham then announced a news flash. Charles Sigler, famous Arctic Explorer, had just accomplished a feat that Chester Gump failed to do. Charlie, better known as “Flying Chic,” had just completed a non-stop flight around the north and south poles, a feat un¬ heard of. He was accompanied by Co-Pilot Andrew Todd and a reliable crew consisting of Bill Bonning, James Cone, Turner Poe, Francis Little and Franklin Ferguson. After hearing this, I bade good-by to Buddy and Libby and continued on my wanderings. 1 found myself before the City Auditorium, reading the list of Speakers scheduled for that night. Frank Bader’s name headed the list. His topic was “Modern Physics and Chemistry.” Also slated to talk were Eileen Woods, her subject being “Matrimony,” Wilfred Hendricks, recent author of “Fundamentals of Poultry Farming” and concluding the program Neal Hughes expressing his attitude toward the crooked politician. Walking further down the street, I came to a tall stately building. As 1 entered I saw a painting of a famous woman business executive. Engraved on the bottom 1 read the name, Jane Powell. Jane was a leader in High School and followed her career as leader after completing her education. On the ninety-sixth floor I entered a room where Jane was in a heated discussion with her executives. On the board of directors were Billy Wilson, Ruby Pierce, Catherine Thomas, Penelope Smith, Edward McMullen, Annie Sear, Doris Hartman, Mary Louise Robinson and Bertha Copeland. Stenographers were rapid¬ ly taking dictation. Among them I recognized Ozelle Turner, Elizabeth Clarke, Mae Baxley, Jackie Schliesmann, Amelia Wornom, Doris Davis and Grace Lee Elliott. I left them to their worries and journeyed further. An exclusive night club came into reality. They were celebrating because Eulalia Tysinger had won the recent national beauty contest. The music was furnished by William Speake and his “Loud Speakers.” When I entered they were playing their theme song, an old favorite, “The Music Goes ‘Round and ‘Round.” Ann Maloney, the hit of the year, in her role as blues singer, was featured with Speake. At the piano was Audrey Wood, successor to Eddie Duchin, and Waverly Wornom was playing the banjo. William Speake, himself, was at the drums and the orchestra leader was Elbert Hutton, brilliant successor to Paul Whiteman. The master of ceremonies, Sidney Dealing, silenced the music ami announced the celebrities who were present. Among them were Judy Hickey, one of the great actresses of movies and stage; Helen Crichlow, Olympic swimmer; Margaret Wilson, socially promi¬ nent; Alex Wiatt, famous publisher; Virginia Parham, leader of societv; the former Sheiidan Rush, now the wife of an army officer; Mrs. Alma Liberty Wildwood; Gladys and Gertrude Muire, lovely sisters who have captured the hearts of the American people by their singing; Virginia B. Carr, author; Carrie Massenburg, one of the best women lawyers in the country. Mr. Dealing then introduced a lilt of entertainment by way of a floor show. A chorus composed of Eva Rowe, Weymouth Phillips, Wilma Miller, Doris Miles, and Frances Smith, gave a beautiful ballet dance in Russian costume. This was followed by a new arrangement of the hit song of the year, “Don’t Run Around With Tommy” by the “Harmony Trio,” three girls who justify their name: Katy Ironmonger, Ann Rooney, and Jean Collier. Hazelwood Burbank then gave a shadow boxing demon¬ stration, using that famous left forearm jot. While she was demonstrationg, she got a little too close and 1 had to dodge, but 1 was too late. 1 awakened immediately and found my cook tapping my shoulder and telling me to get my chin out of the plate. 1 decided what had just happened was not a dream hut a nightmare! 1 wonder what really has happened to the class of ’36.
