22 THESAURUS To return to the banquet, the toastmistress, Miss Pauline Volkman, who was president of the class in high school, is ready to give a short welcoming address to them. We are especially pleased to have Miss Volkman with us tonight, for she very unselfishly turned down more than a score of prospective patients to be here. What does she do to have such a good business? Why, she's a really painless dentist, and that certainly is something nowadays, isn't it? We have just finished a delicious meal of shrimp cocktail, con- somme a la royale, roast goose, apple jelly, potato souiiie, cauliliower au gratin, endive and roquefort salad, coup St. Jacques, and coffee, and Miss Volkman is commending Chef Raoul of the Hotel Raleigh fRalph Bergeron to usl, who prepared it as a special treat for the '41B's. Now she introduces the next speaker, Miss Lillian Auger, who tells of her experiences as a nurse in Europe, and also of the heroic war-ace, Jasper Pidgeon, who sits at her side, blushing modestly. A lighter touch in the program is provided by Lawrence Annis, who gives selections from his latest book of poems, Memoirs of My Romances. The last speaker before the iioor-show is John Tjampiris, who gives us his opinion on conditions in the United States, which, I must admit, is not very encouraging. Now the lights are dimmed, and everyone leans forward with particular anxiety, for this show, too, will be put on entirely by former members of the 194113 class, who have made their mark in the world as professional entertainers of all sorts. A brilliant spot-light is turned toward the far end of the hall, and into its beam steps- Bulcock, and his violin! He bows, lifts his bow and plays the famous Fright of the Bumble Bee with amazing ease and verity of expression. Now we know why the poor bee was frightened! The applause swells and then is hushed as Karagianis and Becker, aesthetic dancing team, step out on the floor. Miss Karagianis is dressed in a flow- ing gown of pink chiffon, and Miss Becker in an identical one of pale blue, which iioat gracefully as they perform the pathetic Dance of the Dying Swan. As a contrast, the next feature on the program is that debonair song-and-dance man, Eddie Pellerin, a combination of Fred Astaire, Bing Crosby, and Jack Benny rolled into one. As a conclusion to our fioor-show, that prima donna of the Metropolitan opera, Mme. Jeanne Vogel- Byrde, thrills us with Dio possente, dio d'amo'r from Faust. The lights are again turned on, as the guests adjourn to the beautiful ballroom of the Sugar Hill House. I have just been asked to make an announcement that Madame Carlotta, noted mys- tic and fortune teller, has consented to read the palms of all the guests-free! My, how they are swarming around Miss Buecher, I mean Madame Carlotta. The music is starting now, though, and the first couple on the floor is none other than William Heckmann, who seems quite recovered from the afternoon's tumble, and Eleanor Wer- ner, top ranking Hollywood star, whose dark hair and fair skin are beautifully set off by an evening gown of coral velvet. They are immediately followed by Mrs. Heckmann and General Godfrey Blombach, resplendent with sabre, medals, gold braid, monocle, and brush haircut. Over near the stage is Charles Rogier, author of the best seller, Personality and How to Develop It, with Miss Becker, and to the right of them Madame Carlotta and Mr. Karl Hirth, President of the Meat Packing Corporation of Chicago. Here comes District Attorney Archie Boisvert, looking rather doubtful as Jockey Emile Van Der Eecken tells just how he won the Kentucky Derby on an old nag that wasn't fit to pull a hack. No wonder Archie looks doubtful. I just caught a glimpse of sculptress Lorraine de Grandmaison, whose statue, The Wisher, has been acclaimed by art critics as a world masterpiece, dancing with Wall Street broker, Donald Ladouceur. As the second dance starts, I see Mrs. John Kazanowski, nee Mildred Kapela, who, with her husband, has de- veloped a seedless watermelon, and Mr. Robert Ace Johnson, big league baseball player. To the left of them is Ensign Horace Millette of the United States Navy, and Miss Dorothy Stearns, campaign leader for the first woman ever to run for the presidency of the United States. Up here near the microphone Edward Ringenwald, war correspondent, gives last-minute information about affairs in Europe to an interested group of listeners, among them being Miss Charlotte Leahy, social worker, Mr. Henry Zankowski, New York playboy, Mr. Ralph Keefe, Broadway actor, Miss Pauline Driscoll, renowned magazine and book illustrator, and Doris Jache, woman evan- gelist, who will give a sermon tomorrow before the members of the 1941B class of Manchester High School West leave for their homes in all parts of the United States. And now, ladies and gentlemen, I will return you to Wilbur Scratch- more. Thank you, Gerald, and I just want to say be- fore signing off that this has truly been a history- making event, and I hope that I may again be able to bring you news of these celebrities whom I have met tonight.
