Royal Beauty Pageant It is true that everyone seemed to have some talent to demon- strate before Davey Jones at the show. Often the only talent that a pollywog possessed was being beautiful.

Paul Putzer sang about the worthy Shellbaoks. Prof. Fu Ling Yu presented his magic act. ' Talent Show On the evening before crossing the equator, Davey Jones came aboard to warn all the polly- wogs of the arrival of King Neptune the following morning. ln an effort to gain mercy and please Davey, the pollywogs put on a talent show. Enter- tainment, organized by Mr. Branshaw, was a oredit to the high caliber of pollywog on this year's cruise. Everyone seemed to have some talent to offer, and Mr. Jones went away quite impressed. The rights of all Pollywogs were affirmed by this rebel quartet. 1 tf, I'.1 n u 'I 1
