KN - SCCFCUZKY-HELEN CHILDRESS - ,nl Our Delphian Literary Society which was organized in 1916, has had 'Tr many important meetings this year. Last semester new members were elected, and wore ribbons of our colors, purple and yellow. Our annual social event consisted of a roller-skating party. During many meetings we discussed literary topics and the Literary Contest took up much of our time. We have had a very profitable year, and We take great pride in our society and our advisor, Mr. Calvert. LITERARY CONTEST OUR FAMILY REUNION Conzfinued won by the children at school. Aunt Fannie, who has no children mily, is telling of the happenings at vacations and honors to talk about, since she is the old maid of the fa missionary meeting, or relating something about a gentleman who used t h o pay er attentioni' in the days of long ago. When the dessert of ice cream and cake is served every woman makes sure her husband gets a large piece of her cake. , Af d' ' ter inner the young people plan to escape to the recreation room for a rand S evening of bridge and dancing, but, before such a thing is possible Aunt Fannie arises , with paper in hand and announces that everyone must now go to the living room for the ro ram. It' ' 'bl ' ' ' ' ' p g s impossi e to imagine a Reyburn family reunion without a program. Reluctantly, the young and, joyously, the old take their places in a big circle. With Aunt Fannie in charge, the program, beginning with the youngest children so that rh ey may go to sleep if it lasts too long, gets under way. Janie, who is nine years old, recites the pieces she learned at the age of Hve when she studied expression. Then another of the little nieces plays the Edelweiss Glide? As Aunt Fannie starts to announce each number, every young person cringes with fear that his turn will be next They are l' d re ieve and amused for a time while jovial Uncle Ben in a lofty tenor sings Sweet Evelina, very dramatically, as he accompanies himself on the piano. Uncle Frank con- tributes the next vocal number, Home on the Range? Aunt Madeleine really enjoys her part, for she studied dramatics and dreamed of a career on the stage, until she met Uncle Stanley. Now, an imposing, white-haired matron, she realizes her clubs and other social activities are rapidly depleting the modest fortune Uncle Stanley left her, and she is considering crashing Hollywood. She tells the assembled family that all her friends say she can step right into the shoes of Marie Dressler. Yet she, personally, thinks Confirmed 011 page 29 .IPI 19

' Photographer ERNEST WHITNEY DICK BROCKHOUSE Advertising Manager Photographer STATION S-T-A-F-F'-S INITIAL BROADCAST An all-star show was presented over Hctitious radio station S T A F F to introduce a new product on the market, the 1936 Nor'easter Annual. The first star presented was the famous Tell-me-a-story Lady, Boydene Burns who gave some of the modern doings in Mother Goose Land. The Staff Trio, Mary Frances Sharp, Betty Good, and Donnasue Lohmeyer were quite up to the occasion with a very unusual rendition of a new tune, Fifty-two Ivories, composed by Miss Lohmeyer. A well-kno-wn sports commentator, Don Sturges, gave a vivid description of the athletic record of Northeast this year and a prediction for the future which met with decided approval. y Miss Dorothylu Devin made her debut as a singer on this program but she was not a stranger to the audience for she had made quite a name for herself on the stage. Her latest role was that of Patricia in the current success, Heart Trouble. The sponsors sent a personal representative, Jeanne Altergott, whose talk made the audience more fully aware of the sincerity and goodwill of the sponsors. A short advertising skit was given by those famous advertising geniuses, Richard Griffith and Marian Whitaker, showing of what use their product will be in future years. A take-oHf of those master comedians, Fred Allen and Portland I-Ioffa, was presented by Lowell Hall and Rolena Hays, who are fast making a name for themselves with their clever work. The studio audience joined in singing the theme song, Stack Up Your Dollars, to the tune of Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bagf' The words to the theme song were composed by Prof. E. D. Phillips so-me years ago, but still prove stimulating to the sale of our product. The mistress of ceremonies was Miss Ruth Aronson who- conducted the program with unusual poise. --eil 21 J f I c T 1lTTT.f A so gffsg ef, f f-fx.....,,
