2 enior C4155 Mop ec? lt is a beautiful lune evening in the year 1953. Our scene is the biggest little town in the world, Philipsburg, Pennsylvania. The characters involved are the mem- bers of the 1943 graduating class, who are at last at- tending the reunion to which they have been looking forward with great expectation for the past ten years. After much consideration, the night club, The Royal Palace Gardens , owned by Ken Dunsmore, had been chosen as the site for this great social event: Bill Slee, the manager, is acting as master-of-ceremonies for the evening's activities. Some other '43 grads may be seen as one ap- proaches the night club. When driving up to the curb, lohn Freeberg opens the door for you. As you enter the brilliantly lighted foyer, Stanley Miller, the head waiter, directs you to hat-check girls, Louise Matthews and Doris Hurley, and then into the main room where other wait- ers, namely, Russell Smeal, Bill Gustafson, or Stanley Brink will lead you to your table. On the menu which the waiter hands you are many choice dishes, concocted by Chauncey Miller, the chef. Music for the evening is being furnished by George Wood and his l-lepcats. Iim King really is hep on the drums and Bob Branstetter still pounds the ivories with great versatility. The boys cancelled an important engagement in New York so they could be present tonight. Now the time is drawing near to introduce the guests, who by this time are beginning to arrive. Slee prepares to assume his role of host, and we see him shaking hands with Earl Rothrock, Don Gieseke, and Bob Dunlap, all members of the local Chamber of Com- merce. Then Mayor McTigue with his private secretary, Betty Kennard, and her assistants, Pyretta Muir and Irene Perks, arrives in a black limousine driven by Gttis McLarren. Mayor McTigue sees his old friend Bob Miller, who has also just arrived with his secretary, Ruth Thompson. Bob is a successful chemical engineer. He tells Irish about his recent work in China: While I was there I saw two of our classmates, Ioe Bean and Sam Butler, who are on a sight-seeing tour. Back in the foyer we see Slee greeting a group of distinguished looking men. Closer observation reveals them to be Bob Drury, Leroy McClimate, and Icfymie Ziff, co-owners of the only gyro-mobile factory in the world. The gyro-mobile is that new automobile-autogiro com- bination invented by the mechanical genius, Sam Con- rad. Accompanying the three owners are Bay Fetzek, Iohn Lesko, and loe Yasovsky, the famous triumvirate of the gyro-mobile workers union. Bay asks, Where are all my palseffeorge Belko and Iim Womer, for instance? Slee promptly replies, George and lim Shultz are on a daring expedition in the jungles of Central Africa. They are capturing wild animals for the Barnum and Bainey Circus. lim Womer went out West with Don Wood a few years ago, and I hear they're managing a dude ranch. The next moment an airplane motor is heard over- head. The sound indicates that the plane is landing on the night club roof. Slee sends Gustafson up to inves- tigate. Gusty returns, giving Slee the following report: lane Knapper, the well-known aviatrix. has just flown in from New York. On board the plane are Broadway actress, Suzanne Howe, now starring in 'The Moon Is Up', her secretary-companion, Dorothy Hamiltony Bar- bara Kragle, Ina Schreffler, and Anna lean Sauers, cur- rently appearing in the Ziegfield Follies: Andy Pezalski, their agent: and Estell Swatsworth, renowned character actor, now playing the title role in 'Life Without Father.' Next to arrive on the scene are those from our class who have been successful in radio. Elinor Carey, the Golden-throated Thrush , heard daily from 7:00 P. M. to 7:15 P. M. on the Davis Crunchie Crumbles program, is among the crowd. Also present is that slap-happy com- bination, Mattern and Motter, whose gags have been splitting the sides of radio listeners for almost a year, Ruth Richmond, whose famous Advice To The Lovelorn program is heard every Wednesday from nine to ten through the courtesy of Betty Baughman's Vitamin Pills , has just entered with her husband, Homer Kruger. Gladys Townsend, pianist for Phil Spitalnys all-girl or- chestra, is talking with ace photographer, Ed Hurwitz. Watch for tonight's highlights in tomorrows Daily Bugle, owned by Ioyce Bair. Two other classmates, Verna Czap and Wilber Shimmel, are members of the Daily Bugle staff. Ed hastens to photograph two girls from our class who have become famous models. The sparkling smile of loyce Bush has been seen many times advertising Dr. Gette's Toothpowder. Trinkie Griest is a familiar figure who models Pat Wallin creations. Some of these are illustrated in the current issue of The Feminine World, edited by Dollie Feiock. 28
