We catch a glimpse of Rita Miller, head of domestic science, and Marjorie Wright, of the physical education depart- ment 0f'S8WlCkl9X High School. There is Frank Neely, who owns the largest haber- dashery in. the Ohio Valley, together with Lester Wharrey and Margaret Jackson, who lliavs a Joint column on Advice to the Lovelorn, in Frederick's daily paper, The ea et. What a crowd has assembled and more still arriving! Cars are pullling up, dis- charging glamorous guests. Gaiety is the key-word of the evening. Patty Gormly. society editor of the New York Times, Ellen Davison, an illustrator of the same paper, and Esther Geddes, concert pianist with the New York Symphony are approaching on my left, while on my right comes Fay McClure, owner of a department store in Gleniield, her secretary, Harriet Friese, and Margaret Barr, society leader of Bellevue. As I look into the foyer I see many other classmates greeting each other, talking about old times. Among these are three former Sewickley athletes, Norman Dolde, football coach, and Alfred Ford, recent winner of the National Open Golf Championship, and another football man, David Rupert, now playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Dorothy Wright, whose last best seller, Sewickley on a Moonlit Night, has received most favorable comments from that outstanding critic, Robert McDonald, approaches with Harriet Baird from Baird School of Dancing, and Mayline Bova, secretary to Wendell Tinney, the purchasing agent for McClure's department store. Elmer Brown, also of Glenfield and President of this noteworthy class, forsaking his tremendous responsi- bilities as Chairman of the Board of Farmers' National Bank of Pittsburgh. is accom- panied by another successful business man, Edward Murphy, now the owner of a chain of restaurants. who began his meteoric career with one loaf of bread and a pound of hamburger. His success he attributes largely to his partner, Rae Mcllvain. They now employ Marie Hawes and Anna Kedar as dietitians. Dorothy Kretzler in Chicago and Ethel Holman in New York are heads of his two main branches. William Siegel is maitre de cuisine of Murphy's gigantic New York establishment. His staff of fifty chefs are the most noted in the world. . Now here is coming another group of cars. There is Flash Lee, now a pro- fessional track star, who once flashed for Sewickley football team. Mitchell Ford is racing in another held-he entered the last annual Indianapolis race. Herbie Mossett is now making good. He is the voice behind the Mickey Mouse Elms. Enthusiastic welcomes greet each newcomer. Most of these classmates have not seen each other for a good many years. What meeting now! Another group of women clad in expensive evening wraps is now going into the lobby. I'll see if I can get a view of their faces. Oh yes, they all flfashed a smile on me. Only a glance is needed to tell me that Kathryn-Brotherly, Eleanor Chickering, and Charlotte Lyon have arrived. Misses Brotherly and Chickering have journeyed from Newport where their exclusive school is located. Charlotte Lyon now has a notable collection of antique jewelery. Here are the Branch girls who own and run the first nursery depot in Pittsburgh: this is a new achievement in mother's comfort while shopping. Eleanor Mauro and Noreen Dempsey are still rivals in the knitting business, but here they are coming, chatting gaily. It looks as though the important men in the sports business haven't stopped coming yet. Bill Pflugh, who now is president of the Duff City Night Baseball League, and Elmer Rosenfelder, who now stars for the Rangers at right wing, come swinging in. It is nearly curtain time now, yet there are still a few coming at the last minute. This time it is a party of gay celebrities.

EMM GOOD EVENING, Radio Audience. Tonight, as you all know, is the World's Premiere of Sickeler's latest Broadway Production-Yes, Yes! As a member of the Class of 1935 of the Sewickley High School. he has invited all his classmates for the opening, and they have all come from far and wide to be present at this most notable reunion. Starring in this stupendous hit is Elsie Wagner, first lady of the stage since Katherine,Cornell has retired, and Edward Caughey, God's gift to American girls. They are very ably supported by John Sovak and Harris Wachter, famous dancing team. Fred Gould and his world-famous Cotton Club Orchestra, featuring the singing guitars and crooning trombones of the original Lightfoot and Hodge combination, supply that tantalizing rhythm known to all young dancers. The gorgeous costumes worn by the members of the cast were designed by Jane Cook and created in that fashionable dress shop of Irma Steinert's on Fifth Avenue. The producer is especially fortunate in having tonight at his opening, the Wolfe Sisters, Betty and Marie, famous harmony team, which sings on the Whiteside hour. White- side, who sponsors this radio hour, has just merged his Perpetual Motion Machine Company with Merrill's Fuelless Motor Works, and, in celebration, has stood all expenses for this production. The beautiful stage setting is a triumph of all the years of training George Barrie has received in the ways of the stage. The magnificent light effects and weird moods can only be attributed to that master electrician, G. Kent Beitel. Enough of that: now we transfer the microphone to the sidewalk where we will try to get the names of the guests this evening. It is almost time now for the first nighters to be arriving. Ah! here are the first ones, Anna Rupert and Ralph Jackson, famous owners of the Build'um Gymnasium Now pulling up is the most famous car in America: it is Merrill with his fuelless motor car. With him are Erna Schlentner, famous model, Mary Richmond, first woman head of Pontiac Factory, and Richard Frederick, noted newspaper publisher. As the cars are beginning to arrive fast now we will just have time to make a few comments on this impressive display of fashionable and prominent people. There's Lawrence Bobby chief economist on the Government staff, who has just returned from a conference with the President. He is escorting Agnes Brand, now chief social worker of New York Also in this party are David Stone, commercial artist, and Helen Neely, originator of Neely's Housewife's Helps, in Good Housekeeping Magazine Here come George Nester, real estate czar, Herbert Hartle, whose famous dairy now pipes milk direct to the city, and Frank Beall, designer of modernistic furniture These foremost business men take a large part in the affairs of Pittsburgh and its suburb, Sewickley. Following them closely are those two opposing Congressional speakers, Mary MacKeen and Lyman Crees, who have recently come to terms and now are united in the promotion of the R. L. Johnson Bill for the application of the Trust Act to pre vent John Faust from making his proposed merger which will monopolize the drug store trade of the world. Evan Koger, Faust's advisor on legal matters, and Jack Scott chief research chemist, are now entering, close behind Kenyon Arndt, Speaker of the House, and Judge Gray of the Supreme Court. Tomorrow these folks will meet in the Battle of the Century in the Senate. Tonight they are fellow classmates From far off British India come Ted Cuckenberger and Frank Legato, who supply animals for the Newbury and Woods Circus. Harold Nash, chief trainer, and Margaret Greig, Newbury's secretary, accompany them. There are Nancy Merrill, first woman president of Ohio State University, Howard Rye, concert 'cellist. and Dr. Jaclden ranking Brain Specialist at Johns Hopkins.

FAREWELL TO OUR SCHOOL Though sometimes we've grumbled loud and long, Hail, Sewickley High School Will be our most beloved song. Your teachings will be a most valued tool To use in building a higher stand For the coming years of our life in the land. Though you may not realize it, Without you, we will admit, We would not have conquered things That held down our ambitious wings. But you have taught us to soar Through spacious clouds-and more-- You've taught us the art of living, The way to play, and the joy of living: Oh, Sewickley High, forever will you be Near to use-whether on land or sea. When We remember our days with you Our cares and sorrows will be few! D. M., '35. Thirty
