course, is about to photograph her. After this little formality they'll probably concentrate their respective talents on the deck below. Captain Donald Atwell of the American Air Force is waiting for them. Well, welll There seems to be more excite- ment aboard ship. Not only do we find this maiden voyage a great event, but there seems to be something else important. Walking along the deck we suddenly see various couples look at their watches, get up from their deck chairs, and hurry off. Wondering what is to take place we follow a couple who look very familiar. Sure enough it is Lois Williamson, head of the Little Suits for Little Women chain stores, busily talking to Glenn Mechlin, famous Hollywood Producer. We ask them where they are going, and we find that there is to be a big Broadway hit in the Tulip Room, which was designed by Mary Lou Snedden. Glenn and Lois ask us to join them and we accept with pleasure. Vincent Tocci, noted author of the day's best seller, What Comes Next, joins us. We go down the steps into the lounge and find it quite crowded as everyone has stopped there for a few minutes before the show begins. Through the 'big double doors on the right we see Angie Cunzolo, Betty Zeber, and Eve- lyn Spackman. These three smartly dressed women look at us questioningly and then a look of astonishment and recognition comes over their faces. We greet them and ask the usual questions, It seems Angie is now a secretary for Eleanor Merriman, whose Sleep- ing Tablets for Sleepy People are well known throughout the country. Betty and Evelyn are joint owners of a Fashion School in New York City. They are quite well known for the famous models they have turned out, among these La Verne Luster and Dona Arnold. La Verne's hair is known for its luster and Dona's eyes are sure to be seen in all ads advertising Ralph Valenzi's Glamour Dust, a preparation he has just perfected for brighten- ing the eyes. We go on then through the doors into a long hall. On either side of the hall are minia- ture shops. Taking a peek into one we find a Flower Shoppe run by Jacqueline Dempsey. Jacky developed a new plant which she has named the Newtonium Grubbium after the eminent agriculture expect. In another shop we End William Brown, a well-known foot specialist and his assistant, Vivian Campbell. With them too is Minnie King, the doctor's secretary and receptionist. She tells us some interesting news. It seems that Gregg Jones, coach at Lincoln University has had an unde- feated season with his football team and is being hailed as a national hero. Ralph Lee established a new world record just recently PROPI-IECY when he ran the well known Mile-a-minute race in half a minute. Gladys Ray has done well for herself, too: Gladys is an efliciency expert for Henry Kaiser. We continue down the corridor for we have just five minutes before the program begins. We are very much surprised upon entering to find Dr. Edgar Henry, head of Johns Hopkins University, and Dr. Thomas Wolfe, director of the Free Medicinal Union, with their secre- taries, Miss Jane Wharrey and Miss Hilda Pauloski. Dr. Henry has perfected a new medical treatment for curing heart trouble. Miss Roberta Drew, famous organist at Radio City, says that the Hite of her success was due to Dr. Henry's medical treatment. The first item of interest is the dedication of the Tulip Room by Michael Lebhaft, who just recently returned from Mars in his rocket ship Crash Speed. Michael was introduced by the Master of Ceremonies, Eugene Brant, pres- ent head of the Sports Department of the cur- rently popular magazine Time Flies. Beverly Bailey and Mary McVicker are also on the staff of this magazine. Beverly's car- toons called Temptations are read by every- one, and Mary's personality column- You Too Can Be a Whiz, is a favorite with all the ladies. Ethel Schroeder is the advertising manager of the magazine. To go on with the program we find that all gowns were designed by Anne Davis, whose new styles and creations have given Adrian a headache. The stage setting was designed by Catherine Heuler. We hear that Catherine is also very much interested in racing horses, and her favorite this year is - Can You Spare a Dime -who is paying fifteen to one. There seems to be some other entertainment besides the play. There is Kenneth Wilson, well known night club entertainment who com- bines singing and bright chatter. Then at intermission-Augustine Fote, Metropolitan's newest soprano will sing Ah, Me from Patricia Molmark's latest Opera of the same name. Pat has written several operas recently, one very well known one being- Yes, Yes, Jarrett. Audrey Williams appears in costume dancing. And then we come to the height of the entertainment. We are truly honored tonight by two very distinguished artists. John Rob- ertson, director of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, is here to direct the Sewickley Metropolis' orchestra as background for the Broadway hit- Woman Supreme, starring the well known stage and screen actress, Bette Couser. The lights dim for the performance and as we watch the play we wonder if ever again we shall have the opportunity of seeing so many of our old friends together again. Twenty-five

PROPI-IECY T is the afternoon of June 18, 1963. We are amid a scene of colorful festivity, in one of a number of gaily decorated pleasure vessels dotting New York Harbor. We are about to witness a gala occasion. the start of the maiden voyage of the new luxury ocean- streamliner, Sewickley Metropolis. There on the bridge we see her builder, Harold Maruca, and standing next to him her sponsor, Rear Admiral John Gormly. The flying officer with the binoculars is Captain Halley Willison. You remember he command- ed the First U. S. Squadron of rocket planes designed by Robert Kretzler, aerodynamic engineer at the Carl Reel aircraft construction works. On his right stands the ship's captain. John Parry Andrews, in company with his officers, including radio operator Fred Way. and navigator Thomas Walker at the wheel. Also present are some important civilians. Arguing vehemently with the ambassador from Siam we see the linguist, John Robinson, and next to him Chal Schuette, president of the International Audubon Society. The one with the big black book and absent-minded look is Arthur Barnes, who has explained to the world at large, in simple terms, the meaning of the Einstein theory. The fellow with the scowl on his face is the experimentalist, William McLean. It seems that he is somewhat dis- turbed because capitalist Joseph Hite, the chief financial backer of the Sewickley Metropolis, refused to accept his atomic motor as a power- plant for the ship. And look! there's a woman on the bridge! It's Commander Dorothy Kaufman, national director of the WAVES. A woman on the bridge! tch-tch! But she's in uniform, so where can you draw the line? And look there on the foredeck-Evelyn Bishoff, the first woman explorer ever to reach the North Pole. She seems to be arguing politics with Senator Iris Hinkley from Pennsylvania. Martha Lutz, powerful lobbyist for Women Wage Earners, puts in a word now and then. There leaning on the toprail we see a group of more women adventurers. There's Ruth Cook, wealthy globe-trotter and seeker for new worlds, and beside her the star acrobat, Barbara Ford, who has toured Europe and America with P. T. Barnum and Co. Counting from right to left you see Dorothy Young, world's only woman deep sea diver, Jeanne Wright, twice winner of the Irish Sweepstakes, Hazel Wharrey, a hostess on the Miami-to-Rio de Janeiro submarine line, and Martha Heuler, racing pilot, being interviewed by Anna Smith, solicitor for Lucky Field cigarettes. By the way, did you know that Emma Muse is now radio auctioneer for Lucky Fields? Fannie Smith has been the singing star on that pro- gram. Let's take a look at A deck and see if we can identify some of the distinguished people there. I think the girl in slacks is draftswoman Ruth Hegner, who helped to design the ship. Yes, I see she's debating some fine points in construction with industrialist Sam Stafford and his secretary, Mary Lois Luzadre. Do you see that group by the capstan--quite a party of intellectuals? Mathematician Rosa Craig for one. She seems to be quoting out of a log book to economics teacher Helen Harris and William Gilliam, Latin professor at Washing- ton University. The tall muscular man with the faraway look is the celebrated philosopher James Carpenter. And edging up there for a candid shot I see studio cameraman Robert Harris. There seems to be some excitement over at the swimming pool, so let's go take a look-- and my, what a look! Did you see that swan dive Sarah Waite just finished? Since her in- struction under Dr. Joan Smith she has become the national long-distance swimming stunt champion. By the way, there's Dr. Smith now, sitting at a table with another circle of masterminds. There's Cecilia Sacco, one time peace worker in Japan, historian Thomasina Mendicino, whose textbooks are used in schools all over the country, including old SHS, and radio script writer Mary Toia. Mary works exclusively for Helen Getz. authority on the new bookkeeping system. Speaking of SHS, I see some more of her alumni climbing out of the pool now. There -playboy Morris Merriman has just pushed Stewart Lescallette back into the water. Merri- man made his millions in oil and Dr. Lescal- lette, veterinarian, is taking a vacation after he and Bio-Chemist Rita Thieret Hgured out a successful way to mend the broken legs of horses. Dorothy McCrea, New York Commis- sioner of Zoos, has said that the system could be used on larger animals as well. I see Nellie Shaffer is trying to hold a dramatic pose with a rubber ball for sculptress Dorothy Skiles, who is trying to do her work in wet sand. I don't think she'll get very far with it, espe- cially with Elaine Morrisey splashing her like that. But Nellie has certainly gotten far with her flower growing. She has made it a regu- lar industry, having bred three new types of orchids. And Elaine is author of Social Chit Chat, a syndicated column in the New York Daily Blast. You recall she recently ran a scoop on the famous penthouse murder case which was finally solved by private detec- tive Frank Walker. And look up at the fore-mast-that's no sailor up there in the crow's nest. It's artist Margaret Best. She is making a sketch of photographer Thomas Jer-man in the other crow's nest on the main mast.
