beauty of his costume creations. Mr. Oliver shouted orders to the stage hands to raise the curtain, with a flourish from the orchestra, the play began. As the scenes passed, the emotions of the aud- ience rose and fell. Toward the middle of the play, the consuming love scenes cap- tivated the audience completely. The play came to a close, followed by twelve curtain calls. After the play was over, the entire class of 1951 of St. Bernard's held a reunion party at Mr.Arthur Ward's fashionable Fifth Avenue penthouse. This gentleman had become Chairman of the Board for Electronics Universal, and an angel for many a dramatic production. He had grown fabulously rich. His wife was the former opera diva, Princess Hortense. She was now the hostess of this class reunion and captivated each and every one by her charm, her beauty and her decor. Arthur reminded his comrades of '51, of the old days by running his fingers over the con- cert grand piano that stood in the living room. They learned that Mr. Ward, between business engagements, gave concerts before distinguished audiences throughout the world. Mr. Kerr was quite at home in the luxurious surroundings. He, too, had ac- quired a fortune through his world-wide plastic and synthetic rubber industries. Father Perkins, home on furlough from his African Equatorial Mission, expatiated on the importance of that continent for the future of Christian civilization. In- stinctively, every man present in that penthouse wrote generous cheques for the building of Christian schools, churches, hospitals and clinics under the direction of the Rev. Jay Thomas Perkins. Dinner was served and the festivities continued until the light blue of the dawn changed into tints of red, whereupon, the fabulous and romantic class of 1951 dispersed. ll'9l
