ss The history of our Club 46 started in 1934. The celebrities who visited us in that year who are here tonight are Bill King, Audrey Light, Kneeland Light, Claude Luekens, Phyllis Myers, Bob Ohman, John Sinden, Bob Ralston and LuEtta Squire—later changed to LuEtta Outsen. For the first several years after our opening we had some minor troubles such as Kneeland’s and Claude’s continual fighting and Audz'ey’s incessant drawing pink cars on our tablecloths. In our second year, when asked about his future vocation, Bob Ohman re- plied that he wanted to be a private in the army so he would not have to do any work. In 1937 we had three other distinguished visitors added to our list—Barbara Poulson, Merle Bristol and Eddie Jean Barnes. On our quiz program in that year, John Sinden was asked what the three states of water were. His unhesitating reply was—Wash- ington, Oregon, and California. Today he received a request to be a guest star on Information Please. Ralph Selch heard of our club in Utah so he joined us and was evidently pleased because he is still with us. In our fifth year of continual success, we published a bulletin on our more outstanding accomplishments. One of our distinguished visitors honored us by writing a poem for this bulletin. This poem has made her the greatest poet of all time and now, we will be favored by hearing Audrey Light read—for the first time in public—her masterpiece “Celery.” Thank you, Miss Light. Our success continued and in 1940, at the beginning of our seventh year, Rolland Johnston entered. That was the year we were approved as a second rate club. During the following two years we had two outstanding parties under the supervision of Miss Anderson. Rolland withdrew from the club, but renewed his membership toward the end of the next year. In 1942 we graduated from second class to first class. During that year, the famous visitors of our club were: Dale Bostock, Thelma Cook, Betty Helm, Wilma Hitchens, Bill Moms, Walter Price and Nellie Mae Twite. The next year we were honored by visits from Claude Gabbett and John Elliott. Phyllis Myers and Audrey Light went on a business trip for one year and failed to visit our club at all during that year They just missed meeting Esther Howe, Verna Rose Johannbroer, Irene Ostrander, and Dorothy Wegeman, who were just entering Along with the return of Audrey and Phyllis in the fall of 1945, came Boyd Keefer, Gene Miller and Betty Ralston to join our happy throng. Lloyd Williams and Henry Etzler were taken into the service toward the end of the year so they were unable to be here tonight. We are gathered here this evening to celebrate the 12th anni- versary of Club 46 and its approval by the class.
