6 O CLASS PROPHECY O EXTRA I I EXTRA I I WASHINGTON SOCIETY ENJOYS WINTER CARNIVAL MT. HOOD CRATER SCENE OF FESTIVITIES The greatest social event of the year occurred this weelc when the most prominent people in the world piled their smart luggage and sport-things into their roadsters and town-cars and airplanes, sped up to Mt. Hood Crater, and prepared to spend their time enjoying the winter carnival at this famous resort. The busiest and most gracious hostesses were the great stage actress, Marjorie Roth and Maryanna Miller, the Head of the Miller Pep School, who entertained more than a hundred guests at their mansions. The first arrivals were Maxine Amacher, Carl Axelson, Norma Bell, and Earl Simonson. Guests drove up continuously, and the two houses were humming with excitement. Albert Ericlcson and Fran Lewis were seen tobogganing and Fran's giggles and screams could be heard clearly. Darwin Poyfair, Pauline Pruner, Elinor Rabehl, Dorothy Ford, William Hurl, and Bill Wakefield, who were standing around a cheerful open fireplace, were soon joined by Fred Sanders and Bob Wiren, who had just Finished a snow-shoe hike. This group was brolcen up by the arrival of Hilda Burghardt, Leona Leonard, Suzanna Krettler, Roma McFarland, Spencer Cole, Edward Maas, Stanley Edlcins and Herb Hiatt. These guests piled and scrambled out the big cable-cars which had been invented by the famous genius, Sprague Burdin. The Roth Ice Palace was crowded with such famous slcaters as Helen Niclcachiou, Geneva Noble, Donald Reifsnyder, Morley Huff, James Harrison, Rilca Eizema, and Joanna Eizema. Adelbert Closterman got too near a thin spot in the ice, so the ice-slcating was dis- rupted and everyone decided to eat dinner and then dress for the Masquerade Ball which had been planned for the evening's entertainment. Billy Brownfield and Welland Howard volunteered to do the serving, as they had had so much experience in class plays. Paul McGrath was also persuaded to do so though with much reluctance. After the feast every one donned his costume and assembled in the palatial ball room where Ed Weiss' Snappy Snowballs rendered popular selections for the masqueraders. The talented orchestra was composed of the following musicians: Franlc Amerata, Gordon Killiam, Roy Elmgren, Lewis Stewart, Don Wood, Bob Hunt, and George Cunningham. Bob Kehres favored the guests with a number of his own compositions which are lcnown throughout the world. Among the gayly dressed dancers were Lois Fox, Don Ormsby, the automobile manufacturer, Earl Kidd, Evelyn Ogilvie, who had just returned from Spain, Leonard Heller, Margaret Knox, Jimmy Garber, and Dorothy Groves. The judges, Ned Stauffer, Walter Ogilvie, Phyllis Matthews, and Evelyn Schmurr, awarded the prizes for the best costumes to the smartest model in the famous Francaise Gown Shoppe, Maryalice Wisdom, who was dressed as an angel with silver wings and to Secretary of the Treasury, Fred Dupuis, who wore a scarlet devil outfit. 0 Page 29 0 0

O CLASS .PROPHECY O O The great professor, Gordon Raney, and the millionairess, Marylou Onstad, won the prize dance. Don Greenwood then caused Elizabeth Caldwell, Dean of Women at Vassar, and Marion Driggs, Beauty Expert, to disappear, but suddenly his magic failed him, with the result that a searching party was organized to find the two girls. They were finally discovered hidden high in a tree along with a big chocolate calce which also had mysteriously disappeared. The magician was promptly taken out and thrown into a snowdrift. l-lelen Smith sang a few numbers, until she was interrupted by Jim Simmons, the great lawyer, who characteristically began a heated argument with the clever actress, Margaret Turner, about Hwhence? why? and whither'? . Before the debate could be settled, a loud whirring was heard and suddenly the roof crashed inl When the lights were again turned on, the guests found Phyllis Emery sitting in the middle of the ballroom in what was once her aeroplane. No one was seriously hurt, and the guests all hurried over to the Miller home where the merrymalcing was resumed. The next morning everyone watched the slding tournament. Among the participants were Fred Beardsley, John Boentje, Milton Foland, and Leonard Frohwerlc. The attempts of Bill Moores, Bill Hood, and Monroe McMahill ended in disaster and the sports had to be dragged out of a snowdrift feet first. Snowball warfare was being carried on, with l'lazel Allmon, Gladys Anderson, Mary Durham, Valerie Ellingen on one side and Virginia Smith, Carolyn Gage, Eileene Jaclcson, Louise Webb, and Mar- jorie Woodward on the other. Virginia Sheets, well lcnown tennis player, was sliding down a hill on a tin dish pan. Vivian Widmer and Nora Thomson got a thrill out of the big toboggan and were seen on it frequently. Florence l-larrison, Melissa Deaver, and Barbara Brund had built a huge snowman, but Charles Chapman, Donald Brownlee, and Milce Ventrella charged it and the snowman was no more. Just then a big sleigh, drawn by horses, sped past with bells jingling. ln it were l-larriet Cashner of the Cashner Gum Corporation and Virginia Shaw, the famous Latin teacher. Eloise Broclc and Barbara Burras were in the baclc seat wrapped in gay blanlcets and loolcing very cozy. Barbara was trying to memorize her part in a new play to be presented in New Yorlc in March. Elizabeth Naylor and Mary Ventrella went dashing by on their sled drawn by six huge Eslcimo dogs. They were racing with Karl Koch and Duane Dulce. Eleanor Pollitt was telling stories to the group of orphans she had brought up with her. Most of her time was spent keeping them from falling into glaciers, as was their habit. Larry McDowell was seen all tangled up in a pair of slcis and a blanlcet which Jimmy Black had tossed over him. Lorne Rife, Earl Pagni, and Milce Matich began throwing snowballs at Ellis Coolc, who had parlced himself on a hilltop and was yodeling his head off. Lorraine Knapp and Charlotte Curl braved the icy coldness and were swimming in the pool. Olivine George and Paul Wienelce were on Snowshoes, tramping through the hills. Just then Edward f-luffschmidt drove up in his snappy O O Page 30 6
