One clear, bright June evening, as we are proceeding in a kelly green taxi to attend the gala ball on board the new ocean lines '68, we are astonished to note that the driver is none other than the successor to Mad Man Muntz, Earl Turner. Yes, it is the year 1968. This is the year when historians will need extra secretaries in order to keep up on the lists of supercolossal events. Much is expected of the world's people and right in the thick of things, pitching at all times, are the former members of the class of '48, Well, let's go aboard and look around this magnificent liner. When Shenton Shipyards, Inc., designed and built this liner, they didn't omit a single detail. Included in the list of wonderful details are ultra-modern eighty-eights, Joe Del Signore. The gathering has been graced by the attendance of Frankie Jewett and his silent partner, John Flubacher. We see Frank brought along three of his agency's best looking models, Juanita Bazter, Zeena Dennis, and Nancy Marshall. All of these girls are appearing in Bill Hunt's Fandels of 1968. This open house has attracted the tops in the business world. Editor Dick Pike of the Port Schuyler Daily Blow, IS here with his charming secretary, Bunny Paluck. The current president of the A.A.A., Ken Johnson, is in attend- ance. From here it looks as if President Johnson is attempt- mg to sell tickets to some future event. The owner of the Ding Dong Dude Ranch just breezed in dining rooms, fully equipped gyms, spacious theaters and a beautiful cocktail lounge. This rocket liner has everything the obsolete Queen Elizabethuhad, plus a few things the old Queen didn't have. Connoisseur of the beautiful lounge room is Ned De Sorrento. Ned claims he can concoct any mixture under the sun. Some of his concoctions will put you under, too. The entertainment in the lounge room is tops. Booked for the entire cruise is Bob Beare's new swing band, the Scat- terbrainsf' His array of talent includes Hot Lips Mc- Andrews on the sax and lanky Franklin Robetor handling the clarinet. Bob's singer is that new sensation of cafe society, the nightingale--Joe Cornell. Al-so booked to pro- vide entertainment is that popular piano duo- Mrs. Bee- thoven herself, Louise Mgurdichian, and the master of the C ASS minus the horses for once. Maybe you didn't know it but owner Gert Moore has the largest dude ranch in the West. Sportswriter Bob Rubino is here with some little sport of his own. We hear Bob keeps pretty much to himself these days. Evidently he decided to give the society debs a break and attend tonight. Speaking of debutants, we see several of New York's cream-of-the-crop here. Among those seated nearby with their chaperones, we see petite Diane Carofano, charming Helen McMann, beautiful Evelyn Webster, cute Marie Jen- sen, and fun-loving Mary Felack. Miss America of 1968, Eleanor Paley, is charming a select group at a corner table. Nearby is Hollywood's newest star character-actor, Sal Tedesco, being haunted as usual by
