Laverne Webbink was one of the big surprises of the evening. She appeared in a slinky, svelte number. She had her hair dyed black with a silver streak in it and her glasses had real diamonds in the frames. She said she operated a roulette wheel in Reno and the type costumes she wore had a great effect on the concentration of the players, con- sequently she dressed to divert their attention. Bob Lewis was just what you would expect him to be, a professional basketball player. He was with the colorful and romantic looking San Francisco Dons, during the last two years of his college days. From there he went to the Boston Celtics where he took Bob Cousyrs place. Bob had his own cheering section at each game and we leave you to guess who was the loudest one. The next member of his class to be introduced was Ann Twiehaus. Ann had become quite interested in hypnotism during the Bridey Murphy” epi- sode. She had gone to a spiritualist medium in the city with a group of friends just for fun and while under hypnosis had gone back to several previous lives. She had been a friend of Pocohontas and had helped her save the life of John Smith. Before that she had been one of the favor- ites of Henry VIII before he married Katherine of Aragon. And previous- ly had been a dancer in the court of Kubla Khan when Marco Polo was there She was touring the country with her hypnotist and giving demonstrations of the credibility of the age-regression theory. The last one to be introduced was Charles Schnick, remember he was always the last one to get to school, too. (Of course Charlie really needed no introduction either to his own classmates or to the other alumni). After graduation, Charlie had gassed up his jalopy and started out to see the U.S. He had got as far as California where he stopped to see Rand Brooks. He had liked the atmosphere so much that he had asked for and gotten a job as hostler for Rand and one day when Rand had been unable to appear for work with Hoppy Cassidy and Charlie, being of same coloring and size, was asked to stand in as ’’Lucky”. He was such a nat- ural that he was hired as a regular. From there it was an easy step to such roles as Wild Bill Hickok, Wyatt Earp, Matt Dillon, Sgt. Preston, Jake Pearson, Sky King, and the Range Rider. Remember, Charlie was well versed in the mannerisms of the local constabulary, having had various and sundry contacts witfi Sheriff Paul Wright and Sgt. Plumlee. Charlie had been late arriving at the banquet because he had been giving auto- graphs to wide-eyed boys and gaa-gaa girls. As you might suppose, he had been too busy to have any romantic episodes outside of his roles.
