The eye was first drawn to the center of the room where a Maypole spread its bright streamers encompassing the whole scene. Sprays of lovely dogwood branches adorned the walls. And everywhere Japanese lanterns added eye-catching colorful highlights. The main large room of the hall was full of card tables and chairs for the luncheon which was a bit of a change. Usually the luncheon is served and eaten in the dining room. But this year the dining room tables were used for the white elephant, plant and bake sale items for both clubs. The luncheon itself was also a change of pace from the usual ham or chicken that so often winds up on the menu each year. In keeping with the rather oriental decorations, the food followed along the same lines. A casserole of rice, nuts, meat and topped with Chinese noodles was accompanied by a sweet and sour meat and vegetable sauce served over white rice. Relishes of many varieties completed the main meal. After all these goodies were devoured along with plenty of coffee and tea, the plates were picked up and a simple dessert of orange Jello and orange sections accompanied by Chinese fortune cookies completed the luncheon. The centerpieces for all the tables were created by Sybill Gillette (Thora Seward's sister-in-law from the Pioneer area). She utilized small pieces of driftwood, or huckleberry and manzaneta root, shells, artificial flowers, etc., to make some exquisite decorations for bach table plus some extras to sell. While the island gals were putting the last-minute touches on the luncheon the guests were given a list of song titles then instructed to go to the side walls of the main room of the hall where numerous pictures were taped to said walls. The pictures were numbered and the gals were to match the song titles to the most appropriate picture. Following the luncheon the entertainment portion of the day got underway. And what entertainment that turned out to be. As all the nearly 70 gals present can certainly attest to. Ella McAuliffe entered to serve as mistress of ceremonies for the program entitled "Remember When.'" Incidentally, most of the costumes from the era of the Roaring Twenties were created and designed by the gals in the program. Ella's red outfit was just super. The first number of the program was Colleen Judd singing Memory Lane. Next the singing group consisting of Colleen Judd, Shirl Larson, Helen Olson and Ethel Rigney sang "That Old Gang of Mine." Then while the group was singing "Side by Side," Colleen Judd and Beth Miner did an excellent tap dance. Following this the singing group sang "Ma, lie's Kissing Me," while Ethel Rigney dressed for the boy part and Beth Miner done up in ruffles for the girl's oncar 125 North 5th clu part pantomimed the song. Then the audience was invited to join in singing "Somebody Stole My Gal" and "Bye-Bye Blackbird." Next Shirl Larson and Kay Braget did a dance routine while the remaining three gals sang "Me and My Shadow." Once again the audience was asked to join in a sing along on "The Good Old Summertime" and "I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now." Next Orvaline Olds and Kay Braget came on stage and did a dance rendition of "Ballin' the Jack." Next Helen Olson entered to do a parody of the tune, "Among My Souvenirs." But her song was entitled "Among My Chiffoniers" which was a lament of a man not being able to find a collar button. The climax was the group singing "Yes Sir, That's My Baby," while Maude Porter did a Charleston. The grand finale was the gals singing a parody to 'Good Night Ladies. The parody advised them to take their loot and head for the sale tables in the dining room. And to think all that talent has been lurking around this island all this time. But it just took the right gals to uncover all of it and get it pointed in the right direction. And, I'm sure, all the gals that have performed for the Christmas program and now the Pickering program will all agree that the gal who deserves the huge bouquet for being the talent scout and director-per- former all rolled into one is the new islander of one year, Shirl Larson. How lucky we all are that she and her husband, Gordon, chose to move out west and found Harstine Island all the way from Pennsylvania. She may have retired from being a professional actress, but we are all sure happy she wants to keep her finger in her former profession, even if she has to put up with such virgin talent. And lest we forget to give credit where credit is due, the following gals very ably manned the committees for Thursday as loln me follows: food committee, Colleen Judd, Doris Jacobson, Dorothy Eno and Elsie Ness; decorating committee, Beulah Hitchcock, Helen Olson, Lila Peugh and Helen Lammers; entertainment committee, Shirl Larson, Beth Miner, Ethel Rigney and Maud Porter; and last, but not least, Eileen Cruickshank and Annie Yates were in charge of the sale tables. May 18 is the date of the regular May grange meeting here on the island. The time is 7:30 p.m. We'll be looking forward to reports from the group of Harstine Grangers that attended the friendship meeting out at Skokomish last Friday evening. This reporter was invaded by ten fourth-grade girls and missed both the friendship meeting and the community club meeting that same night at the hall. After the slumber party that spilled out of Lisa's room into the hall, Saturday morning finally arrived which seemed like a ing las mighty long, giggly night. Lisa's big event, her first piano recital, was scheduled for 10:30 a.m. at the Larson home. With all the girls and the two sets of grandparents, the Dale Peughs and the Stan Yates, the morn and the dad, plus Joe Glaser (Joe and Glenn were working together) and Mary Bengelsdorf who was down to do some more clearing on his property, the big event got underway. Unfortunately a surprise guest, Sandra Yaeger, Lisa's teacher and I didn't get together on the place of the recital and she came over to the island to surprise Lisa but although she found the Yates' home, she didn't know where the recital was being held and gave up when she found no one home at the Yates' house. After Lisa completed several songs she and her friends twisted Kathy Goldby's arm to go to the piano to play several numbers. The girls sang several parodys to some popular songs that raised some adult eyebrows to say the least. After the piano recital was over all the gals headed back for the beach. Later they enjoyed a picnic on Grandma Lila and Grandpa Dale's beach. That was followed by birthday cake and homemade ice cream. Saturday evening this mona had everyone throw all their belongings plus the driftwood and shells they had collected into the back of our pickup and set off to deliver everyone home. All I have to say is the two most popular items of the two days was food and bath towels, and they both took about equal priority. Sunday afternoon we had a pleasant surprise when Jewel Doering (a former island gal) and her family popped in by boat for a visit and picnic supper. They were out on their summer retreat on Longbranch on Sunday and brought their boat so they could cruise over for a visit. Deputy Frederick W. Hadden was born in =1= i __= = = FREDERICK W.
