HARSTINE - As the guests
entered the hall they were greeted
by a most colorful setting for the
day's festivities. 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.
