early Friday and usually isn't fin.
ished until just few hours before
the dinner Saturday.

After the guests have arrived, the
hustle and hustle shifts to the
kitchen and pantry, where a corp.
of cooks has struggled all day pre-

the dinner.
To keep things running smoothly

Youngest Officer.
At 81, Mr.. Guide is the youngest
officer of the Board of Trade. He's
the secretary. And like his fellow
officer, First Vice President James
E. CollifoWer, he has a notable ath-
letic background.
Mr.. Guide was born and raised in
the Petworth section, and, as a
youngster, was one of the most ac-
tive sandlotters in his neighbor-
hood At the old Mckinley Tech
High School at Seventh and Rhode
Island avenue, Mr.. Guide established
an enviable athletic record.
There, he was a four-sport man,
amassing big collection of "Circle
rs" in baseball, basket ball and
football. He was a member of the
track team, too, but never received
letter in that sport. AS a senior
at Tech, he was president of the
