Ne2O Secretary Of Senate
Is GiUeu Dinner Pay1v
Carl A. Loeffler Honored
Bv Group of Close Friends

Real friendship is a wonderful
thing, for out of it grows many
pleasant moments that are never
forgotten. And friendship was the
very reason for the dinner party last
evening honoring Carl A. Loef1er
the new secretary of the Senate.
He always will remember the eve
ming that II of his closest and most
intimate acquaintances got together
in the Queen Elizabeth room Of the
Raleigh Hotel so that they person.
ally could express their pride over
his appointment to this responsible
position.
Mr.. Loeffier knew that the dinner
was being given for him and was
told that he could even make a
speech, provided it was limited to
five minutes. But what he didn t
know was that Earl D. Chesney had
done six color cartoons depicting the
high lights of the honor guests ca
reer; that Leslie L. Bif1e, whom Mr..
Loefier replaced, was going to pre-
sent him with a parchment scroll
signed by every one present, and
that as a final surprise, an extra
edition of the Lock Haven Express
would be distributed among the
guests.
The cartoons were hung on the
walls of the Queen Elizabeth room.
Mr.. Loefder was appointed page in
the Senate in 1889 and one of the
cartoons shows him when ne was
made telephone page after the first
telephone on the Senate side was in
stalled The newspapers had been
printed by the Lock Haven Express
in Lock Haven. Pa, where Mr..
Loeffler maintains a voting resi-
dence, and they were distributed by
the guest of honors personal page,
Risque Harper, and House page Lee
Thomas of Lock Haven. The extra
edition will be sent out in Lock
Haven tomorrow with the regular
paper.
1t definitely was a gay gathering,
with a limitation on speeches and
no restriction on "close harmony, y
and the usual honey atmosphere
that prevails at this location was
by no means lacking last evening.
A sirloin steak dinner, the perennial
favorite for all stag dinners, was
served.
Other guests present, in addition
to Mr.. Loeffier, Mr.. Bif1e and Mr..
Chesney, were Mr.. c. c. McClaine
and Mr.. H. Richard Josephson, sons
in-law of the guest of honor, and

There was nothing Ginny Storm
wanted more than q theatrical ca
reer. 70 her, the theatre was not
only a profession. 1t was a
religion. She planned her whole
life around the assurance that she
would one day be Americas lead

Ginny lived and they allowed Gni-
ny and some Of her ambitious
friends to become students for a
slight fee.
Ginny'S experience was all wish
full thinking and tricks she had
been clever enough to pick up at
the movies. Though she was Sc
cretly convinced that she had more
talent than the girls who played
the leads, she was satisfied to
spend the summer painting seen
cry, upholstering furniture, and
watching excitedly from the side
lines at others acted and bathed
in the applause.
At the end of the season, my
friends decided to give some OF
the students break by allowing
them secondary parts in the final
production. Ginny was one OF the
chosen few. My visit with the
group conceded with the rehear-
sails. One night after a partlcu-
iarly late rehearsal, all of US went
down to the lake for a midnight
swim. This provided my first OPP
portunity to talk with Ginny.

ture plans. ;,
