Life on the High Seas Described
As Active, Complete and Satisfying
Exotic ? food, pleasant compan
ions, leisurely living and spritely
conversation—these are the com*
ponents of everyday living enjoyed
to the full by Dr. and Mrs. A.
Holmes Johnson, who are now
travelling the high seas aboard a
Dutch freighter enroute to Trini
dad.
The first leg of their journey is
interestingly described in a letter
from the doctor, who from his
account is enjoying the trip to the
hilt. Well fortified for a journey of
this sort with books, sketching
material, etc., he says he has been
unable to touch them; because of
continual activities aboard ship.
Pleasant companions include
seasoned world travellers, some
Te tired, some still active, from age
7ff down to a young student of 19
years. The doctor says the lost art
*of conversation is being revived.
This runs the gamut from seriou
discussions on world affairs t
humorous remarks “that brin;
down the house.” A man-mad
movie shown apparently didn’
compare with a show put on b:
Mother Nature herself. In Dr
Johnson’s own words, you get i
picture of what took place: “Ther<
was a rain shower last night whih
we slept following a most inter
esting display of sheet and forket
lightening 4>ver~ the coastal motm
tains last evening^ The sunset
h|ve been glorious—ever differen
—ever changing. Last night ther<
were just enough clouds in the sky
to get all of the colors, especially
those of fire, reflected through
out the sky in a glorious phantas
magoria of changing forms an<
shades.”
ut particular appeal to th<
ladies no doubt, is the freedonr

from mundane tasks of cooking,
housework, etc. Again in the doc
' tor’s own words: “We have about
eight Indonesian boys to wait on
table and care for our cabins, and
in fact, to be at our every beck and
5 call. They, as well as the cook, the
5 assistant cook and baker, are
* under the second steward who
* spends all of his time making sure
1 that the passengers are doing what
7 they want to do, and getting all
they want to eat and play, and so
* forth. Not one of us has experienc
' ed such perfect service prior to
this trip. Everything is spotlessly
I clean.” ^
I" Bays and e veilings are made up
; of sunning on deck, watching pass
; ing ships, whales, great turtles,
* flying fish and other wildlife of
r the sea; ping pong; bridge and
' more conversation.
Creature comforts are well taken
- care of, apparently. Food, an im
t portant item on a trip, or at home,
is described in these words: “I can
. not start to describe the food,
L deliciously cooked, often exotic,
from the orient and all countries
—never the same dish twice.” The
traveller promises to go into more
detail later.
Grandpa Goes Wild,
So Dees Audience
“Granddad Goes Wild” was the
title of a play presented by the
Junior class of the Kodiak high
school Friday and Saturday night.
While granddad went wild, a
good sized audience both nights
laughed at the antics of Norman
Saxton as the old gentleman who
hankers to spend his last $500 on
a new kind of rat trap invented
by a hobo known as Horatious
Xexophone Hooley, and as played
by Jim Fritcher.
Fritcher seemed to have con
trol of the situation most of the
time as he met up with high and
low society in the persons of Mrs.
Victoria Harrington (Phyllis Whit
mer), her niece Della Harrington
(Dolly Pullo); Miss Drusilla Dod
ins (Kitty Brooks); Angie (De
lores Gallagher); Mrs. Laura Mor
ton (Edna Anderson); Betty
Shadduck (Melanie Draper); and
Grogan, the cop who attempted to
keep an eye on him (Jack Trent).
Others m the cast were Eddie
Booth, as Jack Norwood; Joyce
White as Jane Woods; and Jerry
Chaffin as Kip Shadduck.
As the lightfingered Hooley
dodges about the living room at
the Morton home, he gives a good
account of himself, as does De
lores Gallagher as the maid, and
Kitty Brooks as the poor relation
with the sniffles, seeking a bed in
an already crowded house.
There isn’t much sleep for any
body in the course of the evening,
including the audience. The latter
is sufficient praise for any play
in the judgement of this review
er.
Directors of the play were Miss
Mary Culver and Miss Geraldine
Hofer who were assisted by Alex
Sturmer.
Each of the two rudders on the
Navy’s newest aircraft carrier
USS Independence, weighs 45 tons
and equals the floor area of a
two bedroom house.
