P E P-O-G RAMS Page Three SCENE ALL SET FOR SPECTACULAR OUTING Saturday s Exodus to Indian Point will be Unforgettable One of the most recent Picnic notices to be distributed by Entertainment Committee Chairman prior to tonight’s general meeting of the Club, carried the following. "We have just received advice from the Hudson River Day Line that they arc compelled to limit the number of passengers on the Peter Stuyvesant on Saturday, June 16th, to 1,500 people. Under the circumstances it becomes necessary for us to discontinue the issuance of additional tickets, and zoo specifically request who are unable to use their tickets to please return them to Mr. Carl Clausen in the Cashier’s Department, and not to distribute them to other members in the organization.” Mr. Diamond specifically requests that this announcement be regarded in the light of a matter of importance, and that those members who will not be going to the Pic LASKY APPOINTS BUTLER EXECUTIVE MANAGER, PARAMOUNT LONG ISLAND STUDIO Jesse L. Lasky, first vice-president in charge of production, has appointed John W. Butler executive manager the Paramount Long Island studio which has been re-opened for the production of pictures with sound accompaniment. Mr. Butler has been associated with Paramount for the past eight years serving the company in various executive positions in the business administration departments. A MESSAGE FROM MEL Just before he sailed away on the Leviathan j at the end of last month, Melville A. Shatter sent this message to the members of the Paramount Pep Club : I wish to take this opportunity of thanking Pep-o-Grams for the most generous and courteous treatment which I have received at its hands. I think it is only human that I should take up duties in foreign fields with a light heart as to the new tasks and prospects before me, but with a heavy heart as to the location so many miles from the sincere friends who expressed their good wishes through PepO-Grams. I shall try my best to be a reasonably good correspondent, though I could never expect to give to Pep-O-Grams what I get out of it. No individual could do that. I trust I shall be on your mailing list. My thanks and best wishes to the Pepsters always. Au revoir. (Sgd.) Mel. A. Shauer. nic should make every effort to return their tickets at the earliest moment. To hold onto a ticket you are not going to use means that you are depriving some ether person of a day’s outing. Only thoughtlessness would make you do this. It is our particular pleasure to point out the fact that Lou Diamond has worked with well-nigh herculean energy to make this outing a success. It is a vast task and requires more organization and imagination than most members credit. But Lou has set a certain standard of achievement for the Club’s sake, and the members are going to contribute to that achievement by having the grandest time of their lives. One other announcement worthy of making at this time is that all of the important details regarding the sports and other arrangements at Indian Point will be incorporated in a special Picnic Edition of PepO-Grams, which will be distributed to you on board the Peter Stuyvesant. The details will then be fresher in your minds, and you will better know something of how you are going to spend the day. ANNOUNCING THE KRAZY KAT KUPS This is a preliminary announcement of the fact that the Mintz Boys who create the Paramount Krazy K.at Kartoorts — Charles B. and Nat L.. — have added wonderful zest to the Picnic Sports by presenting two massive and valuable cups for open competition. One cup will go to the male Pepster who scores the most points in the sporting events, and the other to the female Pepster who tops the list. Both cups, accompanied by other details, will appear in reproduction in the special Picnic issue of Pep-O-Grams which will be distributed to you on the steamer next Saturday morning, en route to Indian Point. PLEASE SIGN YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS The editor is constantly receiving contributions which carry not the slightest evidence of the writer’s identity. Many of these find their way into the wastepaper basket because of the fact that they contain details worthy of questioning, and it is not possible for this questioning to be done. Henceforth, no item will be entertained for publication unless it carries the name of the writer. If you don’t want your name, as the writer, to appear in print please say so. But the name must be on the slip — or the slip goes the way of all rejections. That’s fair enough ! —THE EDITOR. Lou Diamond those members
