---------------------------------------------------------------------- PAGE 16 SHANGRI-LA ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "You wonder who that tall, dynamic-looking guy at the head of the table is? Well, my dear, Martian, THAT is our director, Walter Daugherty. The man who, with his indefatigueable energy, is putting new life blood into the organization. That thin face hides a wealth of ideas and the lean body possesses the energy to put them across. He has a large circle of friends and is doing his best to get them interested in science fiction. He slaves nine hours a day, and six days a week, for North American Aircraft, but likes his work intensely and takes it very seriously. He is a versital character, having the good fortune of being able to do most anything....." "That cherubic, stocky fellow next to him is the other half of LASFS's wit, Inc. -- Mr. T. Bruce Yorke. Mr. Yorke writes minutes as no other has ever written them or ever will write them, or for that matter,- ever can write them! When he's really in form he practically turns the place into a bedlam of laughter. He is still in school, but you will be hearing of him in the near future....." "That well-built fellow beside him is Russ Hodgkins, number two fan of terra. Yes, he probably got these cheaters from reading too much science-fiction .... His interests are many and varied. Sweetness and Light, the Esquire of science fiction, is his publication---and what a publication! He is also an active Technocrat. Maybe you can tell him something about that. That's what you have on Mars, isn't it? (I might add, that Bradbury and Yorke are also deeply interested in the movement.) Russ was on his way to building up a nice little business of his own, but has deserted it, apparently, in favor of eight hour a day slavery at North American....." "You notice that empty chair between Russ and Mr. Brady? Well, that's me--only I'm not there--which brings us to Mr. Brady, with his blonde, hair and chubby face. He is from Beverly Hills, and is still in school....." "That brown haired, dark eyed girl next to him is Pogo....Yes, I know you've heard of hear......She's been an active member for a number of years. She is now a private secretary in a prominent tile company." The quiet looking gentleman seated next to her is Paul Freehafer from, Payette, Idaho. Paul is attending college at Pasadena and plays in the college band. He is the able editor of Polaris, and a heck of a swell fellow....." "Well, I guess that's all that's here tonight. Make yourself visible, and follow me old chap....." "Hello, gang, I'd like to introduce a scientifiction pal of mine--from Mars........"
