The goal of the Oakland Hoo-Hoo Club No. 39 has finally been reached ! The Claremont Hotel in Berkeley was completely saturated by good fellowship Friday, May 14, when over 600 lumbermen from all parts of Northern California, and some from Oregon and Washington, swarmed to the Claremont Hotel to make up the biggest and best Reveille yet. Dining room facilities and other accommodations were filled to the peak, and some late-to-dinner boys actually got a break when they couldri't find a place to eat in the Salem Room-these fellorvs had their dinner in the Claremont's main dining room, complete with dinner music.

The Reveille day had its beginning at the exclusive Claremont Golf and Country Club in Oakland. A record turnout of Reveille golfers ( 110 members and guests) played the Claremont course for all it was .ivorth, and when the day was through, Kermit Knoble ended up with the perpetual trophy to grace his mantel until the next Reveille Tournament. Herb Farrell had charge of the Tournament and also presented the prizes to the winners. Art Grey copped first prize and received a caddy cart for his efforts. Ralph Lamon followed rvith second prize and received a sand wedge for his score. Norm Miller, Bob Cheim, John Gordon, Bill Bonnell, Wayne Rawlings, Bill Boeteger, Bill Fraser, Bob Macfie, Del Travis, Fred Ziese, John Jenswold and Louis Martinez all won golf balls for their excellent showing. Herb Farrell scored the tournament by the Callaway System.

At 6:39 p.m., everyone congregated at the Claremont Hotel for the proverbial cocktail hour, whi.ch marked the kickoff for the gala evening. Following an excellent steak dinner, tl.re attendance listened to President Bob Hogan deliver the address of welcome and express his thanks to the visitors, the sponsors, to his hard working committeemen and epecially to Al Kelley, General Chairman for the 22nd Annual Oakland Reveille, for making the event such a success.

Al Kelley then introduced Ollie O'Toole, master of ceremonies for the occasion, ryho unleashed a lot of good, fast moving entertainment for the next two hours. The Colleens, lovely ladies of song, were the first on, followed by John Molinari, virtuoso of the accordian. Haskel and Company, shorvmanship in make believe, were the next to appear, and then Ford and Harris, the harlem madcaps, entertained the group. Ollie O'Toole then proceeded to keep the attendance in stitches with his comedy novelties and The Colleens again appeared for the finale. There was a show high jinks after the show, which boasted a large attendance.

The follorving gentlemen were .chairmen of the various committees that rnade the preparations for the Reveille, and thus guaranteed its success-and also that feeling you had Saturday morning: Al Kelley, General Chairman ; Chris Sechrist, Banquet Committee; Bill McCubbin, Publicity Committee; Don O'Brien and Craig Gaffney, Reception Committee; Joe Pepetone, Ticket Committee; Bob Meyer, Entertainment Committee; Ralph Hill, Finance Committee; "Sky" Lewis, Program. Committee; Herb Farrell, Golf Committee; Frank Timmers. Reservation Committee; and Ev Lewis, Secretary-Treasurer (the fellow who gets to do all of the bookkeeping and straightening of affairs a{ter everything is over).
