Q ,u m Q A ILL A AMS FESTIVA Celebration of the annual Will Adams Festival brought the Eversole to the beautiful resort-town lto, Japan on Tuesday, August 9, 1961. A large gathering of Japanese was on hand to greet us and general visiting by the Japanese occupied much of the first day. Those who did not visit remained ID town to watch the Ito All-Stars defeat a team of Eversole and Kyes sailors 13-10 in a hard fought baseball game. The second day events were somewhat dampened by the threat of a near-by typhoon. The Eversole's l 30 well-trained drill team never got to perform as most of the day's events were cancelled. As ususal, the typoon went the other way and a sunny sky greeted lto on the third day of our visit. General visiting was resumed and we even had swim call in the afternoon. We sailed on August 12 bound for Kobe. All hands agreed, Let's come back to lto again. We made many friends in lto for Uncle Sam, naturally, we filled a few pages in our little black books.
