A -as..- - f is 's or I 'fr Ai:i f'ffffQffQi T' f.Y I A DAY IN Tl-IE BY JEFF MEESEY As I visited Chan Foriner lseniorj in the hospital. Sept. 12, I peered through the window. Chan had been therefor the last 1 1 days and he was bored. With only a radio, a TW and occasional visitors, I would have been equally as bored He had watched the Cardinals demolish the New York Mets, 8-1, on national television. The victory gave the Cards a two-and-one-half game lead over the team from the Bzg Apple. On such a sunny Saturday it seemed like everyone wanted to be out eryoying the weather, but some people had other responszbilities. Some volunteered, as I did, to work in booths at the Greentree Festival. The youth group from the Kirkwood United Church of Christ ran a lemonade stand, the oldest at the festival At 2:30, Eddie Saunders fseniorj and I had to work at the dunking booth At first there was little dunking action. Then we spied Cleaver Taylor lseniorj in the distance. We knew everyone would want to dunk M him, even the freshmen joined in. Around dinnertime, Eddie and I decided to get some food Sara Brotcke and Tina Browman ljuniorsj came with us. I had been walking barefoot all day. I put my shoes on the ground and walked off and left them when I went to talk to Julie Straka Wisitation senior! and Laurze Switzer lseniorj. Sara and Tina, being the tricksters they were, took my shoes. I thought my shoes had been stolen,4and I offered rewards for their return. Then I saw the culprits laughing hysterically at me, and I finally realized what had happened. At home, the front page of the newspaper caught my eye. Pope John Paul II was in Columbia, SC, on the second day of his 10-day United States tour. Turning to the lighter news in the Everyday section, I learned that the longest monopoly game ever played on the back of a firetruck lasted four days and five hours. Anyway, I looked through the rest of the news- paper and chuckled at Blondie which showed Dag- wood in his bathtub. He had a radio, a sandwich and a towel. The only thing he had forgotten was the soap. At least no one had stolen his soap.
