We boarded ship on July 22 on the coast of Greece. Our captain for the return voyage was Henry Rocco. We were comfortably seated on deck when we noticed two more of our former classmates, Jacqueline Townsend and Juanita Young, who were just returning from a world chess tournament in Moscow. It was a wonderful feeling going home after such a long journey. It was also fun sitting there watch- ing all the countries going by while we, ourselves, stood still on the moving ship. On the right was Greece, Italy, France and Spain; while on the left were Egypt, Libya and Algeria. But the greatest sight was the big gateway to the Mediterranean, the Rock of Gilbraltar with Robert Simon and Donna Armonas standing guard. The most thrilling sight that we saw was, the Statue of Liberty, made us stop and realize that if it werenft for her and what she stands for, we would not have been able to take our trip.

The famous Convent Garden Theatre, located on Bow Street, was of interest to us because the bright lights about us spelled out the name of the famous international theatrical star, Mary Ann Shively. While back- stage we also met Doctor Andrew Okulovich who had completed his study at the Royal College of Surgeons in Lin- coln's Inn Fields. Before leaving London, our guide, Dolores Panko, told us that we simply had to see a cricket game. Going back to the dressing room after the game, we met the star players, Dolores Margraff and Howard Kretzer. We left London by plane at 6:30 a.m. EST after a two-week stay there. Our hostess, Rosemary Romano, directed us to our seats and we were in the air in a matter of seconds. Looking around the plane we recognized Larry Rufin and Effie Vassos. Larry had become quite well- known during the ten years since he had graduated from East High, and we were interested and surprised to find out that he was planning on running for Governor of Ohio in 1964, while Effie was campaigning to be the first lady Senator from the state. While we were discussing these things, our pilots Steve Stoyko and Bettie Osborne came down the aisle to tell us that within the hour we would land in Paris, France. As we took our first steps in Paris, we were met by Shirley Kufrin, who was the American ambassador to France then. She showed us around the city and that night we had dinner at Hotel des Invalides. During the course of our meal, we met Jane Levis, who is now the most distinguished designer of women's clothes in all Paris. Her assistant. Rose Lorenzo, gave us a hint of the new look which was to be an abundance of ermine trim on evening wear. The favorite color combination would be orange and pink, and shoes were to have a low heel of about six inches. At the end of her talk, one of her models, Katherine Lewis, came out with the new look clothes on. We spent the next morning preparing for our first visit to a foreign race track. Our chaffeur for the day, Eugene Stermole, picked us up about 11:30 a.m. and drove us to Chantilly where all the important races are held in France. That noon we had lunch with Joseph Nescola, who was the new owner of Chantilly. Mr. Nescola thought that we might be interested in meeting Nancy Wagner, the leading lady jockey of France. Later that same night, after having dinner with Mr. Nescola in a small cafe, we excused ourselves early so that we might pre- pare for the next leg of our journey, Rome, Italy. Leaving Paris at 8:45 a.m. we arrived in Rome in time to have lunch with Annie Sullens, leading archeologist of Rome. After lunch we relaxed a bit by taking a trip along the Tiber River. Taking the same trip with us, we met Arlene Wuescher and Sophie Sarinoff, who had already seen most of the interesting places in town and proceeded to point them out to us. From where we were, we could see the Piazza delle Terme railway station, for whom Garry Wilson had been working as advertisement manager for the past two years. We also saw a monument of Victor Emanuel II, which was designed by Anna Zollos. The Colosseum and the Bridge and Castle of Southern Angelo and also the Vatican were a few of the many other places we visited before leaving for the U.S.A. again.
