The group gathered in the home of Mrs. Jeanne Smith represents the small number of graduates of the class of '53 who still reside at the Burg , and who 'are not part of the huge crowd gathered at Washington for the in- auguration of President-elect Kent E. Claire and Vice President-elect Clyde R. Minix. The group includes other than Jeanne, the former Gloria Shetterly, Joan Riddar- sporre, Dolores Valentine, and various little representatives of their happy homes. Others are Truman Potts, Dick Shanahan, Tony Kujawski, Lyle Pontius, Ray Lang- guth, Russell Garl, Don Jetter and their wives. They have gathered to watch the inauguration of the former members of their class. Jeanne snaps on her CV Ccolorvisionb set and hears the deep resonant voice of announcer Charles Fox who is to cover the inauguration.

The one used in this past election had already been worn out by another party years before. Due to the brilliant administration of former President Dwight D. Eisenhower and capable Republican followers, the former Senator Claire was converted from a tried-and-true Democrat to a Grand-Old Republican. The same may be said for the Vice President-elect. Now to continue with news of the inauguration. After breakfast at the classy new restaurant The Buffet owned by Patsy Spenner and Faye Standiford, Claire and Minix will begin their trek to the Capitol steps to take their oath of office. Because of the experience gained at The Cupboard , a restaurant at Eidwardsburg, Michigan, their home-town, the girls became fine connoiseurs of food and decided to open the restaurant. It is rumored that the President-elect has already picked a few members of his future cabinet. Although not official, these are a few of the members believed to be chosen: Secretary of State, James G. Hanson, noted for the diplomacy with which he handles problems concerning foreign affairs C?Jg and Ronald Gordon, an old, high
