As we were sitting in the stands we noticed a crowd of people on the field. After the crowd disappeared we saw that the attraction had been Lorna Williams and Joyce Jager, who are on the U.S. Olympic Team. lt looked as if the girls were getting writer's cramp from sign- ing autographs. For pre-game entertainment the Duckworth Trio sange, The Varsity Drag. Following the musicwas an interview of Beverly Miles, noted author, whose most recent book is 'The Private Life of Mary West, now one of the current names in the movie world. Next to be interviewed was Mary Ann Trowbridge, now representing the U.S. in the United Nations. The Russians iust can't see eye to eye with Mary Ann. Along came Marvin Gleasure and sat right in back of us. He told us that Dave Herbert, Leon Boruszko, and himself had iust returned from taking the census in the Anartic. A very dashing character passed in front of the stands. It was none other than Dean Weaver, iust back from a tour of the milinery markets in Paris. l wonder if he got any new ideas for his ladies' hats? Sitting a few rows over was the noted playwrite, Ula McLean, whose current hit is, To Throw Beans or Not to Throw Beans. lt stars that great actress of stage and screen, Patricia Taack. Sitting with Ula was that beach-wear model from Florida, Wanda Baker. Although the football game had been very exciting, we had missed most of it renewing old acquaintances. The final score was Lapeer 6, lmlay City 47 at the whistle. Margaret Strump came iust as we were leaving. She is now the owner of the Strump chain of 5 and l0gt stores in the U.S. Upon leaving the game we stopped in at the Dragomon Convalescent Home for aged baseball players. Florence told us that she had received a letter from Peg Stenzel today. Poor Peg had been trying to swim the English Channel for the last ten years but she hasn't made it yet. That evening we attended the Pro-game Banquet. As we sat down at the honored guests' table we saw that Mr. and Mrs. Bob Wheeler were seated across from us. They told us that they were expecting to meet Lois Sisson and John Nickora. Lois is playing the part of Helen Trent on the radio show and John is on the 'flust Plain Bill' program. Through the door came a very familiar figure, but none of us could quite recall the name. Then Marlene realized that it was Joy Snyder. That brown hair fooled us. With Joy were Mr. and Mrs. Jack Halstead. They left all the kids with Nicolyn Makedonsky, who has the Sitting Service in lmlay. lt was at this time that the dinner was served. At our table serving was Virginia Whittkopf and Ellaine Eddy. Boiled lobster was the main course prepared by the skilled hands of John Sohlden. After the delightful dinner Frank Stapleton, the prominent banker of the town, introduced the main speaker of the evening. lt was Lois Dowling, who spoke on the variation of the T forma- tion and single wing. It had been a big day so everyone said goodbye and started for home. The next home- coming game will not be held until l985, but l can wait. Bob DeMain Marlene Jahn Joyce Whiteman
