Page 8 THE JAYHAWK BIG Hlill Pllli PHESIHE 'I'-1972 Have you heard the latest? Our classmate Richard Beilharz is running for President of the United States on the Prohibition ticket. Aiding him in his cross country campaign are Secre- tary of State, Mary Hasneuer: Sec- retary of War, Cathryn Guntherg Sec- retary of Defense, O'Neal Thomas- son, and Secretary of Agriculture, Donald Lindsay. While touring the country making campaign speeches, we made our first stop at the Waldorf Astoria, where we were met by the doorman, Robert Tompkins. Escorting us to our table was matre d'hotel Frank Wolf, and waiting tables was Harold Maddox. Furnishing the music for the evening were Dave Wi1son's Triple Threats, featuring Jim Jester on the sax, Dutch Briscoe at the piano, joe Zygarlenski on the drums, and his new vocalist, Bernita Reed. Across the crowded room we spotted our former classmates Barbara fBlakeD Schneider, Paula CFredericksenD Trast, and Anita CMonleyJ Strumillo, who were attending the Red Cross Motor Corps Convention in New York. After finishing our dinner, we left the Waldorf for the airport, where we boarded a Burwell CEdJ DC-3 for our home town, Kansas City, Kansas. We set down at Chicago where the embarrassed hostess, Sue Peniston, picked up our forgotten lunches. Waiting to resume our journey, we strolled by a newsstand, where we noticed the picture of Don Nicholson and the headline Hollywood Dis- covery Makes Good on the cover of Movie Idol. Snatching for Richard an Esquire, which is now edited by we know it we were in dear ole John Augustine, we returned to the plane and met our new pilot Keith Gallehugh. Leafing through a fashion magazine we found a stunning snap- shot of the Powers Model Helen Sanders. Her costume was designed by Bill Brown and Cliff DeMoss. The time passed rapidly and before we knew it we were in dear ole Kansas City. The first stop on our program for the day was our Alma Mater, KAN- SAS CITY, KANSAS, JUNIOR COLLEGE. The dean at the college, Walter D. Haskins, had called a reunion for our class of 1951, after much urging from the assistant dean, Bill Strumillo. The first alumni we saw were Charles A. Alber and his cute wife, Betty, and their three children. Talking to them was Chris Stringfield. We asked Chris what he had been doing and he said that he was a patent lawyer practicing in the John Buterin Professional Build- ing. The elevator operator there was Jeanette Carriger. Standing hopefully beneath the trophy case we saw Jeannette Farlish waiting for a man to stroll by. Lois Henry gave us the latest gossip around the old institu- tion. She should have taken Louella Parsons' place instead of Mary Yu- lich. She told us that Shirley Cathers and Larry Robb were getting married as soon as Larry could find a job as a window cleanerg also that Robert Badgley is now the head of the De- partment of Home Economics at Kansas U. On the faculty board are Carolyn Fendorf and Alfred L. Scherer along with Charles Hudson. Speaking of teachers, we found that Mr. Asendorf had to give up his teaching job be- cause of the demand for Don Rudow. Duane Hubbard, who now has his father's paper business, was talking to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Jack Nixon. Roger Ruby, who was always the quiet fellow of the class, told us that he is an official bootlegger. Richard Hashimoto and Richard Dear were leaving for Africa the following day to do research work on worms. George Holyfield, a min- ister, had Ruth Meyer and Al Ret cornered, trying to convert them to the long and narrow path. joe and Gene Thomas were soliciting new clients for their up-and-coming gar- bage collecting business. Woodyne Bengtson Mann was engrossed in con- versation with Gayle Granberg dis- cussing Gayle's position as secretary of the County Jail. Bob Stewart, the Ben Hogan of the day, took time out from his golf matches to attend the reunion with his associates Joe Walton and Harold Wilcox. Don and Jane fSmithD Willson introduced us to their twins, Mary Ann and David. After chatting with our friends for awhile, we all sat down to a banquet dinner prepared by the faculty of the class of '51. Helping them serve was Charles Hay, who is a traveling sales-. man, and his partner, Gaylord Swartz. After dinner, the alumni sponsored a floor show. The first number was an act by Dorothy Backstrom, a folly- etteg a professional wrestling match between Edward Belan and Fred Hunter. Then Wendell Bynum, Nancy Carey, and Dennis Vernon portrayed a skit on mental institutions, and the last number was a circus clown, Donald Scheloski. We all missed Mitzi CI-Iurtl Stanton, the Warbler of our day, and found that she was unable to attend the party because her baby sitter, Frances Fagan, who is experienced at taking care of CYoungD ones, had attended instead of caring for Mitzi's nine children. Another unable to attend was jeff Hampton-who had sacrificed wine, women, and song for the life of a hermit. After we left the reunion, our chauffeur, Earle Jones, took us on a tour of the city. We saw a sign ad- vertising Chicken Dinners, a specialty of Charlie Ottens. Switching on the radio, we heard a familiar voice, that of Emest Albright over station KMBX as a disc jockey. He intro- duced his guest of the evening, Mrs. Eleanor Straub. The following pro- gram was Ma Perkins Goes East, starring Doris Yendes. Glancing from the car window we noticed a sign which read Vote4Robert Pace for Mayor. That reminded us that an- other classmate was also getting into politics. Dave Gilman was running for Keeper of the Merriam jail. After a strenuous day's work, we arrived at the Town House Hotel. The manager, Joe McCaughey, gave us a welcoming reception. Roger North and Dwayne Follin, bellhops, carried our luggage. The chamber- maid, joan Lackey, offered us every comfort. Also registered at the hotel were two Ambassadors-Mexico's Joe Solis and Germany's Carole Kobets, as well as Howard Kalebaugh, the Hadacol promotion salesman. Settling in our suite on the roof top we turned on the TV set. LaVon Skorupon had taken over the Faye Emerson program and Roy Alexander was the new Bob Hope. Between pro- grams, the announcement for recruit- ing WACS brought us the voice of Lt. Chloeda Schaub and General Vernon R. Cooper. Next on the vldeo's pro- grams was the Covergirl Hour. Dor- othy Sexton was the Model of the Week. Her friend, Dorothy Crisp, modeled her own creations known as Crispy Cottonsf' Recalling the joys and sorrows of ole J. C. we drifted into slurnberland. -MARY HASNEUER and CATHRYN GUNTHER.
