Rising to leave, we are halted by a small disturbance. The bouncer Jerry Standlev is trying to throw out a drunk. After such a full day, we are very ready to return to the hotel and catch 40 winks before starting out again in the morning. The first thing on our schedule for the day is a football game between the Washing- ton Redskins and another pro team. Oustanding on the team are some of our former Pirate stars: Chuck Smith, Don Smith, Steve Yaros, Ed McDonald, and Don Barclay. The other team doesn t stand a chance with such an able cheering section led by Shir- ley Brechner, Dorothy Shearer, Maggie Rosenbalm, and Phyl Schnabel. (And they ' re pretty, too.) Right there getting a play by play pictorial report is Dave Fryer, the famous news- paper photographer. Also on hand --selling peanuts, no less --is Donna Halsted By the way, the team won. Then the high point of our trip is reached--the Inaugural Ball. We drive up in our limousine chauffeured by Clarence Halfman. As we enter and look around us, we notice other important people who are present, among them, the man responsible for leading his party to victory--that able orator, Bob Craig. He introduced us to the German Am- bassador to the United States, Adolph Hohl.whom we remember as an exchange student back in our senior year in high school. Another ambassador whom we meet is Marilyn Lavery, who carries our word to England. She informed us that Bob Randall had recog- nized an ambition of his by winning the annual Nobel award for oustanding achieve- ment in science. Then came the biggest thrill of our trip--meeting the new president of the United States--Carl Kraft and his able vice-president, Jerry Hamilton. We feel confident of a peaceful administration. At the conclusion of our trip, we drive toward the airport, owned by Gloria Sullivan and Dale McNary, and pass the brightly lit Roller Dome jointly run by Judy Hollar and Ruth Frank. Posted on the side of the building is a wanted Sign out for Don Gorgas alias Buggsy. Arriving at the information booth, we inquire of Dot Wolff where we get tickets She directs us to another ex-Merrillville student, Kathi Hunter, who sells them to us We are ushered to our seats by capable Dorothy Reid, the stewardess, who assured us of a safe trip. And with such able crewman, consisting of Phil Ayers, pilot; Jim Shawver, co-pilot; and Norman Schultz, radioman; we feel truly at ease. We meet another of our old classmates, Ralph Gustafson, who is a missionary to foreign lands. After chatting a time, we settle back to read a current newspaper. On the front page, we see glowing accounts of the jet ace, Ransom Freeman. Then turning to the sport section, we read of the latest feats of strength of Darrell The Mad Russian Maxey, who is now a famous wrestler. As we close the paper, our eyes are caught by a picture of the latest toast of Broadway. She turns out to be the stage star, Marion Knoop, now appearing in a successful play. We came to the end of our trip with a feeling of satisfaction in finding our class of 53 so successful in their chosen fields. 28
