The four-day event was held at St Bonaventure university in Olean N Y It was noted bv the boys that ev ery Ranch Corrals uys and Gals If the wind happened to blow vou into the Fruit Ranch sometime dur ing the s u m m e r vou probably thought that the school location had changed because of the numbei of PlOIllt9S work1ng there More than likely the first sight to meet your eyes w as that of D Kubln 206 falling over an obscure watermelon left in the aisle by some thoughtles fellow such as P Tuiay 206 or R Jost 318 Saunterlng past the gailics you probably came upon thlee promising y o u n g peiformers P Breitbach '314 D Welke 202 and R Schmidt 204 doing a Juggling act with the muskmelons If vou were lucky enough to gain admission to the lHIl6l chambeis vou undoubtedly witnessed an avocado eating marathon between two closely matched contestants R Wambach 212 and C Clanclola 206 You would have needed X ray v1s1on to spot the red and white of the whole outfit whose name I am not at libeity to divulge because of the security risk involved' He was located behind the enormous stock piles of produce seienely dragging on a King Size L8zM Filter Having witnessed these sights you gladly paid either cashier V Beh rendt 116 or B Het7el 208 the five dollar cover charge and exited back into the outei world of routine James Stoffels race was represented at the conven- tion. Since the theme of the Congress was family unity, a family spirit prevailed throughout it.
