STUDENTS of various types—meek, shy, boister- ous, studious, unstudious”—all have been our classmates and friends. Together they make up our school. Without any one of the types, school days wouldn’t seem quite right. FRESHMEN, some timid and others bold, begin a new chapter in their lives when they attend their first SHS class. They struggle through the tough- est year progressing from freshmen to seniors, feeling more pride each year. All of us have sat in class sniffing the odors from the HOME-EC classes. As our mouths watered, we hoped the clock would hurry and bring the lunch hour. Only if we were one of the very lucky ones, could we get a tiny morsel of the cookies or cakes from one of the future homemakers. Sometimes even the burning odors coming through classroom venti- lators, smelled good. Football, with its cheering; running along the sidelines; screaming for touchdowns; was one of the most thrilling activities in our school (every one wishing he were the hero out there playing ball). The ATHLETES, large or small, have rated us everywhere from first to fifth in the Big Six. Then when the basketball season came around, the town loyally supported our games, followed our pep club we cheered the team on, praising them la- ter, win or lose. The music festivals.' Remember them? Sabetha being flooded by unknown and strange faces. Each town in friendly competition with each. Mixed Chorus, glee club, and SPECIAL groups took up much of our time, but in return we received a feeling of pride. The appreciation was worth the effort. The AG boys have given our school much recogni- tion over the state by receiving top honors in the contests. The organizations—Kayettes, GAA, FHA, FFA, Kays, S-Club, Spanish Club, Alpha Club, Jay Jays—have all played their part in keeping us busy. The GAA night games brought out numerous students and townfolk to root for the comically named girls' teams. Most prominent in our memories should be our TEACHERS who have helped us gain our goal by their sympathetic understanding. They have spent many hours outside school in a personal attempt to aid us. They have offered us more than we can ever re- pay. We'll forever cherish the memories of our friends, classmates, teachers, the proms, all the happy and unhappy times. We owe a great deal to SHS. DEDICATIO!! In some small way we wish to show our ap- Dreciation for the way you've held up your end of the bargain in making our high school days more rich and enjoyable------for the times you gave us a financial boost or lent a helping hand and a cheering word when we were troubled ---for the way you didn't complain when home- work or activities keot us so busy that we shirked our duties at home---for the way you came through in all those uncountable in- stances, we wish to exDress our gratitude. So to you, dear parents, we, the class of '51, dedicate our edition of the BLUEJAY. SCHOOL BOARD Ivan Roberts president M.O. Mock vice-president Mrs. Wm. Porter secretary J.E.

The class of 51 need have no fear of leaving the senior post to an inefficient group. These students have proved that they can do a job well. There are five juniors on the semester honor roll, (three of whom had all A-grades) and thirteen on the honorable mention list, or something over one- third of all the students cited for scholarship. Five junior boys lettered in football. The class will be as well represented in other sports. Carrol Mills joined the olass the seoond semester.

There are potential athletes to boost fut- ure Big Six standings, and pretty,efficient girls. They are not found wanting in good scholarship rec- ords either: five freshmen made the first semes- ter honor roll (one of whom had all A's) and seven others were among the honorable mention names. One freshman boy lettered in football. They should be a power to be reckoned with in all students ac- tivities the next three years. 10 BACK ROW: Coach Stricklin, Jim Hulsing, Harold Leuthold, Larry S-ith, Johnny Moser, Coach Frear.

For the first game of the season SHS was host to Seneca Catholic whom we defeated 21-6. The Blue Jays journeyed to Centralia to try to mar the Panthers’ record but were turned back by a 7 to 0 score. After those two games Conference play onen- ed. Troy was first on our list whom we de- feated 37 to 0. After that game Sabetha look- ed to be in the running of the Big Six Confer- ence. But falling to a fired-up bunch from Horton seemed to take a lot out of the Blue Jays. From then on it was down hill for SHS. Sabetha got ready to take on their ancient rival, Hiawatha. After the smoke had cleared from a closely fought game the Indians were on top 6 to 0. Plagued by injuries that cost us Art Bell and Gary Shadel, we continued to fight on on- ly to be defeated by Holton 38 to 0 and by Washington 33 to 6. The game with Effingham was the last one of conference play. The temperature was below freezing, so we put on all our clothes to be warm and meet the mighty Tigers. We did take the mighty out of them but still could not muster the last ounce of punch required to get that last tally across, and the score was 31 to 7 in their favor. Because of injuries that hampered us all season we had to use both coaches to fill in the defensive team tohave enough men to prac- tice with as we prepared for the last game, a non-conference game with Frankfort. The boys fought hard but couldn’t turn the tide and went down in defeat 21 to 0.

Art was on the medley team that finished sec- ond at the ’50 Ottawa relays. He was added to the casualty list of the football squad toward the end of the season when he had a tooth knocked out. ROBERT BRUNNER, 165 pound senior, joined the football squad his junior year and let- tered his senior year, playing the tackle po- sition. RONALD RONNIE CARPENTER, senior and co- captain of the 1950 football squad, lettered in all three sports. He holds three letters each in football and basketball, and two in track. Ronnie was on the relay team that set a new mile record at the '50 Ottawa relays. ALVIN GATES,has lettered two years in foot- ball. He was a running back on offense and a linebacker on defense. Alvin is a trackman where he runs the open half-mile. He placed third in the Big Six track meet in '50. KEITH HAXTON, although not a regular, has persistence and a fighting spirit. He dis- played a will to win whenever he was playing, and also a competitive spirit. This letter in football is Keith's first. He has gone out for track and basketball three years. LYLE LANCASTER, filled the tough but ungla- morous role of guard in the'50 football line. This, 150 pound senior is a two-year letterman in football. Lyle lettered his sophomore and junior years in track. He ran the mile where he placed fourth in the Big Six relays last year. JOHN ROSS, « senior tackle, was elected co- captain by his teammates. John has been a member of the squad four years and a regular his junior and senior years. He is a faith- ful on the basketball and track squads, too. NORMAN STEINER, oenior and 140 pound foot- ball back, has been on the football squad two years and on tne track squad three years. He lettered in football this year. LEE WHITE, a 172 pound senior, is a two- sport athlete. He boasts two letters both in football, playing an end position. He plays forward on the basketball team. JAY BUCHHOLZ, a 155 pound guard, is a jun- ior, lettering his first time this year. Jay Joined the football squad his sophomore year, but he has been a track man since his fresh- man year. Jay is a strong, husky lad who is sure to make himself felt in next yeai sfoot- ball frays. MAX DALSING, 160 pound guard, earned his first letter in football this year. He could usually be depended upon to open or fill a hole, whicnever was necessary. Max partici- pates in all three sports. This charging lineman ought to be one of the top players come the '51 season. MARION RED EMERT is a one-year letterman in football and has one year left to play. He also is a member of the basketball squad and runs the 100-yard dash on the track team. ROY RALSTON, a 168 pound junior and a two- year letterman, was an alert center and a charging line backer on defense. Roy was a memace to any ball carrier. He is bound to be a key man next year. In basketball, Roy is one of the hardest fighting men on the team and ready to give all he has to win the game. He is an outstanding trackster as well. ALBERT ROBERTS, 147 pounds in weight, let- tered in football his junior year. He was a very alert and deft quarterback. His quick thinking and ability to handle the ball m.de it possible for him and the other ball car- riers to make large gains. Albert called the plays and then had to pass the ball off to the right man. This probably is the most skilled part to play in football. He is also outstanding in basketball and will be a good man in track. VANCE WENGER, a 178 pound tackle was one of the biggest threats in Sabetha's forward walL A junior, he has two letters in football and has played varsity basketball and track. In 1951 Vance will be one of the main wheels in the Blue Jays line. JACK BAKER, a 150 pound sophomore, has two letters in football. He played an end posi- tion. Jack is not a one-sport athlete. He took third place in the mile relay at the Big Six track meet last year, and plays basket- ball as well. KEITH BROOKS, a second year letterman in football, was considered one of the best sophomore backs in the Conference. Keith is small, only 138 pounds, but he makes up for that many times in his shifty running. Toward the close of the season, Keith's name was added to the ever-growing casualty list with a broken collarbone. With two years to go he ought to be a topnotch player. ANTHONY TONY HEPTTG is one of the four sophomore lettermen. He earned his first let- ter this year in football, playing at center. He is a member of the B-team in basketball JIM MOCK a 150 pound sophomore, is a three- sport athlete. He earned his first letter in football this year. LYNN KELLENBERGER, 149 pound freshman, is a hard driving back. Lynn was the only fresh- man to letter. Lynn was switched to an end position toward the end of the season. Lynn's next three years promise to be good ones. Gary Tyler has been the Jays hardluck man as pre-season prac- tice knocked him out of the 1950 and 1951 seasons. In '50 he had a fractured finger and in '51 a broken right arm. He was play- ing at the fullback position. - The Homecoming Queen, attendants, and esccorts The coaches hash it over.

It was directed by Mr. O'Sul- livan and Miss Pflug. Mr. Carr, played by Fred Stalder, was the faithful host for business reasons. He and his wife, Barbara Lukert, experi- enced nuite a few difficulties in being the perfect host and hostess with the complications that came about at their innocently planned dinner for Mr. nd Mrs. T.F. Do .’d an , daughter, Mary Lou. The first of these was when Jody C.rr (Melba Campbell), brought home Marilyn Bain (Janet Okeson) to st y till time to go to the dinner dance thaJ| night. Then Larry Carr (Loren Steiner), who is supposed to spend the evening at home entertaining Mary Lou (Donna Gates), brought home Phil Dargcn (Albert Rob- erts) ; Phil 'was a mental magician who further complicates matters by hypnot- izing Mr. Dowd (Roy Ralston) into think- ing he is a butler, and Mrs. Dowd (Jenny Fulton), to a cook. Joey's boyfriend, Jack Decker (Marvin Strahm), and the blind date, Lester Finch (Merlin Strahm), were quite un- happily surprised to find that Marilyn, due to Phil's hypnotic powers, had a terrible headache and didn't want to go to the dance. Mr. Carr, trying to fix everything, hired a female hypnotizer, Lori (Lois Kezler), but she unfortunately hypnot- ized the wrong people; she hypnotized Barlow, the butler (Richard Gruen), and Mrs. Klump, the cook (Rosalie Smith). But all's well that ends well, and in the words of Mary Lou, It w.s an amazing evening, utterly emazingj ALMA MATER Faithful and true hearted, Vie will boost for our old high, V.'e will honor and defend her. Let her colors proudly fly. V.e will stand for her united. Of her deeds we'll gladly tell. Bright colors gleaming, bright faces beaming. So here's a cheer for her we love so well. Joyous and ever loyal, Let us boost for our old high; Let every heart sing, let every voice ring. There's no time to grieve or sigh; So ever onward, our course pursuing, May defeat ne'er our ardor cool. But united we will boost for her. Our Old High School I Heralded in by SHS students, the com- ing year bid fair to be a gay one. A mild winter added much to the high spir- its. Only a few snowball fights were had, and the girls were mercifully free from that sleek, cold lump of snow so often thrust down their backs. Only two or three times did the feathery flakes come drifting down from the gray skies to make possible the snow scene for which Miss Robinson and the staff wished so fervently. The coming winter brings with it the promise of varied activities of the SIS clubs, highlighted by basketball, Kay Minstrel, Kayette assembly, dances, and many others. These will all be long-guarded mem- ories to the students of SHS as the win- ter days go by. Each and every one will always remember, especially the seniors, who look backward with regret as their last days of high school life pass. 19 SCHEDULE OF GAJES FOR THE 1950-51 SEASON A-TEAM Dec. 5 Sabetha 40 Fairview 39 B-TEAM SHS 47 to 34 Dec. 8 Sabetha 28 Sts.

The FFA won the 1950-51 noon hour bas- ketball league championship with a 14-7 won and lost record. There were three other teams in the league other than the FFA. They were the Band, Independents, and the Kays. The boys played every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The girls have played in noon leagues since 1950. Team II, ca tained by Nila Edelman, won the girls' league champion- ship by winning the play-off game from Team I, 27-11. The other girls' teams were Team I, captained by Donna Gates; Team II, cap- tained by Mildred McFall; ani Team III, captained by Melba Campbell. Back row: Merlin Strahm, Lynn Kellenberger,Capt.

Under the direction of five of the peppiest cheerleaders SHS has ever known, the Jay Jays of the 51 year whooped it up. Come rain or shine, the Jays hop into the bus or cars and trek along to the big game. They cheered till their voices wouldn’t permit anymore and came home completely worn out. They didn’t stop on just one game; they went to all, happy and tired, but always ready to go for our grand old SHS. Under the untiring guidance of their sponsor, Miss Eleanor Pflug, the Jay Jays sold at basketball games, to build up a fund for new backdrops for the stage. With the help of other organizations the curtains will be hanging in ’52. Thus went the '51 season and will go seasons to follow, but although they may equal and surpass this year's club, they can never take away the satisfaction it gave to everybody. 26 IT The Kays have won their 1,000 point award this year. Some of the projects during the year were: a CAKE package to a family in Germany, a gift to the school of material for blackout curtains in the study hall, a minstrel show, pep assembly, and gifts of food to various institutions. The Kays also sponsored an all-school dance, and a water- melon feed at the beginning of the year, so the new members could get acquainted.

The FFA rated third with their exhibit at the Topeka Fair this year. The past two years Sabetha was rated first. This year Hiawatha took first. The exhibit of Sabetha’s FFA illustrated a balanced farm program. The pattern of the exhibit was taken from a local farm, that of Mr. Wilbur Wurzbacker. The chapter conducted a dairy judging school for the benefit of schools from northeast Kansas and southeast Nebraska. Eighteen schools attended with 275 boys participating. The sophomores designed a lawn table this year and are making them for their patrons. The chapter took over the job of plant- ing grass, trees, and shrubs on the armoury grounds. The chamber of commerce is furn- ishing the money for this project.

FHA, homemaking organization at SiS, consists of 41 girls and their sponsor, Mrs. Donald Flentie. Their meetings are held every fourth Friday. The future homemakers had charge of an assembly, January 26, in which they caricatured the many faults of grooming, dressing, and action of students at sa- betha High. Twice the girls went to Topeka to dis- trict and state conferences. At the state meeting, they were invited to tea at the Governor's mansion. They also made a tour of the capitol building. At the district meeting, the Sabetha chapter was asked to help with the pro- gram. Three girls modeled clothing they had made themselves in home ec. classes. Gail White modeled a formal; Becky Mo- ser, slacks; and Shirley Maelzer, pajam- as. The mixed chorus sang at the annual Christmas program� and represented Sabe- tha at the Big Six music meet. The boys' glee club also sang at the music festival. The girls' glee club sang at the benefit show. A smaller group from the mixed chorus, called the special chorus, broadcast over station KSAC at Manhattan. They sang at the benefit show, Big Six -Music Meet, District Music Festival in Law- rence, for baccalaureate, and commence- ment. 31 CONCERT BAND Bb CLARINET Kathryn Miller LaVonne Hr.rtter Maridee Broimlee Rosalie Smith Mildred UcFall Beverly Fulton Janet Okeson Lucille Chandler Lois Kesler Jenny Fulton Shirley Deaver Mary Ann Miller Mary K Wurzbacher Mary Lou Wenge Doris Theiman Gayle Ross Martha Humfeldt FLDTE Susan Tyler Shirley Maelzer ALTO SAXAPHONE Esther Henderson Roma Bauman Patty Myers TIN OR SAXAPHONE Ronnie Carpenter Edith Lancaster FLAG BEARER Ernie Gruen Kenneth Koosier COKTET Gary Tyler Beverly Brothers Mavis Eichenberger Paul McNergney Melba Campbell John Moore Virginia Beyer Larry Baker David Robinson Diane Buchholz FRENCH HORI Barbara Lukert Clayton Metzger Jeannine Newlin BARITONE Vance Wenger Eloise Wenger Jim Mock TYMPANI Bernice Bueltel TRAPS Peggy Vogelsang OBOE-PICCOLO Patricia Keithley ALTO CLARINET Elaine Young 32 TROMBONE Richard Gruen Elaine Lukert Nila Edelman Betty Ralston Eugene Hartman Robert Beyer Alma Steinor SNARE DRUM Albert Roberts Jack Baker Elba Robinson BASS DRUM Karen Buchholz BARITONE SAXAPHONE Eldon Metzger BELL LYRE Darlene Smith CYMBALS Mildred Wiltz TUBA John Ross La Von Wenger Merlin Steiner The high school presented their annual Christmas program at the City Hall Dec. 21.

The last year or so the club has had its smallest membership, yet it comes close to serving its avowed purpose, that of recognizing scholarship. Students owning gold pins are Donna Gates, Lois Kesler, Patricia Keithley, Joelline Wikle, Betty Marion, and Carol Humphrey who has straight semester A's for four years' work. Those with silver pins are Joyce Smith Winifred Ruse, Kathryn Miller, Barbara Lukert, Beverly Brothers, and Lois Math- ew son. Neophytes in the club are Jennie Ellen Fulton, Delores Wenger, Esther Henderson, Glen Keim, Lloyd Keim, Paul McNergney, and Roy Ralston. Honor Roll for Six Weeks' Periods Patricia Keithley is the only student in high school to have all A's in both six weeks and semester grades. Donna Gates, Betty Marion, and Carol Humphrey had all but one. Others named on the honor roll one or more times are Janice Jones, Lynn Kellen berger, Joyce 3nith, Beverly Brothers, Lois Kesler, Barbara Lukert, Joelline Wikle, Lois Mathewson, and Katheryn Mil- ler five six weeks.

And they had 'em all. When track season ooened, the boys worked out in the gym. Otherwise, they's have been wading in four inches of left-over snow. When time came for a trackmeet, the boys who were trying to mark lanes found the lines fading out as fast as they put them in, due to a driving April shower. But later, when Coaches Frear and Stricklin had sent their fervent pleas for a sunny day upward, to the place where such requests are dealt with, and Mr. Unruh had signed the requisition, giving it the stamp of authority, the great day came. Sabetha had scheduled a track meet, and the sun was shining brightly! In a four-way meet with Fair- view, Centralia, and Frankfort, SHS came out far from the top. But when they journeyed to Hiawatha, to compete with other Big Six schools, they did a little better. Lyle Lancaster won us a first in the mile, and the mile relay team did likewise. The medley relay made a sec- ond, and the 880 relay, third. Mock and Steiner netted a point apiece, with the javelin and 880 yard run, respectively. At the end of the season, four weary seniors turned in their equipment for the last time. Fourteen juniors, seven sophmores, and 11 freshmen turned theirs in, but with reservations and big plans for 1952. _Co-edi tors: Joelllne Wikle and Winifred Ruse :r Sports editors: Alvin Gates, Art Be: and John Ross Peggy Vogelsang an, Kichenberger Business Carolyn Shewey Betty Marlon writer The banquet hall—formerly the gym you could cor Let1s sit this one out Despite the ominous date chosen for the an- nual senior 'effort, Friday the thirteenth,the class of '51 came up with a funny, well-acted play. The plot, suggested by the title, Shirt Sleeves , centers about the wealthy Rand fam- ily: how their ancestors had a humble begin- ning, rose to wealth and social position, and how they fell again following a bank failure. Franklin and Julia Rand (Eldon Metzger and Joelline Wikle) are rather snobbish people, who have four children: Theodore and Esther, twins (Art Bell and Mildred McFall); Diana (Mavis Eichenberger) with all the worst qual- ities of her socially-minded mother but whose good qualities come out under stress; and Don (Gary Tyler), the family black-sheep. Diana’s plans to go to an Eastern college, partly to escape Norman, her obnoxious boy- friend (Lyle Lancaster); Don’s fight to mar- ry Margie Scanlon, whom the parents do not consider his equal, (Beverly Brothers); Mr. Rand's nervous breakdown cured by the offer of a job, only to find the job was made by an unscrupulous business-man (Ronny Carpenter), hoping to extract blackmail information from Margie; and Kitty) the garrulous maid's at- tempt to get herself a man or bust, and how she finally snags Elmer (Alvin Gates), the milkman — all this adds up to an interesting play. Supporting this cast are Betty Ralston, Lu- cille Chandler, Marjorie White, Winifred Ruse John Ross, Bob Brunner, Norman Steiner, Keith Raxton, and Clair Dove. Lee White was stage manager and his assistant, Walter Kyle.

CLASS PAOPHECy One sunny day in early September, 2003, I was walking down a busy street in that great Kansas metropolis, Sabetha. (Deposits of hyd- anisulfanidium were discovered there in 1885, bringing wealth to the community.) As I wan- dered down the wide street, I saw a distinct- ly unfamiliar shop. The front was covered with gold inlaid with mystic symbols of black und silver. A sign above proclaimed this to be the establishment of Madame Lola, Seeress. Since I had been musing idly about my classmates of 1951, I decided to test her powers by inquiring about each of them. X entered and a lovely attendant met me. She said that Madame was not engaged, and would see me immediatly. I was ushered into a small room, occupied by a tiny creature gaz- ing into a crystal b ill. She began to speak; as nearly as I can recall, this is what she said: Arleta Aberle had started a private danc- ing school in Bern, Kansas. Her slogan is, How to be graceful in ten easy lessons. Rosalie Aberle has just finished writing her latest book entitled, How to Get a Date, Girls. Arthur Bell is now the assistant manager of the stock boys at the Duckwall store at Price, Kansas. Mary Bien, after four years of practice at SHS, has joined Joey Chitwood's Daredevil Drivers, (con't. page 46) Beverly Brothers is still singing. She is on the stage Tuesdays and Thursdays at Goff. Robert Brunner is now grand chief manager in charge of operations and of caring for and feeding the office cat at DuPont Nylon Cor- poration in New York, N.Y. After successfully completing five years at Kansas University, and acquiring his Ph.D.at Yale, Ronny Carpenter has decided that he would rather carry groceries and is back at Safevray. Lucille Chandler joined the WAP and hopes to be stationed somev;here in the state of Washington. Clair Dove has fin lly become a success. He is president of the debate team at Yale. ’.'..vis Eichenberqer took up aviation. She h s recently made a successful flight over C' iom ., Kansas. Alvin Gates has taken over the major cookie counter in a Katz drugstore in St. Joseph. Keith Haxton is the leading model in one of Charles Atlas' muscle building syndicates in downtown Los Angeles. Esther Henderson has given up nurses train- ing on the coast nd is chief caretaker of the American Kennel Clubs. James Hulsing is associated with Corbett and Corbett in good old Sabetha, after gradu- ating from Harvard law school and an exten- sive tour through Europe and Asia. Carol Humphrey, employed by the new Hair and Scare factory at '.Voodlawn is the top de- signer of new and fabulous wigs for the older men. Walter Kyle is head manager of the Rub and Scrub department of the Texas Auto Wash. Hi motto is rub and scrub while you wait. Lyle Lancaster is policeman at Woodlawn and is busy most of the time keeping loafers off the doorsteps at the Humphrey home. Mildred McFall has taken up the sport of golf and has just won the championship at Mr. Unruh's private golf course. Betty Marion, having completed a course in pharmacy, has a chain of drug stores from Fairview to Oneida. Eldon Metzger, in gratitude to Miss Robin- is acting as private chauffeur to-and-from- school. Susie Mi shier is dean of a girls' school. Among the subjects she teaches are physics, how to study, how to overcome bashfulness, and how to cage a male. John Moore is a construction boss. His specialty is private garages for cars on the high school parking lots. He disliked SiS photographers. Betty Ralston, having completed a four year course in home demonstration at K-State, is working at the Sabetha Bank scrubbing floors. John Ross, now Pierre Rossini, owns and op- erates a beauty salon. His slogan is, More 46 money, more beauty. The former Winifred Ruse was last seen try- ing to find a baby-sitter for her seven children. Anyone wishing to volunteer his services, please contact her immediately. Gary Shadel not only runs the popcorn ma- chine, but has also taken over the entire Civic theatre. Gary's dynamic personality, business ability, and capital, were just too much for Ernie. Carolyn Shewey, the red-headed bomber, owns and operates the Trans-County Airlines, Inc. Only $15 from Sabetha to Fairview. Norman Steiner has recieved his bachelor's degree at Highland Junior College, and has replaced Mr. Unruh as physics teacher at SHS. Betty Stewart, our only missionary, is mak- ing life a little happier for the inmates at Sing Sing by reading them a verse of Scrip- ture nightly. Vaughn Thompson has taken the place of Gor- geous George on the wrestling mat. Vaughn's appearance is enhanced by those blond curls. Gary Tyler, our great chemist, has perfect- ed a soap. It doesn't clean; it doesn't lather; it doesn't bubble; it just keeps you company in the tub. Peggy Vogelsang, a constant client of the Please-Get-Me-A-Date bureau, has now become the manager. Delores Wenger is a rocket ship hostess. She has recently become the first woman to fly around the universe. Lee White, after winning the Academy Award for the best actor of the year 1888, decided that the simple life is best and retired to a bachelor apartment on the thirty-first, floor of the Waldorf Astoria. Marjorie White has been chosen Mrs. America at the annual Atlantic City contest. She and her family will spend a glamorous week-end in Florida.
