We shoved on to Washington, D. C. where the noted lawyer, Gloria Moutz was defending LeRoy Fairbanks, the A 81 P King, in a tax evasion suit. While there we stopped in to watch Carl Black conduct the Washington Philharmonic at the President's Ball, honoring the newly elected President, David Anderson. His campaign manager was Dick Hickey. Dorothy Flynn and Jean Schliess were in town awaiting the reception of a Congressional Citation for their out- standing work in the field of education. Pittsburgh found Jerry Griffin, the Garbage Can King watching his newly acquired football team the Pittsburgh Playboys drubbing Dick Metz's Texas Longhorns in the national play-offs. Bill Taylor driving his line plunges produced the winning margin for the Pittsburgh team. Leaving the stadium, we ran into John Cardinal Sweet, Jr. , the papal delegate in the United States, with him was his assistant Ed Ross, the former Hot-Rod driver. New York reunited us with Patti Stewart, Saks Fifth Avenue's favorite model, While shopping we saw Marjorie Barker and Mary Louise Simonds buying materials for their new interior decorating firm. Their first job is decorating the fabulous penthouse of John Lennon whose recently acquired wealth was due to his invention of singing ukulele laundry drivers. Mary Kintz is asergeant on the Women's Police Force. Joan Halstead was at Madison Square Garden refereeing a wrestling match. Among the notablesin the audience was Dorothy Arrnstead, the famous singer, and Norma Gubry, the noted novelist whose book, entitled How to Rope a Cowboy on the Lone Prairie, is being read by countless cowgirls throughout the wild and woolly west. So as we windup our tour of the UnitedStates we say good-bye once again to the classes of '51, Countess Maritza Obranovich Col. Mary Allen, U. S. M. C. yr, ty W' f.st.,,q- 13- Q, L . rf' .
