TIME . . . Marches on TIME-1976 PLACE-La Guardia Airport DESTINATION-Iceburg in the Aleutians Separated by wind, time, and water the class of '51 has at last decided to have a little get together at some convenient location. All rush to the scene of departure. Flight 1951 scheduled to leave La Guardia Airport for the Aleutians at 2500 will now leave at 2550. The voice of Nancy Horlacher came clearly over the PA system from the control tower. Up in the tower they were having all sorts of aeronautical difficulties, However, with the aid of Janice Auritt, the two managed to get the feet of the pilot, Doris Cherksey, down to earth. Cherk was anxious to take off but Nancy and Janice finally persuaded her to wait for her passengers. Down the runway Ruth Woll, the co-pilot, was taking a straw vote among the mechanics as to whether or not they would take a fire extinguisher on board. All decided in favor of the idea when they realized how many Balls of Fire would be on board. In the radio room Tina Janeway was handling live wires who were becoming Stars on Broadway, while Betty McKaig, the very able navigator, shot these stars with her sextant to plot our course. The plane was fabulous. The designer, Joan Williams, had installed all of the most modern conveniences, and had fitted each passenger with a special mink-lined iceburg suit to be put on just before arrival. All passengers for Flight 1951 may now board plane at Gate 12. People started showing their tickets to Betty Pike, the gate attendant, who directed Elaine Shocket, Joan McAdoo, Mary Jo Kindig and the others towards the stewardess, Helen Hogg. Last call for Flight l95l. Whoops, here comes Janet Harper who left a U.N, con- ference early with Helen Shapiro to make the flight. Inside the plane Peggy Hill, the other stewardess, was handing out dramamine pills like mad, especially to such landlubbers as Demetra Chios, Sally Burden, and Anne Hayes. Just before the take off, Pat Hofman helped her seatnlate Ella Batiste fasten her safety-belt, because Ella was 'all thumbs at the prospect of soon seeing Mary Donis, Rosemary Skelly, and Jean Thomp- son, Joyce MacMullen and Joann Binns, co-winners of the Nobel prize, were chatting intently about pathogens. As the plane gained altitude, there could be heard the clickety-clack of two typewriters as their owners attacked them with vigor. One was lKristin Eggleston's, world famous poetess who was pounding out an epic or two, while the other's was Struthers Joyce's, author of the latest history text- The Bubonic Teutonicf' Sue Budd, who was sitting next to first lady of the land, Joan Robinette, was clutching the cardboard container holding her prize painted turtle. The turtle, Sue called to Lea Day, was a high jumping, speedy reflection of the age, having just won the Kentucky Derby, Asked by sports enthusiast Gayle Meacham for the turtle's pedigree, Sue told her he was Ulcers out of Neuroses by Frustration. Seated at the other end of the plane quietly talking to her agent Mildred Payne, was Evelyn Punchard, famed illustrator of three childrens' magazines. Nearby, Warren Shafer, the brains of Tin Pan Alley chatted with Thelma Barab, the Voice of Tomorrow, about the phenomenal operatic success of Muriel Remaley, as Isolde. Up with the navigator, Nancy Beane and Posy Matzke were engineering the pick-up of several thespians who couldn't make the airport due to their various tours. They skillfully lowered a rope ladder over Pocatello, Idaho to haul up Jane Borden and lowered it again over Vancouver for Evelyn Tabachnick. Quite a group was gathered around the water cooler gabbing about days at the Penn Lunch. Among them were Janet in from Maine, Shand, and Margie the car' Jones. All were delighted that Gloria Kleinman's daughter had just made Phi Bete. Polly Shook, Ambassa- dor to France, came up with Tike Smith, National Mortar Board President, who kept wondering why the wings didn't flop up and down. The light flashed on to fasten seat belts and to stop smoking as the plane was circling to land, Veteran flyer, Betty Gosnay reminded Angie Manno to suck a life saver so her ears wouldn't bother her when they lost altitude. All of a sudden, Dottie Bickert shouted there's an iceberg! Lettuce see retorted comic Ginny Beaumont. As the door opened, the cold Aleutian air rushed into the plane, but nothing could dampen the spirits of the Class of,'51. Coming to warmly greet us, and thank goodness, for baby it's cold outside! was Jane Gladfelter, head of the welcoming and welfare committee, ably assisted by Elizabeth Peterson, oilicial hostess, and Joan Giambalvo, chairman of cheer, Also on hand were Rocky Nelson and Marty Rice, co-coaches of the Iceberg Snowball League, and Joann Diehl, searcher of sociological significance with her assistant Faith Lillibridge, The Snowball League hadn't had any worry about filling up the teams since Helen Mother of the Year Sterling had been keeping it supplied from her brood of twelve. All accommodations were made in advance by Carolyn Simon, manager of the Tiltin' Hilton Hotel. Featured in the hotel's famous Icebox Room were dancers Joan Kielholz and Mimi Hemphill from the Frigid Follies, produced by Claire Mamourian and Mary Ellen Musser. Everything was grandly planned That week of talk and mirth, And to quote the mighty Barnum 'Twas the grandest show on earth. And as they left, each homeward bound, So chic, so smart, such style, Their old friends viewed, their youth renewed, Each faced the future with a smile. Tina Janeway and Doris Cherksey
