9.5555 EEQEEEQX I stepped into the elevator of the MaCalla Newspaper Building, the tallest building in the world. It had been designed by Barbara Cohen, the famous architect. 568th floor, please ,U I said to Larry Bahlmann, the operator. I glanced at the other women in the elevator. There were Alice Frisbie, fashion designer, and her clothes- horses , Judy Stahl and Sharon Ashley. when the elevator stopped, I got out and walked down the hall to my dentist's office. While I sat in the waiting' room I happened to hear a baseball game on a radio the nurse, Karolyn Rudy, was wearing on her wrist. Alec, Borden, the ex- cited commentator, was yelling that Gordon fJetj Hjortaas, the baseball star, had just hit a homer. ' Just then the nurse called me in, and my dentist, Chuck Stevenson, started to drill. I was facing the window and sud- denly I saw a man sitting outside on the window-sill. It was 'Ibd Ensign, head window-washer of the 568th floor. He waved a wet rag at me and continued his work. After my ordeal with the dentist, I went down to the Tele- vision Room. 'lhe show, Toast of the Tavern was just starting , with Tbm.Wondergem EmGeeing. Then some chorus girls came pranc- ing out. I saw Pat Stpmm, Roxie Bunyan, Mary Joyce Mahoney, Stephanie Kulp, Kay Norris and Priscilla Coleman and after that came Dennis Douglas, The Whirling Dervish, who dis some amazing tricks. Then came the famous crooner, Bob James, who raised the roof with a song written by Nancy Ure. After this I watched the fights. John Card and Dann Conw- vis were battling it out. Freddy Beisheim was the referee. I left the building and as I walked along I could see in the sky the vapor trail of the famous jet pilot's silver plane. Paul Williamson and his corpilot, Dave Ford were known through- out the world. 1 I strolled along, seeing many people I knew. I had a nice chat with Sandra Allen, the rich philanthropist. we discussed whether to give fifty million or one hundred fifty million dollars to her pet charity. Continued on Page 56 I 55

Afterwards we were free to visit the areas in which we were most interested. The museum is so large that you couldn't expect to see it all in one day. There was a television room. There was also a life-size model of a farm and house. we went to Chinatown for supper and ate at a restaurant called Guey Sam's. we visited a few of the shops and bought souvenirs. At 11:05 p m. a group of happy, but tired students alighted from the bus. We had thoroughly enjoyed the trip and had added much to our scientific knowledge. This year has not been all receiving and no giving. we par- ticipated in five drives for money: Community Chest, Junior Red Cross, TJB., Easter Seals, and the Polio Drive.
