The Sun ParTy T-TEN The whisTle blew aT seven o'clock, we fxs, TorTunaTe Dials obTained TickeTs describ- gg iT? ing The iourney Trom soup To nuTs Trom a very X-xgfjf-M obliging conducTor, Swan McLean, and boarded The ski Train Tor Snow Good. Our TirsT Trip was an enchanTing snow village where Sammy JMX Chapin, The Town snow man, showed us around. Xf- Oc --1 45, .X The naTive eskimos, skaTers, and Russians enTer- W l X Tained us by dances, and The well-pillowed Mrs. ,X XJ-J N XX Ima Gushing lreally Bam Sperryl gave us a lec- fA,t,,f 'NC' Ture on Skiing in SaTeTy , An ouTsTanding Tea- 'N T f Ture was The phosphorescenT chorus, whose ::A Tx.-'P' W -- Zgloves and shoes glowed mysTeriously in The 'N 'ZX dark. L, -'X-fx.. The conducTor soon called All aboard and we seT ouT Tor our nexT sTop - The gym. Looking in The window oT a Train beside us, we saw an old proTessor, Nancy Lawrence, laden wiTh his laTesT ski conTrapTion - a bird cage and beauTy parlor chair proTecTed by an umbrella. This laTer provided boTh comedy and Tragedy on The ski hill. WiTh a crash oT Talling skis, Mama and Papa Beach and The Three li++Ie Beaches - lSandy, Sunny, and Rockyl - enTered The car. A Tew minuTes laTer, playboy Johnny Walker and sophisTicaTe Ginger Mason goT on The Train. They were an aTTracTive pair, and when we reached our desTinaTion, Snow Good lnn we were glad To see ThaT They were also There Tor The weekend - well Taken care oT by Marie and Ted, The ski insTrucTors lAnn Philipp and Caroline Heming- wayl. We noTed wiTh amusemenT ThaT Ginger Tound Johnny enTirely Too occupied wiTh Marie, and were noT surprised To see her welcome Ted's aTTenTion in Turn. This, oT course, didn'T please Marie, who was only doing her iob in enTerTaining Johnny. Marie Took Johnny on a skiing expediTion, buT alThough we were shown how To accom- plish The diTTiculT arT, Johnny was anyThing buT successful. AT This poinT liTe had become equally miserable Tor Ginger and Johnny. Unknowingly, They each leTT on The same Train earlier Than They had planned. Ginger serenaded wiTh us Their Theme song This Can'T Be Love . lT broughT The Two TogeTher again as The vicTrola ran down To a happy ending. We haTed To see The Train pull ouT oT The sTaTion, and as a parTing call we wanT To Tell Cherry and The Suns ThaT iT was The besT Trip we've ever Taken. Many Thanks! II4
