-me eww '50 676.155, .CDTOIJKECL One delightful spring morning, the friendly, but footsore postman, Walter Chapman, brought us tickets to the opening game of the baseball season. He stopped for a moment to say that every member of the graduating class of l95O would receive a ticket. We could hardly wait until game time, for we would see Harold Holborow, our favorite team's catcher, in action. At last he had achieved his ambition! ln our haste, we forgot to check the condition of our car, so it broke down halfway to the stadium, As we waited for Bruce Pignone to find the trouble, we saw Gisela Voehringer, Arlene Weiss and Barbara Diver. They wore stunning suits created by Pat Smith, noted fashion designer. Hanne Lore Weber, Edna Astor, and Vivian Winquist had produced their individual hair syles in their own famous beauty salon. As we approached the ball park, we saw Wendell Warr directing traffic, but he was too busy to notice us. Regina Meyer and Lillian Holst relieved us of our tickets at the gate, and we immediately noticed that this was no ordinary, old-fashioned stadium, but a truly remarkable model. We stepped into one of the spacious lounges designed by Janet Weingartner and Nancy Pruden. Through an open door on one side of the lounge we caught a glimpse of Paul Van Wyck and Ronald Riggenbach, club executives, and therr secretaries, Clara Thalman and Margaret Schreur, all busily working. Another open door revealed a scene resembling a small convention. Boldly we paused to discover what was happening in that room. lt was nothing serious, two engineers Arnold Taranto and Jack Ramsey were arguing with the others, Charles Troast, John McAndrew, Jacob Flaker, and Jack Baas, about some last minute opening day formalities. In other similar rooms we saw Elvira Dykstra, Carole Joos, Marjorie Pruiksma, Betty Jane Hiemstra, and Emily Speer, the club typists, stenographers, and telephone operators all engaged in hard work. As we walked through the corridors, we stopped to admire a beautiful portrait of Argyle Haden, world-renowned actress, and her famous piano accompanist, Helen Jans. On closer inspection, we noticed that the picture had been taken by the eminent photographeer, Sebastian Gaeta. We finally found our way to our seats. Looking about us we waved to Joan Nazzaro and Alva Goss who were busily typing in the press boxes. Suddenly we heard a commotion in the section next to ours, and we recognized Grace Gilson and Paul Dentz vainly seeking to quiet their pupils whom they had brought to the big game. These two poor school teachers hardly smiled at us before their children demanded attention once more. Not far from us the familiar radio announcers, William Ferrazano and John Humphries, were working on television technicalities with T,V. engineer, Bob May, In our row, Janet Pinkney, psychi- atrist, was sitting with one of her numerous clients, Tom White the prominent lawyer. At last the team took the field with Darry Emmett coaching on third base. A split bat caused the mascot to be injured, but he promptly recovered under the excellent care of the veterinarian, Albert Dorhout. A second casualty occurred when Joan von der Fecht was struck by a foul ball, Her injury was expertly treated by Edythe Sumner, Lora Weisiger, Nancy Pruden, and Mary Lou Davies, and she quickly returned to enjoy the rest of the game. The end of cz practically perfect day came when Harold Holborow hit a home run. lt wan the game for the home team. lncidentally, the wheat used in Harold's case of Wheaties was grown by the efficient farmer, Tom Hall. Oh, how we enjoyed this happy day that brought together old friends on suc i an occasion!
