Hostess Peggy Steadman showed our Life men to their rooms and had their luggage taken up by George Zakarian, bell captain. After reading Don Park- hurst's famous comic strip, 'fThe XVitch on the Hill, they retired, first warily testing their Yannino mattresses. 1 'Ihe next morning after breakfast in the Blue Room, recently remodeled by decorator Penny Blisakian, photographers V. aml R. set, out on their travels. Fight- ing with wind and pedestrians, among whom were Herb Nlosman and Cathy Gardini, at the corner of Tremont and Boylston they were trapped by a taxi: and on peering into the window, they dis- covered that the license was made out to John Finn and that the sole passenger was manufacturer Diran Basmajian. Recog- nizing Ll:f6'lS aces, he invited them to join him: they complied nimbly and presently were speeding across the city. Un the Hill, driver Finn slowed down to wave to a friend of his in uniformgpatrolman Bob Jackson: Zillll as he drove by Johnston's Beauty Salon, he honked some sort of special signal. YYhile the occupants of the Thomas- ian Taxi were enjoying a pack of Murray- Gal cigarettes Cmanufactured by the Maguire Tobacco C'o.J they caught sight of the fabulous exposition buildings, facing the Vharles, and surmounted by wind- whipped world flags, hired from the Mee Flags-For-All-Occasions Syndicate. The exposition architecture, remarked Busi- nessman Basmajian as he nodded to Gate- man Don Naclsaac, was the moderniste creation of Todino, McNamara, and Belatives, of Boston and Beverly Hills. Alighting from the cab, F. and ll. joined the crowd listening to the opening addresses delivered by Vongresswoman Rita Toros- siang Peter Pochi, president of Harvard: and Dick Hewitt, heavy-action mayor of Boston. They saw, seated in the reserved section guarded by Jim Xvtges, Mrs. Frank l 119 Vousineau and her debutante daughter, Joanne: authoress Jo Doreyg and Margie Vhristie, star of Yic li,lrXIlliC'0lS recent hit, ur Phe Klan In Our Lives. After the opening ceremonies the first exhibit V. and B. visited was the Howland-Yello automobile display, featur- ing several models of the 1971 Howmobile, designed by Nlcllonald. A sign, and Engi- neer-guide Arko Bourgoujian, pointed the way, past Mary Baboian and Jo Fantasia who were admiring a bronze by Vharlie .1 J 1 7 lt P f rHH3i - -Qfi l 4

Chosen by Life editor, Armen Esserian, Futting and Richardson left New York in the newly-designed Manning P-52 piloted by Joe Puceia Qco-pilot, Frances Powersl, and arrived at Frain Airdronie on schedule. Noticing the airport's Cas- tellano timepiece was correct, they were informed by pretty Barmakian Airline hostess Bea Pottie that it was personally eheeked by chairman Nlr. lioy Blair when- ever he came to board meetings. Soon Lifels photographers found themselves in the Vopley Plaza. Relaxing with Blanager H. E. Hill over a daiquiri made by cocktail chef, Bob Acker, they learned that although special suites were being reserved for Lady Swithin, nee Bonner, and l1er dear friend Pat Donnelly, rooms would be available for transient Exposition guests, many of whom had already arrived. fra H131
