THE 1 9 4 9 NATIONAL CONVENTION

The 1 9 4 9 National Convention was held on September 2 2, 2 ) , and 2 4 inDallas, Texas with convention headquarters in the Baker Hotel. Ne~man-

Marcus Department Store sponsored a tour of the famed fashion center,

a style show, and an afternoon tea. Doris Tanner, class of 4 4 - w - 4 ,was one of the models in the show. Gifts were presented to the two

WASPs who traveled the farthest distance to attend the convention;

these were Doris Turner from Conneticut and Carol Jones Stoltz from

Billings, Montana. The beautiful Cipango Club, a private membership

club, served as the setting for a most enjoyable cocktail party. Many

thanks to Marie Muccie Genaro for arranging for the use of the club.

Baked ham and turkey, salads, cake and coffee were served in buffet

style. Bruce Cabot joined the party long enough for a picture. The

Navy turned out en masse, to take care of the male shortage, which

more thoroughly cemented relationships between the Army and the Navy.

Friday, the following day, was Flight Day at Highland Park Airport, and

the weather man was certainly on our side. Bert Collins was in full

charge. She and the operators of the airport did a really fine job to

make flight day successful. Dot Swain Lewis entertained us with her

unique aerial stunt, portraying the part of "Ophelia", the school teach-er who is learning to fly by the book only that is the book in one

hand while she flies the airplane with the other. Dot deserves a great

deal of credit for her novelty act. Virginia Clair acted as announcer

throughout the staged events and through the efforts of Ruthmary

Buckley Cole we were able to have our own address system. Mr and Mrs.

Potter, owners of the new television station, KBTV, arranged a tour of

the studio and also sponsored a cocktail party.

A business meeting and barbeque lunch were held at the Double Y Ranch

on Saturday, through the courtesy of the Texas Private Flyers Associa-
