GROUNDED PLANE AND BUS KEEPS CADETS SINGING
On Wednesday morning twenty-two Highacres cadets left Hazleton for
a dasils tour of the Olmstead Air Force base in Middletown, Penna. ) and a flight
in a C— 47.
Throughout the whole trip to the base, the cadets either studied ) slept or,
as a few u cool daddyols n made with their vocal chords ir,f.th the tops in jnwm,
Some of the hipsters who entertained those who weren't asleep were Jack Di Liberto,
Tee Jay Anthony, John Beccone, and Jack Burgraff.
Upon arrival at the base, the cadets were allowed to browse around the PX for
a short time and then they were taken to the personal equipment area where they
were fitted for parachutes , and instructed in the fine art of'a sUccessfUl descent
from a disabled aircraft.
The next stop for the visitors was the officers' club where they ate a hearty
chicken dinner at a nominal fee., among quite a variety of air force officers.
Dinner was augmented with a rather short game of pull. Cadet.Melito will verify
the fact that the game was short because before he got a chance to take a shot,
cadet Stauffer ordered all the cadets to fall in in front of the building.
From lunch eight lads headed fob the wild blue while the other cadets toured
the weather station, flight operations, the control tower, helicopter and winged
aircraft hangers, and other areas of interest to future air force men.
Lieutenant Vaughn and Sergeant Stempel from Penn State Campus were the cordial
and informative guides fck the day who made the tour very interesting.
After the first flight landed and the greenish-tint around several gills.
disappeared, the cadets who had not flown were told that the plane was grounded
because radio trouble had developed,
Since the plane was grounded and the tour completed, the bus arrived to make
the trip back to Hazbton. However the bus didn't go too far before radiator
complications set in and a delay began to irk the cadets. By eight o'clock, after
an attempt to proceed with the bus, another delay and a possible three-hour wait
for a relief bus nersuaded the cadets that they would make better time by hitch
hiking----- so trey did,
Even though some cadets were disappointed because they didn't fly and because
they had to hitch-hike, it is agreed that the trip was quite interesting, novel,
and loads of fun, Other cadets who were on the jaunt were:
Auerbach, Berosh, Biskis, Birt : Bysura,',Zemany„ Zimmerman, Yori : Stauffer,
Massage, MCMonigle, Mastroianni, Johson & Johnson, Scott, Gaydos, Teel.
