PAGE 6—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, Sept. 18, 1969 Gives report of trip to N. J. By Peggie West As the Silver Meteor pulled out of Columbia last Thursday night, I knew that this trip would be one that I should al ways remember. Everyone was in a gay mood. I don’t think too many of us got any sleep. During the wee hours of the morning I heard some snoring from the gentlemen, my hus band included. Some of the ladies aboard helped Mr. Carnes, a Greenville News re porter shoot pictures. We sure were helpful. After rocking and rolling we left our train at Philadelphia and boarded a bus for Atlantic City. Upon arriving there, we all waited in the mot el until our rooms were as signed. I chatted with Miss Massachusetts and was she pret ty. Miss Michigan was staying there also but I missed talking to her in the lobby. We all trotted over to see Brantlee and she looked very pretty with a white dress on and a new hair style. Her chap erone allowed her a few min utes for pictures and chitchat. Lunch was the next step and sleep for all of us. Friday night arrived with the crowd having dinner and the seafood was so delicious. We met the Newberry College group back at the Convention Hall. Professor Conrad Park had giv en them a few banners and a Newberry College blanket. They were ready for action. Brantlee appeared in swimsuit and look ed beautiful. We all stood up and cheered her on. Saturday was the big day. We walked up and down the board walk several times. The board walk seemed to be two miles long. I couldn’t get over all the many kinds of shops along the boardwalk. You can buy any thing from A to Z there. I be came lost from the rest of the crowd by gazing into the shop windows and when I arrived back at the motel two hours later, everyone had worried about me. Boy, did that make me feel great. After recovering from sore feet, we dressed for dinner and had a small birthday party for Mrs. Ralph Waldrop of Silver- street. She was so surprised that she still isn't over it. After all the tears of delight were shed, back to convention hall we walked. I must admit the show was terrific and the girls were too. Bert Parks even look ed good. And if anyone wonders what to wear to a Miss Amer ica Pageant, let me say that I saw dungarees as well as furs and gowns. I stayed up until 2:30 a.m. waiting on Miss America to re turn to the motel. She finally arrived escorted by eight hel- meted motorcycle cops. The guarding of her was fantastic. She is very lovely and was in a slight daze. She was rushed to her room followed by scream ing women. I turned and said goodnight and goodbye to At lantic City. Let me say for the Brantlee Special group, we were delight ed to go on the trip. Brantlee was delighted to see us. We love our Brantlee as ever before and will be pulling for her the rest of her reign. The Brantlee group consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Cog gins, Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Park Mr. and Mrs. M. P. Miller, May or and Mrs. Clarence Shealy, Nancy and Mrs. Janie Mayer, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Waldrop, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Bowers, Mr. and Mrs. Billye West, Sher iff and Mrs. Gene Shealy, Mrs. Mildred Kneece, Mrs. Frances Beck, Mrs. Ben Buddlh, Mrs. Martha Bouknight, Mrs; Mary Dickert, Mrs. Dick Shealy and Pat, Mrs. Lewis Ringer, Mrs. Wertz, Mrs. Mary Ringer, Mrs. Marian Ruff, Mrs. Mable Wick er, Mrs. Nelle Antley from Laurens, Mr. and Mrs. John Graydon from Laurens, John Ferguson from Fort Lawn and Leon Carnes from The Green ville News.
