Q. C. DAY OF TRIUMPH...
For more than 1,100 Quarter Century Club Sohioans, nothing quite matched this year's 19th annual reunion on Sept. 24.
The weatherman came through with a warm, sunny day. There were good food and plenty of fun-fare. Q.C'ers toured the town on special busses; shared in the enjoyment of a deluxe banquet, a flossy fashion show, and the all-round good fellowship that prevailed.
At the banquet, they were greeted by President Charles E. Spahr. Following a brief talk by Clyde T. Foster, now serving as a Sohio director, they were addressed by Samuel H. Elliott, senior vice-president for Exploration and Production.
Tired, but pleasantly so, Q.C'ers turned in after watching some engaging high jinks on the stage of Taft Auditorium. Now they're looking forward to next year's reunion in Columbus.
