She’s Not Really Distressed
This strapping young guardsman, Pfc. Ronald Strope appears to be
having a delightful time even though this snap suggests he may be
stepping on his pretty partner’s tootsie! However, in all fairness to
this guardsman we will admit that our photographer reported he
really is a good dancer and that the young lady’s apparent look of
distress is more the effect of being whirled unexpectedly into an
exploding camera flash.
We’ll Sit This One Out
Pfc. Mitch Chya and his wife look pretty cozy sitting this one dance
out on the sideline.
This is The Best Part Of i.G.
Obviously happy and enjoying the festivities of the evening are
Pvt. El Jack Burekhard and his pretty young companion.
They’re Enjoying The Party
Supply Sergeant E6 Reynold Morris and wife thoroughly enjoyed
the dance and dinner following the annual inspection.
