Scottish Highlander newsletter, 1975-1976

              HIGHLANDER
1975-76
Dear Friends:
Please accept this belated
NEWSLETTER. There are
many reasons for the delay -
but we know you will want to
get the news, no matter how
old or tragic it proves to be.
M a ry J a n e H aw t r e y ,
secretary for a year and three
months, passed away suddenly
as you will read later in detail.
Because of my love and ad­miration
for Highlanders, I felt
I must say ‘yes’ when asked to
fill in temporarily at the office,
and to help with the upcoming
European Tour - May 16 to
June 22, 1976. Consequently,
again you will have word from
me, other than the account of
the fabulous African Trip
Norma, my daughter, and I
had last year from March 22 to
May 6, 1975. The following was
written soon after our return,
and was sent on to the office:
(M R S . H . J . ) N A D IN E
THORNTON, 417 Ferson
Avenue, Iowa City, Iowa 52240
(Secretary, Scottish Highlan­ders,
1955-1975)
Dear Highlanders:
Yes, the African Trip was
terrific! It was on a Saturday
morning, March 22, 1975, that.
two H ig h l a n d e r s <L in n e a
M c D o n a l d a n d T om
Wiederecht) took me to Cedar
Rapids Airport to board United
Airlines for Chicago. That, as
many of you know, is only an
hour’s flight. While waiting for
the plane to New York, I saw
some 20 young students, mem­bers
of the American Institute
of Foreign Study, en route to
Paris. Of course, it reminded
me of Highlander Foreign
Trips, and made me feel a bit
lonely - as I was alone for the
first time in ages - by 2:25 p.m.
I was on my way to New York,
chatting with some skiers who
were just returning from
Aspen, Colorado, and an­ticipating
meeting Norma, my
daughter, who was to be my
pal on this long-planned trip!
Unfortunately, both flights,
Norma’s from Los Angeles,
and mine from Chicago were
delayed because of fog at JFK
Airport! But we met at 6:35
p.m., ran to the shuttle bus that
was to take us to the South
African Airways terminal, but
it was the last stop on the long
trek around the airport, and
when we got to our Flight No
208, we were told it was just
now taxing off. We had missed
our plane to Johannesburg!!
The only thing to do, it
seemed, was to go directly to
British Airways which was in
the same terminal, and ask
them to re-route us some way!
After a half hour or so, the very
kind agent had tickets for us on
a plane via London, within the
hour. As we were leaving the
office, who should come run­ning
toward Norma but ‘Lou’, a
girl she had met at Los Angeles
airport, who was going to
Johannesburg herself. She
quickly informed us that the SA
flight had been delayed three
hours, because of hydraulic
brakes problems, so they had
taxied back to the landing area
- but were wondering where we
were!!! Even the pilots and
stewards were looking for us!
Well - we were grateful for this
word, went back to British
Airways, asked if we might get
our tickets back, and cancel
the flight via London.She was
most gracious, and before too
long we were all set to board
South African Airways by 10:00
p.m.
It was hard to realize where
we were when it was 4:00 a.m.
(7:00 a.m. New York time) and
they were serving us juice and
breakfast out over the Atlantic.
We re-fueled at Cape Verde
Island, a small spot called Sal
Island, where there were many
salt mounds, only one other
plane at the spot, a large bar­racks
- like building where we
got a m is e r a b le cup of-
Portugese coffee. We crossed
the Equator, we were told, then
after traveling some 8,000
'miles we came down at Jan
Smuts Airport, Johannesburg.
Here we had no difficulty going
through Customs, only needed
to show our passports and vis­as
- but we were a bit surprised
to see signs for WHITES and
NON-WHITES ab o u t the
airport, for getting tickets,
passports, restaurants, etc.
We continued on South
African Airways, a delightfully
polite and considerate airline,
to cape Town, where ALL the
wonderful relatives met us,
and took us to their lovely
home, where we slept until the
middle of that afternoon - then
were ready for tea at 4:00 and
a delicious evening meal at 7.
It goes without saying that
the weeks in Cape Town were
tremendous! There was cons­tant
sunshine. Table Mountain,
on either side are the heights of
Devil’s Peak and Lion’s Head,
th e n a s e r ie s of pe ak s
stretching toward Cape Point.
We went there often, for a pic­nic
or tea, and were often
amused by baboons, who would
crawl on top of cars, and
snatch food, if you weren’t
watchful! The foliage and
flowers in the valleys and glens
are magnificent. The seacoast
is beautiful, with the most
gorgeous blue-green ocean,
and soft, pale yellow sandy
beaches all the way to Cape
Peninsula -The Cape of Good
Hope, where the cold Atlantic
and warm Indian Oceans meet.
There are some Dutch Colonial
Houses to be seen with their un­ique
thatched roofs, the famous
Groote Schuur Hospital and
Rhodes Memorial at Ron-debosch,
just 5 miles from
Cape Town.
There is a delightful custom
of ‘tea time’ in South Africa!
We were wakened or could
have a cup of coffe or tea in
bed; then again at 10:30 a.m.,
at 4:00 p.m., and before going
to bed at night! Everyone
seems to stop doing whatever
his work is, and has that social
hour or so over a cup of tea,
and cakes or sandwiches as
well. Why do we Americans
always seem to be in such a
rush that we’ve never acquired
this charming habit?
The time sped along, seeing
and doing so much in this most
unusual and beautiful city that
has everything - ocean, moun­ta
in s , f low e rs , tre e s , a
University, a Castle whose
foundations were laid in 1666,
the legislative capital, where
the two Houses of Parliament
sit for about five months every
year. We were fortunate to
meet Lady and Sir Graaff,
head of the United Party, at tea
and at a Political Rally one
evening. We were dined and
wined at lovely places, but
especially at the home of our
beloved relatives, the Gordon-
Davis’.
It was April 13, when we had
packed the VW van with all our
belongings, and started off on
the wonderful 1100 mile trip to
meet the remaining two re-lative-
families in East London
and Durban.
We took the Garden Route
tour, on the Indian Ocean, stop­ping
at one of the famous os­trich
farms at Oudtshoorn,
where we got to ride an ostrich
(?), then to the famous Cango
Cave, where we had IV2 hours
underground viewing the
largest chambers I ’ve ever
seen before in a cave. We drove
through the Transkei and Cis-kei
country - then on to East
London, where my youngest
brother-in-law lives. It is
another fascinating city on the
ocean, with a harbour, and
ships coming and going, and
fisherman at the wharves br­inging
in the big ones!!!
One can see natives ithey
are the Blacks), and coloured,
as well as Afrikaans. Dutch,
English and East Indian races.
The white population is around
4 million, coloureds some 2.2
million, Asians 0.7 million,
blacks 16.4 million - a total of
some 23.3 million.
After a marvelous time in
East London, at the beaches,
delicious meals at hotels, etc.,
we journeyed on to Durban - an
exotic city, with a subtropical
climate, wide streets and
flowering trees. Their Parks
and gardens are gorgeous!
Never have I seen flowers,
shrubs and trees grow SO BIG.
We stayed at a lovely hotel
while in Durban, only 4 blocks
from our relatives' apartment,
and were certainly treated like
VIP’s there, as well as the
customary teas every few
hours throughout the day and
evening.
On April 27, we flew from
Durban to Johannesburg 1 after
very tearful goodbyes - won­dering
when will we ever meet
again??) on South African
Airways, where we were
‘frisked’ before boarding the
Olympic Airline that was to
take us to Nairobi, Kenya, the
beginning of our Safari! And
what a city is Nairobi, too! We
were at the Norfolk Hotel, only
a few blocks from the Universi­ty,
and the city proper, and
were so courteously treated
from the moment we arrived
there until the final day. The
Blacks were hospitable, ter­rific
- only whites we saw were
tourists! We were told by a
most competent Tour Director,
Mr. Shilaho, that Mr. Ooko
would pick us up to take us on
our safari that next day - April
28! We found that we were the
only ones to travel on this 7-
passenger VW zebra painted
vehicle - and we did have the
royal treatment to be sure. We
stopped at charming lodges,
viewing wild game from our
balconies, or riding out over
the veldt, or brush and bush,
looking for lions, seeing
g i r a f f e s , h u n d r e d s of
elephants, buffalo, wildebeest,
beautiful varieties of deer <im-palas,
gazelles, Thomson’s
buck, Springbok, on, and on),
jumping and leaping over the
rocks and through the brush;
ostriches, zebras, rhinos, hip­pos,
forest hogs, - you name it -
we saw it - EXCEPT for lions,
cheetash, and leopards. They
were sparce!
One evening at Mountain
Lodge we were told we could be
called in the middle of the
night, if lions, or cheetahs, or
leopards should come to the
water holes - but unfortunately
none came the night we were
there.
However, we had one fine
morning of finding lions just
out of Kiiaguini Lodge, in Am-boseli
Game Reserve, and we
were fortunate in getting some
good pictures of lionesses as
they lay sunning themselves in
the brush.
We saw many, many dif­ferent
kinds of birds as well,
and at Lake Nakuru, where
they have the largest concen­tration
of flamingoes on re­cord!
The pink reflection in the
Lake of these fantastic birds
was phenominal. We saw
storks, herons, egrets, geese,
ducks, s an d p ip e rs hawk
eagles, sunbirds, kingfishers,
again, you name it, they were
there!
The greatest place to see
hundreds of elephants, all
sizes, and some who had
rubbed their bodies in the red
sand, then thrown water over
their backs so that they had
cakes of mud on them, was at
Kilaguni Lodge. Here, also, we
could see Mt. Kilimanjaro in
the distance, as well as Mt.
Kenya from our stay at
Nakuru, not far from the Lake.
This safari ended on May 4,
when we were driven back to
Nairobi, and boarded the East
African Airways (not too good
an airline, by the way!), re­fueling
at Uganda and Rome,
then arriving in London early
in the morning. After sending
a cablegram to California
Family, we had a bit of lunch in
Heathrow Airport, got on TWA
Flight No. 771, which was a 747,
and it seemed before we knew
it we’d arrived in Chicago,
went through customs easily,
and Norma went on to Los
Angeles American Airways,
and I came on back to Cedar
Rapids Airport by 6:30 p.m. I
came on home to Iowa City by
limousine, with only one other
passenger with me. In our con­servation,
I was amazed to find
out that she had been bom in
South Africa, her grandfather
had owned an ostrich farm in
Oudtshoorn, and she had lived
in Iowa City 15 years, but we
had never happened to meet
before. Indeed, I was thrilled to
be able to chat the last 40
minutes of my BIG journey,
with someone who knew and
loved Africa!
We have seen and loved a
beautiful Continent, and Won­derful
people. We have been on
a trip that has always seemed
like a dream - but thanks to
many, many terrific friends
who have urged and helped
toward this adventure, it
became a REALITY.
If you’re ready for a thrill,
visit AFRICA.
Thank you, my beloved
Highlanders, for being YOU.
As ever, great love, and bon
accord.

Dear Alums:
Already another year has
passed. The Highlander year
has been a busy one full of
pleasant experiences and one
tragic one. The untimely death
of our s e c re ta ry , Mary
Hawtrey, was a terrible loss to
everyone who knew her. Her
friendly spirit and dedication •
to Highlanders will be remem­bered
always.
Nadine Thornton has kindly
lent her services once again to
the Highlanders and is filling in
the gap until a new secretary
can be hired. This dear lady
has given so much of herself to
our band and the Highlanders
are fortunate to include her
among its freatest supporters.
She is truly one of the great
ladies of this world.
The band stands at 75 mem­bers
at this time with a project­ed
growth to 95 for the 1976-1977
performance season. We
travelled this year to Bloom­ington,
Indiana, where we
performed at the Iowa-Indiana
football game and we gave two
major spring concerts, one in
Iowa City and one in Cedar
Rapids. Parades, half-time
performances, small shows,
and practice more than filled in
the time between September
and May.
This week 40 members of the
band leave for Europe. Dennis
Loftin will take charge of the
tour with Craig and Nadine
lending able support. My wife
and I are expecting our first
child in July and we felt a trip
to Europe at this time would be
a bit much.
I have accepted a job
teaching percussion at the
University of South Dakota
next year and we will be leav-ing
Iowa City in August.
Highlanders are fortunate to
have Michael Pierce as their
director for next year. He and I
plan to work together this sum­mer
to make the transition as
smooth as possible.
I want to take this opportuni­ty
to thank you Alums for hav­ing
given so generously to our
scholarship and travel funds.
Your contributions mean more
than we can express. You are
the reason that Highlanders
are more than just another or­ganization
and I hope this
marvelous tradition of giving
will continue always.
I am glad to have had the op­portunity
to direct the Scottish
Highlanders these last two
years. I now know as you do
what a special group this really
is - outside and in. It will
always have my support just as
I ’m sure it will have yours.
Sincerely,
Howard Meeker
Director - 1974-76
The 1975-76 season has been a
most successful one for the
Scottish Highlanders. Their
performances during the foot­ball
season were consistently
first class. The decision to use
first year people in the shows
was a wise one, and one which
contributed greatly to the fine
appearances on the field.
The results of the instruc­tional
program were most evi­dent
in the "Afternoon in the
Highlands " concert on April 10.
The addition of the folksingers
gave even greater variety to a
well rehearsed and well ex­ecuted
concert program.
We are most grateful to
Nadine Thornton for her will­ingness
to step in as tem­porary
secretary following
Mary Hawtrey's tragic death,
and are particularly glad that
she will be taking the European
trip with our Highlanders.
The staff next year will be
headed by Michael Pierce,
graduate student in the School
of Music who will serve as
director. Craig Hazelbaker will
return as pipe instructor and a
new drum instructor will be
selected to replace Dennis Lof-tin
who is unavailable next
year.
My c o n g r a tu la t io n s to
Howard Meeker, the staff and
the men and women of the
Scottish Highlanders who have
worked so hard to make this an
outstanding year. Best of luck
for the future!
Sincerely,
Frank Piersol
Director of Bands

MEMORIAL
The Highlanders were very
saddened to learn of the death
of Cynthia Waddell <1966-70
piper) on December 23, 1974 in
Evanston. 111. She was buried
in Port Huron, Mich. Her death
was attributed to an aneurysm.
After leaving the Highlan­ders.
Cindy joined the Shannon
Rovers Pipe Band ip'Chicago.
Members of the Shannon Rov­ers
and the Port Huron Pipe
Band were pallbearers at the
funeral and four Rovers piped.
Several of Cindy’s friends
established a memorial fund in
her name. They asked that we
use the money to purchase a
lasting gift for the Highlan­ders.
After much discussion,
the group decided that we real­ly
could utilize a stereo system
with which to listen and learn.
Its music has truly become a
living memorial. The gift pro­vides
a valuable teaching aid
and a constant source of enjoy­ment
for all Highlanders. We
are very grateful to Cindy’s
parents and the following
friends who made it possible:
Mr. and Mrs. A. Thomas Wad­dell,
Mrs. Terry Seaton Petit,
Carrie Vanderwilt, Margo
L aws o n , Mr s . Nad ine ,
Thornton, Mr. and Mrs. Fred
Whyte, Leslie Hoenshied,
Deborah Hanson, Diane Shaff
and Rosemary Drobnich.

of Florence through the heart
of ancient and medieval Italy
to Rome , capi tal ot the
Republic of Italy, and the
center of the Roman Catholic
Church, it is the city of the
Popes, of Caesars, of large

day is free.
JUNE 13—SUNDAY

Of note is that the
Piazza Venezia dominated by
the imposing monument to
King Victor Emmanuel II is
the heart of the city. It forms
the end of the famous Corso,
the main street of Rome, lined
with splendid buildings and
luxurious shops. It was along
this street from the 16th to the
18th centuries that the great
men made their entry to Rome,
and this might be a good star­ting
place for you to begin your
own exploring. Visit the many
museums and art galleries, or
explore the shops from small
boutiques to the top designer
houses. Ah, Roma!

Peter’s Square and Basilica.

years ago. Paris is today a
living memorial to its past
history, and these historical
reminders are visible in the

composed. You will find the
Parisians are as proud and
majestic as their city, and
equally as fascinating. Time is
yours upon arrival.
