Variety's The Word: If there's one word which characterizes this season's ski fashions it's variety. For a sampling: At the left, U-M coed Tally Walker wears an aqua warm-up suit with contrasting textures of diamond quilt and smooth nylon while Mike Fox sports "farmer pants" in bright green and yellow set off with yellow turtleneck and suspenders. Bright yellow boots complete his outfit. At the right, Tally Walker wears a fur-lined vest which zips or opens to show the lining inside, red, white and blue boots and a white western-style hat. Anne Derleth, holding psychedelic print skis, wears a purple jumpsuit in new stretch gabardine with a white shell underneath, along with a crash helmet which would double for motorcycling.

One-Piece Jumpsuit: Anne Derleth wears a one-piece white jumpsuit set off with a lime green turtleneck and thick European sun glasses -- nice for both the slopes and apres ski. The diamond quilted nylon is slimming and a change from conventional bulky sweaters. (Fashions by The Peak)

After getting her BA in social work from the University of Michigan in the 1950s, Victoria returned to work at Sumby Memorial Hospital in purchasing and housekeeping. She and her husband John Loomis had six children, including a set of triplets. She passed away in 2021.

Not the least of post-war additions at Gaylord are Alain Almon, manager of the Otsego Ski Club and skiing instructor, and his blonde wife, Stephanie, also an expert instructor. The Almons came to Michigan from the famed Mt. Tremblant, north of Montreal, where they had been skiing instructors for two years. They're shown above trying out the snow on one of the shorter runs at the Gaylord project.
