WAVES Get a Roller Skater

Juanita Russell, 35, for ten years a professional roller skater, joined the WAVES Thursday at the Des Moines navy recruiting station. But before she hung up her skates for the duration, the former all-state basketball guard from Centerville, Ia., took one last turn around a local rink. She was joined by another WAVE, Beulah Calvert (left), 22, of What Cheer, Ia.
