• A) Toy company Wham-O rolls out the first batch of their aerodynamic plastic discs, now known to millions of fans all over the world as Frisbees. The idea first began when William Frisbie opened the Frisbie Pie Company, and local university students would throw the empty pie tins to each other while yelling “Frisbie!”
• B) The deadliest earthquake in recorded history rocks China, killing an estimated 830,000 people. The quake is thought to measure between 8.0 and 8.3 on the Richter scale.

• D) The first two humans visit the deepest part of the ocean in the Pacific Ocean’s Mariana Trench, descending 36,000 feet in a submersible (deeper than Mt. Everest is high). They survive on 15 chocolate bars during the trip.
