APRIL fjovering The Evidence. City Celebrates The police car stopped, the motorcycle slowed and CAP stood at attention. In a matter of minutes over 100 units in the Sesquicentennial Celebration made their way around Clark Henry Park, Post Elementary, and J .V. High School. The celebration began at 1:00 at the shopping center at 17400 Northwest Freeway and Jones Road. Floats, fire ap- paratus from many surrounding communities, antique car, Longhorn steers, Merlin the Magician, area dignitaries, and many more came out to entertain. But entertaining was only part of the affair. At 7:00 p.m. the celebration had ended but 5,000 people had enjoyed the fun. Written by Tara Spinelli.

Spring Show Packs Auditorium The air filled with suspense as the audience impatiently waited for the curtains to open. Several dances had girls in poodles skirts and pony tails and the guys in T- shirts and slicked-back hair which portrayed the 1950's and 1960's theme for the Gold Duster Spring Show. I think a lot of people had fun with it. It was definately different, Deann Regiene said. Written by Denise Carew.
