TONI LEBLANC Painless T ree Surgeoness Specialty : Heartbroken Trees BASEBALL T h i s Year ' s Transoceanic Series. At the Transoceanic Series this year, the tall, husky guv in a blue suit, with the face mask and body protectors that stood behind home plate was our own Jim Spence. If you remember, Jim got in a fight with Fred Williams and a fan beaned him with a soda bottle. GOLF World Championship It wasn’t Ben Logan who won the world Championship for those who TRY to play golf this year. It was a girl we all know, Ellen Killeen. She won by using one club only, a putter. ( )nly Ellen could do it ! HORSE RACING Hurchill Downs If it ' s horse racing, it ' s strict- ly on the level ; ask Louise Proctor. She ' ll vouch for it. She is a famous figure around Hur- chill Downs and has been since her graduation from second grade. She owns a string of work horses. PRO HOCKEY .Madison, Round Garden The fellow who played in Madison Round Garden and helped bring his team to victory on his two runner skates, was Warren Dalton. How he did it w-as and still is a mystery. We think he used a square puck. BASKETBALL “Scofftrotters vs. Keltics” Remember that spine tingling game of December, 74? Who do you suppose made the basket that gained the last two po : nts to decide the win in favor of the B a r 1 e m Scofftrotters ?” None other than our own 5 ’3 Bobby Lane! He is considered a pro in his field. . . . basketball, that is. Showing great sportmanship on the Keltics’ side was Gary Mytych, who scored fifty-two of the fifty-two- baskets shot. Is this unusual???? MOTORCYCLISTS Did you see those black suede toreadors and motorcycle boots ? They belong to Joyce Balcomb. Her foe, dressed in pink denim trousers and drag shoes, is none other than Mary Lou Post. They are nationally known for their skill in motor cycling and lecturing on “speed kills.” PROPHECIES WRITTEN CHEAPLY This is a sample Louise Proctor, Chm. Janet Landis Ruth Cronje 29

ARMCHAIR TRAVELS Oh, if I could travel, I’d go to some of the places that have been seen by some of North Reading’s residents. My means of travel would he interesting. For instance, I might waterski (jet propelled, of course). Why, you will recall that Bill Brennan, on his round the world trip, found this means not only relaxing, but quick and wet. His comment on this trip was ‘‘A great sport for ducks! If you plan to travel to Rus- sia in the next few years, Sandy Blanchard, who is a missionary, would he glad to give you a guided tour. BUT . . . make sure you come on a Friday her onlv day out of Concentration Damp. Bettiann MacLeod has just returned from seeing Hawaii through a porthole. How did she do it? By joining the Navy, of course ! “Around the World in Three Days is the song Carol W edge is singing. She is going in a twenty-horse power blimp and plans to meet some of those “continental men.’’ When you journey to Africa, be sure to stop and see Dick alsh. You can recognize him by his dimpled knees which show from beneath his white Bermudas. Oh, by the way, he’s in the Foreign Legion. If you get as far as India on your world wide tour, he sure to stop and see Robert Cook and his harem at the Taj Lahal, which he built in memory of his favorite wife.

EMILY MOST’S HINTS FOR MORE LUXURIOUS LIVING The restaurant of the year Anderson ' s Green Coach Inn. was chosen because of its newly developed way to process edi- ble seaweed. David has had such great success ; of course, credit is due to his exceptional crew. H is head cook for whom he searched for ten years is Phyllis Palino, a specialist in the field. She learned from the experienced h a n cl of her mother-in-law. The new way of processing dishes to get them clean was developed by head dishwasher, Marv Ann Bat- tista. Mary holds the champion- ship for not breaking dishes in her career, seventeen years.
