The “hard-time” dance held
by the Teen Town at the Arena
last Friday night was well re
presented by jeans, pigtails and
plaid shirts. Thanks to the teen
ers it turned out to be quite a
success. There were numerous
prizes given out through the
night for door tickets and novel-
nylons, chocolates, passes to the
theatre, bowling passes,
other valuable articles. As
can see, teeners, the prizes
well worth winning.
Nominations of candidates

also taken throughout the eve
ning. Candidates nominated for
Mayor of the Teen Town were
Chuck Cowen and Don Bergie,
both of whom are quite worthy
of the position. The Council also

girls and six boys), We received
nominations for about eighteen
Aidermen. These will be posted
at our next dance

Our next Teen

A man went to the bar-and
ordered a Martini, drank it,
chewed the bowl of the glass up
and threw the stem over his
shoulder. He continued this for
about six Martinis and noticed
that the bartender was staring
at him.
“I guess you think I’m crazy,
I don’t you?” he asked.
| “I sure do,” the bartender re-
i plied. "“The stems are the best
part.”

Floodlights
In the editorial columns of
this issue you will note ‘an inter
esting article on floodlighting

Community Park, We certainly
go along with that idea as long
as the scheme includes arcs for
both baseball and softball.
Exeter is a baseball centre and
that has been proven by the fact
that even with a mediocre team
in the last few seasons we have
drawn larger crowds

about the financial“ end of the
idea but if after investigation it
looks like at. sound scheme we
think it will"'be a big boost for
sports in Exeter. As we mention
ed before the baseball team drew
well at the gates and the girls
did likewise. If then the games
could be held later you’d see a
larger turnout still. The reason
for this is that games now are

The ladies
series ended last week with quite
a resounding thud. Another week
of that and some of the gals
would have had heart seizure.
In the “A” group, the Skunks
managed to scrape through as
winners, but ony by the narrow
est of margins. Three teams end
ed up right behind Marion Wal
ters’ team just one
of first place.
In the “B” group,
the Housewives and
Strikes ended in a
tie. This resulted in
death playoff on Friday night,
which the Housewives won. Even
in this series the final score dif
fered by only a few pins.
Last Wednesday night, the
Jolly Eight laced the Musketeers
3-1. Helen Sears showed the way
for the Eight, spilling 522 (21S)
with Pat Bush top for the Mus
keteers with 457 155).
The Happy Gals took the
Frisky Sisters to camp and
blanked the latter 4-0. Marg.
Thornton rolled 5GO (198) to
head the Gals parade, while for
the Frisky Sisters, Ethel Cush
man was top trundler with 529
(224).
In the games between the
Housewives and Whizzers a split
in points occurred. Julia Higgins
spilled 544 (257) to help the
Housewives, while for the Whiz
zers, Marg. Miners turned in a
beautiful 641 (301).
* * * *
In Friday night's trundling,
the Hot Dogs Split with the Yarn
Spinners. Shirley Darling tossed
522 (193) to pace the Dogs.
Anita Hunter turned in 518
(193) for the Yarn Spinners. In
these games, if either team had
won three points, it would have
tied the Skunks for first place.
The Rookies also lost out when
they lost one point to the Happy
Gals. A clean sweep for them
would have meant a tie for first
place. Joyce Dawson topped the
Rookies with 5,8)2 (229), While
the best the Happy >Gals could
do was 525 by Linda Williams.
The Housewives and Lucky
Strikes played to a draw on
Thursday night, thereby Being
for first place. Then on Friday
night in the playoff the House
wives won. In Thursday night’s
games, Gladys Bierling was tops
with 499 (218) with Velma Har

for the Strikes.
