Last week the Lucan Irish Six reorganized for the 1956,-5? sea­ son, electing the following ’slate of officers: President, Jack Ready; man­ ager, Ivan. Hearn; vice-presi­ dents, Karl O’Neil, Les Hind­ marsh and Joe Benn; secretary* Clare Stanley; treasurer, Bill McGregor; club doctor, Dr. B. George. The directors are Art Hod­ gins, Jos. Haskett, Art Black, Jerry Van Bussel, and Jack Steacy. Trainer is George Ward; equipment, Joe Haskett; public­ ity, Bob Murray (timekeeper); statistician, Vic Hodgins. Life­ time honorary president is H. . B. Langford. Tlie ’'Irish Six” held their first practise Sunday night with about 25 hopefuls trying out for pos­ itions. Coach Bob White took a very active part on the ice and it looks like he’s going to have plenty of man-power to work with. A talk with Jack Ready disclosed the possibility of sev­ eral new candidates, who are rumored to be top-rate puck- sters. Lucan’s perennial leading supporter, Harvey Langford, was present for the work-out and appeared satisfied with the show­ ing. Further to hockey, Lucan is going all out for minor teams, under the able guidance of an old pro, Fern Fillion, who has recently been employed by the arena. Fern pulled on the pads last night to take his turn' in the workouts with the Irish Six (and he didn't appear too rusty, either).. The London , entry in Junior is wbrHng -but at the arena this week and, invito any. district boys for a try-out., Reserved seat holders are re­ minded that they have until next Alonday to renew their res­ ervations. Air. Fred Candy, pres­ ident of the South Middlesex Hockey League, dropped in to reserve Thursday night for sen­ ior hockey and Monday nights for midgets, as of-November 5. A minor explosion resulted from a suggestion yours truly made to Air. Candy, to the ef­ fect that the Lucan midget team was anticipating celebration of the championship, this season. (Afore on this later.) Last Tuesday night, the ladies of the arena .auxiliary were ad­ dressed by Rev, Mr* Johnston, of St, Thomas, who explained the construction of a swimming pool, which they are seriously considering building. Based on past performances, when tliis group -tackles an endeavor, it has a way of becoming a liighly- sdcccssful venture. Looks very promising! The Boys* Club attained the distinction of having met with terrific success on their first effort, a well-attended dance last Saturday night. The presi­ dent, Alan Ready, wishes to thank, on behalf of the boys, the many, parents who supported this function'. The public school is holding its local track meet on Friday afternoon. The musical comedy schedul­ ed for presentation the end of November, has, some 40 mem­ bers in the cast—an excellent cross-section of c o m m u n i t y- miiided people, promising a ‘bang-up’ performance. The drama group will hold its own with entertainment coming up for Hallowe’en night. Personal Items The Lucan United Church will* hold anniversary services Sun­ day, October 21.
