BLACK TIE DINNER OPENS THE
FLOWER SHOW
East Farewell- A new, classy social event debuted on Wednesday
night as the Flower Show Committee hosted a “Secret Sneak Preview Festive Formal
Dinner” kicking off the 1958 Flower Show in grand fashion. The Committee
chaired by Miss Donna Silverman, sent out 75 invitations to sponsors and
participants and opened up a portion of the huge tent erected on the
Fairgrounds that afforded a view of the floor of the show but no one was
allowed to go on the floor proper. The dinner was catered by several local
establishments including the Lost Oasis and Lou’s
Deli. There was after dinner music provided Gus
Templeton and his Swing Band. The real star was the floor of the Flower
Show that was attracting long stares and very deep analysis by all the
attendees.
The Flower Show
officially opens tomorrow and is expected to be fabulous. This year has more
florists, more exhibits, more teaching events in all just more of everything.
The show will run longer than any show before it, staying open three days
longer and with the Sneak Preview Dinner it is opening three days earlier. No
one is complaining, though. This event has come back strong from some difficult
times a couple of years ago and everyone is extremely happy about that.

SPORTS
COUGARS CLAW CAPTAINS
Fort Lee – The Cougars got back on the winning wagon last week
when they convincingly beat the Captains, 52-47. The Captains have been having
a hard year with their entire starting lineup made up sophomores. They have
improved through the course of the season but their inexperience and lack of
leadership has taken its toll on the team. The Cougars beat the Captains
earlier this season in their only other meeting and Fridays game was not much
different. The Cougars took a quick 6-0 lead and then started to take run and
shoot position for the rest of the first half. The Captains were able to keep
the score close and at one point they were able to take a lead, 16-14, but that
was short lived and the Cougars were able to go into the locker room at the
half ahead 27-23.
The Captains
came out in the second half with a pressing defense to try to slow down the
running Cougars. The tactic worked and the Cougars shifted out of the running
game and back to their more straight forward, methodical game that was highlighted
with sharp passes, cuts and very strong floor management. While this type of
game has been the Cougars breads and butter this season it wasn’t as exciting
as the loose, free-wheeling game they showed in the first half. The straight
forward game did produce the desired results though, they worked the center and
they were able to shoot very successfully from the outside. The Captains were
just unable to keep up.
Cougars center,
Dave McGill, led all scorers with a total of 18 points followed by Fergal
Conner with 14 and forward Don Tasker with 14 also. Walter Ferguson came in off
the bench and scored a surprising 10 points in the second half. The Captains
lead scorer was their center Billy Hogan with 20 followed by center, Frank
Dunn, with 12.
The Cougars return
home next week to take on the Southport Hawks who beat them earlier this
season, 50-46. The Cougars hope the home court advantage will be in force for
this game because the two teams are a fair match and both are sitting at third
place in the league standings. The game begins on Friday evening at 7:30PM in
the Regional High Gymnasium.

KENNEDY PREDICTS SWEEPING DEMS WIN – TRAGEDY
IN KENTUCKY – STUDENT RIOTS IN ARIZONA – AT THE MOVIES
Speaking to
reporters, Sen. John F. Kennedy predicts
sweeping Democratic victories this year.
“Victory is in the air - the handwriting is on the wall - this is going
to be the greatest Democratic year since 1936,” he promised. “What we need in
America today is not so much confidence in the economy but confidence in our
leadership. The Soviets have outshone us in scientific achievements. They have
outmaneuvered us in trade and aid. They have outstripped us in the race for
ultimate weapons and outer space.” Kennedy told his audience the Democrats
could pick up as many as 12 Senatorial seats this year on their way to a
Presidential triumph in 1960.
Near Prestonburg, Kentucky a school bus
loaded with children hits a wrecker and an automobile and drops into a rain-swollen
river. Some 23 children died.
Hundreds of students from Arizona State
College at Tempe demonstrate wildly at the State Capitol. The students were
protesting proposed legislation which would change the name of their school to
Tempe University.
