HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS TAKE OVER LAKEFRONT
PLAZA FOR PROM
East
Farewell – The Regional High School seniors took over the Lakefront Plaza on
Saturday night. They erected several tents, set up a stage and placed tables
and chairs all around the perimeter. They then all gathered for their senior prom.
The young handsome gentlemen were dressed in tuxedos and the beautiful young women
were in glamorous gowns. This was a dinner dance and the dinner was supplied by
four of the families from the class. The O’Malley’s, the Hagan’s, the Donahue’s
and the Miller’s all got together and prepared a sumptuous buffet of roast beef
and mashed potatoes, a baked green bean casserole, a fresh tossed salad and for
dessert Peg O’Malley’s famous extra dark chocolate triple layer cake. The music
was supplied by East
Farewell’s own favorite band, Gus Templeton and his Swing Band. Many
members of the senior class pitched in and decorated the Plaza with lights and
fresh cut flowers. The entire Plaza was converted into a very fragrant flowery
spectacle with electric lights and tiki torches all around the perimeter. The
buffet tables rimmed the area and the dining tables and chairs were also
circling the Plaza. The stage was set so the band faced out to the lake with
some lights shining out on the lake making for fabulous scenes for photos.
The senior class, almost en mass, strolled down Main
Street all dressed in their finery and looking splendid indeed. The balmy
spring evening made the event all the better. This prom was completely
different from any earlier event. Being held outside the school was one thing
but to have it on the Lakefront Plaza with a sit-down dinner buffet, dancing
and delightful dessert made it a truly memorable event.

SPORTS
TRAVELERS
HOOK ANGLERS
Mountainview – The Traveler’s bats came alive in
their game against the Anglers on Saturday. They crushed the Fishermen 8-1. The
Travelers started fast with three runs in the first and did not let up, getting
at least a hit in every inning except the sixth when beleaguered Anglers
pitcher, Archie Boswell, struck out the side. The Traveler’s pitcher, Danny
Lane was fine in his own right, striking out 8 and only allowing one run, a
blast by Angler slugger, Bart Winters, in the seventh.
The
Travelers hot offense was highlighted by first inning rally with a leadoff
single by Ralph Francis followed by a double by Watson but a great throw from
the outfielder, Denny Doyle, held Francis at third. Johnny Cloos was able to
drive in Francis with a sacrifice fly. But Tony Anthony came up next and drove
a Boswell fastball out of the park. The Travelers were also able to score in
fourth with three hits and two walks, in the fifth and finally in the seventh
with four hits and another homer by Johnny Cloos.
The
Travelers were coming off a big win against CGW last week and this win was good
repeat effort. The Anglers have been having some problems with their offense lately;
they have only scored 3 runs in the last four games. Winter is their best
hitter and he has been in a slump until his homer in the seventh.
The
Travelers are hoping to continue in their winning way as they take on the Cedar
Creek Bulls next week. The game begins at 3:00 at the Bulls Stadium in Cedar
Creek.
