day night in a Just-for-fun soft-
ball game at the Little League
ball park.
When the dust had cleared
from five furious innings, the
Kiwanis Club was ahead, 17-7.
Dr. Bob Loerwald was the
Babe Ruth of the evening — with
the lone home run to his credit.
“Quite a few players hit the
ball hard enough for a homer,”
an onlooker commented, "but
they just couldn't run fast enough
to make it around”
Line-up for the victorious Ki-
wanis club included the follow-
ing: Joe Richardson, Pete Guth-
rie, Lois Davis, Bob Loerwald,
Charles Roth, William Fenoglio
Anthony Thibodeaux, J. L. Long,
Suffering defeat, but striving
with vigor all the way, were:
Don Crow, Elton Hill, Pete Plax-
co, Don Ashley, Leonard Ashley,
Billy Neeid, Leon Brown, Rick
Rodrigs, Alex Griffin and Al-
vin Roberta.

Resigns
Speegle Berry resigned as
president of the Bowie National
Bank Tuesday night to accept
a position as president of a new
bank in White Settlement, a sub-
urb of Fort Worth.
September 18 is the effective
dnte of the resignation, Glynn
Griffin, chairman of the board
of directors, said.
"We have accepted the resig-
nation with regret,” Griffin said,
and wish every success to Ber-
ry and his family in their new
home."
Berry came to Bowie early
this year as president of the
then-new Bowie National
He quickly took his place in
the civic life of Bowie and was
instrumental in establishing a
Kiwanis Club here. He also took
an interest in the Society for
Crippled Children and Adults
and aided in establishing a chap-
terial. Efforts to put it out were without
avail. Above firemen pour futile streams

‘Rabbits has little information
on the Friday night foe, but does
know that they fielded a young

ably have an edge on the 'Rab-

Close scrutiny of last year’s
Jackrabbit - Hornet game films
showed little of the Hornet prow-
ess.
The Hornets did not try a pass
in the contest, and were unable
to show much in the rushing de-
partment, either. It was the first
meeting of the tv/o teams, and
Bowie sloshed to a 22-8 win.

Berry said he felt privileged
to have been associated with the
beginning of the new bank here,
that he felt Bowie had a good
future before it but that the op-
portunity offered by the White

to pass up.
Griffin said no replacement
for Berry has been interviewed
but that a temporary execu-
tive officer will be hired short-

president can ba hired.

Jones couldn’t bear the idea of
the parting and broke into tears.
This was too much for the
Bishops: they picked her up and
carried her off on the vacation
with them. (Which netted Redon

a trip to Hawaii, since she lef

nothing but the clothes she war

This is our entry for the small

You may think that our pub-
lic school youngsters don’t wear
uniforms, you’re wrong. H you
want to argue with me, try get-
ting your boy in the 10 to 13
year old group to wear colored
socks, dress trousers, a shirt
with a tie, or high-top tennis
shoes.

tleroy outfit as deviate from the
spdrts shirt, jeans, white socks
and low-cut shoe costume they
insist on.
Not that I'm complaining, you
' understand. This manner of
dress is neat, practical and in-
expensive. That it is also insist-
ed upon fanatically is a fact I
find interesting and worth men-
f tioning — not criticizing.
Uniforms, official or otherwise,
have always made sense to me.
As a color-blind male, proper
attire has been of some concern
to me through my life. (More
so during my mating season
than in my present comfortable
middle age—but still a factor.)
This problem doesn’t occur in
Europe, you know. Businessmen
alt wear sloppy tweeds during
the day, dinner jackets at night.
The dinner jacket, or tuxedo, is
not an invention of the wealthy
but of the poor and unimagina-
tive: anybody looks proper in a
tux. Dinner jackets take all of
the work out of dressing up and
make it easy for the least to
look like the most. As I said, I
like the idea of uniforms: it
makes everything so simple.
