Thursday, May 1, 1958 With The Wranglers By JOHN NEWMAN Sunday was our first playday at the new grounds. How did you like it? It was the Beamer playday and I think he and his committee put on a good live show well planned and well executed in spite of a bucking loud speaker system that re fused to carry Bruce's introduct ions. They cleared that hurdle with another machine before one's lunch had time to settle. In spite of the troubles the show was a mighty good one almost as good as the potluck. There was a good turnout and some good times made for this early in the season, but I don't know if they were good enough to bring home the cup and next Sunday is our first try at it. Then it is only two short weeks till the Sage Riders try to give it to us on our own grounds. We have a good start on the grounds but much yet to do before we can create in them an inferiority complex when they ride in. What I am getting at is anoth er work day Saturday. Bring ington and Heppner took part in the many different kinds of dan ces. The recital was sponsored by the Topic club and the Amer ican Legion auxiliary served pie and coffee afterwards.
