FOOD FOR THOUGHT If you think you are beaten, you are If you think you dare not, you don’t If you’d like like to win, but think you can’t It’s almost a cinch you won’t. Life’s battles don’t always go To the stronger or faster man; But soon or late the man who wins Is the one who thinks he can. *Anon. — BERNADETTE G. BALLA Reporter SPORTS CLUB NEWS BRANCH 500 — DETROIT, MICHIGAN It has been a long time since this reporter has had an article in the WILLIAM PENN. However, such facts as our fourth successful year of social activities, tournament bowling and elections make this short report advisable. All the officers of last year, with the exception of Mrs. Pat Bardocz who declined, were reelected for 1965. They are John Seedott, presi­dent; Frank Boldiszar, vice president; Rose Ann Boldiszar, treasurer; Ma­vis Naster, secretary and reporter; Theresa Meray and Olga Boldiszar, auditors. Since the main event of the year will be the William Penn bowling tournament in Detroit, we are all preparing for it. This year our club has three teams entered. In the spirit of William Penn Fra­ternalism, Branch 500 Sports Club extends best wishes and much luck to all the participants at the coming tournament.
