AS for the bowling, when final results are printed we will be able to comment; altho the Laura Lanes were so much like home, except for the over-oiled lanes, that most bowlers were relaxed. CanT compete against those high handicaps, however! Sorry, more next month! Jolán Lucas, Branch reporter. Ol YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio Our WILLIAM PENN bowling league ended and the banquet prepared by Ang-Els was superb. The only business left w'as the presentation of prize money. As the season was divided in halves, we had Peg and Steve Sándor 1st half, — Marge Bunchy and Tom Graham, 2nd half winners. First half showed Mike Tomcsak, Steve Sándor, Steve Novak all making high Average, high Set and high Game. As for the women, Valerie Lenton, Mary Tomcsak and Mary Hubert walked off with the honors. The second half showed some new winners with honors going to Margaret Bunchy along with Steve Cherey and Tom Graham. Most improved bowler awards to Imre Magyar and Irene Nemeth. Our thanks to McGuffey Lanes for their donation. The league voted to return next season to their Lanes. If anyone would like to bowl with us— please contact Mike Tomcsak at SW 9-2764. The same bowlers were well represented at the National Bowling Tournament in Pittsburgh and they looked very nice in their Red & White shirts. How nice to see the Johnstown gang — Mike Duray, Julius and Barb, Frank Krall and all the rest too numerous to mention. As an ending, hope you all won — if not prize money — I know you all had a good time. I know, we from Youngstown did! Mary Tomcsak, Reporter BRANCH 21, Y’oungstow ii, Ohio.
