The minutes were read and approved and the treasurer’s report read and accepted. All bills presented were approved to be paid. The plans for a Halloween party for the children were discussed and Lion Gary Dorn reported that all preliminary preparations have been taken care of. Also, the Valentine dance plans have advanced to the point they want to get an early start. The fixtures for new bleachers to be used in the park by the Volleyball Court and Tractor Pull and any other place have been purchased and Lion Bill Peterson Jr. reports he hauled them to town and Lion Sam is going to paint them. It was decided to let the Boyd Businessmen have the proceeds from the sale of the old refrigerated truck. The Lions took the compressor and condensing coils off and used them in the new walk-in cooler at the par. Some discussion was made about the location and construction of the new B.E.D fire barn and how it may effect some of the plans the club has for Lotz Park. It was tabled until a later date. The jackpot was won by Diane Pilgrim. A sympathy card was sent as Dean was not at the meeting. The meeting was adjourned.

Having missed only one game because of company visiting us (the season opener) I have seen every game since and have seen an improvement each week. Defensively, especially against the run, the Orioles are tough and getting tougher. Against the pass, our lack of height definitely does cause us a problem. Offensively, we have our problems, but these youngsters are giving it their all and certainly do deserve a better following than they are receiving. It’s too bad that winning is everything. Our boys are playing good football even though they are not placing high in the winning column. Playing to the best of their ability is all we can expect, and we should support for that. That’s where sportsmanship is built. Orioles Harriers Take Fourth At Altoona The Oriole cross country team continued to improve their times, and placed fourth in a 10-team meet Thursday at Altoona….Coach Jerry Dirkes said he was pleased with the team’s results in the meet. He said if you simply took the times of the Cloverbelt conference runners and schools, the Orioles would have come out second in the meet, and that this is a good indication of how the conference meet should go. Joe Flaaten topped the Orioles runners and came in fourth place in the meet, with a time of 16:57. Teammate Jay Cornell came in ninth, with a time of 17:25. Of conference runners, Flaaten’s time was second, and Cor- nell’s time was fifth. “Joe and Jay ran very well,” said Coach Dirkes. He also had praise for Jeff Maqchler, who came in third for the Orioles, in 28th place. Chris Walker was 33rd, Tom Schmitt followed in 34th place, Nate Solie was 39th and Barry Valk placed 40th. All varsity runners had times under 19 minutes, which Coach Dirkes was pleased about. 50 years ago October 5, 1972 Orioles defeat Altoona 260; Fall Creek Friday; Cornell Wednesday The Stanley-Boyd Orioles put it all together Friday afternoon at Chapman Park and came up with a very satisfying 26-0 homecoming win over the Altoona Railroaders. Two excellent goal line stands by the defensive unit were of extreme importance in the win, with the Orioles stopping the Railroaders cold on a first and goal situation from the four yard line and a short time later held on a first and goal on the seven. Coach Gene Hatfield said the team played well defensively, with quite a few in defensive double figures, and pointed out that keeping the Altoona squad without scoring called for an all-out team effort.

Question: Why do we have staglines? Answer: Uncle Sam had first choice in some cases, but perhaps the reason lies with some of the following DO’s and DON”Ts: 1. Are you the clinging vine type or do you just drape? 2. Boys, don’t consider yourself the answer to a maiden’s prayer and expect her to be grateful every time you cut in on her. 3. Girls, do give him the impression that you are almost a second Hedy Lamarr. Perhaps he’ll ask you for another struggle. 4. Boys, don’t think that being a man entitles you to the privilege of being a bore. A lot of boys do. They think manners are excess baggage with which they do not need to burden themselves. But do show that you do know how to act, even if it is camou- flage. 5. Don’t try out the same line on every girl. Vary your technique. Don’t tell every girl that the instant you set eyes on her, you knew you had found the one for whom you have spent a long time searching. Use your brains and think up a new fish line. Notice: This could apply to girls as well as boys.
90 years ago October 14, 1932 Candidate may have a big majority and lose the election Seven of fourteen presidents were minority chosen. States settle the matter Since 1876 we have had fourteen presidential elections, but only seven of the presidents elected have had a majority of the popular vote. Mr. Wilson in 1912 had only 423 percent of the total vote cast, and in 1916 he was still a minority president. Hayes, Garfield, Cleveland (both times), and Harrison, were each elected by a minority of the voters of the nation. This is possible because the actual ballots cast are counted by states and not nationally. The state of New York, for exam – ple, has been four and five million voters. If they voted unanimously for Governor Roosevelt it would give him only 47 out of 266 electoral votes.
