VOL. 84, NUMBER 49 Like we said, they can laugh now, the worst is all behind. Last Wednesday night the final four debenture holders were paid off and the ice plant is completely paid for. The men who piloted the association through thick and thin never lost sight of their goal. Operate as efficiently as poss- ible and pay off the debentures. They can only plead guilty on both counts - they’ve done a whale of a job! Tenders are now in for what promises "to be a very extensive face lifting job on the arena. Once again they’re tackling a big project but with con- OVERCOME ADVERSITY Ingenuity triumphed over adversity. One heck of a lot of plywood was bought, cut to size where needed and nailed down over the entire arena floor. The dance was held and everyone was very happy. But $1,000 worth of plywood had to be sold for one- third_ of its value of a few days before. At the end of the entertainment, some of which was provided by skaters form the Toronto Skating Club, now the Toronto Cricket, Skating and Curling Club, there was to be a period of public skating. Only now there wasn’t enough ice, they were nearly down to the pipes! Next item was on asphalt covering which was laid over the pipes. It just refused to set. In des- peration, salamanders, (sort of a king-sized blow torch) were brought in but all to no avail. Fair day was fast approaching and a big dance was plan- ned - what to do now? When opening night came around there was no asphalt covering over the nine miles of freezing pipe. Just lots of bare dirt with the plumbing nightmare sitting on top. With barely half an hour until the crowds were due to pour into the arena they dis- covered a strip approximately 180 feet long and one foot wide - which happened to be right in the centre - which just wouldn’t freeze. Much hasty thought and plenty of hasty muscle solved what seemed to be an insoluble problem. They laid down the biggest strip of dry ice that anyone ever skated on! And it worked! ! When they talk about it today they laugh - laugh until the tears run down their cheeks. On the nineteenth of March in the year of Our Lord 1955 they were so involved and mixed up that it seemed as if nothing could possibly go right. “They” are the original members of the arena association - the group who took on the task of getting an artificial ice plant put into Richmond Hill Arena. The 19th of March 1955 was the inaugural day. It almost turned into a nightmare for a devoted group of workers. As Bill Ellis, first president of the arena assoc- iation says, “It was a real challenge and a task to raise the money initially.” As arduous as the money raising end of the project was, the worst was yet to come.

Essentials Unity; in Non-Essentials Liberty; in all things Charity" A large crowd of Aurora fans turned out to see the opening game of the Metro Major Fast- ball League on Tuesday of last week. Despite a heavy rain in the morning and into the early afternoon the field was in reasonable shape for the game. With the opening cere- monies concluded and the Jewellers Take Two From Aurora Three Richmond Hill High School students honoured for outstanding athletic accomplish- ments during the past year are pictured above. Left, Carol Hayes a grade 12 student in the special commercial course who won the Girls’ Athletic Association Trophy. This trophy is emblematic of outstanding athletic and scholastic standing. Centre; John Perkins, a grade 13 arts and science student was awarded the Babcock Snider Trophy for outstanding athletic ability and high academic achievement. Right; Diane Hayes, a grade 13 arts and science student who gained membership in the ‘500 club’ for having gained over 500 points in athletic activity during her high school course. Diane is the first girl of the school to have achieved this distinction. Students Win Achievement Awards As the second inning opened Gary Nolan took the mound for Aurora and proceeded to set the Jewellers down with three hits until relieved by Moe Zu- batiuk in the seventh inning. Zabatiuk was tagged for a In order to avoid disappoint- ing the large crowd, Bob Att- well was prevailed upon to pitch for the Aurora team in a game that was merely exhi- bition fastball. Attwell got his lumps early as Dynes’ lead off man Skip De Geer singled and $11 Steffen drew a walk. A miscue on a sharply hit ball off the bat of Neb Gayman scored De Geer and Steffan. There are still openings for members and the Richmond Hill Lawn Tennis Association would seem to have plenty of attraction. President of the club this year is Mr. George Major and he can be contact- ed at TU. 4-1996. He will be only too happy to answer any questions about the tennis sit- uation in Richmond Hill. Sun Shines For Tennis Club Start The Richmond Hill Lawn Tennis Association officially opened the 1963 tennis season on June lst. Courts and weather were both in tip-top condition for the opening and president George Major reports one of the largest opening day atten- dances in the history of the club. Some 20 senior members turned out along with upwards of 60 junior members. game about to begin Au- rora did not have a pitcher available at game time. As a result the game was awarded to Dynes Jewel- lers by default and will go into the record books as a 9-0 win for the Richmond Hill team. Free instruction is being provided on Saturday morn- ings for fledgling tennis players by more exper- ienced. members of. the club. Lessons consist of a series of four periods of instruction designed to give a beginning tennis player an insight into the basics of good tennis.

One of the big highlights of the game was the fine play Al's Cycle & Sports HEY!

BICYCLES and TRIKES We Have the Bait to Make Fish Hungry and the Tackle to Make Anglers Happy of Bren Selvage at second base for the Jewellers. For some time past Dynes teams have suffered from a lack of defens- ive strength at the keystone sack. The play of Selvage, a converted pitcher, seems to be a full and complete answer to any coaches prayers. TU. 4-1213 (STAFE EHOTO) Judd Strikes Out Eighteen As Jewellers Team Win 6-] Ray Judd made his first ap- pearance before local softball fans last Thursday and proved to be every bit as good as his advance notices. As his share of the proceedings he struck out 18 Aurora batters, pitched only eleven ball calls in the entire game, hit a triple and a home run to aid his own cause while performing in a most‘ relaxed and almost casual man- ner. If a pitcher can do more we'd like to know what it is! Aurora ace Moe Zubatluk found the going extremely rough. Skip DeGeer led off for the Dynesmen in the bottom half of the first inning with a single and scored easily on a three base blow by second base- man Bren Selvage. Judd got his first crack at the bat and proceeded to blast out a boom- ing triple scoring Selvage. Short stop Neb Gaymon rapped out a double and that was the end of the trail for Zubatiuk. He was relieved by Gary Nolan who also got into quick trouble by walking first baseman Sil Steffan. A single by outfielder Chico Fernandez scored Steffan but Gayman was tagged out on a close play at third base. At the end of the first inning the Jewellers led 4-0 and that was just about the story of the ball game. Catcher Ken Coults drew a walk in the third inning and was scored on an error on a ball hit by outfielder Tony Centa. Judd smashed a home 2 door Hardtop.

One of the most exciting moments came before the game actually got under way. With Councillor Al “Fingers” White on the mound and Art Ashly. president of the Metro Major Fastball League behind the plate, Mayor William “Mickey” Neal belted out a hit to offic- ially open the local season. It was exciting because for a lit- tle while it seemed as though run in the fourth inning to engi the V Jefweller scoring. Aurora’s lone run came in the seventh inning as Jim Pat- ton was safe on a fielders choice and came around to score on a triple by Aurora's veteran third sacker Earl MacDonald. $1095.00 The game was a delight and revelation for local fans. This is possibly the best all ’round team ever to wear the green and white livery of a Dynes club. Play of Gayman at short and Selvage at second has add- ed tremendous defensive strength through the mid- dle and both men are fair hands with the bat.
