STARS FALL UNDER BLOOMERS
* Saturday night, Febr. 23 at 7s30 PM
things started happening at Glennallen
High School Gym. It all began with "The
Late Bloomers” of Gakona coming onto the
court in the form of a dogsled team, A
blanket became the sled and the picture
was complete with passenger and musher.
The musher wore a parka and carried a bull
whip# A sign on her hat read "Coach" •
The cheer leaders for the Bloomers were
already in action. They were dressed in
their blue long handles and wore wigs and
short dresses# They were a riot l We were
later informed they were Ken Hughes, Fred
Lappi and Fred Wells, Jr# Ken was some
thing else with his megaphoned
”The Falling Stars” of Copper Center
also made a dramatic entrance with their
cheer leaders doing a kind of war dance
and attired in chieftan robes# The "Chiefs'
were Oscar Craig, Pete Ewan and Buck
Roach# "The Falling Stars" attire was
predominantly black with white stars on
their backs - and one displayed a yellow
star with the words "With Vigah Yet” writ
ten across her back. The 'chiefs' did a
little dance and a cheer - the "Bloomers"
reciprocated ... and things really got
under way.
The game was slightly one sided dur
ing the first quarter and at the sound of
the l^uzzer the score was 10 to 0 in favor
of the Bloomers. The 2nd quarter -3
I
started with the Bloomers still in posses
sion of the game when referees Peg Virgin
and Dale Kiser did some fancy passing and
scored two points for "The Falling Stars"i
Thio must have been what the' Stars were
waiting for because at the end of the 2nd
quarter the score had evened up a little - i
14 to 10 in favor of the Bloomers.
At half time, the "Chiefs" of the
Falling Stars palyed a musical interlude
on the war drums while the Bloomers cheer
leaders did the twist much to the delight
of the crowd.
The second half got off to a fine start
with "Tiny" Donnelly standing on the foot J
of Betty Lappi. This made Betty inopera- j
tive for a short while and she was later
observed favoring her right foot. A foul
was called on Joannie Wells ... followed
by a nervous breakdown on her part. She
was able to play again only after all her
team gathered around and gave her their
condolances and reassurances that the
i world had not come to a violent end be
[ cause of the incident. Shortly - another j
foul was called on Lenore Conkle - whose j
tears were so profuse they had to be mop- j
ped up by a "crying towel" conveniently y
produced by her team mates.
Score at the end of the 3rd quarters
22 to 14 - favor of the Bloomers. We won- 1
if - by chance - the presence of TWO balls i
on the court with a game going on at both J
ends of the court had any bearing on the ,
score;
The last quarter was just as hilarious.;
During the last two minutes both teams in- j
dulged in dancing - joined by the cheer
leaders. The final score was to 20 in j
favor of the Bloomers. They were so hap- j
py about winning they formed a line and
bunny hopped off the floor - WHAT A GAME I
