FOOTBALL SEASON OPENS;
PALMER PLAYS ANCHORAGE FRIDAY
rainier s luoiuaii season gets
under way this Friday when
Norm Rousey’s squad take on
the Anchorage eleven in the first
:d four home-and-home games
planned between the two teams.
No games will be played against
Army teams this year because of
the difference in ages, William
Zahiadnicek, school superintend
ent said.
Although 33 high school boys
have turned out for football this
year, this includes but six letter
men. They are Ray Winegarner.
Carl Zaborac, Bill Harris and
Carl Hendrickson, seniors, and
Robert Barry and Norman Stad
am, juniors.
Friday’s game will begin at
2:15 p.m. at Mulcahy Park in An
hoiage. Two school buses will
go down from Palmer, carrying
the team, coach, and a limited
number of students in grades nine
through 12. Students will pay a
$1.50 fare.
Although the Palmer School
band will not appear at this
game, they will be ready and on
hand for the game to be played
October 1 in Palmer.
Thomas Yerbich is team man
ager again this year, with Mike
Gallagher as his assistant.
In addition to the named letter
men, other players are: Douglas
Bixby and Elden Sandvik, sen
iors; Ronald Aklested, Paul
Carnpbell, Dale Clark, Dick Hen
drickson, Fred Loyer, John Reed,
David Rogers, Dean Thompson,
Jack Worledge, Jay Hume, and

Heeds Instruments
Instruments are needed by the 1
. Palmer High School to build in
terest in the music department.
While it is possible that the
school board may be able to help
in acquiring some of the instru
ments, the thought has occurred
that there are probably a good
many band instruments that are
still usable—tucked away, un
. used, in the community.
.if there are any instrument
owners in the community who
would like to donate their unused
instruments to the school it could
be a big boost in building a music
department of which the com- I
munity will be proud. Lee Plumb
ley, band master, is eager to be
gin building new band material,
and the instruments will be put
to good use. Let’s look around in
the closets and attic and see
what’s in that box or case. All
.type horr.s and drums are needed
All parents and interested ad- ;
ults are reminded of the Band
Booster Club meeting to be held
Monday night in the school cafe
teria at 7:30 p.m. Support of the
. youngsters participating in the
band program is needed.
