Manchester with 13 and 11

The Little Hornets had a
tough second quarter against
Manchester's junior varsity after they had taken a 15-14 first
period lead. The Little Dutchmen finally won out, 53 to 46.
Lawrnie Steiner topped all scor-

The Air Force (local branch) got a big boost with the
anonymous donation of a Link trainer to the schools. So far,
the training program is only barely under way, but Cadet
Roger Wiedmayer won his wings, above.
1963 Prospects
Bright for Saline
Transportation made giant strides forward in Saline, in
1962. For instance, rumor has it that the Army is bidding on
the maneuverable device above, developed (and demonstrated) by Mr. and Mrs. Doug Schuur . . . who found it easier
than walking and less trouble than a tank.
1962 International Romance
Mr. and Mrs. Donald Arthur Maxwell, Jr., above, joined
the International Set when they took off shortly after their
wedding to live and teach in Nigeria for two years. Mrs.
Maxwell is the former Carol Brown.
Saline's Navy was richer by one capital ship after Ray
Rosander built a submarine and tested it in the lake at Saline Valley Farms. It refused to sink, but this is not regarded
as a serious'handicap, since there was nothing at the bottom
of the SVF lake that anyone wanted to go down for.

All the signs point to a
bright, calm New Year for Saline area. Business will Be fine,
nearly everyone will prosper,
and additional services will be
installed to meet the needs of
the mushrooming population.
And one thing you can be
sure of . . . the "character" of
the area won't change much, no
matter how many new houses
spring up. Somehow every new
neighbor, whether he stems
from New York City, Moose
Jaw, Canada, or points between,
"becomes - on the instant of his
arrival — a dedicated Salinian.
He approves of progess, but he
will fight bitterly against making any radical changes in his
chosen home.
As a result, there won't be
any radical changes. A slight
alteration in the skyline, perhaps, created by a new water
tower. The annexation of a few
more acres. The installation of
a few more sidewalks, including
(we betcha) on Russell street.
One or two small businesses
will quietly fold their tents, and
one or two new businesses (probably services) wttl open. One
new industry will move in, to
manufacture something unusual
— orange squeezers or kettledrums or some such thing.
The Elementary School will
be more crowded than ever. At
,the High School, they'll keep
getting letters about SHS graduates who are on the dean's
list at their chosen colleges.
Watch out for the 1963 Hornet
football team - it'll be humdinger!
Judging from previous statistics, there will be at least three
fatal auto accidents involving
Salinians (two of them fathers
of young children), and 14 tractor accidents of varying severity. Somebody will sight a tornado, but it won't touch down.
There will be dozens of weddings, and — at the hospital —
it's about time for someone to
have twins.
There'll be a long, icy winter
and a late but sudden spring
(that's one thing that brings on
the tractor accidents, by the
way).
Residents will become violently entangled in at least two
civic arguments — this 'year it
was millage and sidewalks, and
last year it was filling stations.
Next year it'll be something
else, though parking meters can
be counted on to rear their
heads EVERY year.
Salinians will continue to be
more interested in Cub Scouts
than in Castro, and more concerned about subdivisions than
satellites. It isn't that they're
provincial — they just believe in
the old saying: "Brighten the
corner where*you' are;" +■ - ~
That's what makes it one of
the brightest corners of the
earth.

In a game which started with

the great teams of other years.
