'*.
i 7A&
"Wasn't THAT a surprise!" chortled the Rev. H.
L. Engel. "We are very happy, and not quite over the
shock yet!"
The Engels were (understandably) delighted when'
their'*daughter was- declared
"Miss .Saline of 1967" at tjhe
ceremony Thursday evening.
KaroV had entered the .event
thinking, "Oh, heavens, this
is just for the fun-of. it."
She-was placid, unsuspecting,
and .privately predicting
three other winners . . . when
her'name was called.
She was crowned by her
predecessor, Susan Guenther,"
before she was sure what it
was all about.
For a change, the queen
and her court were on the
receiving end. instead of the
directing end, .of the huz-
zahs. All four are High
School cheerleaders. First
runner-up was; Anita Larson,
daughter of Mr. and -Mrs.
Walfred Larsofi. Sr.; second
runner-up was'Linda Struble,
daughter of th» W. R. Stru-
bles. And Sue Drake, daughter of Mrs. Ruth Drake, was
dec1?red ""Mi^s Congeniality".
All four girls are seniors,
all17 years old. and all members of the Future Home-
makers' Association.
Karol is also a membsr of
the Future Teachers' group
and Spanish" Club, and she
maintains a better-than-"B"
average scholastically. She
hopes to enter Eastern Michigan University next year to
major  in  home  economics.
An accomplished pianist
("after 11 years of lessons)
Karol also is sometimes organist at Trinity Lutheran
Church, of which her father
is senior pastor. She's interested in most athletics', plays
softball, and swims.   :
She also likes to sew . . .
and, of her cooking, her father remarks: "Well, she's
gaining!" About boys, she is
"very sensible . . . nothing
serious," he opines. .;'
TWO QUEENS shared the glory during the Fair
Parade last Saturday. Karol Engel, the new "Miss Saline", and Sue Guenther, who reigned during the past
year, demonstrate the hallmark of all local queens: A
beautiful, friendly smile.
Two nights before, the situation at the Fairgrounds
was tense and suspenseful as the queen candidates a-
waited Sue's announcement of her successor. First. Sue
Drake, at far left in second photo, was named "Miss
Congeniality". She's shown accepting her trophy and
congratulations from emcee Dave Cobb and Sue Guenther, in the third picture.
Linda Struble was named second runner-up, and
Anita Larson wTas named first runner-up, to compose the
queen's court. . . and finally came the announcement of
Karol as Miss SaUne. The array of beauties in the lower
photo: Sue Drake, Anita, Karol, Linda, and Sue Guenther. Jaycees in the second row: Dave Cobb (now known
as Saline's Bert Parks, after years of service as emcee
at the local pageant); Robert Beauchamp, queen committee chairman; and C. Kenneth Schooler.

ton Rd., suffered a fractured
knee cap and multiple bruises
Sunday evening when he fell

TEAM LOOKS
'PRETTY GOOD,
BIG and FAST'
Coming uo to the season
opener Friday, Saline's varsity "looks j pretty p-nod. hig
and fast" Coach Mike Rotunno observed todav. The
Hornets will meet Milan, at
7:30 p.m., here.
In a pre-season scrimmage
last Fridav night with Monroe, the Salinians "did real
well", piling up nine touchdowns t o their opponents'
two. Scrimmages are not officially scored.
But the Hornets are "a little inexperienced: a lot of
them have limited game experience", Rotunno remarked. And three potentials have
already been wiped out by
practice injuries: Bob Kirkpatrick suffered a bruised
bone; a dislocated kneecap
benched Tom Mann; and
Bruce Rosander acquired a
head injury.
Returning lettermen are
Jim Chatterton, Bill Hunt,
Dave Feldkamp, Marvin Tin-
sley, Dave Blinn. Dave Reese,
Ron Williams, Dave Strait,
Ron Feeman, Ed Gall. Steve
Russell, Bill Welch, Dave
Farrell.' Bob Squires, and
Garry Ferguson.

Feldkamp. Tinslev. Blinn,

man, Gall, Farrell, and Ferguson.

AN EXTRA BIT OF EXCITEMENT, at the Saline
Fair Steer Show, came when Barbara Finkbeiner's Hereford ste^r decided to protest after being named champion of its class. It took the combined efforts of Barb's
father Lloyd, and Mannie Hill, plus other volunteer
wranglers, to bring the big animal under control. Moments later, the subdued steer calmly joined the lineup
of club champs shown in the second photo (left to
right): Robert Girbach and Ms grand champ; Gary Girbach, reserve champ; Barb and her champ in the Hereford class; and Richard Schneider, reserve champ Hereford.
In the bottom photo, Gene Carpentier, of Universal
Die Casting, is shown with one of the purchases he made
for U.D.C. at the auction the following night. Bob Gir-
bach's grand champ sold to U.D.C. for 75c per pound
. . . and Gary's reserve champ went to Leutheuser's
Restaurant for 56c.

Dr. Bernreuter
Dr. Bernreuter and his
wife, now staying at a hotel, expect, to move to a tIo-
; e&^^^n^ntj\TO^^^2pgSt,
'Dr; -Varider 'YacnV will
move here with his family
from Dearborn as soon as a
house is available. He has visited in Saline several times
in the past two weeks and
will begin to move into the

from Saginaw, graduated
from the University of Michigan school of medicine in
1963, interned for a year at
Hurley Hospital in Flint, and
then spent two years in the
U.S. Army, stationed at
Stuttgart, Germany. He had
been in correspondence with
Dr. Gerigk "for about six
months" before he received
his discharge from the Army in August.
He decided to locate here,
he said, because of "the opportunity and the nice com-
munitv and proximity to Ann
Arbor" and the opening for
"a complete range of general
practice including OB's and
emergencies". An article in
The Reporter two weeks ago,
on Saline's .doctor shortage,
was "appropriate to our discussions, ahd very timely,"
he said. He made his • final
decision the following week.
His wife, Janet, is a graduate of the University of Michigan school of music.
After graduating from
high school in Holland, Mich.,
Wilbur C. Vander Yacht en
tered  Hope  College in Holland as a music major.
His schooling was interrupted by service during the
-Korean War. When he returned from Korea, he reentered Hope, this time as a
student in pre-med. While at
Hope he was a member of
the Emersonian Fraternity
and the Blue Key Honorary
Society.
As a medical student at
the "University of Michigan,
he was a member of the Ga-
lens Honorary Medical Society and president of the Honor Council. H e graduated
from the University of Michigan in 1961.
He took his internship, obstetric and gynecologic residency, and an extra year of
general surgery at Oakwood
Hospital, Dearborn. He was
chief resident for two years.
Dr. Vander Yacht is Board
Eligible to become a Fellow
in the American College of
Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
Dr. Vander Yacht's wife,
Audrey, i s originally from
New Jersey and has attended Purdue University. They
have a son, Jeffrey, 7, and
a daughter, Jody, 5.
After he read of the area's
need for an obstetrician. Dr.
Vander Yacht visited Saline
and conferred with local physicians, before he made his
decision to come here.
.'. ..-Jfeligg^ t flowing need if or
'..more medical service "exploded into a full-fledged crisis
when Dr. Gordon Prout retired and Dr. Eugene Garrison was drafted, almost simultaneously. General practitioners here were swamped
with more patients than they
could handle; all but Dr. Gerigk found themselves unable
to accept OB's (one has not
done so for about 10 years)
or take new patients except
in urgent cases. Meanwhile,
Saline Hospital's fully-equipped 10-bed maternity wing
was virtually empty, as OB
cases . were referred out of
town.
This week, Saline's established GP's were delighted
with the double addition to
the local medical roster.
Said Dr. Rudenz Douthat:
"Now we're in good shape.
This will alleviate the problems."
Said Dr. Dennis Burke:
"I'm quite happy about it."
Said Dr. Don Leidheiser:
"I think it's wonderful."
Dr. Gerigk was cautious:
"Yes, we now have enough
doctors . . . for the time being," he said.

Church of the Nazarene, to
