Miss Overlook has three br0thehrs
who were all in the bowling league
this year. this perhaps explaining her
proficiency in this game. Her average
of s. IS for IS strings will show that
she can give these brothers a run for
their money when it comes to knocking
the candlcpins down. That she bowls
consistently is shown by the fact that
her high string for the season was 103
while her low one was 10.
The honor of being the high man for
the season is all the greater when it
is taken into consideration that there
were teams representing the Augusta
Girls Community Club. Gannett Pub

trail Maine Power Co. and the Edwards

seems that She may lay claim to being
