certainly give bnls MeoIord Wo-
man one of the leading eSta-
blishments of its kind. 1t does
pay to advertise. And we hope
more Medford people will do so.
Schools Open
Vacations are just. about over.
Community Center director Kieth
Rawlins has brought his large
group of boys home from Camp
FellSland in AmSbury after a
| pleasant two weeks. Several
adults aided in the project for
the boys and during the final
week the group was visited by
Pastor Phillips. And now with
the debut of September, the
Shiloh Sunday School reopens
Sept. 6, tomorrow morning. On
Sept. IA, week from Monday,
the Medford public schools will
reopen. Also reSuming this
month will be the popular Com
munity Center Adult Nights. The
Medford City Primary vote will
be held Sept. IS, next week. And
the 1853 Yard Beautiful Contest
Prizes for some lucky Medford
; people will be chosen and
awarded this month by the
Garden Club which held its re-
cent and annual outing at the
Billington-Sea residence of Mr..
and Mrs. Seth Singleton in Ply
mouth with guests present from
N, Y. and Indiana.
Tennis Queen
The first Medford City Tennis
Queen from this district is
Miss Sylvia CroWelli of 1875
Jerome street who won the
beautiful 1858 Women's City
Championship Trophy at Play
stead Park during the close of
city park activity last month.
Representing Dugger Park, MISS
Crowelli easily captured the
Girls Singles title, with her
niece, Miss Mertie West, winning
second place. This gives the
local park quite a record under
Jim Sherwood and the park
tennis director Cleedie Rhone.
AS everyone knows, Al Hend-
erson Jr won the 1852 and 1852
Boys Singles championship with
team-mate AL Kountze Jr, run
ming up both years. They also
won the D ou b e Crown
last year, b a n &
aside all opposition. T h i S
year Henderson did not compete
and Kountze who is concentrat-
ing on MHS basketball and
track, only played token tennis
and did not make the city titles
this year. SO the girls took over
to keep the local park in the
championship class for the
third straight year, very brill
liant record for a park which
did not compete in city tennis
until around 194S. Miss Crowelli,
pretty and modest, has won
other titles before. She won the
novice under IS yrs girl Singles
grass court title in Rhode Is
land in 1850. For three years
she was runner-up to the
Singles title in the MiddleSex
tournament sponsored by the
Newton Squash club. In 1852
last spring, she was a runner
up to the champion in the Jr
Girls Longwood Doubles. To-
day she is Medford Girl Cham
pion Tennis Queen with even a
brighter future ahead. CongratS.
Here's hoping more of our local
girls take to this game. They
can win, too.
