The Shiloh Mems Bowling
Team, led by Sunday School
Supt. Walt Tucker, captured the
1854 second place team trophy
for the first half season play
of the strong and long esta-
bliShed Medford Protestant
Church Bowling League. Giving
Shiloh its first team trophy
against city-wide competition
was the current squad compris-
ing Captain Walt Tucker, Al
Hayes Sr, Roger Lightfoot, Ben
Coleman, Charlie Smith and
Bob Furey, whose names are
inscribed on the cup. A League
member for four years, the
Shiloh Team has also been
aided along the way by other
players, including such beloved
veterans as Perle Smith, Frank
Booker, Walt Isaacs, and the
late Chester Lanier Sr. Every
one is pleased to see Shiloh
climbing near the top in one
of the most powerful leagues in
Greater Boston. The team tro-
ply was presented to Shiloh
last Sunday by Capt. Tucker.
And speaking of bowling, the
women are doing all right, too.
Mrs. Vivien Parham recently
won a flock of prizes in the
Raytheor women's league. The
