Here's real good news for you
VIPs - the young men of our
community. To all you Bird, 4th,
5th and 9th graders, have you
heard about the YMCA basket
ball instruction classes at
Rims? They will be held each
Saturday morning for u weeks
and Joseph Wilson is director.
The first class began Jan. 8.
Do you want to learn how to
dribble, pass, shoot real
swish shot, pivot and maybe
make one of those spectacular
clay up" shots? Well, here's
your chance.
For Bird graders the time is
9 to 10; for 4th graders, 10 to IL;
and for 5th and 9th graders, II
to IL. From II to l there is a
cmopetition class (not instruc-
tom for 7th and 9Th graders.
The fee for the course is $2.4O
plus 81 annual membership fee
in the YMCA, if that is due. Boys
who are interested, must have
an application form filed out,
giving their parents consent.
This course has been offered by
the YMCA now for several years
and it is extremely popular.
Later in the season, a course in
baseball will probably be offer
ed. If you are interested, boys,
you better get busy and enroll
but soon.
That popular old bird "Sir
Stork" ran a popular old gentle
man, Santa Claus, close race
this year. In fact he beat the
Jolly old boy to the punch and
filled some stocking a bit before
the holidays began. If you have
been wondering why Councilman
Alex Greene has been beaming
so broadly these past few weeks,
it's because of the arrival of a
young daughter, Elizabeth, to
him and his wife, Jane, at Doc
tors Hospital. The youngest
member of the Greene family has
a brother, Jamie, 7, and a sister,
Amy, who is all of 5. Congratu-
lations to the Greenes, we know
their Christmas was especially
happy!
A few weeks following,
another family in RoXboro re-
ceived a bundle, too = Mr.. and
Mrs. Michael Davis. Their
daughter, Gwendolyn Evan S
Davis, was born on Nov. 10 at
Doctors Hospital and weighed Z
pounds. She has a brother Pete,
z. and a sister, Becky, 5. Jean
and Michael has truly wonder
full Christmas, too, and Pete and
Becky are delighted with their
baby sister.
Out on Glen Road, the old BIRD
stopped by and paid a visit to
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Walker on
Dec. II. Their new son, Albert
Jarvis Walker, arrived at Mont
gomery County Hospital, just In
time for Christmas and weighed
bouncing 6 pounds and y
ounces. Needless to say, Sam
and Betty Walker are especially
proud and happy these days.
There's good news this week
from Eleanor Kay. We under
stand she is home from the hos
pital and while still confined to
her home, she is much improved
and will soon be out and about
again.
That genial member OF our
County Council - Charlie JAM
son - is confined this week, we
understand, with a touch OF
pneumonia. Here's hoping ne
will soon be better and lin the
pink" again. :,
If the Sentinel Office hasn't
seemed just quite the same late
ly = you missed that CHEEKY
'hello" and that warm smile
when you came in = it's be
cause Mary Lou Hegeman has
been ill. She is back on the Jot
now, though, and feeling mucf
improved. She had a bout witt
bronchitis and was in the hos
pital for awhile. A veteran mem
Der of the Sentinel staff, she
