Osgood Elected to Guide L.A. l{ss-}loo Club 2; Honors to Veterons

Many members were unfortunately absent from what again proved to be one of the club's best meetings. There were only 45 for the golf and about 50 for the dirurer who "dug deep" into their jeans to generously make up an additional assessment to meet the guarantee to the meeting place.

The new officers, previously announced in nomination, were duly eleeted and take office now with the sincere good wishes of the membership of this world's largest HooHoo club. They will be:

President, John Osgood of the Robert S. Osgood Co.; 1st Vice-President, Chuck Lember, D. C. Essley & Sbn; 2nd Vice-

Joe Petrash, Independent Building Materials Co.

The outgoing president, Harold Cole, climaxed his very successful administration at the Appreciation event, when he presented Don Braley, a recent past-president of Club 2, with a beautiful rod-and-reel.

Also honored for their many years of inspiring leadership in the club's activity were J. W. Fitzpatrick, Don Bufkin and George Clough. Each was fiven a handsome, embossed hardwood plaque attesting his hard work for the good of the industry.

Supreme 9 Custocatian Harvey Koll extended an invitation to all Southland HooHoo to attend the Valley Frolics of San Joaquin Hoo-Hoo Club 31 in Fresno, Sept. 16-17. A whopping big time is promised all lucky enough to tafe in this annual F all event (CLIf't, 7 /15/60).

During the Community Sing that folIowed, with everyone joining in the fun, Piano-player Buster Shaver of South Pasadena kept everything: in harmony.

The Golf department found the boys performing in their usual good order. The lowgross trophy went to George F redricksen for his 76. Jerry Hyink was low net with 65 in the 1st F light, and Brownie Markstrom second with his 67. Don Gow won first low-net in the 2nd Flight with a 66, and Dick Lucas was runner-up with 69.

In the 3rd Flight, Don Mateer received the trophy for a 64 score, and the Retailer prize was awarded Willard Alliton for his net 62.

Chairman Koll reports the hole-inone "kitty" now contains $110. (Better spend the summer hiatus practising, men!)
