Big Joint Peninsula Concat Draws Nearly 100 Cats

The Chez Yvonne Restaurant in Mountain View was nearly filled to capacity by members of San Francisco Hoo-Hoo Club 9. Santa Clara Vallev Hoo-Hoo Club 170 and Oakland HooHoo Club 39, who participated in a Joint Concat, Thursday evening, May 24. Nearlv 100 Bav Area Cats were on hand for lhe meeting, including numerous past presidents from the three participating clubs. In addition, other Hoo-Hoo notables included State Deputy Snark for Northern California, Al Kerper, Paul Bunyan Lumber Co. and Seer of the llouse of Ancients, C. D. LeMaster, of Sacramento. Special guest attraction (and we do mean "attraction") was in the pretty form of Carol Bloom of McDonald Lbr. Sales. Carol was crowned Queen of the Forest at the Forest Products Day pageant in Sacramento last September. Sponsored by Sacramento Hoo-Hoo Club 109, the Queen Contest will soon be underway for the selection of Queen of the Forest III, so check with Queen Carol, or any of the offrcers and directors of Club 109, and get your favorite entry ln Dronto.

Preceded by libations and dinner, the Joint Concat Degree Team consisted of past and current presidents of just about every northern California Hoo-Hoo Club, honed to a fine edge by Deputy Snark Al Kerper who sat in as Visiting Officer. "The Tests" (and there were some real new dillies, believe us) were administered by Nik- kel Lumber's Bob Bonner and his team.

An outstanding and smooth running Concat in every respect, the three clubs (and the International Order of Hoo-Hoo) gained 18 fine new members who displayed courage, wisdom and strong stomach and passed the tests with flying colors. The list of Kittens as follows :
