Knollwood Hoo-Hoo No. 2 Meeting Features Oufstanding Enterfainment

It has been said that a picture is ' worth a thousand words. In this case, however, we hope that a few words are worth a thousand pictures as we en- 'deavor 'to report this story without pictures.

The wind blew and blerv again, but it did not succeed in uprooting the.' substantial Hoo-Hoo Golf Tourney players at Knollwood Country Club on November l7 as they competed in the , second round of the 54-hole contest. In spite of the forces of nature, the weary golfers maintained their relentless pace and eventually concluded their game in the Nineteenth Hole.

Several anxious hours later, the longawaited news came from Don Gow, golf chairman. Don stated that, the winners were as follows: Low Gross, Gene Burnett with an 80, Low Net, ' Don Swartzendruber with a 64. First 'Flight, first low net, Harold Cole, First Flight, 2nd low net, Bill llanen, Second Flight, 1st low net, Jin McFadden, Second Flight, second low net, John Hansen, Third Flight, Don Swartzendruber, Low Retailer, Bob Merritt, and Lor.v Guest, Bill Rau.

Following the golf phase of the evening, the members and guests gathered in the Knollwood Cocktail Lounge, where they were expertly entertained by "Francine," the popular accordionist. Ken Kenofel, the of6cial greeter for the big night, mingled among'the crowd and welcomed those attending. It seems that Kenny was even trying to talk "Francine" into being a Hoo-Hoo E,tte. Or, maybe he and Harold Cole u'ere just helping "Francine" in her beautiful version of "Srveet Adeline."

About this time, the big bad prexy, Joe Petrash, arrived on the scene and told the group to "knock it off" and "get into the dining room." The black cats quickly obeyed Joe's order and scurried into to devour their delicious steaks. One oerson said he counted 61 dinner-eaters, but he was so intoxicated by all the excitement that he couldn't even count the fingers on his right hand.

Just before dessert, president Joe introduced Mr. Orville Porter, as the evening's featured entertainment. I\4r.

In Memoriam

Let us bow our heads in momentary tribute to two dear departed members of the staff of The California Lumber Merchant. It wasn't really their time to go -but when is it for anyone?

You see, it was this way. On October 20 Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club 2 held its monthly meeting at Palos Verdes Country Club, and the event was covered and photographed, per custom, by a member of CLM's staff. He got the story. He didn't get the pictures. Okay, so you gotta overlook one goof.

But, on November l7-again a meet of Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo at Knollwood-another CLM staff member was dispatched to cover the event. He got the story-and he didn't get the pictures.

So what would you do? Yeah, that's what we did-took both of them out to the wall, offered them Hoo-Hoo blindfolds (which they nobly refused) and shot them.

Unfortunately, our pistol aim was about as good as theirs with the camera. So, you'll be seeing them around again, getting their stories, aiming with their cameras -and with a look of desperation in their eyes.-Editor.
