Sheepdip If you happen to be walking down the street and see two es caped convicts without their num bers, don't panic. It will be Jack Probst and Hatch Farnsworth after their new haircuts. They like to ) say that they traded haircuts, but the truth of the matter is that they dunked each oher in some of Jack's sheepdip and the solution was a mite too strong and removed all of. Hatch's hair and most of Jack's.' Hatch was dunked first and really got the works and when it came Jack's turn, the solution was somewhat some-what weakened and only removed his hair in patches with quite a wide swath across the top. Anyway, Any-way, it looks cool for summer!

Pony league requires Doys o: u ana u ana , Pony Grads requires boys of 15 and 16, West Millard finds itself in the unicjue position of not meeting meet-ing any of those requirements. 13 year old boys are included in the Pee-Wee league and 16 year olds usually are in the Softball program. The new league will follow pony league rules in regards to size of field, men required to fill a team and in other aspects. Perry Winsor, chairman, felt that if at all possible, it would be ideal to have three men in charge of, one team. With that many men ' responsible, no hardship would be worked on any one man. Names submitted for coaches and managers are; Max Bennett, Dick Bracken, Eob Riding, Jay Bennett, Sherm Perkins, Joe Stewart, George Spencer, Doug Allred, George Bliss, Jim Williams, Jay Risenmay and Bob Horlacher.

Many guesses have been made as to what this "What's it" really real-ly is. The animal has no brisket like an ordinary Black Angus. (That's what its mother Is). It has feet and legs like a deer, runs and bounds like an antelope ante-lope and from the front it looks like a pig. The ears are smallish and in the wrong place. A few zn u What'sItLookLikeToYou? oi the guesses are inbred, cross between a deer and a cow, a cross between an elk and a cow, or maybe its papa was an antelope. ante-lope. You pays your money and you takes your choice. Our personal per-sonal opinion is that it's just a damn ugly calf, with the only true fact being its mother is a Black Angus.
