Valentine Ump-pah-pah Helps in
Rehearsal and Band Sounds Swell
BY PAT BRENNAN
Hi guys and gals! Here’s a re
minder that your precious Sum
v a c a t i o n is
now half over.
I know i t
doesn’t seem
like it, but
it must have
been that
part - time
job you had
or all the cx
1 a - little -
things you’ve
had to do.
All-in - all,
school is just
six weeks a
way, but don’t
PcU
Brennan
let that get you down (which
I’m sure it won’t) for there are
a million things on schedule be
fore the Summer ends.
Atkinson Hay Days are Au
gust 17 and 18, and does anybo
dy know who Mr. Hay is? Hay
Days in Atkinson is something
not to be missed.
Burwell and Valentino ro
deos are also things to be re
considered. Then there is the
great Holt county fair in
September. That should keep
us busy al least until school
starts again.
Two sub-teen-agers, Mary and
Judy Ryan, were heard on the
NBC “Welcome Travelers” pro
gram on July 9.
Patty Beha has been visiting
Nancy and Merilyn Beha for the
past week or so.
Speaking of Nancy Beha, it
seems that the main attraction
around town these days is Slats’
drive in. There you’ll find Barb
and Sharon Hancock and Kath
dyn Judge hard at work. Some
times they get so hard up they
have to have Marde Birming
ham on the job.
A fairly famous foursome seen
at the movies last week were
Donna Davis, Dan DeBacker, |
Quentin Cavanaugh and Helen
Kubitschek.
Saturday the O’Neill band
was honored to have Lee Kjel
sen, of Valentine, conduct. Mr.
Kjelsen said that O’Neill has
one of the best bands in the
state and that he thought it a
great honor to get to conduct ,
this band. Thank you, Mr. Kjel- !
sen, for both the compliment
and the splendid conducting.
At a band rehearsal a few
weeks ago, some 15 teen-agers
came down from Valentine to
help with the rehearsal and
they sure helped fill in. What
we couldn’t do with them, too!
The band sure sounded swell.
Tonight Bob Calume and his
orchestra will be at the Legion
club, so I’ll see you there.
