The newly organized league for boys from the fifth through the seventh grades, opened play Wednesday afternoon of last
week at Lucky Lanes in Mount Ayr. The league is composed of four teams -- Big Three, Frustrated Three, Ten Pin Kings and
Mighty Three.
Four hundred and seventy-five persons attended the annual Ringgold County 4-H Achievement Night held Friday
in the high school gymnasium in Mount Ayr, during which 85 4-Hers received achievement awards for their contributions to
the 4-H club program. Announced as the top 4-H clubs for 1962 were the Tingley Toppers and Tingley Topperettes. The
boys' club received a check for $50 from the Security State Bank of Mount Ayr, which money will be used to pay the
expenses of a trip in the near future.
The Mount Ayr Raiders won their second victory of the season Friday night by
downing their hosts, the Centerville Big Reds, 53 to 51, on a tip-in by Rick DEFENBAUGH with only seven seconds
remaining on the clock.
