Solina W.!. Entertains On October 2nd, Solina Women's Institute entertained the Girls' Baseball team and Junior and Senior Soccer teams who were top winners for this season. The entertainment was in the form of a dinner, presenta- tions and dance held in Solina Community Hall. The coaches and wives and girl or boy friends, or wives were guests along with the team members. When the whole group were seated at the table, Mrs. Viola Ashton, convenor for the occasion, asked Mr. Harvey Yellowlees, Junior team c l' to lead in singing As usual, the dinner was a typical sample of meals provided and served by Solina ladies. Each guest did full justice to the delicious food and repeatedly expressed their enjoyment. >llowing the dinner, all the ',<ms were asked to retire to the upstairs, where Mr. Tahn James, also a guest. took pictures of the winning teams. The music for the dance was provided by Mr. E. Archer of Bowmanville. His numbers were of a variety to please all ages and square dancing was included. Parents and friends were also invited to be present during the evening. The presentations took place while the music master took a break. Mrs. Ashton cal'ed on Mlrs. Bernice Watson president of our WI. to make a presentation. This was donated by the W.I. to the most valuable baseball player from the girls' team. Mrs. Watson called on Miss Susan Vice, coach of the girls' soft ball team, to make the presentation. In turn, Susan called each of the team members to the platform. For three years these girls have put their all into a real effort on behalf of the team. This year it paid off, and they were the champion team. The team girls had individually voted on the most valuable player. This was none other than Debbie Geis- berger, catcher for Solina girls. "Congratulations" to Debbie from all. Susan pre- sented this trophy provided by the Solina W.I. to Debbie along with a small one which she may keep. The big trophy will be passed around each year to the most valuable member. Susan also presented a base- ball medallion to each mem- ber of the team. Mrs. Viola Ashton next called on Mr. Harvey Yellow- lees, coach of the Junior Soccer team. He called each of the Junior Soccer Boys to the front. He presented the "Yel- lowlees' Family Trophy" to the most improved player of the year. This proved to be David Snowden. Again we say Congratulations- to David. The Ferguson trophy for the player of the ' year was Champs presented to Dennis Yellow- lees. This decision was made by the team members' vote. The boys would like to buy jackets, but funds at present are not too plentiful. Mrs. Ashton, then called on Kevin Gibson, of the Junior team. Kevin, very capably, on behalf of the team presented a Plaque to Mr. Harvey Yellow- lees, their coach, for all his efforts and patience. This Plaque was inscribed: "In appreciation of your help and dedication over the years 1976 Darlington Champs, So- lina Junior Soccer Club". Mrs. Ashton then called on Ron Baker, of the Senior Soccer Team. Ron asked ail the Senior Team to the front. The Ferguson trophy for the player of the year was presented to Boyd Knox. Ewart Werry, a valuable player on the Senior Team, who also is fluent with words, expressed the appreciation on behalf of ail the teams, to the W.I. for the dinner and evening's entertainment. He commented that they not only had the champion teams, but aiso faithful fans and support- ers. The Music Man, Mr. Archer then took over for more dancing. He also made a generous donation to the Junior Boys Team towards buying jackets. Ail enjoyed dancing for the rest of the evening. The older ones learned new steps with the younger ones being the teachers. They in turn enjoyed the older square dances. Congratulations again to Debbie, Susan, David, Har- vey, Dennis and Boyd and all the teams, a big "Thank You" to Mrs. Ashton, Mrs. Watson and our Women's Institute.

The Yelverton teams batting prowess was awesome if not awful. Only four bits in the whole game - Terry Malcolm and Trevor Nesbitt each had two. Nestleton were heavy on the bats and had 3 home runs. Dale Stinson for Yelverton had 12 strike outs to Mcleouds 6 for Nestleton. Homerun kings were Bobbie Munro, Grant Mclaughlin (who also had 3 runs to his credit) and Tom Parker.
