With her, standing from left to right," are Charlene LIFE ON THE BAY By Dorothy Davis and Elsa Mary Reese There was not much action on Pistakee this week as most of our sailors attended the annual Wisconsin Yachting association regatta at Pewaukee Lake, about fifteen miles west of Milwaukee, Wis. Frank Waters, Jack Deroche, Ray Olson, Alice Leach, Norman Reese and Bill Fletcher sailed their boats in the threerace regatta. About sixty, boats from various small lakes compete against each other and this year the Matt brothers from Pewaukee became the first place trophy winners. Jack Deroche, sailing Y-3, was the only sailor in the Pistakee fleet to receive a trophy by placing seventh in the final standings. Bill Fletcher, Y-88, sailed consistently good races on both Saturday and Sunday. Absence from the Friday race, because of summer school, hindered Bill's chances of receiving a trophy. Alice Leach had the hard luck of forgetting her tiller, thus causing her to use a very heavy and awkward one in substitute. All in all, our sailors had a very good time at the regatta. On Thursday, our commodore. Mr. Deroche, will be home from the Lake Forest hospital. We will all be happy to see him back again. Next Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Norman Reese and Jack Deroche will be attending the Inland Invitational at Cedar Lake, Wis. On Saturday and Sunday the rest of our fleet will be the guests of Okauehee Lake for the annual regatta between the two lakes. Dowe of McHenry, Marine Day queen; Paul Frederick of Crystal Lake, a member of the staging committee; Virgil Smith, membership chairman for the Farm Bureau; Allison Pringle of' May-. rengo, Miss McHenry county of 1951; and Louise Hunt of Ringwood.

Last Sunday they went up to Richmond and won a 6 to 3 ball game that put them in a tie for fourth place in the league standings. It was "Sonn£" Miller, pf the McHenry Millers, who took the lead in beating the Richmond Millers. "Sonny" pitched a 6- hitter besides batting in the clean-up spot and contributing a lusty double to the offense department. It v«as big Connie Miller Who came through with, a blow that gave Richmond all their, runs after some loose fielding helped put the Shamrocks in trouble. Connie smacked a round-tripper deep into center field with two mates aboard to give- Richmond their three runs. John Bolger, rookie Infielder, played short and teamed nicely with Paul Judson as a second base combination to keep your eyes on in the Shamrocks rebuilding program.
