Softball Game at PHS Wednesday Night, 8 OK (sic)

        A treat is in store for the citizens in Ponchatoula next 
Wednesday night when the newly organized Lions Club will play a 
game of softball with the Rotary club.

        Before the war the Rotary Club boasted of an undefeated 
aggregation known as the Romping Rotarians which club played 
several games arrayed in rompers of various hues.

Since that time many of the players on that team have gone into 
the service of our country but there is still enough of the old 
crowd left to make the game next Wednesday interesting to the
