BULLSEYE
CONTRASTS
Sunday found us strolling
around the center taking
our last look at this place
we had come to regard as
home for the past 6 months.
During that stroll, w e
couldn't help but notice
the progress made in the
center's sports activities
in the months gone by.
Where cattle once grazed
and coyotes, prowled, now
lie basketball courts and
softball diamonds. Where
Indian battle cries once
rent the air, now there are
heard the enthusiastic
yells of sports-minded re-
sidents. Where preying
buzzards swooped through
the air, now kites are seen
floating lazily in the sky.
Such were the sharp
contrasts that flashed in
our mind, as we passed now
upon row of evacuee barracks.
FEMMES
We stuck our nose into
the girls' athletic pro-
gram, not so long ago and
gave out with our 2-cents'
worth. Our utterance was
a vain effort to create
more interest in femme
sports--or was it? We
would still like to see
their program blossom forth.
Therefore, we shall make
it our business to urge
the girls to take more in-
terest in the recreational
activities and attend a
girls' sports meeting to-
night in the 7E recreation
office at 7:30.
If this goes unheeded,
and there is the resulting
cry of "what is the rec-
dept doing for the girls?"
the girls will have no one
to blame but themselves.
SO LONG
This column is our last
for the Granada PIONEER. By
the time this goes to press,
we will be on our way to
Nebraska to try our hand
at farm work. In writing
30, we wish to say thanks
to our readers; to the gang;
to our "head man" Joe Mc-
Clelland; and to our co-
worker Joseph Patrick Ide.
Our work on the PIONEER
staff has really been en-
joyable.
Sincerely yours,
Jiro Sumita.

SPORTS
12H GIRLS
WIN, 14-13
The 12H girls ' softball
team earned a thrilling
14-13 victory over the 11H
girls last Sunday at
12H softball diamond. The
lead changed hands many
times until the final canto
when the 12H girls drove
in 2 runs to break the ice.
Toshiko Nozawa collected
4 out of 5 to be the hitting
star of the day, while
teammate Sally Yamashita
turned in a superb hurling
job.
SIGN-UP AT REC
DEPT. REQUESTED
The recreation depart-
ment is making a frantic
search for girls' softball
and volleyball teams.
"The league will start
as soon as enough teams
have signed up," stated
Miyoko Hashiguchi, girls
athletic director. All
teams that are interested
in forming a girls’ soft-
ball and volleyball league
are requested to sign up
immediately at the 7E rec-
reation office,
8E SLUGGERS DOWN
ZEPHYRS, 2-8
Augmented by hard-hitting
outfielder, Kenny Ohki, and
speedball chucker, Sharkey
Kishi, the 8F Sluggers out-
sludged the Zephyrs, 12-8,
in a softball tilt at the
11G field Sunday afternoon.
Slugger Nob Kuwatani
and Zephyr Jack Hamahashi
both clouted homers.
A Word to the Wise. . .
A spectator suffered
a severe lip injury during
the Block 9E and 7E softball fracas Sunday. The ac-
cident occurred when a bat slipped out of the hands
of one of the players and struck the fan.
Such an accident would never have happened if the
crowd had heeded the warning to keep a good distance
away from the players. Perhaps this unfortunate
happening will serve as a lesson to fans attending
future games.
