LaVyrle was a really good sport and didn’t mind being interrupted for a photo. Pictured visiting with her are Father Thielman, Sandra Blenkush and Catherine Krogh.

The OTW league ball club from Clarissa, still smarting from a 21-2 defeat handed to them by the local club a few weeks back, appeared at the Browerville High School athletic field and trimmed the locals in a good baseball game last Sunday afternoon by a 3 to 1 score. An extra large cheering crowd was present to witness some very good ball playing.
