reported to the club on their proposed projects for the year.
Five students spending the summer in Chino from the sister city of San Juan del Rio Mexico were greeted,
along with five exchange students to San juan from Chino the year before.
President Loren Stone’s new executive board scraped together a bare quorum and “streaked through a $9,118
budget.” Inflation is leaving a mark so fines are to average out $40, up $5. Dues increased for the second half by $5,
making a total of $55 for the year.
The club decided to draw on its $6,843 savings account for the 50th anniversary celebration expenses. There
is also a savings account for the Boy Scout program and a student loan fund.
Helping the sergeant-at-arms was Frank Orndorff who said he’s been waiting 15 years for the opportunity,
then went around cutting off ties. He didn't do so well because Gene Valpreda was wearing a breakaway and Hal
Courtney hid his!.
(Writer’s note —-these days the results would probably be pretty slim—- only Bob Biberston and Dick
Meyer seem to be so attired.)
