Would you like to come and teach here in Browerville?” The words were spoken some 34 years ago by Gus Blenkush, superintendent of the Browerville Schools. At the time, he was speaking to a young man named Everett Sykora, who just graduated from St. John’s University the previous spring, and was scheduled to enter the Air Force in two weeks.

The Browerville OTW team defeated Verndale 11-4. The game was somewhat of a merry-go-round. In fact, the score keeper is still dizzy from watching the boys run bases. Our congratulations to Shorty Mace for his fine performance. Shorty was officially at bat two times, got two hits, scored two runs and had no errors.
