Los Banos Rotary Club History
Lions, Rotarians Have Joint Dinner

The Lions and Rotary Clubs met at a joint dinner Tuesday evening at the Masonic Temple as a preliminary feature of the annual all-star softball classic between the two clubs. Rotary’s past president, R. L. Puccinelli opened the meeting and toastmastered the affair, with Lion President Sam Spina officiating.

The feature attraction of the program, a motion picture of the last World Series, fizzed out when camera technicians R. M. Miano and L. J. Spindt failed in their attempt to operate the projector.

Booby prize for the evening went to a double quartet of four Rotary and four Lion songsters who waded bravely but discordantly through “Let Me Call You Sweetheart” and “My Wild Irish Rose.” The song birds included C. R. Pryor, Joe Ebner, Ray McCauley and Dick Durrett of the Lions; Newt Olson, F. E. Buck, W. N. Galloway and J. L. Toscano of Rotary.
