A noisy crowd, lots of action, and queens on their thrones punctuated the 26th annual Little Olympics staged by the Kiwanis Club at Wolverine Stadium Monday evening. The scene sometimes resembled bedlam, as youngsters from central, Diamond, Park View and Capitol Heights schools ran, jumped, dashed, relayed and yelled at one time at various locations on the field.

MYSTERY! MURDER MYSTERY!! Oh! My! Oh, and it is a luncheon too!! That’s even better! Yes, the Red Hat Ladies were treated by the Young at Heart Ladies to a murder mystery luncheon on May 13th. We were all eating these delicious ham and cheese in a Hawaiian bun, chips and a delicious cake when all of a sudden one of the ladies, Sharron Holman, grabbed her stomach and went running around the table and fell over. Cindy McDaniel jumped down from the table to examine her and said that she thought that Sharon was stabbed! Joyce Brinlee said to leave her alone, that she never liked her. Shirley was so upset as she said that was her sister and that she loved her. Was she dead? I never saw any blood. Cindy said she was stabbed in the stomach.
