The U-18 Girls, Fevernova this past fall won the Inter-County Junior Winter League in their age group. According to the league standings, our girls finished the season not only in first place but with some impressive stats as well. With a record of (3-0-0) the team finished the season with 23 goals for and only one against. Congratulations to the team and staff for their achievement!

In January of 1965, Antonia Kreutzer, Emma Muller and Emily Fricker requested of the Board to officially found a Dance Group. Permission was granted and we began to search for dancers. This was done by word of mouth. As some children had performed in the previous year at either Kirchweihs or at our Christmas Party, we were on our way. We had two groups – an older group of boys and girls ages 9 to 13 and a younger group of girls only ages 5 to 8. It was decided to have our first performance in May and we began practicing weekly as soon as possible. The older group consisted of Fred Weber, Anthony Wagner, Paul Serwo, Joseph Weissgerber, Michael Wagner, Stefan Muller, Otto Fischer, Ludwig Frick, Florian Kempf, Mary Ellen Kerper, Mary Weber, Betty Baranyos, Kathy Silcox, Ruth Kreutzer, Rosemarie Muller, Patty Noel, Julie Ann Wagner and Linda Muller. The younger girls group consisted of Betty Ann Kempf, Vicky Fischer, Marlene Fricker, Linda Muller, Debbie Bradley, Debbie Menhardt, Lorry Walter, Renate Weissgerber, Linda Galgon, Kathy Serwo, Kathy Wagner, Heidi Menhardt, Barbara Bradley and Karen Frick. Each group would perform two folk dances. The older group would perform a May Pole Dance and an old German folk dance to the tune of “Freut euch des Lebens” while the younger group performed the “Kinderpolka” and “Hansel and Gretel.” Some of the board members smiled sarcastically as they watched our practice sessions as they walked through the clubhouse (the little “old shack” that used to be next door to our present clubhouse.) They thought it would be impossible for these little kids to dance. We would see at our Folk Dance Festival in May! ef (TO BE CONTINUED)
