When two of the three elected officers couldn't be present for the picture, Kent rose to the occasion and appointed two club members as stand-ins. Listening to him are, from the left, Denise Miner, 10, (pinch-hitting for Kitty Bell Stevens, club treasurer); Jane Morley, 11, president; and Bill Keely, 10 (batting for Jim McEachern, secretary).
