WE LIKE IT
With the advent of March and Spring, the;Mave-rick Region moved
on to new and greener pastures. For those who have not as yet seen
our new home in the Ramad4 Inn, we'd like to relate that our new home
of Maverickdom is, in our way of thinking, improved over the old.
Spaciousness, 'courtesy and a prelf.nt decour prevail in abundance.
There is even enough room to move7about without fear of upsetting
something or someome.
Our first meeting in Grand Prairie was the occasion of a personal
greeting by Mr. Roy Hyde, President of the Grand Prairie Chamber
of Commerce. Mr. Hyde's gracious welcoming speech was accompanied by
the presentation to the Club on the behalf of the Ramada Inn of tro-
-..phies for the "surprise poker rally" which was held after the meeting.
Jim Tulloh expressed our thanks to Grand Prairie, the Ramada Inn and
Mr. Hyde
The "surprise poker rally," which was held after the regular
meeting by Activity Chairman Manson Mathis, turned out to be a real
ball; and a good time was had by all. The trophy for the shortest
mileage went to the thinking team of Don Muncy and Howell McCreary,
while Charlie Fern and Frau plied great skill in picking the best
poker hand for the second trophy.
MARCH EVENT
The gymkhana held at Six Flags was a "jolly good show." Manson
Mathis departed slightly from the orthodox "kana" course and gave the
members a course they could really get their teeth into. With a little
forethought and a practice run or two, it made for an enjoyable afternoon
of skiliful driving. Trophies went out in the following manner:
Ladies 1 - Leona Riley
Normal 1 - Bob Jackson
2 - Jim Savage
3 - Tom Clayton
Super 1

REGIONAL SLIDES
We used this heading last month, and the overwhelming response
gives us cause to wonder if anyone receives a newsletter. We're still
open for offers.
HELP ? - WE GET HELP .
Your editors would beg your indulgence while we bestow a laurel.
One of the biggest problems we face in getting the "straight scoop"
to you each month is the mechanical printing of the paper. We owe a
debt of gratitude to Rick Hurlock for a fine job of shouldering this
burdensome, behind-the-scene task,

OF APRIL AiD GYhiiANAS
April 12 is the date of our first endeavor to put on -a Championship
Gymkhana. The activities committee has burned much late, oil in
laying out and planning this event; however, a venture of this magnitude
cannot be adequately held with only the effort of a few. Each
member is urged .-- yea, solicited with gusto-- to aid' in the operation
of the event. Course Marshals, timers and general hard workers are,
in short supply and YOUR efforts would be welcomed.
Th- event is to be held, at Seminary South Shopping Center in
Fort Worth, with the first car out at 1:00 PM. Even if you are able
to resist the pitch for help, wetd like to see a crowd of spectators
-- so come along and watch the fun.
