50 YEARS AGO (1958)

Among the birds on exhibit today at Everett Racing Pigeon Club’s free public show at Floral Hall in Forest Park was one from the loft of Howard Craig. Pearl Eye, “Bird of the Year for 1958,” flew a record race from Eureka, Calif., in 12 hours, 11 minutes.

Everett High School was being represented at the College Entrance Examinations at the University of Washington by seven students: Richard Ingram, Gerald Skaare, Dennis Blick, Ern Anderson, Jim Bortner, Karen Hegel and Juanita Fale.

25 YEARS AGO (1983)

Ceremonies were conducted at the courthouse today to commemorate the 42nd anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Rev. Samuel Neufeldt, Everett police chaplain, led the group in a prayer for today’s servicemen and women who faced violence in other parts of the world.

Fred Brokaw of Everett was thinking of warmer weather today when he grabbed a tire iron and pie slicer and sculpted an armchair angler from snow in his front yard. Forecasters said the high-pressure system that brought cold weather was giving way to moist, unstable air that should spawn showers.
