Boys
Club members planting Christmas Trees in 1957-58. These trees
were meant to be sold in future years for fund raising but
the land that they were planted on was not located on Boys
Club property and when the land was sold the trees were included
in the sale. The trees are now fully grown and can be seen
from the lower fields on the far left.
