25 years ago — June 30, 1983 The Department of Motor Vehicle’s twice-a-month service will remain in Patterson but will be eliminated in Newman. Twelve members of Patterson Boy Scout Troop 81 and their adult leader will leave Friday on a 4,000-mile round trip to Calgary, Alberta, Canada, camping all the way. In Canada, they will visit the World Scout Jamboree and enjoy the popular Calgary Stampede rodeo. The Scouts will camp in Yellowstone National Park on their way home, traveling in their troop-owned van. Making the trip with Scoutmaster Ron Swift will be Chris White, Erich Karp, Chris Dennis, Michael Sierra, Jeff and Vince Farrar, David Carpenter, Matt Lara, Ben Swift, Jimmy Garey, Peter Markum and Victor Field. School officials have been debating the length of the high school day. Trustees finally voted 4-3 for a 355-minute day with six periods of 55 minutes each, plus a 25-minute tutorial period. 50 years ago — June 26, 1958 Straight-A students on Patterson High’s fourth-quarter honor roll are Donna Hamilton, Kyle Weisenberger, Joan Heitman, Sandra McDowell, Al Stehli, Donald Johnson, Marilyn Hamilton and Linda Lee. By a 9-1 vote, trustees from the Patterson, Newman and Gustine high school districts and the Stanislaus County School District committee favor consolidating the West Side district. The proposal now goes to the Merced County committee. This year’s apricot crop is rated as “awfully sick.” The crop is not expected to total more than 20 percent of the normal tonnage. For that reason the price being paid by the canners is fantastically high, ranging from $135 to $140 a ton. Virginia Williams is the new president of the local Soroptimist Club. 75 years ago — June 30, 1933 Patterson Township voters followed the trend and repealed both the national and county prohibition measures on Tuesday’s ballot. The postal rate has been cut from 3 cents to 2 cents, but only for delivery within the same city or surrounding rural area. Plans to create a local apricot pool by forming a cooperative have been dropped. Several large growers decided against participating. County supervisors have promised to proceed with construction of a bridge over the San Joaquin River east of Patterson, if plans are practicable. Southern Pacific has cut its passenger service rate from 2.6 to 2 cents a mile. The McConnell Market is this week selling a 15-ounce can of tomato juice for 5 cents.
