The I listorv of Argvlc Shore /~=°T remember having a summer job cutting grass in the cemetery. Sometimes at night, I would baby-sit until about 2:00 in the morning. Being "oh so brave" at 13, one night I decided to take a short cut home through the cemetery. By the time I was about halfway through the cemetery, I had myself scared out of my mind. Suddenly the short cut was a bad idea. Fastest trip I ever made home, and didn't take the shortcut again. - Laurie Bowers r^ During the winter months, some people travelled by horse and sleigh to different homes to play cards once or twice a week. The card game was usually auction, played by both men and women. There were no phones to let people know you were coming but you didn't worry about it, you just went. j^* Gary MacPhail remembers playing for the Argyle Shore Beavers hockey team. He said that he made it on the ice once! A big rough guy from Albany checked him into the boards and he was right back into the box. He never stepped on the ice again! There were all different age groups on the team, big guys and little guys. Ewen MacPhail played in nets and Gary recalls having only one shin pad. They had the team for a couple of years. One year they won! Beavers Hockey Team 1958 hack row: Kenny MacDougall , Sterling MacPhail , Burrows MacPhail.
