Last week’s image showed the composition room at Hood River News, where the newspaper was laid out in linotype blocks, visible on the left. And Patty McCarthy had a story about the Oct. 28 “Mystery.” McCarthy, who attended high school here, said the Powderpuff games where the only time, once a year, that girls were allowed to play a formal sports game — one of football, and one of basketball. “We weren’t allowed to play sports back then,” McCarthy said. “... It was so exciting to be able to do it, although I have to admit that my first Powderpuff football game I was so disappointed to find out it was flag football. I had been playing backyard football with all the neighbor kids all my life so we were totally in tackle ... We couldn’t play sports along with a lot of others, but we got that one chance each year.”
