	Fire Department History / Photos: My understanding is the large trophy is a traveling trophy in memory of deceased Argos Fire Chief Joe Shivers. Do not know when this started, but this photo is from Argos winning the second year in a row. When, they won in 1961, Argos got to keep the trophy due to winning three years in a row. This picture is from the Waterball Tournament of 1960 at the 4-H fair. Argos Team Members left to right; Dick Grolich, John Hessler, Willis Burroughs, and Clark Pearson. ( I know the 1st & 3rd persons are right, I did not know the other two.) I believe the apparatus in the background is a 1957 Chevrolet Pumper.....information provided by Mark Thompson.
