Well, here it is. The drama yeall always remember. (Continued from First Page) Bass--Alfred Oeffling. Drums and Bells--Alvin Baur, Margaret Herrold, Carl Weber. Novelty Features Although the band was the center of interest many and varied numbers were given in addition to this, including the "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers" by Lillian Stoffel, Minnie Ferwerda, Bernice Weber and Adeline Vogt, coached by Mrs. Koerner. The girls in their appropriate costumes put on a novel and unusual number. The accordeon solo, "My Wild Irish Rose," by Theodore Winkel, was worthy of mention as the young man dressed in rustic costume presented a striking scene as he played so well with the accompaniment of the band.. The Girls' Glee club, under the direction of Miss Dorothy Misner, gave two well rendered selections and Rita Bacon and Marie Miller sung two duets, accompanied by the band. Lowell Nye, in costume, put on a clog dance second to none and brought down the house in a round of applause. The specialty acts, were .made more attractive by colored spotlights and these, with the other electrical apparatus, were in charge of Mir. Willis, an instructor in the high school. "Two White Wings" Make Hit "The Two White Wings," the Kiwanis act presented by Covalt and Conway, made the hit of the evening and their clever witticisms, jokes and remarks about various well known citizens caused outbursts of laughter and rounds of applause. The only thing that was white about the two actors were their street cleaners' suits, as their faces were decidedly black and the two colored boys entered with brooms and shovels cleaning the streets. Their first quip was directed at the village board when Covalt remarked that he was afraid they would lose their tools as the new members of the city board were going to clean up the city and as the treasury was broke h« very much feared the board raemfo would be after his tools. Many more jokes were pulled off by these two actors who went at it like professionals and who responded to two encores with original songs, too good to repeat, entitled, "We Call Our Maid Cigar Lighter Because She NeVe-r Works," and "Thirfcty days have September, April, June and November, all the rest are Thirsty Two unless you make your own Home Brew." The two darkies were certainly a "wow" and no doubt have established a new and renowned record for themselves. Campfire Scene By Scouts The Boy Scouts put on a most interesting scene, also. Eight Scouts seated around an attractive campfire contributed to the program by a harmonica solo by Arthur Cox; vocal solo, "Beloved," by Jack Purvey; vocal solo, ""Sunshine," by Bob Peterson, and piano solo by Floyd Covalt. They also demonstrated first aid as used in drowning and the young victim was successfully and smilingly resusicitated. The boys responded to an encore by standing at salute and, in their Scout uniforms, presented a scene which brought a tear to the eye as one realized the wonderful talents and possibilities of these citizens of tomorrow. The boys enacted their parts in an earnest and whole-hearted manner and demonstrated only too well that with proper training they are going to make first class citizens for thisT-community in the future. McHenry is indeed fortunate in the talent shown by the young people of the community, who it seems are not to Be outdone by the older members of the community as well. Mr. and Mrs. Theo. Winkle, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Wormley and daughter, Dorothy, and Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Schaefer and family spent Sunday in the home of Mr. and Mrs J. C. Perkinsqn in Chicago. They also called on George Bohr, who is recovering from any operation at a hospital in Chicago./ MM J. Moving and Lnv DW iHsIStaISnIScUUe . Phone 126-R • McHenry, Illinois Widening the Telephone Horizon IN THE memory of many now living, Alexander Graham Bel! predicted that the day would come when we could talk to other countries, even across wide expanses of water. Bell's vision was made a reality when in 1926 America and England spoke together in two way conversation. Since then, this service has been opened to the public between any point in the U. S. A. and Great Britain. Mexico has been brought Into speaking distance. Important cities of continental Europe have come within our voice horizon. Even more important, the Bell System in the United States now embraces 18,500,000 telephones--a growth for the past year of more than 750,000. This is measurable progress hi widening America's telephone horizon.
