The hearing originally scheduled • for last Monday was continued for one week, and the boy will appear next Monday before Police Magistrate Fred H. Smith.

By HBilly" Kinsala * Tbe Athletic banquet held at the high school last Thursday, March 12, went off with great success, owing to the interesting speakers and well served dinner. The guest speaker of the evening asked by Coach Reed to attend the banquet, was Coach Norgren, head coach of basketball at the University of C|iicag9. Mr. Norgren told som# very odd incidents about his career as 4 coach and how he and his players had traveled through the States and Japan, playing games at places that were very unusual and amusing. One place especially that he mentioned was in Texas where he had a scheduled game. Upon arriving at the hall wfcere they were to play he noticed a large red-hot stove in tjbe middle of the bfsloetball floor. He asked the opposite team's coach if it would be there when they played and received a puzzling reply. The opposing coach said, "Don't mind the stove, we can play on the floor and won't get burned badly, maybe just around the elbows and shins." Well, Coach Norgren wouldn't agree to this because he didn't want his boys burned. So he said they would call off the game and was just going to tell the oilier coach, when suddenly four cowboys entered carrying two big planks. They went over to the stove, took down the stove--pipe, put the planks under the stove, lifted it up, and carried it out to the street, liiey played the game. The speech was very entertaining and I know everyone enjoyed it immensely. The honored toast-master of the evening was Earl Walsh, who was in a jovial mood and kept the boys laughing wrCi his witty remarks. As you all kndw Earl has followed the school's athletic events through the season, writing them in this paper with great style. He announced the speakers and gave some joke about them that would make us rock with laughter. Coach Reed worked hard to produce a good program for the guests and the athletic boys, helped by Assistant Coach McCracken and his captains, Vernon Kramer and Jerome Justen. He asked Coach Norgren to come here and speak for this occasion* as an inspiration to the boys, and also prepared this banquet as a farewell to the boys who are graduating this year. Miss Justen, Home Economics teacher, prepared with the aid of her class, an especially appetizing fourcourse dinner, which was served by the Freshman girls. She also planned and decorated the banquet tables upon which were placed yellow jonquils and candles and about which were colorful salads and fruit cocktails. She worked hard in preparing the food and certain!y deserves Credit for her fine work. CHURCHES HONOR IRELAND'S SAINT Tuesday was St. Patrick's Day, anniversary of the death of Ireland's patron saint, who fiftean- centuries ago drove the pagan Druids from Ireland. Throughout the world, regardless of creed, those of Gaelic Mood observe the day as symbolic of the noble history of their race. Brought to Erin as a slave, St. Patrick expelled the Druid priesthood and converted the people to Christianity. Many kings and chiefs ruled Erin. From the counties where they reigned sprang their descendants whose names are familiar now in the world's record of achievement. The kings and chiefs were designated by the prefixes "O" and "Mc" before their names. It was customary for the members of a clan to take the name of its chief. • • St. Patrick was honored in all Catholic churches on Tuesday, March 17. Lenten discipline is relaxed for the patronal feast day of the special saint of the Irish people, although the special religious significance of the feast is not overlooked. At St. Patrick's church the patron saint of the church was honored at a high mass at 7:S0 a. m., followed by benediction and a sermon on St. Patrick by the pastor, Father Wm. A. O'- Rourke. Before the mass a program of Irish ballads was rendered by the organist, Mrs. Carl Weber. RIVERSIDE DRIVE RESIDENT DIES John Singer, 75 years old, died at his home on Riverside Drive Saturday afternoon. He had been confined to his bed for the past six years, following a stroke of paralysis in 1929. Funeral services were held at 10:30 a. m., Monday at St. Patricks church, with burial in St. Patricks' cemetery. Mr. Singer, who had lived in McHenry for the past seven years, is survived by his wife and three „sons of Chicago. [ONE OR TWO? STILL THE QUESTION DECISION MUST MADE SOON BE •Settlement of the dispute over whether Eighth District Democrats nominate one or two candidates for state representative in the April It primary appears to rest with county clerks of the three district counties, Lake, McHenry and Boone, principally because each is in charge of ordering election ballots in his respective territory. Due to the fact that primary ballots must indicate to the voter the number of candidates to be nominated, the question of which resolution is valid must necessarily be decided as soon as possible. The committee, composed of Paul Doherty, Edward O'Brien and Emmett Maroney met for the purpose of adopting a resolution on the matter, with the result that Doherty and O'Brien voted for one candidate to be nominated and Maroney refused to sign the resolution. Mr. Maroney expressed the opinion CLAYTON . JONES MAXWELL NUMEROUS SO EVENTS OCCUR 9 ST.
