" The high school has seen a steady growth during the past several years, beautifully clear and surrounded by high bluffs with foot trails winding in and out among the trees, shrubbery and rock formations. A delightful swim in the lake was enjoyed and trails into the bluffs were followed, where caves were explored and many interesting sights recorded. Among these was aBlancd Rock, a large boulder balanced nicely on top of another stone on the side of a bluff and looking as if, at any minute, it ! might roll thundering down into the lake. Welcoming a change in travel, the trips at the lake were taken on horseback. . The boys also visited Baraboo, two miles north of Devils Lake, and there they found the worst hill of the trip. It was about a mile long with winding curves and was one of the three hi 11sup which the boys walked during the trip. This was indeed a remarkable record as anyone who has travelled the U. S. highway No. 12 Well knows. For great distances the highway is one continuation of hills and curves', resembling the scenic railway, and it was, indeed, not ain easy trip that the boys chose for their adventure. However, they enjoyed coasting down the long, steep inclines which, in a measure, repaid them for their long, hard climbs. The highways m Wisconsin are exceptionally well marked with traffic warnings and signs, but traffic is heavy along the route and the boys were often forced off the concrete pavement by passing cars. Visit Wisconsin Capital After spendnig about a day at the lake, the three McHenry lads left about 2 p. m., Wednesday on their return trip, reaching Madison, Wis., where they spent the night in the open. Here they saw the University of Wisconsin campus and other sights of interest. From Madison they chose a route taking them to Rockford, where they Weber to come to the platform and he "gets called" while at home on the finished.

Members and their wives who registered for attendance prizes totalled 225.

" The committee in charge, of the picnic is grateful*to these merchants for their donations and to the city of McHenry for the use of the park.

The little fellow was playing with the kittens in"the yard between 6 and 7 o'clock Wednesday evening when last seen and it was not long afterwards that his father, who had been milking in the barn, came out and found his body floating in the tank. Thinking at first that it was a -rag doll, the father investigated and was shocked to find the dead body of his baby soti. Find Pail In Tank Just how the fatal accident was caused will probably never be known. However, the baby's little pail was found in the bottom of the tank and it is surmised that, dropping his plaything into the water,-the -little fellow had reached in after if and lost his balance and fell in. Frantic efforts - were trade tb revive the child and doctors were summoned, but to nos avail. George Edward was bom at Ringwood «on October 26. 1935. He is survived by his parents, Edward and Olivia Kattner Bauer, two brothers^ Urban and Roland, and a sister, La- Anne.
