On Wednesday evenfngg the gym is used primarily for basketball playing, so all boys above high shool age who like to play basketball are invited and encouraged to come down to the High School gym for an evening of fun. In addition to basketball, ping pong is proving to be a favorite sport, and then there is also shuffle board and boxing so everyone is certain of finding sol^ie activity he will enjoy. On Thursday 'evenings volleyball is the main activity on the gym floor, with the other games available for all those that care for them. On Suiiday afternoons the recreation program will run from 2 o'clock to 5 o'clock, with -basketball as the main feature. '. • On Wednesday and Thursday evenings, the program lasts from 7 to 10 o'clock. REMEMBER MCHS GAME WITH RICHMOND FIVE TOMORROW (Ffel.) NIGHT Dont forget that the high school basketball team will meet the Richmond five on the local floor on Friday evening of this week. McHenry is rolling along iiicely with three straight wins tucked away. The locals have had to battle all the way for their victories, winning from Woodstock and Northbrook by two point margins and downing Marengot with 'five points.
