Girls* All Star (by a Junior) 'The long awaited girl's all-star games Were played off last Friday night. After the preliminary frosh- _ soph game, came the sensational V'junior-senk>r game. (Incidentally. the sophomores won the game by • „®. narrow margin). The seniors' dinky, little Cheerleaders certainly tried hard enough and rumors have been circulated to the effect that the girls were forced to enlist the playing ability of their cheerleaders in the last moments of the game. By that time, the seniors were on their last legs and it was mptainly seen that the juniors had already won the game. All through the game, the juniors surpassed the seniors in everything. I don't mean to sound immodest, but after all, when a team is so obviously superior, it deserves some mention. The obvious conclusion to this essay is, of course, that the juniors were victorious. I can't quite remember what the score was, but it must have been one-sided. The .^.juniors would have won by an even greater margin, except that Bernie Buss broke the elastic in his gym suit and wag unable to play. Girl's All Star (by a Senior) The score was 16 to 15. One point dtference, for the information of . those who are afraid of the truth. The game between the senior and juniors Friday night was entirely .one-sided as it has been previously stated. Senior-sided! The seniors t led through the entire game, until the last quarter, when due to an unfortunate mistake on the part Gf the seniors, we allowed the juniors a free throw. If we would have had one more second, wc would have won by two points. The better game of course Was ^ 8en'°rs, even though Vnthe scoring cam^ out in favor of ' Juniors. The the seniors didn't get points and points ahead of the juniors in the : first place iras, that they had such outstanding beautvul cheerleaders doing little triens for the audience, the team was entirely distracted. Unfortunately, the Inferior juniors had no cheerleaders, and they* were so insanely jealous of our beautiful young acrobats that they lost their tempers and won. (A big factor intheir being victorious, and I use the term" loosely, is that the scorer was a junior). (The timer was a senior, but we won't mention that). Among those lovely, lithe, lunatics cheering for the seniors were: Don Freiijid, Dan Cartan, Clarence Thelen, Jim Sales, Don Butler, John Knox, Dick Duncan, Don Andreas, Duane Schmidtke, Herbie Engdahl and Jeri Einspar. Joan'Biggers was the able senior coach, and Joanie Freund was the captain Of the senior tegta. ' Art Awards PmoM McHenry has - been outstanding In many activities this year.

Faculty vs. Noonday The itoonday basketball team hung their heads in shame as the faculty staggered up and down the floor to beat them. A few of the statements made by the victorious teadhers: Mr." Hoffman, "It really took a lot of persuasion to get me to give up my ameteor standing a n d t u r n p r o f e s s i o n a l , " _ Mr. Wheeland, l"We imported a f?w fll reftfion thafftt*Ttorn)?c4W we TfeSTd tlfey were good at making backets." Does that sound like foul play or does that sound like foul jokes?" A.W.O.L. Those of you who wish to drop a card to -Bob Armstrong, who has been fil for about nine weeks, may send it to his home.

Wkw (HMMi M|MM step forward in batter understanding the important role played by the adrenal (land In helping *e body recover imn tp)ttrtes has bean achieved, a University of Michigan doctor states. Dr. Jerome W. Conn, an associate protestor .of internal medicine, reported ta the American Association for the Advancement of Science on research he has been conducting at the university. His study has shown that the adrenal gland calls upon a substance' in the blood known as cholesterol ta help hi producing the huge amounts of adrenal hormones needed to prolonged periods of stress Which the body undergoes at the time <tf an Injury. Cholesterol, produced largely by the liver, is the basic compound of adrenal hormones, * including eorti^ •one, the hormone found to be beneficial in the treatment of rheuma? toid arthritis. Dr. Conn says. In his experiments, Dr. Conn found the cholesterol content of the adrenal gland could be reduced 79 per cerjt within three hours by artificial stimulation which produced conditions cimilar to those created within the body during periods Of prolonged stitss. This artificial stimulation was achieved through use of ACTH, the pituitary glaiid hormone which causes the adrenal gland to produce its hormones. The effect of this prolonged stimulation of the adrenal gland has Important Implications for fuUire study of several diseases, including those of the heart, liver and kidney as well as hardening of the arteries, according to Dr. Conn. Iliese diseases are all associated With an unusual production or use of cholesterol.

K. E. ttsfctj Guard For a hobby, three Pennsyivanlans experimented with a device to prevent collisions of automobiles with trains. At a recent demonstration before state officials. and representatives of railroads |nd insurance companies, it made an impression that promises serious consideration. Described as a "magnetic eye", when installed in an automobile, bus or truck it registers the approach of a train, brakes the vehicle to a -halt and turns oB the motto. The car is. held to a stop until the irain passes. TOya When buying toys for the baby or toddler bear these facts in mind: Avoid stuffed animals with glass or button eyes. Examine toys to see that there are no removable parts which could be swallowed. Buy sturdy rattles, blocks with rounded corners,' soft balls and dolls, and push-and-pull toys with rounded handles. Do not endanger your child with shooting or target toys, shai] scissor., or poorly built wagons or carts. Also, buyers shofllti pass up toys that arc. too heavy o> complicated for the receiver. * EASTER CARDS OF CHARACTER % Sele# your RUST CRAFT 'uSi Now Vye hove a beautiful displqji YOU1L WANT TO K AN <&bld THQ Y&> fatten U Tzanck 25* ANTONSON'S CANDY SHOP 306 Elm -Street McHenry, 111.
