y.;^.?vv-v .V'. " - • . '• .'• • : . THE McHENRY y.lteeh m t' Aja- theoH;'! Oh, Paddy dear and did you hear-- It's St. Patrick's Day in the jnornin'. Old tunes are being played and sung to gladden the hearts of all good Irishmen. Tunes that never grow old. They have a lilt that smiles down through the years. - St. Patrick's Day is looked upon by many as a day when the Irish have the special privilege of quaffing an extra drop and winding up the day with "foits" -- the likes o' which, you'd see no other time. Others see the sacred side of the day and gain a spiritual lift from the observance. Whatever be their name, many are the Irish on this day of the year. You would have to know one from the "Ould Sod" to see in their eyes the joy that pounds in their, hearts yhen the "Wearin' O' The Green" strikes up. SKATING PABW. The McHenry Dknc©' :>hid Figure Skating Club announces a St. Patrick's Day pa^ty at the Just For Fun rink. This is for persons of all ages.

A special group will do the Canadian 10-step. Four couples will do a straight waltz. A free-style skater will show her skill. Mrs. Herman Dowe tells us that the young people are very enthusiastic about this skating program. It would be nice if the parents or other interested people would join the fun. We're confused. Thomas F. BOlger tells us that Elgin will go all the way in the Sweet Sixt# in (he told us that at regional tftne). Erv Zilly's crystal ball t>ws Pinckneyville out front.

Hbpe we can find reporters in each group to turn in stories. Our sports page will handle the news, but lacks the manpower to cover every event. St. Mary's basketball team came out the victor in a championship bout with Dundee in the Four-County tournament Saturday night at Lake Zurich, 34 to 32. This group of boys, under the able coaching of Jim Doran, displayed excellent team work which has been the keynote of their success. In this championship game it was Bob Hauser who led the scoring with 22 points, assisted by some fine passing by Mark Vycital. John Steinbach, Dick Herdrich and Jim Hester get a hand for real good ball handling while John Tonyan's rugged rebounding played a big part in victory. The final whistle found the champs" playing a possession game to protect their small lead. The boys played a great game and found themselves the proud possessors of the first place trophy. In the first game of the tournament, St. Mary's defeated Johnsburg 40 to 26 with Mark Vycital, a sharp-shooter all year, leading the scoring department. The semi-finals tested the mettle of the champs as they defeated Lake Zurich 28 to 26. John Steinbaoh played one of his best games to lead his mates with 12 points. Besides the first place tournament trophy, the team was presented the second place award for regular season play, having won 10 and lost 3. Dundee placed first with a 12-1 record. The Junior Varsity was presented with the first place trophy for their season's play, winning 12 games while losing only one.

TOURNEY REAL SUCCESS Johnsburg Juniors And Seniors Win Division Trophies The • ninth annual Forester State Basketball Tournament concluded last Sunday night as a large crowd gathered in the MCHS gym to see the champion-^ ship games, awards and special' program. Reactions and expressions from state-wide visitors leaves assurance that McHenry again did itself proud in the way of hospitality, fine facilities and the cooperation of many individuals in planning -- then making plans click. Pleasing programs under the outstanding leadership of Fred Meyers prevailed throughout the three Sundays of activity. Tournament games were handled smoothly under the direction of John "Honky" Miller and Bud Thennes. A fine spirit of fraternalism prevailed, but once that whistle blew it was every team for itself with competitive spirit that gave the crowds some real thrills in hard-fought, clean games. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon the championship games got under way for the various divisions. The opening game saw a fine collection of McHenry Rangers go down in defeat to the St. Gregory five of Chicago, 37-32. The local team had trouble getting started and trailed 23 to 9 at the half way post. The boys roared back to outscore the victors 23 to 14 in the last half, but the early lead was too much to overcome. Close Games St. John's of Johnsburg built up . an early lead over St. Gregory's in the Senior division, then had to work to stave off the opposition in a game that wound up 66 to 63. The Johnsburg team showed a lot of class throughout the tournament and were popular champions. In the evening the fans saw a real good overtime battle in which the Johnsburg Juniors edged St. Gregory 32 to 31. Smith sank a free throw in the overtime and the Johnsburg little fellows passed the ball around like pros to keep control in a lousing final 30 seconds. Captain Ritt, scored 20 points for the scrappy losers in this one. As predicted, St. Anne's of East Mcline won the heavyweight championship, but not with the ease predicted. The' final score was 74 to 60, but- not until Connie Miller fouled out in the last quarter did the St. Anne team pull away. Connie scored 21 points in addition to some great rebounding against some mighty big fellows. St. Anne's five was i recognized from the start as the team to beat and many thought they would walk away with the lionors. They have size and a well-balanced team. Shelley came back into the game after a rest and scored 12 of his 19 points in the final quarter. couple <m*m Allows; kept things moving with a spirit that is catching. As a warmup for St. Patrick's Day, Tobin flashed a ^partly green tie on the final night. Hie Bolger brothers, Tom and Bill, and Mel Stuessy officiated in all the games, calling them close only when it was necessary to keep the situation in hand. George Miller drew All-Star recognition, but a sprained ankle, kept him out of the final game with East Moline. We do not have a complete list of All-Stars, but recall local boys who won awards: Tom Oeffling, R. Smith, Greg Novak, Dennis Conway, John Bolger, Francis Oeffling, Paul Steffan and Mark Vycital. Hope we haven't missed anybody. George Rodenkirk should be presented with a pillow. He scored all games and kept a real neat book.
