All of the little girls brought home cupcakes, each with her own name on it, and were they proud! The boys at tlr# party were Janice's big brothers. Elaine Speaker was 4 years old on the, day when "trick or treat" was popular, Oct. 31. Elaine had a party too, with Hallowe'en, favors for all the little girls. Elaine's guests were Peggy Hoffman, Janice Harris, Peggy Pacey, Ruth Carlson and Mragaret stoxen. Some of the little girls who went to both parties were really excited and can hardly wait until next year so they can do it again. Friendly Beggars What a loot the friendly beggars hauled into the Community church basement Hallowe'en eve. Surely the clothing, sewing supplies, school supplies, etc., will help to cement international relations with needy friends overseas. The friendly beggars consumed three gallons of cider, numerous doughnuts, scads of sandwiches and some delectable date squares. All the Plaindealer carrier boys from Richmond were there, but you would never have known them. The high school Youth Fellow ship group enjoyed an evening of square dancing and taffy pulling. Such lovely young ladies and such pretty dresses! All the male population had such bright, happy faces, that I felt sure they all had fun! . a few days with the Kenneth Grangers recently.

Dance Revue The annual dance revue staged at the high school and sponsored by the Richmond grade school P.T.A. was interesting, colorful and enjoyable. It's always interesting to watdh the progress of young people from year to year and the girls do a little better each year. The title of the recital was "Richmond in Revue." Miss Pat McCurdy, the dancing teacher, had a very good solo ballet dance entitled "Dance of the Spirit." There certainly was variety to the program. The first part of the program featured the dancers in blue jeans and flannel shirts. Next there were "Tapping Cowboys," then "Sweethearts on Parade," the/i a lovely ballet dance entitled .'The Enchanted Garden," with fairies, flowers and many frills and much femininity. After intermission time, when the spectators stretched and drank coke and chewed popcorn, the dancers put on "Campus Cut- Ups." The next part featured "Injuns" and the final number was "Come Waltz'With Me." The mothers did well indeed to make such a variety of costumes There was satin and net and feathers and bows. Accordion pupils played some numbers between the various dance numbers. Mrs. V. Manka designed the dancing dolls of silver on the back drops.

The following members of Rotary attended the Rotary Ann night with their wives last Thursday in MCHenry: Harry Anderson, Fred Gunderson, Dr. Harris, Fank Buchert, Jim Mclntee, Floyd Goehring, Bud Hendrickson and Claud Gordon. Those attending heard Rev. E. Cedric Pope from Princeton talk on "American Foreign Relations." Grade (School News The first graders enjoyed their Hallowe'en party and especially their parade through the various rooms. Maurice Orsolini received a prize for the prettiest costume, Paul Wickersham and Dennis Hoffman were tied for the funniest costume and Jimmy Schroeder had the most scary costume. The first graders really enjoyed the assembly program at the high school last Friday. They decided that Cotts, the magician, found enough wieners for his lunch. Nancy Gunderson has been looking forward to dancing in the dance revue. She is the only first grader in the Richmond grade school who is a member of the class. Michael Burks brought a piece of sugar cane to school. His grandmother sent it to him from Personals | Last summer Norman Karls took Miss Velora Sutton for his bri^e. Both the bride and groom had graduated from RBCHS. Norman and Velora are living in the Leo Karls apartment on Highway 173 four houses east on Highway 12. Many former residents visited town last weekend, or so it seemed anyway. Mr. and Mrs. Burt Nafziger and their eldest son, Cpaig, visited Medo Harsha. They saw many of their friends at the 'games last Saturday. They all looked well and are planning to move into a house which they will buy in the next few weeks. Craig • played with many of his old friends down at the football field. It's good to see old friends. Mr. and Mrs. Theron Ehorn entertained the Nafzigers while they were here. Burt and Elvera also called in -several other homes. RICHMOND-BURTON SPORTS By par Ehorn Whip Genoa City To Clinch Title Last Wednesday night under the arcs and in a blinding snow storm at Genoa City, Wis., the R i c h m o n d - B u r t o n C o m m u n i t y high school won their second straight title by defeating Genoa City 31-0. The field was covered with snow, and it snowed throughout the entire game without letting up for one second, and the temperature was twerttyeight degrees at game time. The weather however didn't seen to stop the champions at all, they dug right in and made themselves right at home as soon as they rolled out of the bus thirty minutes ahead of game time. When the team entered the grid iron they couldn't tell where the field was at first, but soon the goal posts became visible, it wasn't long before the field lines began to show up. Genoa City was in favor of cancelling the game, but after considering that this game meant a title for the Richmond team if they should win it, they decided to play it otherwise Capron would have become champs. Everything turned out for the best aa? far as the Richmond Rockets and the Richmond fans were concerned. The snow didn't keep the spectators home though, il was estimated that nearly two hundred local followers made the short trip to see the Richmond team mated that nearly two hundred em Regional Championship. The game was just one minute and twenty seconds old, when Bob Christensen, the Rocket's fleet-footed halfback, took a hand-off from Terry Gunderson Miss Ruth Behrents, who grad- I on the Rocket eight yard line uated from RBCHS with the class of "50, was in Richmond over the weekend, she, too, saw many old friends at the football game. Rut£ had attended the Wisconsin State Teachers' convention in Milwaukee last week. She stayed with Rev. and Mrs. Carlson, but paid a surprise birthday visit to Mrs. Willis Gardner j Saturday evening. There's nothing so heart-warming as a visit with an old friend. DuWayne Sheldon served as a teacher-consultant on "The'problem of the Teacher in the Small School" at the teachers' convention in Milwaukee. Mr. and Mrs. D. I. Granger of Hayward, Wis., visited the Kenneth Grangers for several days. Mr. and Mrs. Granger are Ken- 1 neth Granger's mother and faand scampered all the way to pay dirt with a tremendous seventy-two yard sprint over the snow and mud. The Maroon and White were out in front 6-0. The extra point failed on a, line buck. Six minutes later Christensen went over left tackle from seven yards out to put the Rockets out in front 12-0. This was a sixty yard sustained drive, which started on the Rocket's twenty yard line when Dennis Schmidt recovered a Genoa fumble. The extra point again was no good and the score at the end of the first quarter stdod Richmond 12, Genoa City 0. The only scoring in the second quarter was a pitch out to Bud Jarrett who went around right end for ft seven yard T. D. The extra point for the third straight time failed. The half ended with everybody running for their cars to get a bit of warmth from their car , heaters and both teams fled to their respective school buses. The score was 18-0 at half time. During the first half of play, Bdb Christensen went across the goal line six times, but four of these touchdowns were called back because of down field clipping and one off-side play. It was a hard game to officiate because there was so much sliding and slipping. The Rockets w«frp penalized more yardA in the first half than in any one entire game in the last three years. The third quarter was strictly a razzle-dazzle affair, both teams played very well defensively, but both teams fumbled and lost possession of the ball, each team had a pass intercepted and all this adds up to no scoring in the third quarter. The Richmond team was played entirely by seniors in the third period. The score at the end of the first thirty minutes stood still Richmond 18; Genoa City 0. The fourth quarter got under way with another inch 6t snow and about three inches of mud on the field. By this time, the spectators \vere hogging both side lines to see if Genoa was going to make a comeback, or see if Richmond could hold their conference rivals scoreless, which no other team has been able to do during the season. In the first seven minutes of the fourth quarter there was no evidence of scoring, but af^er Chris i had plowed his way through to\ the one-yard line another clipping play . was called against the Rockets, which made them a bit unhappy. On the thirty-five yargk line, Gunderson faked ia hand-oft to Jarrett and then threw a bulls-eye to Christensen, who took the ball into the end-zone for the touchdown. The extra point was good this time by a line plunge by Rog Shaw, and the score was 25-0. The final scoring of the game was a forty ; yard sprint by Christensen, who again went over right tackle. Hiis concluded the scoring and Richmond was still the Champions of the Southern Regional Football Conference. F^inal score, 31-0. Game (Statistics Rich. O.C.

This was the first game since the capron game that Richmond lost the ball on a fumble and this was due to a snow covered field and the ball was like a piece of ice. Also please note in the statistics that this was the first game all season that the Rockets haven't completed at least fifty per cent of their passes. They made up for this in the interception department, by grabbing four of Genoa's passes. Genoa out gained the Rockets in the air, but on the ground Genoa was held to a plus nine yards. „ Last Week's jResults RICHMOND 31 Genoa (?fty 0 Capron 27 Hebron 38 Sharon 64 Wms.

Besides christensen and Loren Miller, there were Bob Miller, Jim Harris, Terry Gunderson and Roger Shaw, who also broke into the scoring. Another feature of the game was that Bert Naifziger, who was coach here for many years, drove from Bradley, 111., to see his former team win this big game. Bert remarked after the game that the boys really looked sharp and that he wished he had several of them down with him this year at Bradley, where he is assistant football coach and head basketball coach. Mrs. Nafziger -was^ alacr a: -spectator and she commented that the Rockets 'were a very smooth outfit and was very happy that they had such a successful season. We also saw in -t^e large crowd many former Rockets who were home from college. For most of them, it was the first chance they had to see the Rockets in action all year, and after seeing them they all said, "We see now how the Rockets repeated as champions of the Southern Regional."

The Rock- j ets were playing with heads tip 1 and eyes open on all plays and by doing so, they intercepted four Elburn passes and recovered two fumbles. Elburn made more yardage than the Rockets, but that was due to many more chances, because the Richmond team would score on an interception or a punt return or turn a fumble into a TD. Bob Christensen had another good game with his long runs and fine team work and scored five touchdowns. Loren Miller had his best game of the season by scoring three times, once on a punt return for 55 yards, another on a kickoff return of 50 yards and caiight a sixteen yard pass from Gunderson.
