Just a glance through some of the issues of the iPlaindealer gives one an ide$i of. how McHenry has grow^i. In 1936, fourty- two high school. students and twenty grade school pupils wfero graduated in June. The number of graduates in the county was 393, with Crystal Lake leading with 84. In McHenry Herb Reihansperger and Barry* 'Taxman were the grade school honor students that year. In 1936, the mail route on the river was" started, with Will Schaefer as the navigating mailman. - Some of the old-timers who by that time had been in business in McHenry for about 50 years were Jacob and Nick Justen, Simon Stoffel, Joseph Henry trains daily or when bob sleighs and cutters with horses and bells were the only vehicles seen on our streets in winter.?" The Plaindealer dedicated its sixtieth anniversary issue toj reminiscing about past events and prominent pioneers in the vicinity. Webelieve that McHenry county in general and the town of'McHenry in particular, have exceeded the most optimistic expectations of twenty-five years ago. It has grown not only in size and population but also in educational facilities, cultural opportunities, and business acumen. . be pleased friends. to hear from Stanley Party Mrs. Pete Sebastian entertained ! trip through the East. at a demonstration party at her home.

Jane Werden, University of Illinois textiles and clothing instructor, says that each college campus has its own variations in dress. For this reason she advises students to wait and buy some of their clothing after seeing the campus styles. However, Miss Werden gives these general wardrobe suggestions to fit the fashions on any campus. Even fall days are often warm, so cotton dresses or skirts and blouses are recommended for the first college days. Of course, skirts and sweaters are synonomous with classroom attire, although styles change somewhat each year. Students agree that cashmere sweaters are attractive but NOT necessary. It's the over-all appearance that counts, not -the kind of clothes that are worn. College girls say that" six sweaters are a good number to have, but they can get along with four. When there's any doubt, a basic suit ;will usually answer the "what-to-wear" question. It can be dressed up or down and is equally appropriate .for church, dates, fielcf trips arid many' other occasions; - / A semi dressy dress, perhaps a woo! jersey, which is a' good traveler and is easy to care for» goes well to church or dinners. Students advise about-tcbefreshmen to buy evening dresses after they get on campus because these styles vary too; And the chances are that the new student will have at least one high school formal she can bring with her. A raincoat is more of a" must on some campuses than on Others. But it's always a good article for ;any college wardrobe, because buildings are often -far apart and students must walk in all kinds of weather. At least one hat should go to college. Teas and other social functions call for hats. Comfortable and broken- in shoes should arrive on campus with the freshman. .Most campuses are large and call for more walking than girls are usually accustnrnpd to, so new shoes are a hindrance. Two pairs of school shoes are recommended for alternate wear, but it might be a good idea to but the second pair in the college town because college customs affect shoes too. For example, white bucks are almost the unanimous choice on some campuses, but they are seldom seen bri others. Flats are vitern on. dates in some places, wfcjile heels : are idmost a must 1 in 'others.'" " '*•' •Some type of robe and slippiers are necessary for dormitory life. These items and the kind of, pajamas will depend on slee^mg conditions; In some sorority houses, girls sleep on sleeping porches and need warm pajamas, bed socks and wool robes. On the other hand many dormitories are so well heated that lightweight pajamas and robe . are satisfactory. But WHAT campus will, "largely determine WHAT clothes to wear, so Miss Werden advikes girls not to buy all their •clatnes before going to school.

Insect bites and stings, besides causing swelling and pain, can become infected through scratching, warns the Institute for Safer Living. Always remove the "sting" if it is still present. A paste prepared by, mixing baking soda and cold-cream or a compress dampened with water of ammonia provides relief. Cold applications will also ease the pain. For the itching of mosquito and chigger bites, calamine lotion is beneficial. videre, M,r, and Mrs. Harold Acker- day. man, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ackerman and Mr. and Mrs. Samuelson.
