LOCAL SCHOOL TAKES PART IN THRILLING, COLORFUL BAND DAY The weather could not have been more perfect for the. Me* Henry high school band to travel to Dyke stadium, Evanston, to participate in the third! anhti&l band day last Saturday. When the flag was unfurled against the brilliant sky, it proved a dazzling sight for the many from McHenry who joined thousands of others to attend. All morning, the yOung folks had been busy in refiedi'sflfl. f>ue to the flu, sixteen of the sixty bands had to cancel their appearance brit • there were forty-four srhools represented from this area ---from as far south as Watseka. Each band had a special spot indicated on the rehearsal and a Northwestern university band member acted as guide for each. It was a real thrill to recognize McHenry's guide as Ron Miller, class of 1957, first trumpet in the U.N. band, a wonderful achievement for a freshman. After about two hours of, rehearsing under John Paynter N.tJ. band director, the young people had time for a period of relaxation, watching the N. U. band: rehearse. _ Never-to-be-forgotten was, the thrilling sight of the N. U. band with their new uniforms, quick stepping with unbelieveable pre- Csision at the average, rate of 226 steps per minute. Then the forty-four high school bands, marched onto the field with school banners flying and the baton twirlers stepping high. Each one of the almost 5,000 young people became a part of a great, harmonious unit, resulting in an unforgettable experience for those watching as well at those palrtidpating. McHenry has every right to be proud of its young people their talent and cooperation. Especially are many thanks due Director Paul Yanda for his constant efforts and interest in behalf of his band members.

Bolger's SL Qreei *fc& an St. IONE McHenry 40 Plani & Flower Guild by. Marie Schaettgen For those who are not familiar with the history and purpose of the Plant Fruit and Flower'Guild, the slogan of the organization tblls the purpose in these words "Share Your Flowers". The national guild w&s started in New York City by Mrs. John Wood Stewart. Her inspiration came after an incident which brought her to the realization that children in poor city sections were starved for flowers. Her vcab was stalled in a Slum area while enroute to a friend's home with some flowefs. The neighborhood "children gathered round her cab and begged , for flowers. Needless to say, the friend got no flowers that day. This was in 1893 and since then the guild and also garden clubs have grOwh to the present organization of hundreds of clubs throughout the country. Until garden clubs were formed by the guild, there were only two clubs in America, both in the east, and practically unknown, (elsewhere. Twenty years after the guild was formed the Garden Club of America came into being. Another ten years saw the be* inning of the State Federations of Garden Clubs. Thus i£ shown the close relationship between the guild and the garden club. "The trees, plant* find flowers have marched around the world seemingly in a desire to minister to man." This quotation is from the mind and pen of the late Dr. John H. Finley, educator, and New York Times editor. The quotation was the opening sentence of a tribute he paid to the members of the National Plant, Flower and Fruit guild. The Chicago branch of the guild is an affiliate of the Garden club Of Illinois.. Its headquarters are located at 25 East Washington street in Chicago. Among garden clubs, the work Of the guild is well known/~ftut not too much of the guild's activities is familiar to the public. It if amazing to find, from its annual report, that so much is accomplished in such an effective but inconspicuOus manner. It was said that "man does not live by bread alone" and, while floWers Or fruits may not be a vital part of life, they add so much to the beauty of the world that they can by no means be dismissed as inconsequential. Again borrowing a quotation from Dr. Finley, it is true*that, "In summer the 'angelii' pf the guild carry flowers from the enchanted gardens and fields, to beguile the hours of the sick and the shut-iri -- to the autumn* they bring7 frufts." In this important task of carrying the flowers, fruits and plants to the city the guild has the cooperation ot most at the Railroads. Special arrangements are made with the railroad to accept flowers, etc., fro specified suburbs on pre-arranged days. The; Chicago guild last year served thirty-eight institutions once a week. Throughout the year they distributed about 228,000 bouquets, about 5,000 glasses of jams and jellies, hundreds of packages of canned goods and boxes of Christmas gifts and plants. The children's ward at the county hospital heads the list of institutions thus served. The sta* tistics of the report do not show the hours of planning, preparing, collecting, '"Imisplanting that go CARD OF THANKS ; into this undertaking. I would like to take this meaiji ^To the Chkjbgo State hospital;of thanking everyone for card£ alone wehtslfe materials for g°°d wishes and other kindnesses twenty-one' ^ardefis, teitided gently during my stay in the hoftpital^ by the patle?ftl* themselves. The woodshop, also at the Chicago Hospital, getting supplies through the effort^, ot the guild, has about thirty men making toys to be distributed, at various children's hosp^ta^. The Christinas season, ikst year found a Christmas tree in' each ward of the U:S. Naval hOfipital at Great Lakes by courtesy of the Guild and Garden clubs. The therapeutic value of this attention, for. children or for adults, is of inestimable value. The Chicago Commons, Hull House and other such organizations- are also oh the list of the guild. ".7/ 7 In M^ienry, the Garden club also has a gui^d chairman, Mrs. George Johnson, Mrs. Johnson informs us that the particular project of the McHenry club is to furnish jellies for the Elgin State hospital and Christmas boxes to the; Old People's home at Hartland. T^e jellies are donated by Garden club members--the boxes art packed by . club mteihbers at thfe Holiday seslson. Thus the McHenry Garden club, too, does its bit toward brightening 'the lives of' those less fortunate. P.T.A.
