Sirs®: W::W JP*5» Eight Clqse Second (Continued from Page 1) when the city had its centennial celebration in 1936. In talking with a Plaindealer reporter on Wednesday noon, Mr. Doherty said he hopes to see a number of accomplishments during the next four years of McHenry's growth. Top among .these is bringing high grade industry ,to the city and continuing in the field of planning. He cited the problems of annexation and others which will need considerable study in the months ahead. Other Exciting Elections In spite of the great interest in this year's election, the vote was only 137 higher than four yeai;s ago, when Edward Gausden was also a candidate for" mayor. At that time, he received, 478 votes against 788 for George P. Freund, who was returned to office after eight vears as mayor. The previous big contest occurred when Mayor Freund took office in 1949 after serving a number of years as alderman. This .race, reminiscent of the 1961 vote in the closeness of the final tally, found Mr. Freund elected mayor with 439 votes against 406 for Fred Rogers. Levesque Winner The contest at McCullom Lake found: Joseph Levesque ' returned to the office of presi- j dent, a post he has held since j the village was formed. He J polled 226 votes against 109 j for his opponent, John Boyle. | Following are the vote^ with members of the Levesque party being named firsts Village clerk, Emma Pyritz, 214; Lois Parenti, 119; police magistrate, John Fox, 166, Victor Howe, 168; trustees, William Creutz, 182, Frank Klewin, 143, Eugene Shigley, 165, Roger Kinsey, 163, Theresa Schultz, 153, Arthur Stuhlfeier, 182. The close race for police magistrate found Howe being named to office from thev Boyle ticket. Arthur Stuhlfeier, incumbent trustee, was returned to office on that ticket, along with Creutz and Shigley from the Levesque party. Bonder Wins i The decision of Claude Mc- Dermott not to seek re-election at Lakemoor resulted in a vigorous campaign conducted by Richard J. Hyatt, former yillage clerk, of the People's party and John Bonder of the Better Government party. The latter was winner with 188 votes against 157 for Hyatt. Otherwise, the election found winners on both sides. Donald Massheimer on the Hyatt ticket, was a winner with two from the Bonder party for full term trustees. John Sulok was high vote getter for the short term trustee and he will serve with Anna Brzezinski of the other ticket. Following are th-* candidates, with the Hyati ticket listed first: Village clerk, Annette Schmit, 155, Pacita Morrison, 186; full term trustees, Willard Mix. 158, Donald Massheimer, 179, Walter Shappert, 157, James Krein, Jr., 181, Donald Whynot., 165, Martin Tushkowski, 159; village trustee, short term, Harry Carlson. 154, John Sulok, 177, Anna Brzezenski, 175, Lawrence Galion, 155; police magistrate, Herbert Brossman, 163, Harry Brady, 174. Sunnyside Vote Although there was only a tjvo-way race for president of the village of Sunnyside, some offices had three running in opposition. Marvin Muleski was elected president on the Progressive ticket with 70 votes. He was opposed by Armin Von Obstfelder of the Citizen's party with 47 votes. The contest for the top post became evident when William Linden moved from the village a few months ago and it became apparent there would be no incumbent seeking office. The voting at Sunnyside was as follows, listing the Progressive, Citizen's and Independent parties in that order: Village clerk, Irma Gunther, 65, Angela Smith, 31, Mae Casey, 22; police magistrate, Casimer Cios, 75, Phil Mangold, 42; village trustees, ful! term, Joseph Metzger, 81, Edwip Lehman, 68, James Kinder, 40, Gerald N.

The owner had painted the area around the dipstick hole white. This not only makes it easier to replace the dipstick into the hole but you can keep the area cleaner and keep dirt from going down into the oil.

WWPJAtS - FORMS) FOR HIOI SOtOOL Organization Culmination Of Long Planning The McHenry high school P T.A. was formed last Wednesday evening, April 12, at a meeting held m the high school cafeteria. This meeting was the culmination of many years of discussion and planning by members of the McHenry Community P.T.A. It has been felt for some time that a P.T.A. serving only the high school could be niore effective than the high school service committee which has functioned as a part of the McHenry Community P.T.A. Last fall the executive boarr' of the P.T.A. requested that the high school service committee, under the chairmanship of Mrs. Charles R. Peterson, and assisted by Mrs. Edwin Wittrock, co-chairman, take the necessary steps to organize a high school P.T.A. T h e M c H e n r y c o m m u n i t y has been fortunate in having fine schools and excellent teachers, as well as parents interested in furthering the welfare of youth. Due to the growth of the community, the group felt that a high school P.T.A. was necessary to better s e r v e t h e c o m m u n i t y n o t served by the grade school district. With this in mind, the high school service chairman made a study of high school P.T.A. groups throughout the area. The results of this study and research were presented at a steering committee meeting held March 15, 1961. 4 This committee consisted of a representative group of parents, teachers, school administration and school board members. A by-laws committee, consisting of Marvin Martin, Mrs. Harry Hans, Mrs. H. G. Liptrot, Mrs. John Moss, Mrs. Charles R. Peterson and Mrs. Edwin Wittrock was elected at this meeting. Many suggestions pertaining to the by-laws were made by the steering committee and a date was set for the organizational meeting. The organizational meeting was called to order by Mrs. Charles R. Peterson, who explained the reason for the meeting. Mrs. Peterson was then elected temporary chairman. Mrs. Ivan C. Sergenberger, district director of the Illinois P.T.A., spoke of the benefits to be derived from a high school P.T.A. and read the objects of such a group. Carl Buckner, Superintendent of Schools, and Marvin Martin, principal of the high school, gave their reasons for believing that a high school P.T.A. would, be desirable. The by-laws were read by Mrs. Edwin Wittrock and were adopted as amended. Seventyseven charter memberships were received and charier memberships will be accepted until June 1. After election of a sevenmember nominating committee, the meeting was recessed for refreshments, served by the McHenry Community P.T.A. During this time the nominating committee secured a slate of officers. The meeting recon vened and the following officers were elected: President, Mrs. John L. Boehm; vicepresident, Mrs. Bud Hartmann; secretary, Mrs. H. C. Reihansperger; treasurer, Mrs. Chuck Miller.
