I Wednesday, July 3. 1963 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Page Fifteen McCuilom Lake LOCAL TEENAGER, UNDA WATSON, IS FIESTA QUEEN Ere LeveaqM Bringing honors to her family and this village, Miss Linda Watson was every inch the queen as she stepped forward regally to accept the title of Fiesta Queen last week following the judging at the V.F.W. home. With her head held high and shoulders back, the tiniest candidate ever to be so honored couldn't hold back the tears of joy. The young lady who has been honored in all of the area papers will receive much more publicity in the weeks to follow. Miss Watson is the daughter of Mildred and Luther Watson of 5112 East Lane. This is the first time that one of our "localovlies" has captured the title but first runner up was awarded to Lillian Hansen in similar judging some years ago. It was especially thrilling for Linda to win because she is an excellent example of the caliber and comeliness of the many well mannered and attractive teen age girls residing in our fair hamlet. An active participant in the local teen age club (the Griffins), Linda is the youngest and tiniest entrant ever to be awarded the title. And to the best of our knowledge, it is the first time that a young woman ever received this honor on her birthday. Linda turned a very! "sweet sixteen" on June 24, as we printed two columns ago. Another luscious example of the pulchritude residing in the village was candidate Sandi Brennan, the daughter of Dorie and Bill Brennan, who was one of the six finalists. Sixteen year old Miss Brennan, with 9 traffic-stopping figure, chose an orchid strapless nylon chiffon formal trimmed with Chantilly lace for one appearance and her bathing suit was of royal blue with turquoise and white print. Sandi, who will also enter her junior year, at McHenry high when schbol bells ring out, was another of the very young candidates who competed this year. From the appearance of the rest of our teenage young women in the village, the title of Fiesta Queen may stay right here for years to come!!! The Fragrance Is Overwhelming We mean the aroma of orange blossoms which surrounds Nancy Anderson and Ken Loesch as they are caught up in the whirl of preparing for their marriage in August. The formal announcement appears on the society page of the Plaindealer. Nancy is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Anderson of Sunnyside Estates and Ken's parents are Jo and Bob Loesch of Chicago. Ken who is employed in Ringwood makes his home with his maternal grandmother, Mary Kantorski, of W. Parkview. The two handsome young people announced their intentions to both sets of parents recently^ and plan to "plight their troth" on Aug. 31, at St. Patrick's church. It will be a double Ijing ceremony during a nuptial Mass. The evening reception will be held at the American Legion home. Ed Caron will serve as best man. Both young people who were raised in the city have developed a yen for the wide open spaces, (doesn't everyone?) plan to make their home within this incorporated area. Nancy is a graduate of McHenry high, class of '62, McHenry. Ken's alma mater is Kelvyn Park high. He is employed near by, and is also on the reserve list of our police officers. We offer them our heartiest best wishes as they make their plans for a«life together. Nuptials Announced Dick Osterby surprised his parents last Wednesday a.m. with a phone call from Alaska with the happy news that he and Nadine Baxter would marry on Friday, June 28. They will continue to make their home in the 49th state. As you may remember, Dick has been living there for the past 3% years. We shall be forced to wait until the new Mrs. Osterby writes to Elsie and Ray giving the details. The senior Osterbys offered their congratulations over the phone and we know how much they would have loved to attend. Dick receives the Plaindealer and we would like to offer our best wishes to him and his new bride. Notes From The Village Board W. Jollie of Baxter and Woodman, village engineers, appeared before the president and trustees at the last council meeting Monday, June 24. Necessary documents were presented to the state. This is just another one of the many steps which must be taken before the project can be brought before our residents. Road commissioner Art Stuhlfeier reported on road oiling, sanding, and patching. Recommendations for maximum security of the beach were also discussed. This is being carried out with cooperation of the Cullom-Knoll association. The next meeting will be held on Monday, July 8, at 8 p.m. in the beachhouse. These sessions are open to the public. Hospital Patients Afflictions have struck several of our residents recently causing them to be hospitalized. A patient in McHenry Hospital, it was reported that Mrs. Herman Langerbeck underwent surgery Thursday morning. Ed Doran was scheduled to enter Hines Veteran hospital in Maywood Friday morning for his arm which has plagued him since he broke it some time ago. Another person who was admitted to McHenry hospital last Tuesday is Mrs. Alice Bailey. She was transported by ambulance at 2 a.m. It would be so comforting to all of these people to be remembered with cherry messages. How about it? Faces Long Convalescence Following critical surgery, and 17 days in the hospital, Mrs. Edith Brendle returned home last Tuesday morning with a long time to go for complete recovery. Her voice sounded very weak on the phone but with her tenacity, she should be doing fairly well shortly. Official Results Of Water Test A letter received from Elmer Jensen, plant superintendent of McHenry's sewage treating plant, describes the official results of the test made of our lake water. His findings were verified and okayed by the State Water Board, Aurora. The tests indicate suspended solids -- 10 p.p.m., total solids -- 20 p.p.m., volatile solids--10 p.p.m., dissolved oxygen--7.5 mg-L, (June 18) dissolved oxygen-- 8.4 mg-L, (June 21), biochemical oxygen demand (5 days)--5.2 mg-I. This indicates no pollution and no fish kill. Family Reunion For The "4th" About fifty adults and children will gather in Bemis Woods Thursday, when Irene and Leo Sales gather for a reunion of her family. Irene's brother and wife, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. McNamee of New Orleans, have been visiting with the Sales' since Saturday. They motored up from that southern city and will answer "present" when the roll is called on the Fourth. Another sister and family, Mr. and Mrs. William A. Lortie of Chicago, will also attend. There will be plenty of room to romp in for the families of Bob, Jack and Jim Sales and Caroline and Chick will be on hand to greet all the aunts and uncles. Around The Lakes And Canada A grand trip for the Piotrowskis-- Lottie, Gene, and Delores, ended last Friday. Other passengers included Lottie's sister and daughter, Genevieve Sulkowski and Rosemary. The five motored around the Great Lakes and into Canada on their week's journey. One of their most enjoyable sights was the visit to Mackinac Island. We should have more to report after an interview with them. The Welcome Mat Was Out For Katherine and Runnar (Stub) Alto (one A) last week when they visited with Ginny and Ray Aalto (two A's). Ask Ray for details on the two different spellings,! "Kute Kiddie Kwote" A classical quotation was forthcoming from Gladie and Merv Schmitt's four year old Diane during the violent storm (and welcome rain) we experienced Thursday. While the hail was bouncing, she piped up with "Guess what, mommy, it's raining pop corn!" Cullom-Knoll Meets Sunday A great deal of planning and preparation is necessary for a successful summer festival on Aug 3, and you can help by attending the Cullom-Knoll meeting Sunday, July 7. It will commence at 3 p.m. in the beachhouse. Natal "Daze" Lorraine Blom and Jim Carroll (Sr.) will be in line for natal day greetings tomorrow, July 3....A very happy birthday to Rosalie Josserand as of July 5.
