Remains In West Following the death of his wife in 1929, he made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Edwina . Whitton, and family, whose' home in recent years has been j in Berkeley, Calif. He had one other daughter, Mrs. Genevieve Chamberlain. Among his greatgrandchildren is Owen Chamberlain, Nobel prize winning University of California professor of physics. "Uncle Ed" remained not only physically well but also mentally alert throughout his long life. He was an enthusiastic bridge player and greatly enjoyed entertaining his friends. On his 100th birthday he celebrated at an all afternoon arid evening reception at which he greeted personally 120 guests.

Only a few will remember the store owned by his father, Edwin M. Owen, which stood for a number of years on the property between Gladstone's store and Mi Place on Green street. There, Mr. Owen, Sr., conducted the general store and implement shop so familiar to the early days. After moving to California in the early 1890's young Edwin went into the real estate business, in which he was engaged most of his life. He remained in good health until about ten days before death, when he suffered a fall. Until that time, he engaged daily in card games with family and friends, and maintained a keen interest in the world about him. -<• Those who knew Edwin, Owen best described him as an affable man who made friends wherever he went. He was the older brother of the la+p Charles S. Owen and an uncle of Harold "Pat" Owen, who still resides here. Another homecoming becomes history, and from almost every standpoint it was marked by success. Unusually beautiful weather probably did more than any other one thing to provide pleasant memories which will long remain with those participating. A Warrior victory came after one of the school's best parades, followed Saturday evening by a dance for which the moon shone brightly on the large group of young couples. As we look back on the tremendous amount of work involved with this homecoming we remember some of those who devoted much time and energy with little thought to recognition. We recall, especially, the ever smiling George Haasl, in charge of Student C o u n c i l a r r a n g e m e n t s , w h o maintained good humor in spite of the numerous duties which fell to him; also the school band and its director, John Leighty, who braved many chilly days for weeks in advance of homecoming in preparation for their special entertainment on the field that night. We also think a few words of commendation should go to the cheerleaders, to faculty and P.T.A. members who supervised the young folks in construction of the floats. These are only a few of the many who no doubt had a part in making this important da> so successful. Republican Candidate For McHENRY COUNTY AUDITOR C Li.

A bright moon shone on the many couples as they entered an attractively decorated gymnasium for the homecoming dance Saturday night. The most important moment came at 11 o'clock when John Hickey and Val Peterson, 1963 rulers, crowned the new king and queen, Dick Bitterman and Jeannie Jo Benoche. Meanwhile, graduates of other years gathered in the cafeteria, where they enjoyed several hours in recalling their own school days.

First to discover the damage was Margaret O'Neil, and the others followed. All of those on whom damage was inflicted are active in Republican politics and speculation began as to the identity of the culprits. With two weeks until the national election, those attending the meeting felt that this was not merely a pre-Halloween prank. Officers Hummel and Bolster had been keeping the church under surveillance as they do for all large gatherings, but they had a large area to patrol and were unable to apprehend the vandals. When the church window was smashed, the Rev. Ernest C. Carder, pastor of the church, expressed his deep regret for the offenses and stayed until repairs had been completed on the last vehicle at midnight. Chairman Levesque offered a plea that no retaliatory measures be taken. Bfty t! GIRL SCOUT uniform, size 8 or 10.
