GIRL SCOUT TROOP 320 No meeting was held last week during Easter vacation but the troop took advantage of the free time for several excursions. Tuesday our troop went to the post office. We learned and saw many things. We learned why a zip code is important, why you should wrap your parcels neatly and securely, how they separate the mail, why you should have a neighbor take your mail when you are away instead of the post office, and much more. We left at 10:30 a.m. and returned at 11:45. The girls enjoyed it very much. Saturday, April 20, patrols 2 and 4 went on a hike to Veteran's Acres in Crystal Lake. The hike was for Gypsy or Foot Traveler badges. Mr. and Mrs. Kamp went with the girls. We met at the community house where the girls loaded their things into Mr. Kamps car. We got into the cars and Mrs. Kamp and Mrs. Beno took us three miles from the community house. Then Mrs. Kamp and the girls took their canteens and started walking. We walked five miles, observing land points, walking, walking and sweating. We finally got there and started the fire for lunch. The girls had hamburgers or hot dogs, potato chips, carrot and celery sticks and kool-aid. After eating, Mrs. Beno came and warned us about the weather so we cleaned up, piled into the cars and went home. The girls had so much fun that they hope to go on another hike soon. BROWNIE TROOP 464 We had our last meeting on the Tuesday before Easter. We made Easter bonnets with paper plates and paper flowers. Susie Wickankamp was the hostess and served Easter egg cupcakes.

Thirty kids and fifteen adults showed up for the excitement and imbibed in cupcakes and pop or coffee. Thirteen Cub Scouts participated in the derby and prizes were awarded to John Bierman and Michael Mai for the most original kites. John Meurer won. a prize for getting his kite up first and Michael Mai won another prize for getting his up the highest. They all had a grand time.

LITTLE LEAGUE Twenty-one eight year old boys showed up for try-outs last Saturday in spite of the foul weather.

STROLLING THROUGH THE PARK It was just like old home week last week when the Matthews family flew in from Maryland and spent Easter vacation visiting friends and relatives. After spending the first part of the week in Chicago they arrived on Wednesday justintime for Jessie to attend Women's club luncheon with a big group of gals with coffee served later at Shirley George's home. Catching up on a couple of months gabbing were Bev Wickenkamp, Joanne Mai, Evelyn Osmon, Carole Humann, Barbara Meurer, Shirley George and Dolores Rogers. A party was held at the Meurer home on Friday night to celebrate the Matthews anniversary, Helping to make it a festive occasion were Clare and Eleanor Haerle, Lee and Jo Mai, Shirley and Marv George, Jerry and Dolores Rogers, Bev and Jim Wickenkamp and Bob and Ann Scanlon of Arlington Heights who .were old school buddies and Ron and Barb and Bob and Jessie. Could be that they will need a long rest after this vacation. We would like to wish a happy birthday slightly late to Joe Geneser who celebrated on Sunday, April 21. He is also retiring after 32 years with his company on Thursday of this week. Joe and his wife, Gladys bought the Jones home cm Sunset Avenue several months ago and we hope they enjoy retirement in our community. A belated welcome is added to the birthday wishes. Young Andrew Rogers was baptized on Sunday, April^l, at St. Patrick's church in an impressive ceremony conducted by Father Michael Tierney. His Godparents were Arlene Bartos and Bud Uttich. After the ceremony a dinner was served to the guests who included Dr. and Mrs. Figueroa, his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John Lohse and family, the Bartos family and the Uttich family. They were joined later by the Meurer s who toasted the new baby's christening. Kathy Campo was a very surprised young lady last week on Thursday when she returned from the golf course with her dad. After she was in the house for a while kids started popping up all over the place and birthday party was the name of the game. She was eleven on April 18. Helping out with the big hoax were Kathy Simon, Maureen Mc Cor mack, Mary Beth Humann, Cynthia Doherty, Shirley Meurer, Margaret Kroening, Doreen Miller, Kim Ludwig and Kathy's cousin, Terri Lang. They had a supper of hot dogs, potato chips, and pop and then played games outdoors. After cake and ice cream they watched some TV and then everyone went home. She won't forget that party for a while. Helen Strandquist entertained her granddaughter, Linda, who came from Ramsey, N.J., to spend Easter with her. Her fiance, Douglas Emeix, who has just returned from Vietnam accompanied her and they were joined by her sister, Susan, and Grandfather Moore who came from Wheaton to share Easter dinner with them. Doug serves on the USS Belknap which recently returned to Norfolk and after a visit with his parents will be returning to duty. TTiey are planning a fall wedding. Elaine Bottari was the hostess for a birthday p.j. party held last April 17 to mark her thirteenth birthday. Helping her to ring in the momentous occasion were Lynn Cygan, Candy Merkel, Celeste Doherty, Kim Freres, Debbie Burke and Debbie Landre. After a supper of sloppy joes and cake and ice cream they settled down to stay awake the rest of the night which they managed to do until 4:30. Oh to be young again! Ray Barle has been stationed at Chanute Field at Rantoul and was able to get a weekend pass to come home for a few days. His mom and Bill Krater drove down to pick him up and brought him back to a birthday party in honor of his nineteenth birthday given by his sister, Marion Winkowski. On Sunday they drove into Chicago to visit his grandmother and then went on to Rantoul. He is attending jet engine school at the base as a party of the Aerospace program. Marv George and Lee Mai were happy fellows when their bowling team took first honors in the Thursday night league. They bowl with HerbRothering, Allen McKim and Fred Matthesius. Mark Bartos was a member of the cast for the production of "South Pacific" put on at Marian Central last weekend. He had the second lead part as Lt. Joe Cable in the musical. From all reports he did a superb job (and I didn't hear that from his mom either!) Gerry Wagner was sporting a fresh orchid lei from Hawaii for her Easter corsage and boy, there's nothing like a few dozen orchids to tone up the refrigerator. Even Monday morning can be a joy when something like that snuggles up to the bacon and eggs. Daughter, Sharon, came through in good style as usual. A great big welcome home to Buddy and Cindy Druml and their new baby, Edward M., HI. They returned home in time to spend Easter with the folks and are staying with Kay and Ed for a while. Cindy is a Florida gal and we sure hope she likes us around here, but in any case we extend a big welcome to her. Donna and Dave and the kids are safely, settled in Hawaii where Dave has been transferred for the next three years and what a way to go!
