PLAINDEALER PHOTO Fairy Tale Drama Club Children's Offering Don Gerstein and Nancy Van- Kanegan in a scene from "Sir Slob and the Princess", a chil­ dren's fairy tale to be pre­ sented by the McHenry high School Drama club Jan. 30 and '31. Grandma Sez , readin' an' a rockin', an' kally observin' things, this ol' granny gits a purty good idee, o' how the thinkin' o' a lot o' folks is ashapin' up, these days. A good deal o' the time it strikes me the wrong way, an' then again there seems t' be a progressive form o' mental activity. A body has t' be a- menable in so many ways, t' fit inter the picture, an' some­ times it jist goes agin* the grain. Some folks figure that pro­ gress should take the form o' community expansion. T' a lot o' us folk, that ain't right, es­ pecially when it's fer the ben­ efit o' someone, 'r some or­ ganization t' make a dollar, wi'out thought fer the conse­ quences. Folks git hood winked inter believin' the high pre ssur- in' arguments, an' fall fer it, thinkin' they're a goin' the way o' "Progress". Another thing is, some fplks think they have t' git places, in sich an all-fire hurry that all kinds o' beautiful country is a bein' cut up fer more roads. We're all aware that automo­ biles 're partly responsible fer the pollution problem, an' t' use up good country, suitable fer producin' food fer us all, so we kin have a little left over t' help others, ain't sensible, seems t' me. We're told, after extensive investigation, that half the goods on the shelves, in the guise o' vitamin supplemented food­ stuff, ain't fit fer human con­ sumption, an' so deficient in nourishment as t' deprive our childern the bare essentials fer proper development. I'm a beginnin' t' see why so many little fellers, who come t' help this ol' lady about the yard, git all tuckered out afore they hardly git started. This has been the basis o' me soundin' off, so many times, about moth­ ers stayin' home, t' prepare good meals from "scratch",as me gran'daughter puts it. We used t' be able t' git home furnishin's t' last a lifetime, an' good clothin' an' shoes, that didn't wear out, an' could be handed down t' the next one in line. It used t' be, an' is now in my family, that the younger ones looked forward t' wear in, "Big Sister's, 'r "Brother's" clothes. These days, most childern have learn­ ed that it don't make no mind, if they don't take care o' their clothes, an' Pve been shocked at the response, "Oh, Daddy will buy me some more", when I'd remind a youngun' that he wuz spoilin' his shoes, a walkin' in puddles, an' scuffin' 'em all up. What we need is t' start teachin' the childern HOW t' take care o' their belongin's, an' t' begin t' respect those who pervide 'em. If they aren't taught, they grow up wi'the idee that whatever they want, they git, an' they don't have respect fer anything*. The right seeds o' thought, planted in a young mind, kin reap great harvests o' proper attitude toward ev­ erything in God's world. Waste, it seems, has become the way o' life. Many have be­ come blinded t' what's hap­ pening 'cause the easy , way has become the best way, fer a lot o' good folks, wi'out 'em bein' aware. In my day, we ate what , wuz put before us, 'r I'm afraid we'd not git any- thin'. We learned t' like things, 'cause our folks wouldn't pam­ per us, an' we ate what we need­ ed t' eat, an' not what our taste demanded. We took good care o' our clothes an' learned t' treat the furniture wi' re­ gard, an' cleaned our shoes afore comin' into the house. Now days some folks think it's cruel t' be strict wi' the younguns, an' go on, a lettin' em tear up the house. We're a usin' up the resour­ ces o' this good ol' world pret­ ty fast, seems t' me. Folks, a lot better informed,than this ol' lady, 're becomin' increas- in'ly concerned. Better "Lower the jib," afore we're engulfed in the waves o' "PROGRESS".

A "Sir Slob and the Princess", described as a "slightly frac­ tured fairy tale", will be pre­ sented by the school Drama club in three performances at West campus high school audi­ torium. The first two will be held Saturday, Jan. 30, at 2 and 7:30 p.m., and another at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon, Jan. 31. Tickets will be sold at the door. This primarily children's show tells how a n'er-do-well kitchen scullion wins the hand of the beautiful Princess Rose­ bud, played by Nanci VanKan- egan. The king and queen, Tom Bromin and Ann Wiles, have decided it is time for their daughter to marry. After setting a test which all prospective suitors easily pass, the king puts the problem in the hands of the Wizard, Dave Borcovan. The .result is a test so dif­ ficult nobody wishes to try - nobody, that is, except Slob, played by Don Gerstein. The play continues as Slob ventures forth into the woods with his faithful companion, Nag, the talking horse, played by Sue DeCicco. He encounters many obstacles on his way to the castle but stumbles over all of them to win the hand of the princess. Other members of the cast are Lucy Pulkowski, Jim Phil­ lips, Tom Bockman, Carol Wilt, Lance Lawrenz, Kelly Low, Carol Ann Wirfs, Shirley Jen­ kins, Pat Morrison, Greta Wi­ den, Kathy Kroncke and Sue Dresdow.
