Receiving the trophy for the Senior class is Wally Conrad, the outstanding player. Fred Kusch, at left, the overall super­ visor, presented the trophy as Senior class president Shirley Jenkins looks on. The 48 hour marathon drew an attendance of 3,500 as they watched the Seniors tally 3,317 points to the Juniors 2,867. Third place went to the Sophomore class and the Freshmen were fourth. PLAINDEALER PHOTO EARL WALSH I Hear SPORTS EDITORJ Roll out the barrel and get the corned beef and cabbage cookin'. St. Patrick's Day is a- comin". A while ago a fellow asked, "Are you Irish?" We explained that our father came from Ireland and our mother's parents also came from the ould sod. Very seriously, he com­ mented, "Then you must be Irish." Must have been putting us on. When St. Patrick's Day dawned at our home, there was something different in the air. Our father sang "The hat me fa-a-ther wore" before any of us were out of bed. If there was a party on that important date our mother could dance an Irish jig with the best uv 'em. we once knew a brawny- Irishman who came here from the "Ould Counthry" and told wild tales about the fairies in Ireland. And he could lick any three men who doubted his word. man of the cloth!" In a few minutes, along comes a Rabbi and in he goes through the swinging doors. That brought more com­ ments about the clergy going into a saloon. Next comes a priest and he enters through that same door. Pat straightened up, leaned on his shovel and said, "Mike, there must be someone awfully sick in there". DID YOU?-- Did you ever look through the obituary column (sometimes referred to as the Irish sports page) and feel let down because you didn't recognize any names? Did you ever dash to a fire and feel disappointed that the blaze was down when you got there" Did you ever count the number of times a clock strikes to be sure it is right? Did you ever fall down--then look around to see if anybody was watching? Didja, now" We like to slip a little joke in here once in a while. Some are old But, would you believe, we hear jokes on TV that we told at various events 35 to 40 years ago. PAT AND MIKE - Those two famous Irishmen, Pat and Mike, were digging outside a saloon one day when along comes a minister and walks into the place. Savs Pat, "Think of it --a St. Patrick's Day Wednesday March 17 • Irish Chicken Stew • Corned Beef & Cabbage • Gordon Fossum At The Organ • Party Favors SNUG HARBOR BOAT CLUB N. River Road 385-2671 If you aren't Irish, just pretend for a day and be gay on St. Patrick's Day. Lenora Frisby gave us this one a long time ago: Pat and Mike died and, having lived slightly different lives, were assigned different places, one going "up" and the other "down." Later, they were permitted to speak to each other. "How is it down there, Mike, you poor divil?" asked Pat. "Foine", said Mike, "we only have to shovel coal two hours a day. How is it up in Hivvin?" "Begorra," said Pat, "we have to work 18 hours a day up here." "How d'ya account for that?" asked Mike. "Shortage of help!!" said Pat. Faculty Basketball Teams Meet Tonight Tip off time for tonight's Varsity-Faculty basketball game will be 7:30 p.m. at the McHenry high school West campus gym.

School board members and school administrators will be present at the game and will be available after the game and during half-time to answer any questions concerning the March 20 referendum. We wind it up with the following, which was brought to us by Grace Meyer from Anna Frisby. Thanks, Anna, it is truly a choice contribution: ST. PATRICK'S BIRTHDAY '"Twas the eighth day of March, so some people say, St. Patrick at midnight, he first saw the day! While others contend 'twas the ninth he was born, An' 'twas all a mistake between midnight and morn. But mistakes will occur in a hurry and shock, And some blamed the baby and some blamed the clock, So that with all the talk there was, no one could know If the child was too fast or the clock was too slow! "Now the first faction fight in ould Ireland, they say, Was all on account of St. Patrick's birthday. Some fought for the eighth, for the ninth more would die; And who wouldn't see right, why, they blackened his eye. "At last each faction so positive grew That each kept a birthday, and Patrick had two! Until good Father Mulcahy, who showed them their sins, Said no one could have two birthdays, but twins! Said he: Bhoys, don't be fightin' fur eight or fur nine; Don't be always dividin', but sometimes combine. Unite eight and nine -- seventeen is the mark, Let that be his birthday.' Amen,' said the dark. " 'If he wasn't a twin, sure his histhory will show That he's worth at least any two saints that we know,' Then they all 'tuk a dhrop,' which completed their bliss; And they keep up the practice from that day to this." by Bill Blankenhorn The freshman basketball team ended their season last week by capturing the Barrington Invitational Tournament - Championship. The young Warriors defeated Liberty ville 60-54 in the opening round, Crystal Lake 52-50 in the semi-finals and beat North Chicago 62-61 for the cham­ pionship. The three victories gave the freshman a 19 and 2 final season record. Each game was a thriller for the Warriors as they demon­ strated championship poise throughout the tournament. Time and again they found themselves on the brink of defeat, but each time they were able to rise to the occasion and thwart their opponents in the true form needed to win a championship. It was truly a team victory for McHenry as they had balanced scoring, fine defense and timely rebounding. Ben Himpleman was the Warrior leading scorer with 47 points for three games with Roger Wanta adding 36 points. Ed Choate led the rebounding with a total of 30.

ALEX IN WONDERLAND "Alex in Wonderland" is a movie about moviemakers. This i s c e r t a i n l y a n e w t w i s t i n movie themes. Several of the characters are playing them­ selves. Paul Mazursky directs the movie which he and Larry Tucker wrote. This movie is about a 36- year-old director named Alex who has directed a very suc­ cessful movie and is seeking just the right story for his next attempt. Ideas for one film story after another are •suggested and discussed but none seem to be the "hit" the director is seeking. During this time, a very understanding and patient wife, as well as two daughters, go through a period of trial and misunderstanding. In the film itself, Mazursky and Tucker have several funny episodes while confining their efforts on near disasters in conventional, everyday family situations. And, other than these few instances, there's little offered in the way of entertainment in a movie about moviemakers. However, this film is rated "R" with persons under 17 requiring parent or guardian. The everyday snail, -- without an internal skeleton and prac­ tically all muscle,--can pull 200 times his own weight.
