/ January, 1972 SECTION 1-PAGE 5-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESTiAY. JAN. 5,-1972 HOLD OPEN HOUSE - At MCC's open house for former students, Mrs. Darlene Hoffman, Director of Developmental Services, offers refreshments to two graduates, Jean Gende, of McHenry, now attending Sangamom State university, Springfield, and Richard Phannenstill, also from McHenry, currently a student at the University of Northern Colorado. The Office of Student Ser­ vices, McHenry County college, held an open house for alumni Dec. 28. The purpose of the open house was to talk with graduates and former students concerning their educational progress after leading MCC. After attending MCC, these students said they felt better prepared to cope with the transition from a small college to a large university. They said they liked the smaller classes at MCC and that they thought the college compares favorably with senior institutions in the quality of education received. The former students ex­ pressed appreciation for the personal attention given at MCC, where the help received from counselors and in­ structors in academic and personal guidance assisted them in planning for the future. $Iost of the former students have gone on to four-year colleges and universities in various parts of the U.S. Interest was shown in a wide variety of subjects, and students are now majoring in TEENS 'N WOMENS ORNAMENTED LOAFERS HEAD FOR A COOL, CASUAL FALL...

(Its first-month designation derives from the church, which in 487 set aside January 1st as a religious festival com­ memorating the circumcision of Jesus.) Historically, there have been many dates recognized as the begin ling of the year. The ancient Egyptians began the year Septemlx-r 21st, the Greeks June 21st, etc. January is the first fiill month of winter, sometimes the coldest yhonthof theyear(if February isn't) and, in America, the month of football bowl games. The 1st is New Year's Day and also Emancipation Day--dating from 1863. (Lincoln didn't actually set free slaves in Union states on that day but the slaves in Confederate states, where his proclama­ tions often had little effect.)

The 7th is also the birthday an- niversary of the nation's 13th President, Millard Fillmore, born at L.ocke, New York, in 1800. Fillmore sought ardently ( a s P r e s i d e n t , 1 8 4 9 - 5 2 ) t o a v e r t t h e C i v i l W a r , o p p o s e d Lincoln and supported General George McClellan for Presi­ dent in 1864. The 8th is Jackson Dav in Louisiana, in memory of Andrew Jackson, who commanded the Americans forces which won a victory over the British at New Orleans (after peace had been signed, unknown to the warriors) in 1815. The victory made Jackson a national hem and he later be­ came President. \ County Sheriff To Use Tracking Dogs McHenry ( ounty Sher i f f , Ar t Tyrre l l , has announced his in tent ion to employ the services of t ra ined t racking dogs in fu ture searches for los t or miss ing persons The abi l i ty of a t racking dog to locate a person l>\ fo l lowing the t ra i l of the i r scent i s a wel l known phenomena.
