PAGE 4-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, J U N E 2 , 1 9 7 2 Holiday Hills. Bonnie Kellen Marge Conned 385-6344 385-3756 Local Youths Inducted Into Honor Society Every parent hopes that his off-spring will some day grow up to be a successful adult, no matter what career or path of life they follow. On Monday night. May 22, at the West Campus of McHenry high school, the parents of two of our Holiday Hills teen-agers were assured that their hopes and dreams wodld come true as they watched Janet Harper, daughter of Jim and Phyllis Harper and Gary Connell, son of Jack and Marge Connell be inducted into the National Honor Society. This is the highest honor a student can achieve at McHenry high school. The National Honor Society originated in 1922 with fourteen chapters and has grown to 11.000 chapters at the present time. It is divided into four categories. Scholarship, Leadership, Service and Character and a student s eligiblitv is based on his record in school from the day he starts as a freshman.Five percent of the entire Junior class are accepted and fifteen percent of the Seniors. In the scholarship category, they must have a 3.0 average or higher to even qualify for this honor. Leadership is based on their classroom behavior and initiative. Service includes their willingness to help and their attitude; and character is based on their neatness, honesty, trustworthiness and punctuality. The election is faculty voted and then the student is notified of his ad­ mittance into the society. Gold membership pins and cards were presented to Janet and Gary, and Janet being a senior, also received a gold tassle which she will wear on her cap graduation night to distinguish her as a part of this organization. Sincere congratulations are extended to these two teenagers and their families. They are outstanding students, and asset to their community and all of us in Holiday Hills should be extremely proud of them TOWNSHIP MEETING JUNE 6 Of urgent interest to all residents of Holiday Hills, and several surrounding sub­ divisions, is next Tuesday night's meeting of Nunda Township For many, many years, our subdivision has been without governmental help in maintaining our roads - in fact. SCHROEDER METALCRAFT GIFT SHOP Gifts for Home & Garden • Indoor and Outdoor Furniture * Weather Vanes and Name Plates * Mail Box Stands * Unique Gifts for All Occasions 815-385-0950 1713 South Route 31, McHenry, Illinois Open Daily 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday 12 noon to 5:30 p.m. as long as Holiday Hills has been in existence. We now have a chance to 'rectify this situation. We need everybody's support in this effort. We must show our elected officials just how badly we want this road maintenance. Hie meeting will be at 8 p.m. in North School in Crystal Lake. Perhaps if you have a teenager in the family, he or she could volunteer his or her time to babysit for a mother who could not otherwise attend. This could be our youth's part in helping our drive for roads. Ail residents will be receiving a letter from Association president Bob Powell this week to further explain in detail just what this meeting will be about and what our intentions are. Please make every possible effort to be there, and to talk to all your neighbors about coming, too SWIMMING LESSONS TO BEGIN Swimming lessons will be starting next Monday, June 5, at the beach. The lessons are sponsored by the Holiday Hills Women's Club, and are open to any children from Holiday Hills. During the time the lessons are in session, the beach will be closed to all other swimmers and sun bathers. Please take note of this now, so that you are not disappointed when you go there all prepared to swim, and then find that the beach is closed. Pat Lonergan is in charge of the lessons, and you can call her if you wish further information. OUR NEW RAFT Orchids to Craig Stackhouse, and anyone who helped him, for the fine new raft we have at the beach. Many hours of hard work went into the building of this fine raft. With some care from all users of this raft, it should last for several seasons. Speaking of the beach, there are several things to keep in mind. Dogs are not allowed on the beach, for sanitary as well as safety reasons. It seems as if most children ride ther bikes to the beach. Please remind your children to park their bikes by the fence, away from the gate entrance. If you've ever tried to walk through the maze of bicycles lying all which way, especially with several small children in tow, you know how difficult this can be. If you" bring food along, please take your left-overs home, and don't leave garbage lying around on the beach. Especially hazar­ dous are pop bottles. PICNIC AT THE KELLENS The weather was beautiful, and so was the company. Last Sunday, Bonnie and Bob Kellen were entertaining several of Bonnie's high school chums and their families. Marge and Ed Truscke, and their children, Mike and Peter, were here for the day from Ridgefield, Coin. Vicki and Don Gobboney, and their children, Jimmy and Elizabeth, were here from Fraser, Mich., and Becky and Gerry Linnemann. along with John and Ruth came from Wheeling. With eight small children, the day was hectic, but well worth the planning to get everybody together again. Two of the gals hadn't seen each other since the days they were wed seven years ago. For them, the trip back home to Illinois was well worth every penny spent. LITTLE PINK BUNDLE OF JOY After bringing three husky boys, Mr. Stork decided it was finally time to drop a little "pink" bundle of joy into the household of Harold and Betty Hoff of Sunset Drive and little Karen Elizabeth arrived at McHenry hospital on May 12 weighing in at 7 lbs., 5Vfe ozs. The new parents are thrilled beyond words with their first daughter and Karen's three brothers, Calvin, Kenneth and Keith, are all taking turns spoiling her now that she's home from the hospital. Congratulations to all the Hoffs on their new addition to the family.

Following the delicious dinner, many awards were presented and we are happy to announce that Debbie received her initiation pin, her "74" numerals and a basketball pin for being a member of the sophomore team. A program followed entiUed "Remerpber When", more or less reminiscing over the years at McHenry high school which was very entertaining and our congratulations go to Debbie for awards that she earned. ENTERTAINS VARSITY BASEBALL TEAM The Karafa home was overflowing with "boys" Wednesday night, May 24, when Guy Karafa entertained the entire varsity baseball team from McHenry high school following their last conference game. Coach Swanson was also present, and Joyc% served a delicious "lasagne" supper to all of them. MCC VARSITY BASEBALL BANQUET Steak dinner with all the trimmings was the menu served at the McHenry County Junior College varsity baseball banquet which was held on Wednesday night, May 24, at the Crystal Lake Country Club. Following the dinner, James Davis, president of the College gave a welcoming speech. Robert Popovich, head coach of the baseball team, then presented the awards. One of our students, John Connell, Jr., received a beautiful varsity pin for being a member of the baseball team. Highlight of the evening was the presence of guest, Rick Talley, Sports Editor for one of the Chicago papers. Robert Franz, the athletic director, closed the program and it was a very pleasant evening for all the team members. SPRING CAMPOREE Driving to McHenry recently as you looked out into the woodlands, you probably noticed many tents pitched on the hills with the American Flag flying high. The occasion was the Blackhawk Area Council May 1972 Spring Camporee. It all started on Friday night, May 19, and concluded on Sunday morning, May 21, just before noon time. More than 300 scouts participated in this annual event and three of the boys from our subdivision were among them. Mark Jende and Keith Teuber from Troop 260 and Ricky Connell from Troop 162. The boys camped in patrols and earned points for their patrol by participating in the many different events. Some of these were the 40 foot hand­ over-hand rope climb; the Tarzan swing; the Compass test; lighting a match with an ax; and tripod making. Emergency preparedness was also taught as the boys learned what to do if lost in a cave; and were shown edible plants such as cattails, and the white on the bottom of blades of grass. Ribbons were awarded to the patrols with the highest points in the different categories. There was also game time, and a huge bonfire glowing on Saturday night and these boys not only learned something, but had one great weekend. TALENTED MUSICIAN Every summer when you drive through McHenry* on a Thursday night near the city park, echoing through the night air you hear beautiful sounds of music coming from the band shell as the McHenry City Band gives its weekly concerts. This summer, one of our own Holiday Hills residents, will be contributing his musical ability to this fine group. : . John Hale, Jr., is now practicing and this summer will play in the weekly con­ certs. He has played the trumpet for, many years and has become quite an ac­ complished musician. So for a musical treat, take yourself up to the city park when the concerts begin &nd enjoy an evening of beautiful music under the stars. GET WELL WISHES Get-well wishes are being sent to little Billy Bruyn, 22 months old, of Poplar Street this week. Seems little Bill was playing on a swing set and fell, fracturing three bones in his right leg. It's pretty tough for a little guy this age to be in a cast especially in the warm weather and we all hope it won't be too long before he's up and running around again. Cheery get-well wishes are also sent to Midge Teuber of Oak Lane, who is now home recuperating from surgery in Highland Park hospital.w CONFERENCE TRACK MEET Conference track meets are always very thrilling and that's just what it was at McCracken Field on Saturday, May 20, when outstanding athletes from six schools got together. Participating were students from Cary, Parkland, Montini, McHenry Junior High, Hickory Hill and Wauconda, Two Holiday Hills students were chosen by their teachers to be in this event. Tom Lundelius took part in the "running long jump" and Eileen Connell placed fourth in the "softball throw." It was an exciting day for both of them. GIRLSCOUT SKATING PARTY The organ played and the Girl Scouts swayed and it really was a fun afternoon for Troop 478 when they had their skating party at the Just For Fun Roller Rink in McHenry on Saturday, May 27. Some time ago, the girls started taking a ten week skating course at the rink and those who finished this course earned their skating badge. The last requirement was to attend a skating party and this requirement was fulfilled with their attendance at this party. Jackie Carbone, Tillie Williams and Marge Connell chaperoned the group and the scouts who attended were Dale Williams, Chrissy Connell, Kelly Wegener, Paula Carbone, Cindy Rasbaugh, Barbie Grasser, Patricia Goebel, Kris Szamlewski, Noreen DeWitt and Pricilla Kasprzyk. Following the skating party, the girls went to the Carbone home where they played soft- ball, Yatze and had refresh­ ments. BRIDAL SHOWER The Mahon home on Birch Street has been one busy place the past couple of weeks getting ready for the wedding of Mary Ann's brother, Frank Rach- walski, which took place last Saturday, May 27. One of the big events however before the wedding was on Sunday, May 21, when Mary Ann, her mother and Debbie attended a miscellaneous bridal shower honoring their new family member, Judy Ferrick. The shower was given by Barbara Wilson of Woodale who was one of the bridesmaids. Ap­ proximately fifteen ladies were in attendance and punch, open faced sandwiches and cake were served to all. Judy received many lovely gifts which will be a big help in furnishing her new home.

Sometime during the last week vandals destroyed the large canopy over the door at the Lakeland Park com­ munity house. They also broke the lights at the community house. Some windows in homes in the community were also shot out. A lot of these problems could be eliminated by more careful watching of the children. Perhaps it's time to tighten the reins a little bit and know where the kids are. BEACHES CLOSED Because of the unusually warm weather, for May, many people have been using the beaches. There have been some reports of people breaking out from going swimming in the lake. It is not known at this time exactly what caused the rashes. In the interest of public health, the beaches have been closed until further notice. This decision was made by the county health department. This goes for all the public beaches around McCullom Lake. The water will be tested during the week to find out what the problem is. CLEAN UP WEEK Now is the time to get rid of all the junk accumlated during the winter months. The City of McHenry has designated the weeks of June 5 to June 17 as clean-up weeks. For those living on the south side of Route 120 the pick-up will be from June 3 to June 10. For those living on the North side of Route 120, June 12 to June 17 has been set aside. The trucks will not pick up any items that two men cannot handle. Also, they will not pick up garbage. WOMEN'S CLUB VISITS LOOP The weather couldn't have been more perfect last Thursday May 25, for the Lakeland Park Women's Club trip to the Chicago loop. During the bus ride into the city, the ladies enjoyed the chance to chat with their neigh­ bors. Upon arriving, everyone took advantage of the chance to shop at some of the fine stores. All joined forces again at the Home Arts Guild. Luncheon was served featuring samples of many products. There was also a very nice program. The club was shown many in­ teresting ways to serve the products they were introduced to. After lunch there was more time for shopping and sight­ seeing. Also, a chance to see Chicago's famous "Picasso" and view the interesting ar­ chitecture. By the time the bus was ready to leave, everyone was glad for the chance to sit down BIRTHDAYSAND ANNIVERSARIES Happy birthday to John Grether on June 3, Billy Goebel and Wally Karafa on June 4, Donna Kasprzyk on June 5, Patricia Maras on June 6, Sharon Kottke and Nick Adam on June 7, Tim Cornwell on June 8, and Pam Bellon on June 9.
