# ' 1 PAGE 2-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2?, 1972 Wfflm . Famous Archaeologist Is Latest Fine Arts Guest ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED - Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lundy, Jr., of 2805 Beach View, McHenry, announce the engagement of their daughter, Sandra Jean, to Donald Lasco, son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Lasco of rural Antioch. Sandy is a 1970 graduate of McHenry high school and is the Secretary to the president of a local corporation. Don served 3 years in the U.S. Army in both Vietnam and Germany and is a recent graduate of Kenosha Technical institute. He is now employed with a Libertyville firm as an accountant. The couple has set Aug. 11 as their wedding date. The oldest findings are also the newest when one is digging through layer upon layer of soil seeking clues to the who-when- how-and-why of prehistoric life in Illinois. It is to discuss this endeavor and bring the public up to date on the latest findings from the "Koster" dig, that Stuart Streuver will be returning to McHenry county Jan. 18. Under the auspices of the Woodstock Fine Arts association, Dr. Streuver will meet with and address an adult audience in the Woodstock Opera house at 10 a.m. and a student audience at 2 p.m. Dr. Streuver's ar­ chaeological excavations are attracting world-wide attention not only because of the quality of the Koster site (which is considered to be "one of the important sites...discovered in North America in the past quarter-century"), but also because of his innovative ap­ proach to archaelology. The team working with him in the "field laboratory" is composed of botanists, zoologists, osteologists, and other scien­ tists working with ar­ chaeologists and archaeology students to analyze and categorize the human and animal remains and artifacts, plant and pollen remains, successive layers of differing soils, and other buried clues. His innovation is in the in­ tegration of all the sciences which can give meaning to the archaeological discoveries. This approach means that, rather than just showing bits of bone and pottery, Dr. Streuver can share larger insights into the lives, migrations, changes, purposes and adjustments to environment of primitive people living in Illinois as long ago as 8,000 B.C. The unique feature of the Koster site, its stratification into distinct layers of inhabited soil, then alluvial soil which covered and preserved them, has allowed Dr. Streuver and his associates to isolate migrations of prehistoric peoples separated A€1 MR. AND MRS. TIMOTHY J. MARTIN MARRIED - Christ the King Catholic church, Wonder Lake, was the setting for the Saturday, Nov. 25, wedding of Susan Lee Dusthimer and Timothy J. Martin. Susan is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Dusthimer of 2708 E. Parkwood drive, Wonder Lake, and her bridegroom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Martin of 3708 Young street, McHenry. Both young people attended Eastern Illinois university. The bridegroom graduated in August of this year and the bride will be graduated in February, 1973. She is now student teaching in Mattoon and her husband is employed as assistant manager of sales and distribution for Trailmobile. The newlyweds are making their home in Lerna, 111. VISIT IN FLORIDA Nine-year-old Kelly Justen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Butch Justen of 1913 N. Lakewood, McHenry, „ enjoyed her Christmas vacation from school by traveling to Fort Lauderdale, Fla , with her grandmother, Mrs. Mary Lawrence, of Millstream drive, McHenry. While in Florida, the two travelers stayed with Kelly's aunt, Mrs. Susan Knight. D0RKIES 4213 W. Rte. 120 McHenry Ph. 385-6981 * Made fresh from the finest ingredients * Serving Thursday thru Sunday 5pm to 12am WE DELIVER Life, for little people, is a struggle to secure power. from each other by thousands of years, and to observe the changes in population, culture, settlement patterns, and en­ vironmental vicissitudes during 7,000 years of in­ termittent habitation. ' This very old excavation is making very big news to everyone interested in the history of mankind. Dr. Streuver, himself a native of Illinois, is helping to piece together the struggles of early man, coming to grips with his environment and his human potential. To hear Dr. Streuver speak of his project in person, tickets may be obtained at the Opera House box office bet­ ween 9 and 10 a.m., Thursday, Jan. 18. Grandma Sez • • • Friendship Club To Open Year Jan. 13 The next meeting of the Friendship club will be Saturday, Jan. 13 at 6 p.m., in the dining room of the First United Methodist church. Hosts and hostesses will be Marie and Albert Mullere, Mildred and Van Kennedy and Bertha and Elmer Stange. Ann and John Demke will be in charge of the program for the evening. Although the weather was poor, the attendance at the December pot-luck dinner and meeting far exceeded ex­ pectations and a wonderful time was enjoyed. One of the important matters on the agenda for the evening was the report from the Nominating committee, and the election of officers for 1973. John Demke, chairman of the committee, read the slate of nominees, and all were unanimously reelected. The officers will be president, Leonard McCracken; vice- president, Elmer Stage and secretary-treasurer, Lyda Radisch. . Many beautifully wrapped "birthday gifts" were brought for Valley-Hi Nursing home. For those who could not attend, gifts can be brought to the January meeting and they will be delivered to Valley-Hi promptly. Esther Sims' Meditations-- exerpts from "The Greatest Stories Ever Told"--were timely, interesting, and in­ spirational Reports were given that Lilah Jordan is now recuperating at home and doing nicely; Frances Vycital is recuperating in Florida; Harry Lundy is home from the hospital and getting along well. Einar Olsen remains ill. Daisy Jones was in charge of the program for the evening. After the group sang Christmas songs, a fast and exciting game of Password was played. Happy New Year, T One An' All!! As I wuz a sittin' here, a rockin' an' enjoyin' the Christmas remnants o' a happy holiday, it came t' me mind that the best I c'n give is hope an' wishes fer a bright an' joyful year ahead. So many tragedies ha' clouded the festive season, all o'er the world, the best we c'n do is t' try and' make the best o' the sitiation, an' put the shoulder to the wheel, an' try t' rescue what's left o' happiness fer us all. Time has a way o' healin' the wounds, which tragedy leaves b'hind, an' all that's left 're the sweet memories o' what was the past. But one door closes, an' another opens, seems t' me, durin' our stay on earth. It's up t' us how we use the op­ portunities opened to us, through each new door o' life, which we pass through. The state o' one's mind, at­ titude toward life, makin' love the mo6t important ingredient in one's contact wi' fellermen, an' most o' all toward oneself. Wi'out a proper love fer oneself, there jist can't be a healthy love fer others. Respect fer oneself begets respect fer others, as human bein's needin' one another. So', this ol' lady, old- fashioned, simple in mode o' livin', lovin' humanity wi' all its faults, says a prayer fer us all, that there'll come a time, not too far off, when the phrase, "Happy New Year," won't seem brash an' out o' place. A prayer fer the time when all the world '11 be at peace, an' mankind '11 know afore it's too late, what it's like t' waken in the mornin' wi'out the weight o' the troubles this ol' world 's known. So, wi' hope in the heart, join the prayer, an' who knows, the power o' thought may ac­ complish the feat, o' turnin' the trick. Happy New Year, t' one an' all.

The 4-H Federation mem­ bers, whose chairwoman is Nancy Kopsell from Huntley, had long planned to share the season's joy singing Christmas carols. Apprximately fifty people at the Woodstock Residence gathered in the recreation roorti to hear 4-H'ers sing "Joy to the World," "O Little Town of Bethlehem," "Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly," "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," and others. The residents commented, "It was fun", "How much we enjoyed it," "Sing more songs", and "Why do you have to go so soon?" At the hospital, caroling 4- H'ers were greeted by sur­ prised smiling patients as they walked through the halls. The main response from patients was "Merrry Christmas," and "Who are you?" About four cars of 4-H members felt they were then in good practice to continue on to the Woodstock Square and sing a few carols. Finally, they returned to the Farm Bureau auditorium to enjoy hot chocolate and cup­ cakes brought by the Humming Sewers 4-H Club and served by Mrs. Bob Rich and Linda Rich. Carolyn Haas Graduate Of Whitewater The first Saturday com­ mencement was held at the University of Wisconsin- Whitewater when the ninth formal mid-year exercises were held recently in Williams center.

We are standing at the beginning me and you... no one is holding in their hand a bright and shining light. The future lays before us, mysterious and unknown... Every man has to find his own way, along this dark road, alone. Many bad paths will lead us to the side where great temptations are waiting... and lustful games to everyone's delight. Just the Strong wiU walk by ... holding their head up high.... We all need courage, good luck and faith to walk ahead and withstand those attractions. We have just one life, here on earth, to live then follows death... and we will be judged by all our actions. So, as the old year is ringing out and another page is written in the book of life we turn to a new page, with the pen in our hand God gave us again a new chance... to will-come the new year and make it a good and better life....
