PAGE 4-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1973 Holiday Hills Bonnie Kellen & Marge Connell 385-6344 Local Teenagers Tell Experiences At Inauguration Two of our teenagers from Holiday Hills have just returned from a fabulous trip and the memories they have will probably be with them the rest of their lives. Bill Wise of Pine Street and Annette Hamaker of Hyde Park, both students at McHenry high school, par­ ticipated in an "Inauguration Trip" which took them to Washington, D.C. Leaving on Thursday night, Jan. 18 via jet from O'Hare Field, excitement started before they even arrive at their destination as engine trouble developed and an emergency landing was made at an air field somewhere in a small town in Ohio. The group was to arrive at 11 p.m. and did not get there until 4 the next morning. They motored to a large motel in Wheaton, Md., just outside of Washington where the entire facilities were reserved for the students from Illinois. Friday and Saturday day trips included seeing the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials; the Washington Monument; a tour of the Capital; Ford Theater; Iwo Jima Memorial; Library of Congress; Mount Vernon the historic home of George Washington; the National Zoo where they saw the "Pandas" which the United States has just recently received from China; and the White House. Friday evening was spent at the Kennedy Performing Arts Center. Another highlight of the trip was the meeting and talking with our two Illinois Senators, Charles Percy and Adlai Stevenson. They viewed the inaugural parade in reserved seats on Pennsylvania Avenue and were treated to their own special inaugural dinner and dance on Saturday night which was held for all students on the tour. Sunday was spent at the Smithsonian Institute which is a center for study and research. The Institution carries out research projects especially in scientific fields and has a library containing over a million books. Branches of Smithsonian include the U.S. National Museum, the National Air Museum, Three Art Galleries and the National Zoological Park. It was also here where they viewed the famous "Hope" diamond, the largest blue diamond in the world. There were seventy-seven in the group from McHenry in­ cluding the chaperones and twelve students from Wood­ stock. They arrived home at l a.m. Monday morning, Jan. 22 thrilled, excited and are still talking about their not only enjoyable but very educational trip and are now anxiously awaiting the return of all their films so they can show them to their families. NEW BABY Former Holiday Hills residents, Chuck and Bea Catanzaro, brother and sister- in-law of Joe Catanzaro of Hyde Park, are extremely happy this week as they proudly announce the birth of their new daughter, Christina Marie, who was born on Wednesday, Jan. 24 at Condell Memorial hospital in Libertyville. Little Christina weighed in at 7 lbs., 1 oz., and measured 20 inches long. Mother Nature has a strange and wonderful way of doing things as only last year after 12 years of a childless marriage, Chuck and Bea adopted little Douglas who was one year old on Nov. 30 and now only fourteen months later, are the very proud parents of their own little girl. We send congratulations and best wishes to this fine couple and know how much happiness is in their hearts with the addition of this little pink bundle from heaven into their family. GIRLSCOUT OUTING For several weeks our Girl Scouts of Troop 478 had planned an ice skating party and wiener roast for Saturday, Jan. 27, but when the day arrived, our unseasonable weather forced them to cancel part of their plans and instead of a skating party they took a hike up into the woods to enjoy the wonders of winter. Although the weather could have been much better, they returned from their hike to the Connell home on Oak Lane which is their meeting place and built a fire in the backyard. Happily they toasted their hot dogs and marshmallows in between a few rain drops and it certainly didn't seem to dampen their spirits. Leaders Jackie Carbone and Cheri Hoglund accompanied the girls and everyone had a very pleasant afternoon. GRISWOLDLAKE ATHLETIC CLUB A very important meeting was held on Friday night, Jan. 19, at the Mahon home on Birch street by the Griswold Lake Athletic Club. The occasion was the election of officers for the coming year and th€ following men were voted into office: President, Clint Raven; Vice- President, Mike Novak; Secretary, Wally Stanchuck and Treasurer, Ed Hughes. Congratulations to all these men and we know they will do a fine job executing the duties of their newly elected offices. GRANDMA'S BIRTHDAY All ten members of the Connell family of Oak Lane drove into Chicago last Sunday, Jan. 28, to mark a very special occasion and quite a family celebration. It was Jack Connell's mother's eighty-eighth bir­ thday and the party was held in a lovely hall on the northwest side with approximately seventy-five ifamily members present. Grandma Connell has five sons, and together now boasts thirty-eight grand­ children and nineteen great grandchildren. A delicious dinner was served to all, a beautiful cake in her honor decorated the table and she received many lovely gifts and birthday wishes. The family being so large, there are very few times when they can all get together but this was one occasion no one missed to pay tribute and honor a wonderful mother and grandmother on her birthday! GET-WELL WISHES Get-well wishes are sent this week to little Bobby Netzel, son of Robert and Ann Netzel of Poplar Street. Bobby, Jr., is only one yearn old and was operated on last week at Condell Memorial hospital in Libertyville for a hernia. We all hope by the tinte this is published, he will be home again in the loving care of his mom and dad and will recuperate quickly. Another little lady, Becky Lonergan, has been under the weather for a week or so due to a case of "scarlatina", a mild form of scarlet fever and cheery get-well wishes are sent to her with the hopes she will be up and about real soon. A Little cowboy's day can be very rough indeed - especially if he falls off his plastic riding horse and breaks his leg. Little Eddie Wegener, 22 month old son of Ron and Dee Wegener, last Monday, Jan. 22, fell off his "horse" onto the thick shag carpeting in such an awkward way and suffered a spiral fracture of his left leg. Eddie will have a cast on for four weeks, and the Wegener household will be keDt verv busy attempting to keep little Eddie entertained and happy. We all wish him cheery get-well wishes and hope he will be "back on the Trail" in time for his second birthday.

Chicago School Enters Pupils In Pioneer Program On Monday, Jan. 29, eighty sixth graders from Enrico Fermi elementary school, 1415 E. 70th street, Chicago, arrived at Pleasant Valley farm in rural Woodstock for a week of environmental education en­ ding Friday, Feb. 2. Next Monday, Feb. 5, a second group of eighty sixth graders will visit the farm for the week. Pleasant Valley farm, located on 380 acres of marginal farmland surroun­ ding a terminal moraine, in­ cludes ponds, swamps, woods, groves, prairie, farmland and a creek, and is an ideal location for outdoor education. Through the efforts of Jim Mason, director, it has been a pioneer in the field. The farm's participation in Fermi school's environmental education program, which is funded by a grant from the Chicago Community trust, is another exciting pioneer program to teach and develop environmental awareness to future citizens who, in a city of concrete and pollution have little opportunity to learn first hand of nature's checks and balances, reverence for natural creation and the effects of pollution outside of the city.
