N PAG E 5- PLA| N DEALE R-WED NE SO AY, MAY 30, J 973 Wonder Lake Mary jean Huff 728-0267 Mary Lee Wight Receives Science Nursing Degree Mary Lee Wight, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph P. Sullivan of St. Francis Heights, received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing from Alverno College, Milwaukee, on Sunday, May 20. Friends and relatives attending the pin and stripes ceremony on Saturday evening, May 19, joined the graduate in a celebration dinner at the Country Club in Milwaukee following the services. Mary Lee is a graduate of Harrison School in Wonder Lake and Marian Central High School in Woodstock. She has accepted a position as a surgical nurse at Memorial • Hospital for McHenry County, Woodstock. HONOR BIRTHDAY The sixth grade classes at Harrison School surprised one of their teachers, Jack Darby, with a birthday party on Wednesday, May 23. The students had arranged decorations presents, refresh­ ments and an impromptu shower of confetti, some lan­ ding in Mr. Darby's coffee cup. Special guest for the celebration was Mr. Darby's pretty and petite wife, Kay. FLORIDA TRIP As the Bob Anderson family drove down the expressway through the flying snow very early on Monday morning, May 14, they all agreed it was a good day to go to Florida. And their journey did take them to O* Hare Airport where the oldest An­ derson son, Jeff, a seventh grader at Harrison School, boarded a plane (his first flight) that would take him on a holiday to the sunshine state. Jeff was one of the lucky winners in a contest sponsored by a Chicago newspaper. His name was one of sixty-six drawn from a field of 22,000 paper carriers. Florida's Marineland and its dolphins were really great, in Jeff's opinion. He also toured Cape Kennedy and saw the Saturn IB rocket being readied to take astronauts Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz on their Skylab salvage mission. Another day was spent at Disney world where Jeff met the most famous cartoon character of them all, Mickey Mouse.

THE PIED PIPER You might not believe this, but we live next to the Pied Piper of Oakwood Shores. Last week our neighbor, Jack and his wife, JoAnn began hauling in yard after yard of black dirt to fill the low spots in their back yard and make ready for the seed. In no time at all the whole place was swarming with kids - 3 year olds armed with shovels, 8 year olds with wagons, 10 year olds pushing wheelbarrows - all ready and willing to help spread the good earth. A short time later I looked out the window and JoAnn was reinforcing the crew with glasses of lemonade and by the time the last truckful of dirt arrived, the black stuff had been spread over most of the large back yard. This day and this story should have had a happy ending but...as it hap­ pened, the tires on that last truck full of dirt dug their way deep into the soft ground and there they stayed. Soon most of the parents of the kids who had helped our Pied Piper and his wife, were on the scene, some offering and giving help, others just standing, kibitzing and watching the wheels dig in deeper. What our Pied Piper said about the stuck truck and how he finally got it out is another story, but at long last the truck was out of the mud and the neighbors gathered their kids for home and the bath tub. Yup, spring is here, and this is only the beginning of many more "happenings" to come in the Summer of '73.

WhileN the card will give viewers a rough idea of visual acuity, it does not replace eye examinations by a qualified doctor, officials of the Illinois society stress". Even if you can read finest directory size print, it does not mean that your eyes are free of disease, the card points out. Adults should have their eyes examined every two years to make certain that there is no incipient trouble in their eyes. People over 35 years of age, especially, are susceptible to glaucoma, a disease of the eyes which can exist for some time before it shows any apparent symptoms. A tonometry test, which detects pressure in the eye and is made quickly and painlessly by an eye doctor, can detect the disease before it becomes too dangerous. Once glaucoma has been detected, however, it can be kept under control. Copies of the eye testing card may be obtained by writing to the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness, 220 South State Street, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
