Just think of i t . First report had Jackie Onassis getting 230 million bucks through her husband's will . Then came the evening news and the figure had been cut to 150 million. How can a person survive with those kind of cuts0 The next morning we picked up a paper to find President Ford in a sequence of pictures blowing his nose. Such a thrill1 One of the nicest remem­ brances we received on St. Patrick's Day is a book ex­ plaining "The Art of Irish Blarney". That 's something we are going to have to practice. EARL WALSH So I Hear SPORTS EDITORJ DUSTING OFF AN OLD ONE: An advertisement appeared in a Wicklow newspaper: 'Young farmer would like to hear from young woman with tractor with a view to matrimony. Please send pic­ ture of the tractor. ' The basketball frenzy is with us again. The battle is narrowing down for the state championship. Normally sane people go a bit wacky as tension grows in tournament play. The day may come when electric fences will have to be installed to keep the crowd off the floor. One player was hurt at Rockford when an over - enthusiastic crowd mobbed the victorious team.

By Dick Rabbitt The spring athletic program at McHenry High School is in full swing Baseballs are flying, you can hear the whack of the tennis ball against the racquet, and the track boys are busy running their laps. Because ot the weather, the activities have been confined to the gyms. All the coaches are looking forward to the time when they can get the boys outdoors. Mondav. March 31st is opening day for Coach Ken Swanson's McHenry haseball team. Carmel of Mundelein is the first opponent at Mc­ Cracken Field. For the first t ime in many a year Coach Chuck Cuda will be taking it easy. When the I H S A. shifted golf from spring to fall last year, it gave the popular McHenry coach a lit t le t ime off in the spring. Maybe he can get a li t t le of that yard work done, that always had to be postponed. 4 To 6 Year Old Gym And Swim Is Unique Program MCHENRY RECREATION LADIES TUESDAY NIGHT LEAGUE 3-18-75 Wilma Aylward 442; Helen Spencer 424; Lor Freund 427; Sharon Kujak 495; Roberta Fraser 441; Elaine Justen 461; Tinky Mayer 461; Phil Gor- senraud 439; Eleanor Glaviam 433; Bette O'Brien 457; Mary Cook 481; Theresa Steffans 486; Grace Steindoefer 478; Ethel Conway 447; Clarice Buenzli_ 480; Fran Weyland 439; Van Diedrich 461; Flo Dercole 460; Donna Bauml 425; Dorothy Koleno 449; Sue Koleno 490: Barb Leight 436; Lauretta Homo 421; Shirley Lossmann 456; Jo Rizzo 438; Sue Smith 424; Petie Heck 448 and Dee Overton 498.

The resulting atti tudes should carry over into the primary school years, forming basis for a pattern of achievement and enjoyment with every challenge."
