(DON PEASLEY PHOTOGRAPHY) EARL WALSH DEADLINE notice has been changed to include holidays. We didn't include those special days on the sports page notice at the start and a couple of people let us know about it during the Fourth of July holiday. We have had so many group pictures that a meeting of the minds decrees a change next year. No way can the increasing number of pictures be used. So -- the time is nearing when only action shots and group pictures of championship teams in various leagues can be used. As previously stated some old time pictures will be used -- especially those we couldn't squeeze in the Centennial issue. We will do our darndest to print pictures now on the waiting list. Some home grown peaches from Clyde BJackwell hit our table and -- were they good! Didn't have a thing from our garden to return the favor. We didn't recognize "Frenchv" when he switched from the "Beanie" to a big straw hat Clarence Smith is now a TV celebritv. We always knew he I Hear SPORTS EDITOR I was something special, but TV just caught on to it. Not many people knew about it. The TV people came out to see Clarence perform his wood­ working art, then put it on the air waves the same night. Now the Associated Press is going to follow with a story. We'll be watching. Some people we know didn't pop off much when the Sox invaded Shea Stadium and clobbered the Yankees three straight. All eyes will be on the Sox in '76. Remember -- You read it here. "Zeke" came to see us and brought the picture of the MAAC (McHenry Amateur Athletic Club) basketball team we have wanted. He also brought us an Irish book. How could he know that is what we like'. ' "Zeke" told about reading about the formation of a new school district in the Johnsburg area and reminded us that Gus Freund was the first McHenry High grad from Johnsburg "That was 50 years ago", said "Zeke".

The Warriors last season were the surprise of the North Suburban finishing third with a 6 and 3 record. New Activities For GAA Group Forever Blowing Bubbles" has caught up to baseball stars. Now they have a bubble gum contest. Imagine the old Gas House Gang of St. Louis en­ tering that kind of a contest. No way. The bubbles would get mixed up with their chawin' tobacco. "WHOOPS!" Our wife reminds us that Gus had an older sister, Pauline, who graduated from McHenry High. What would a fellow do without a wife to keep things straight! Should have remembered. Pauline was in our class and later became a Nun. She was one fine girl r And still the Champ! , Art Jackson swept through the opposition to retain his club championship at McHenry Countrv Club Sunday. Art entered the final round with a 7 stroke lead. Then when he holed out on No. 1 in 3, the gallery knew it was all over but the final count. John Busscher will have the Scores on all the events in his golf news so we won't go into that part. Our chauffeur. Barb Weber, was on the job again this year and has been signed up for next vear Barb-even thought to get an umbrella from Vale Adams. That was a master stroke. We hadn't wheeled down No. 1 fairway more than 500 feet when down came the rain. Barb knows that course and navigated this way and that to keep us in the shade at every stop And. would you believe9 We didn't hit a bump all the wav around the course. It is wasn't the heat it was the humidity that drew the crowd to the refreshment stand in the woods. That spot in a nest of shade trees is a lifesaver. Mr. and Mrs. "Mike" Michels were busy in the stand, but never too busy to be friendly and gracious. This year GAA will have many new activities along with the favorite old ones. Hor­ seback riding, rollerskating, ice sakting and canoeing are the new activities that GAA will be introducing this year, along with the old ones such as dance, gymnastics, bowling, and swimming. The horseback riding will be at the Lazv "C" stables in Volo and starts Thursday, Sep­ tember 11. It will be on every Thursday until October 23. A girl may go 1 to 6 times and transportation will be provided. You can then ride the activity bus home. Any freshman girl interested in joining GAA is invited to the Freshman Coke party being held at East campus cafeteria on Thursday, Aug. 28 at 2:45.

Glad to see Tom Evans and daughter in one of the m^ny carts following the progress. Tom looks great after his illness. President Ed Spengel was on the job to see that everybody was having a good time inside the club house and on the course, This wasn't one of those old time Jackson-Buss battles down to the wire, but just being out there was great fun for us.

Ethel gained back 1 ̂ ach on the next two and tied the 4th, but Pat knocked in a bogey as Ethel 3 putted for an 8. They tied the next 4 holes but it was all over.

We will also elect new officers so think about who you want in. Did anyone ever notice that all the best golfers - men and women - are blondes?
