Also attending this three- week debate workshop were Ann Snyder and Mike Tollifson, juniors at McHenry Commun­ ity high school. Besides the cer­ tificate of satisfactory com­ pletion they both received, Ann was also awarded a certificate of excellence for rating eighth FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of December 30, 1926) The ice-cutting season began this week when Math Baur started work on the mill pond on Monday. Several weeks ago the boards were put into the dam to hold back the water and allow it to become deep enough for ice and the continued cold weather has caused the ice to form. Filling of the ice house was started on Tuesday and with continued good luck Mr. Baur expects to be finished by Friday. Twenty-three men are employed in getting the ice which is now twelve inches thick into the ice-house. Fox river is now frozen over and those who enjoy the sport are making the most of the good skating up and down the river. Many of the young men of our community are becoming in­ terested in basketball and have organized a town team. Those who are turning out regularly f r practice are Gus Freund, Zeke Bacon, Earl Walsh, Leo Winkel Sebre Whiting, William Green, Bernard Newman, Earl Peterson, Lester Bacon and John Stoffel, Jr. Earl Walsh has highest speaker in the tour­ nament. Ann is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Snyder of McHenry. been appointed captain of the first team and William Green is captain of the second team while Carl Weber is manager. The boys have a good fast team and would be glad to have a few more interested players. From the Ostend news: For all the cloudy, frosty weather that prevails therp are no cases of serious illness in our neigh­ borhood. Several complain of rheumatism but are not laid up. FORTY YEARS AGO iTaken from the files of December 31, 1936) Local merchants report that business was much better this year during the Christmas season with the public doing their shopping cheerfully and taking care of their obligations more readily than in many years. Employees of the local post offices and rural carriers have also known for some time that Christmas was ap­ proaching as the mail has been heavier than for many seasons past and the offices were literally flooded with greeting cards, as well as parcels and packages. We are all hoping that the coming year of 1937 may be happier and more prosperous than any of the recent years which have seemed to bring only hard times, sorrow and suffering. With the hope of better conditions uppermost in our minds, we review the local events of the year and chronicle the events of interest which have transpired to make history. As we look back over the events of the year there quickly comes to mind the three outstanding features of its history, the Centennial celebration, the election, and the weather, which have probably been uppermost in the minds of local residents during the past twelve months. Members of McHenry unit of the American Legion auxiliary participated in the Christmas party for the soldiers at the Elgin state hospital on Dec. 22, in which all units of the county united in putting on an hour program and treat. The local unit contributed 12' _» pounds of homemade candy as their share oi the treat and Miss Evelyn Anderson gave vocal selections, accompanying herself on the guitar. TWENTY --FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of January 3, 1952) The court of Judge Henry L. Cowlin was crowded with residents from the new village of Lakemoor last Monday as several residents appeared in an attempt to prove the legality of their voting status and to ask that a date be set for election of village officers. No action was taken. Several days previous, a procedure had been filed in both the county and circuit courts by attorneys representing other persons of the new village, contesting the election by challenging the validity of some of the voters and asking a recount. McHenry lost one of its veteran business men, John J. Vycital, on Wednesday of this week. He is believed to have been the oldest active business man in the city in years of service, having operated a store on Green street since 1906. Mr. Vycital suffered a heart attack about 4 o'clock on New Year's day, after which he was taken to the Woodstock hospital where he died the following morning, Jan. 2. He was 73 years old. The McHenry Warriors, after a slow start, put on the steam to trounce Ela 61-43 last Wed­ nesday night in the Grayslake basketball tournament. It was a well balanced attack that earned success for the Warriors as they overcame an early Ela lead. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of January 5, 1967) Prospects of a ground breaking for McHenry's new high school on Crystal Lake road came closer to being a reality last Thursday night when members of the board of School District 156 opened bids. The next step will be a detailed examination of the various quotations by architects after which they will submit to the board the results of their fin­ dings. In view of the fact that all bidders met preliminary qualifications, it is quite probable that low bidders will be awarded contracts if they have met the required stipulations for base bids and alternatives. At the regular meeting of McHenry's City Council held on Tuesday night due to the new# Year holiday, the Council voted to appeal the Locker et al vs City of McHenry case to the Second Appelate court. The State Department of Public Works and Buildings has released specific road con­ struction and right-of-way acquisition projects which will be undertaken during the year ahead in McHenry county. Probably of greatest interest locally is installation of a flashing beacon on Rt. 120 at Wonder Lake road at a cost of $1,000. The intersection has long been regarded as hazardous for motorists.
