Sweet Adelines Feature Guests THE STEREO SOUND Mary LaMoster, baritone; Mary Couch, bass; Carolann Bagley, lead; and Sharon Otterness, tenor; compete at the international quartet contest this month in Los Angeles, Calif. THE VALLEY FOUR-GERS re, bass; Gene Anthony, tenor, Walt Martin, lead and Carl Missele, baritArte. are shown above. Two guest quartets will be featured in the McHenry chapter of the Sweet Adelines annual show to be held Nov. 3 at 8 p.m. at McHenry West campus high schoo. The theme is "Showboat Days". The Stereo Sound quartet was organized in September of 1974 and brings more than sixty-five years of barbershopping ex­ perience into their midst. Although they live over 60 miles apart, they find the love of singing together makes it all worthwhile. Their repertoire includes numbers from the most tender ballad to happy-go- lucky up-tunes, interspersed with light comedy. In spring of 1978 the Stereo Sound won the title of regional champions in Grand Rapids, Mich. The Valley Four-Gers were organized in October of 1962 and have been pleasing audiences with their own particular brand of humor and son&. They are all members of the Elgin chapter of S.P.E.B.S.Z.S. A. tthe society for" the Preser­ vation and Encouragement of Barbershop Quartet Singing in America, Inc.). Their emphasis is toward comedy and novelty material, which their audiences dearly love, although they have not neglected the singing categories and have worked with many well known coaches. In 1963 they were chosen as Illinois district novice quartet champions In 1973 they were awarded the Ed Wilson Service award. This award is the highest award given by the Illinois district to a quartet for services given to their fellow men. They have consistently placed high in Illinois district quartet contests. In 1974 they reached the medalist category, placing in the third position. On Sept. 25, 1976, they won the coveted crown of Illinois district champions for 1976-77, and were quarterfinalistsg^ the 1977 and 1978 international quartet competition. In addition to their schedule of barbershop shows they have made radio commercials, appeared at banquets, business meetings, shows and benefits. They have a total aggregate of over 112 years of barbershop quartet experience, and their relaxed and impromtu ap pearance on stage quickly puts an audience at ease. This is the fifth annual show given by the McHenry Sweet Adelines and will carry the Showboat theme. It promises to be one of their best ever. In 1975, the thirty-member chorus won the novice award in fcborus competition, only tflf return the following year and win the most Improved Chorus award. In Spring of this year they wa.ked off with the Small Chorus award w^iich is presented to the best chorus in competition with less than thirty-fiye members. The chorus has been only chartered four years. For more information about the show please contact Mrs. James R. (Mary Jane) Boelens, at Pistakee Highlands, tickets are available at some business places.

When a man or woman leaves the home due to divorce, often it is without explaining to the children why this is happening Usually the excuse given is "The children are too young to understand Such parents usually have other reasons for not communicating the separation to the children, such as inability to deal with their own feelings of shame or guilt This gives some children the opportunity 4.0 convince themselves that the mother or father will return home in time Carried to the extreme, some children may actually fantasize that the absent parent is still living in the house, but leaving for work before the child gets up and returning home after the child is in bed Although use of denial by a child may give the child time to adjust to the separation, the reaction when carried to an extreme is always maladap­ tive The divorce is a reality and must be accepted as such at some point. Direct confrontation of the child regarding his use of, denial can be very anxiety provoking In therapy with children of divorced parents, the counselor will often use a story-telling technique, with either toy animals or dolls, acting out a "divorce" situation, showing how the pain and fear can be overcome and happy home life restored The technique, while usually very effective, has very little value if the parents, either consciously or unconsciously, are contributing to the denial process.

If you Have to replace a lamp yourself, be sure to cheek headlight aim Most owner's manuals and service manuals give instructions If you have neither, a blank wall and roll of tape will suffice until you can get to a service station. Drive the car up to a wall and mark precisely where the lights (dim and bright) shine Back the car 25 feet and, with someone in the driver's seat, adjust lamps until they focus on the marked spots Aiming adjustment on newer cars can be reached through outer headlight trim You must remove the trim on many older cars , ^ V C E t .
