\. Railroad Club Anniversary PAGE S - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3. Wonder Lake Anne Sowers 653-9549 I "The Family" Nurses Topic The Lake County Model Railroad club, 107 Main street, Wauconda, will celebrate its tenth an­ niversary year with an open house March 13 and 14. Train operations will be open to the public from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. Admission is free. At past open houses, the train layout's operation has drawn crowds of model railroad enthusiasts from metropolitan areas as far away as Rockford, Madison, Milwaukee and Joliet. Visotors are welcome to observe three to five trains operating simultaneously on the layout. The trackage consists of 2,600 feet of nickel silver rail spiked onto more than 50,000 individually hand-laid ties. Over five miles of electric wire is used in transmitting the electrical power to the track, signalling system and switches. At the open house, the railroad's dispatcher will route the trains over the 350 feet of single track mainline and the 950 feet of secondary trackage using a master control panel consisting of 21 blocks. The mountainous landscape, which the trains travel through, is con­ structed of approximately one ton of hydrocal plaster. The numerous buildings and bridges on the "HO" scale layout are a com­ bination of scratchbuilt and kit structures made from wood, plastic and cardstock. Over 16,000 man hours have gone into the con­ struction of this model railroad. The 22 Lake County Model Railroad club members including some from this area, invite all the family to spend an enjoyable Saturday and Sunday watching steam and diesel engines pulling passenger and freight trains on one of the oldest and largest "HO" scale railroads in the midwest. | College Honors | NIU Degrees Six McHenry area students have completed degree requirements for undergraduate degrees at Northern Illinois university, DeKalb.

Ski Club Getting Ready Members of the Wonder Lake Ski club are already getting ready for the sum­ mer season. They recently held their first meeting of the season and are now holding workout sessions at Coventry school in Crystal Lake. These sessions are used to get in shape and to work on their different routines. • There will be many new and exciting things to look forward to for the club, like new costumes and different acts. On Mar. 6, many of the members will be traveling to Madison, Wis., to participate in a series of seminars called "Think Tanks", which Will help in planning future shows. The club will again be holding a pancake breakfast, this year on Sunday, Mar. 28, from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., at Christ the King hall. Two weekends in May, the club will also be putting in piers for a nominal fee.

The club has been invited to ski in shows at McHenry, Crystal Lake, and possibly Lake Geneva, along with three shows at Wonder Lake, so they are in for a busy season. Karen Hartmann, Ski club president, says that social members are always welcome to join the club. They are needed just as much as skiing members are, so if you would like to join in the fun, give Karen a call.

March 19, 20, 21; 26, 27 and 28; and April 1, 2 and 3. The Betty Comden and Adolph Green play is based on the original story and film by Mary Orr, "All About Eve", a famous feature starring Bette Davis. This story of ruthless ladder- climbing and back-stepping in the theatre contrasts a young and ambitious ac­ tress, Eve Harrington, with the mature, quintessential Broadway superstar, Margo Channing. George Richardson, vocal director, is a native of Spring Grove where he is a farmer in a family partnership. Richardson sang with the men's glee club for five years at the U. of I. This is his first opportunity to direct. Margo Channing will be played by Charlaine Tiffany of McHenry. She has ap­ peared before with the Woodstock Musical Theatre company as Fruma Sarah in "Fiddler On The Roof". The mother of four will be op­ posite another McHenry resident, A1 Smith, as Bill Sampson. As Margo's director, Sampson has to take a lot from his tem­ peramental fiancee. A1 Smith has acted and directed musicals for many years, here and in his native New Jersey. Curtain time for "Ap­ plause!" is 6 p.m. Sundays, 8:15 p.m. all other days. Tickets with senior citizen and student discounts are available every night except Saturdays. For information and reservations, dall the Woodstock Opera House, 815-338-5300.
