The early picture" of Coach was taken from a 1926 MCHS Yearbook. The latest picture was taken at his very attractive Condo in Holiday, Florida. It was given to me by a Florida-McHenryite. Coach Stringer is in his 80's going on 100. When this week comes to an end, I am sure we will choose the highlight as a lunch date and visit with Jake and Tillie Stoffel. When I explained to some people recently that Jake and I grew up about a half block from each other, they said, "Oh, you are natives". Yep. We are native and lived so near it didn't take smoke signals to communicate. As you might imagine, Jake and I cover a lot of old times in McHenry when we get together. So much so that Tillie urged us to leave some for next time as they were at the door to depart. Alvina was explaining a new DeLorean car which we saw. When I explained how the hood opens out on the sides, Jake said, "That's nothing new. The old Model Ts did the same". I forgot, but am still laughing about that retort. This we like Anonymous: coming to us from TELL HIM NOW! With pleasure you are viewing any work a man is doing; If you like him, or you love him, tell him now. Don't withhold your approbation 'til the parson makes oration And he lies with snowy lilies o'er his brow. For no matter how you shout it; he won't really care about it, He won't really know how many tear-drops you have shed. If you think some praise is due him, now's the time to slip it to him, For he cannot read his tombstone when he's dead! Just heard a news report telling of changes in the weight chart. According to the old chart, my weight dictated that I should be a 7- footer. The new chart cuts the height down to 6Vfe feet. That is what you call progress. We know who built the Pyramids, and who shot J.H., but who in hell is Bill Thomas?

OoCd <3*1*1 FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the Hies of March 2, 1933). With Feb. 28 as the deadline for filing petitions of candidates for the township offices, there is enough rivalry in the county to make this year's election one of the most in­ teresting and exciting in many years. In McHenry township, while there is no election for supervisor, there will be much activity in the race for township cleric as Peter M. J us ten, present incumbent of the office, and Ray McGee, Green street clothier, have announced their candidacy for the office of township clerk. Both of these men are well known and highly respected in the township, and will no doubt, bring out a large vote. L. A. Erickson of McHenry was elected first vice-president of the Associated Independent Grocers of McHenry County. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of March 4, 1943). A fire of unknown origin completely destroyed the Griswold Lake school only an hour after the 32 pupils of the school had gone home. The two teachers, Mrs. Mary Andres and Mrs. Malcolm Mclntyre, left the building at 4:30 and detected no signs of fire at that time. The Johns-Manville corporation reports that Richard C. Stenger, Waukegan, a former McHenry resident now Bake county representative of the Walfill com­ pany, 'has received the J-M "Hi- blower" award for his sales record in 1942. This award goes to all salesmen of J. M. blow-in insulation whose order for the year totaled $20,000 or more. Robert Doherty, who has been stationed at Portland, Oregon, was in the hospital for 10 days recently with the measles. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the flies of March 6, 1968). A contract was awarded to Hamp­ shire Electric company of Dixon, to install traffic signal lights at the corner of Riverside drive and Elm street. Since payment will be made through Motor Fuel Tax funds, the contract is subject to state approval. From Musin' and Meanderin': "A recent copy of the classified ad­ vertising section of a leading Chicago daily indicated that the newspaper had in its midst the very person it was advertising for. The ad read "Wanted, Upset operator, must be ex­ perienced." The fellow who set the type, no doubt, was very "upset" for our own printing department em­ ployees have no knowledge of such an expert in the business." TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of March 9, 1973). James T. O'Heir has been named the trauma coordinator at McHenry hospital, Anthony Corcoran, hospital executive director, has announced. As a local Trauma center, McHenry hospital «is responsible for the im­ mediate life-saving procedures. A physician is on duty in the emergency room and the hospital has com­ prehensive resuscitative and specialty care capabilities. The proposed radio communication will connect the hospital with area am­ bulance service and rescue units. Plaindealer Photographer Wayne Gaylord learned*this past week that he finished fourth in the 1972 Illinois Press Photographers association monthly newsphoto contest.
