jjFhursday. May .10, 1956 THE MCHENRY PT.ATwnPMFB Page Tfc|rte«% Wonder Lake News By Phyllis Whitfield Water Safety Program May Be Dropped For the first time, the Wonder Lake community failed to meet their goal during the Red Cross t drive held in March. Many people may not realize that the water safety program is sponsored each year by the Red Cross and failure to meet the goal during the drive can mean curtailment of this program. That could mean there will be no swimming instructions for ^the children hero at the Lake this summer. The cost for swimming instruction is $4.50 per child per summer and the Red Cross must meet this expense. Mrs. Phinney, executive secretary of the Red Cross in McHenry county, is giving us extra time since this is the first year Wons der Lake has failed, so3 with ad- • l^ditional contributions the difference can be met. Isn't it worth ^ the efforts of all of us to see that this difference is met and that our children willvbe able to have this excellent training offered fhem this summer?' Anyone who has not joined the Red Cross or who wishes lo make an additional contribution, please mail it to the Red Cross in Woodstock or to Betty Srls- • J^orf, Rt. 1, Ringwood. A Red Cross worker will call for your contribution if you wish. Just call Wonder Lakfe 5641. Visits Friends J. B.

A donation of one dollar to cover expenses of balloons, streamers;, prizes, etc., was given by Mrs. Pierce, Mrs. Lake and Mis Byrnes. Chaperones for the evening were the Mesdames Router. Sorenson, Ceeich. Liedtke. Specht, Hampton and Roti. Since this was the last party for the seventh'and eighth graders, Mrs. Roti, chairman of youth recreation, hopes the children have enjoyed the parties as much as she had enjoyed bringing them to them. To the eighth grade young people she extends wishes for happy, successful years in high school. Mrs. Roti was very grateful for the cooperation of those with whom she worked the past year. Mrs. Specht made very attractive posters which were displayed before each party and brought about much enthusiasm among the children. Mrs. Leidtke, cochairman, chaperoned every party and helped with driving some of the children home. Mrs. King and Mrs. Specht were always available to chaperone when they were so hard to find. Mr. Josseran'd, seventh grade teacher, attended as many parties as possible and his presence there was always a help. A small profit was realized on the sale of pop by Mr. Dean's letting tlie school purchase it at cost. This profit was used to make the parties more attractive. A very good pattern has been set this winter and let us all help it continue.
