One of the most interesting parts of Fiesta Day was the old settlers' meeting at the city nark during the afternoon. Recognized as the oldest member present was Mrs. Elizabeth Schneider. 91. while the one who travelled the farthest to attend was a "young timer", Mrs. Don Roewfer, the former Ethelmae Hagberg, of California. Mayor George P. Freund officiated at the registration booth for the settlers, where about 300 of the large number in attendance signed their names. One observant person noticed most frequently the following cities represented: Figin. Waukegan, Wauconda, Harvard. Woodstock. Mundelein, Libertyville, Deerfield and Chicago. Pooular Attractions Pancake day, the trout derby and the mpny other features of Fiesta Day were extremelv popular, according to all reports. The street dancing at the city ball diamond rink attracted large crowds, as did the vaudeville show. Prior to the program, Mr. Creamer introduced Mayor Freund, the queen Nancy Thornton, and her two attendants, Judv Hans and Judy Baur: Marie Schaettgen, who so efficiently handled all of the Fiesta Day publicity; and the many who assisted in preparing the stage for the event. The program was very well received and all who attended termed it a fitting climax to a day which will linger long in the memories of McHenry residents and their guests. tin'& Meanderin' (Continued on page 8). all that was necessary: "Concerning , he's a We couldn't have been more thrilled than the moment we learned that McHenry's Mary Ann Granger had topped a field of twenty-one contestants to become state dairy princess of 1958. Little more than a month ago, the pretty, dark haired miss shared dreams for the future with other seniors as she received her' diploma the night of June 6. Probably none of them were half as exciting as the honor bestowed last week. No one was more proud than James Curran, president of the McHenry Pure Milk local that sponsored Mary Ann in the county contest.

The name of McHenry keeps popping up throughout the country, and latest evidence of our popularity comes in a letter from Peter M. Justen, now vacationing in Evergreen, Colo. Mr. Justen sent along part of a carton carrying the name "Corn Treats, Inc., McHenry, 111.," as evidence that local products are far-reaching. The local man continued to mention that there is plenty of good mountain trout eating in that part of Colorado. Dry air temperatures ranging from 35 to 50 degrees, and sleeping under a wool blanket every night sounds ideal, but then we have little reason. for complaint right here in Illinois this year. The young folks who spent so many hours in preparing the float of the Methodist Youth Fellowship for the Fiesta Day parade were mighty happy when they were asked to take part in Woodstock's V-J parade next Sunday. of more travel, several little poetic reminders concerning the danger of high-powered machines have attracted our attention. Hoping that such pleasant reminders might be appreciated by others, we hope to pass them along occasionally throughout the remainder of the summer season.
