McHenry Manager Covert, 40. is a native of Chicago and received his mastor's degree in business administration from the University of Chicago. During .World War II he served as a communications officer in the U. S. Navy and saw action in the Pacific theater. He joined SRA' in May of this year.

SRA" began its test scoring activities in McHenry in 1952. Original fa&lil&s consisted of nvo employees on the front porch of a house. Shortly thereafter, the center moved into a backroom of a barbershop. In 1956 the operation was moved into its present building, which had served as a brewery during - prohibition days. The corked line walls serve as ideal protection against dampness for the test answer sheets. In 1958, SRA moved its Materials Handling and Shipping Center to a quonset hut in Woodstock.

Now with construction of the new Lakemoor building these three facilities will be consolidated under one roof.

Other business to come before the meeting was the reading of a letter from E. R. Jacobsen of the Wonder Lake Syndicate, in answer to Liedtke's letter of Julv 20. Jacobsen said that under his deed.

McHenry Country Club News By Jack Buclde PISTAKEE COUNTRY CLUB HOST TO MANY TOURNEY GROUPS Many organizations in the area are nailing down final plans for golf tournaments slated for Pistakee Country Club in the near future. Leaders in Pistakee's ten team T h u r s d ay Twilight League held their positions in play last week. Still in first, second and third * places, respectively, are Tony Victor's ; Team 5, A1 Thelen's Team 1, and Team 4, captained by George Gulbrandsen. The ieague will hold its tournament September 11. Mrs. Ray Conway attended a shower in Grayslake, Friday evening, honoring her granddaughter, Miss Sharon O'Shea, a bride of the near future. Well, the Club championship got off to a roaring start last Sunday, although some of the pre-tournament favorites didn't score as wMl as they had hoped, due to trouble on the greens trying to get those putts to drop. With any luck at all on the greens I'm sure three or four of the players woUld have been in the high 60's. In any case, here are the results of the first week's competition: A. Jackson 72; Adams 72; Buss 73; Bennett 75; Seepe 75;,Knaack 75; Overton1 76; G. Johnson 85. The fronf runners in the A and B combined itourney are as follows: Nimsgern 66; Marion 67; Gac 68; Rourke 68; Hester 69; F. Johnson 69; Phelan 69. These are net scores after deducting HQ per cent of posted handicaps. By the way, to clear up any confusion which may exist regarding the method of computing the weekly handicap deduction, I will cite a typical example: If the player's handicap is 15, you would multiply the number by four, giving him a total of 60. Now, by adding 10 per cent to that figure we get 66 strokes for the four week period. So that a week by week tally can be kept on the results, we deduct 17 strokes the first two weeks and only 16 strokes the next two weeks. In some instances, there may be players who get an extra shot on the first week only, while some may get an extra shot the first three weeks. All in all, this is the HILDA M. PEARSON Last rites were conducted in Chicago last Thursday for Mrs. Hilda M. Pearson of Wonder Lake, a former Chicago resident. She died July 26. Burial was in Oak Hill cemetery. Survivors include a daugh- j ter. Alyce Lee, one grandchild j and a sister, IVtVs. Arthur Lange. j BERYL WOODWARD Mrs. Beryl M. Colby Wood- j ward, 34, formerly of McHen-1 ry, died Tuesday, Aug. 2, at j Silver Cross hospital, Joliet. i She was a native of jhis j community, where she was born March 18, 1926, daughter | of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond L. j Colby, who now reside in i Woodstock. ' Besides her parents, she ; leaves her husband, John and a daughter, Terry Lee, both of Joliet; four' brothers and two sister's". Services will be held at 10 o'clock Friday from the Blood & Grant funeral home at 112 Richards street, Joliet. Burial will be in Woodland cemetery, McHenry. *¥]atura( <jCoohinff Jdta ir d^eauty IS V ^ ® B Tour Q7Uiae to Loveliness Call us today for an appointment The Claire Beauty Shoppe 200 S. Green St. Ph.
