Green St. McHenry Phone 385-0098 BETHEL 98 Last Thursday, May 13, was one of the most unusual and exciting nights that Libby Stinespring, Honored Queen, reigned over. It was Mothers and Dads Night, and the "claiming" of the adopted dads. The evening began with a pot-luck supper for almost 100 guests and members. Boxes of corsages labeled 1 "Adopted Daughter" were eagerly and enthusiastically claimed by the girls/ waiting to reveal themselves. A group of songs were sung, by Sandi Fairchild, Libby Stinespring, JoAnn Weichmann and Donna Weichmann. while the delicious food rapidly disappeared. When everyone gathered upstairs. the interpretation of "The Lord's Prayer" Was presented by Ruth Lightner, Laurie Murray, Lorilee Klontz, Lynn Hammerstein, Vickie Lagios, Karen Larson and Libby Stinespring. The meeting followed. Libby, had selected special guests of honor for the evening: Mrs. Henry Johnson, past guardian of Bethel 16; Guy Henderson, past supreme and past grand associate guardian, and past associate guardian of Bethel 16. These friends have special meaning for Libby, since they were at Bethel i6 when her mother, Mrs. Harry Stinespring, was honored queen of Bethel 16, Chicago. Sharing the joy with these honored guests were friends who came all the way from Chicago: Libby's grandmother, Mrs. M. J. Marty; Mrs. O. VonWerder, Mrs. C. Klage, Mrs. A. Adrainson, and Mrs. Henderson from Wonder Lake. All these guests had been active in Bethel 16. What a wonderful example of the meaning of friendship! Mrs. Carol Schaetzlein, grand guardian of the state of Illinois, also sat in the East, and was given special recognition. The adopted dads sat together-- all twenty-one -- waiting to discover who it was who had done so many thoughtful and gay little acts of affection during these past few months. At last the "big moment" arrived. Laurie Murray, chairman, welcomed and thanked the "dads", then all the girls lined up in back of her. Each was given a carnation, and to the music of "Hello, Dolly", they marched singing "Hello, Daddy". When the music ended each girl stood in front of Orient , MARRIAGE: LICENSES ^ErnestS.
