Many activities have been suggested for the week of Feb. 7 to 13. One of these suggestions which the McHenry troop is carrying out is the wearing of scout uniforms during the week. Boy Scout week is also an ideal time for rallies, demonstrations and exhibits and this was also put on by the McHenry troop at their meeting Monday night at the high school gym. The local troop is composed of about thirty scouts and ranks as one of the three best troops in the county. It has more Eagle Scouts than any of the other troops with three members who have attained this highest rank in scouting, being ML.

Charles Urbach 102 Register , * From County High Schools With many important national and local elections within this calendar year, in­ cluding the Junior college bond referendum, a young voter registration drive was spon­ sored last week in three area high schools. The Woodstock-McHenry League of Women Voters, in cooperation with McHenry County Junior college, arranged for deputy registrars to be available in the schools during student lunch hours. Student and teacher par­ ticipation was enthusiastic and influenced greatly the success of the drive. Registration was as follows: McHenry high school, West campils, 63, Woodstock Community high school, 16; and Marian Central high school, 23. Many students living in the Woodstock area had previously registered at the court house, which accounts for the lower numbers in that area. and W.
