The three groups contributed a total of approximately $2,500 to assist the Student Council in its project to make needed improvements in the school's gymnasium. By Inga I think if anyone asked me to do a knee bend or go snowmobiling I'd seriously have to think twice before answering. The past two and a half weeks my husband and I have been snowmobiling in the northern part of Wisconsin. Our first trip took us back to Boulder Junction and Sayner, Wis. We snowmobiled some of the old standby trails like the Northern Highland Trail and others. The couple we went with knew the area like the back of their hand and after a few days of getting used to our machines again and loosening stiff muscles we started to explore the many, many miles of local snowmobile trails. One was the American Legion Tra ' leading to St. Germain, a 4* mile round trip from Sayner. With over 25 inches of snow and excellent weather our snowmobiling was exceptional. If any of our readers are The Harrison school Student Council accepted checks amounting to nearly $2,500 last Friday from three groups which responded to a need for improvements in the school's gymnasium. The plan, which calls for removal of the present stage, installation of collapsible bleachers and purchase of mobile, collapsible staging, is a project of Student Council and is receiving widespread community support. With these improvements, capacity will increase by 200 for basketball games and total capacity will swell to 500 for music, graduation and other programs. The teachers earned in ex­ cess of $500 by sponsoring a very successful dance at Christ the King Church on Saturday, Feb. 19. Earlier on that same day, the Parent Teacher Association held its annual Fun Fair at the school and earned $500 toward the project. "The Harrison Athletic Boosters, through direct solicitation of patrons of the school, have raised more than $1,300, said Treasurer Allan Vogt, and we have enough remaining outstanding pledges to put us over our goal of $1,500." The Harrison Athletic Boosters is an organization recently formed to enable friends of the school to help in ways that ordinary tax income cannot provide for. An Alumni group, high-school division, is now being formed, and will probably open with a sock hop some time in March. Recent graduates of Harrison, who would like to take part in the formation of such a group, are urged to call the school (3- 2311) Hospital Notes McHENRY HOSPITAL During the week patients admitted to McHenry hospital included Harry Rodgers, Lynn Lund, David Wagner, Patricia Paddock, Sherry Higgins, William J.

DENNIS CONWAY 3315 West em St. McHenry 385"7111 S T A T E F A R M I N S U R A N C E STATE FARM LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY HOME OFFICE: BLOOMINGTON, ILLINOIS familiar with the area, we even tried conquering Muskie Mountain, which is a fun day all by itself. At St. Germain we found a local tavern that had a unique way to serve dinner. You bring your own steaks or other kind of meat, charcoal them on their gas fired grill .inside and for a very small charge they serve you the baked potato, salad bar, coffee and dessert. Something dif­ ferent for the snowmobiler. We found excellent trails leading to Land O Lakes and Archdales, again about a 35 mile round trip. Well marked trails led us through a breathtaking pine forest that had just been covered with snow fall the night before. When things got a little routine and the men wanted excitement we tried a little trail blazing. This meant digging machines out of 5 ft., snow drifts many times and won­ dering if it was worth it after all the huffing and puffing. But then we'd just fall back into the deep snow, lying there laughing and thinking what idiots we were. Naturally the men fared better than the ladies on these trail blazing trails. The town's people treat the snowmobilers with great respect and are always there when you need help Tired and aching from head to foot from a week of hard riding, but with a contented feeling we headed home for a few days. Just long enough to wash clothes and repack them for an exciting io day trip to the Apostle Islands with the Harmony Snowmobile club. "Hie Apostle Islands are located at the uppermost part of Wisconsin along the peninsula that jogs out into Lake Superior. The snowmobile club holds in annual week long snowmobile safari for their members. The two previous years the club flew out to Yellowstone National Park to snowmobile around Old Faith- fu. This year the Apostle Islands were selected, twenty- four families and forty machines made the 9 hour trip to Bayfield, Wis. Bayfield was selected because of its ac­ commodations for the large group and its location which is excellent for island hopping the A p o s t l e s . H a r m o n y Snowmobile Club took over the whole Bayfield Inn which became our home away from home for 10 adventurous days. There is much to tell about the trip so I'm only going to touch on the highlights in today's column and go into more detail next week. The | SPORTS FANS! s > BET I YOU I DIDN'T j KNOW Brought To You By John Jepsen Here's one that's hard to ! believe...But, it's true... I Two of the greatest pro basketball players of all- time, Bob Cousy and Bob I Pettit FAILED to make 1 their high school basket- | ball teams...Both were cut I from their squads in their high school days!....It I seems incredible, but it's been confirmed by the Nat- | ional Basketball Assoc - Iiation...And it proves again that truth is some- I times stranger than fict­ion. I I I Alabama..A player named Walter Garrett scored 97 I Has any basketball player ever scored all his team's points in one game?..This amazing feat happened once in a high school game in points in one game a few seasons ago, and the final score in that game was 97-54! Bayfield Snowmobile Club was of great help to us. Two of their members are registered guides. John Bock and Barry Kendall guided our group for the entire stay. As we snowmobiled through the islands they gave us many historical facts, showed us things the unguided snowmobiler would miss. We visited an inn that was the northern most building in the State of Wisconsin, located on Sandy Pt. Beach, the moun­ tains of Minnesota could be seen. While we were there at Bayfield the Chamber of Commerce had its annual fish boil, and the second annual snowmobile safari. We snowmobiled many times to the largest of the Islands called Madeline. This is the only one that is completely built up with homes, yacht club, restaurants, etc. Many miles of beautiful snowmobiling was done there It's located about 4 miles from the mainland. Our guides toured us to Sand Island, York, Raspberry, Hermit, Oak and Basswood Island The Inland Trails led us to Valhalla which is the entrance to Chequamegon National Forest with many miles of marked trails. About 12 miles north of Washburn, Mt.' Valhalla was built as a ski hill in 1935, but 1 now if s used primarily for snowmobilers. The rustic chalet is open to public without charge and there are about 150 miles of marked trails and 1200 miles of un­ marked trails, logging roads and unplowed roads. Our stay at the Apostle Islands will be long remem­ bered. A condition we en­ countered while snowmobiling the Islands was called "Slush". It's a word that will be long remembered by the members of the Harmony Snowmobile Club. I'll give more details next week, but those snowmobilers experienced on riding the lakes in the northern part of Wisconsin know it's nothing to take lightly. It snowed almost all the time we were there and I don't think I'd be overestimating if I said there was 3 to 4 ft pf snow on the ground. One member's machine completely disappeared with only the tip of the windshield showing while trail blazing one morning.
