Riverdale, McHenry, involves a lot of hard work for the children and staffers alike--but Wednesday was a day for fun. The camp takes children suffering from such « maladies as cerebral .palsy, muscular dystrophy, congenital disorders and injuries resulting from auto accidents and provides both physical and speech therapy as well as the recreational activities usually associated with a summer camp. Wednesday was a day filled with stageeoach and horse rides, clowns and balloon hats ,ahfl animals. There are two, four-week sessions and' on one day during each of the sessions, mem­ bers of the McHenry Kiwanis club, like Ed Guettler in the clown suit, entertain the children. Physical therapists in the public schools refer children to the camp which has been in operation since 1945.

It was on the advice of her doctor who recommended the little rural community as "the best 4 place" for her to recover from her illness. ffiy the time autumn came, she had won her way into the hearts of parishioners. She stayed on. And now, Sister Andreella is leaving to retire. With the characteristic sparkle in her eye, she summarizes, "I came here to recover 40 years ago. I'm recovered and now I'm going to leave". On Aug. 4, Sister Andreella will leave to make her home in the School Sisters of St. Francis retirement home at Campbellsport, Wis. Although she will no longer be a part of McHenry, she leaves behind a legacy that will forever be a part of the history of St. Mary's church and of Montini school music education.9 Just as important, she leaves behind hundreds of former students whose accomplishments attest to the cultural spark she injected into the community. Memories flood her keen mind as she recalls the early years before McHenry -- Oak Park, St! Paul and Earling, Iowa; St. Lawrence and Holy (*host parishes in Milwaukee; and Aurora. - It is a source of pride that one of her most talented violin students, Jack Wirtz, is now a most successful director of music at Oak Park high school, the city where his instructor had her start. Wirtz and other young violinists she taught were largely responsible for the excellent orchestras McHenry- high school boasted during the 40's and 50's. ~ Has she any regrets about retirement? A seriousness covers her usually smiling countenance. But her unhesitating "No" gives assurance that she means it. "My difficulty was not in choosing retirement but in making a decision on where I wanted to go (to live)", she explains. Once that was made, she confesses, "Now I am at peace". And will she continue to play her beloved organ over which she has displayed such inspirational copimand? Again a resounding "No" as she refers to some painful fingers and a foot that prevents full pedal use. But with enthusiasm one might expect from a young career girl in her first job, sister Andreella leads her visitor to the setting for a new hobby. There is a new sewing machine in one part of the room; in another is a rug she has made, folded neatly in a box. '< "I'm into crafts", she explains,with enthusiasm. As we listened, we found a lesson in her memories - humorous experienced, painful moments of the early years - all contributing to the tremendously useful life of this charming and venerable lady. C She looks back only momentarily. But mostly she looks ahead, to the future of the McHenry church she has served since 1939- And through all the years, what one incident stands out above all tile rest for this "baby" in a family of 12 (three in the religious life) from St. Lawrence, Wis.?
