PAGE 16 - PLAINDKALER - WEDNESDAYJFEBRUARY 9, I9g3^ WONDER LAKE Anne Sowers 653-9549 Two Outstanding School Leaders We are very fortunate to have two wonderful schools in our community. On the east side of the lake we have Harrison school with students ranging from kindergarten to eighth grade. On the west side, we have Greenwood school where students attend from kindergarten through fifth grade. Excellent teaching staffs make them great^ but what makes them special is the two men who are their mainstay. Dr. Jones, superintendent of Harrison school, is admired throughout the community. His tenderness, sincerity, and love for his students is felt by everyone, even those of us who have no students at­ tending his school. He takes an active part in the community and is well liked by all his associates. Bill Schuette, principal of Green­ wood school is an unforgetable man. Students enjoy his clos#contact with them and it is never surprising to see WHAT S NEW Time is running out for... HOT discounts ...on FS Buildings, Grain Systems and accessories.

It is never a threat of misconduct to be sent to this prin­ cipal's office! His lov«e of the Green Bay Packers is a constant source of respectful teasing by thi.e children and parents. Both of these men know every student and parent and call them by name. Past students as well as present ones. We are certainly lucky to have such fine educatoris in our community.

It has only been the last few weeks that local people have become interested in this pastime, but at Christmas time a few were received and there were enough puzzles to do the trick, but the demand has spread and they are being rented, purchased or borrowed to satisfy the puzzle fans. The Junior class play, "Depend On Me", was presented at the local high school auditorium with a well filled house of interested parents and friends. Strawberries in February are now being sold in local stores and the large, luscious berries which are frozen, are being shipped from Florida. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of February 4, 1943) A $1,000 goal has been set this past week for the people of McHenry to reach when the Red Cross war drive begins March 1. Ray McGee has been appointed local chairman for the drive and C.J. Reihansperger has been general local Red Cross chair­ man since his election several months ago. It is not surprising that the county goal is set at $10,000 this year, for there are many demands being made upon the Red Cross. Sgt. Curtis Newman has been stationed at Jefferson Barracks, Mo., and has been temporarily transferred to Fort Logan, Colo., where he is undergoing a month's special training, attending the Ad­ ministrative Inspector's school. There he is doing accounting in the post inspector's office, for which he prepared in college. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of February 6, 1958) One of the most acute problems facing the city - both the Council and the Chamber of Commerce - is the growing need for more adequate parking facilities. Everyone knows its seriousness, but only those who have studied the problem thoroughly can realize just how difficult it is to solve. The building program at the high school has temporarily interfered with parking facilities there. The conditions were not too serious until the recent snow storms, which have made any amount of parking in the rear of the building impossible. There will be one-way parking on Main street and Green street near the school for the remainder of the winter. The 1969 "good citizen" award sponsored by the national society, Daughters of the American Revolution, has been awarded to Miss Patti Blake, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert S. Blake. Miss Dorothea Miller, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. "Chuck" Miller, has been named the Homemaker of Tomorrow in McHenry. She received the highest score in a written examination on homemaking knowledge and attitudes. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of February 7, 1973) April 17 is the date of the election to fill three positions as trustees for the new village of McHenry Shores. One vacancy exists through a resignation. Also the terms of Donald Henderlong and Ed Olbinski expire. The petitions must be returned by Feb. 12. Preliminary plans for Marine Festival 1974 unfolded as chairmen gathered for a discussion meeting. Bill Nye will again head the queen contest and will be assisted by the V.F.W. auxiliary. Anthony Corcoran, executive director of McHenry hospital, was added to the board following ex­ pansion to 12 members at the annual hospital meeting held at the Country club.

The plants raised at the depart­ ment's two state nurseries, will be sold at cost to state chartered organizations, such as Lions clubs, 4- H clubs, Jaycees and other public service groups which will distribute the seedlings to elementary schools for educational Arbor day activities. The seedlings will be sold on a first- come, first-served basis, and must be used for educational programs in­ volving school children from six to 13 years of age, Mickelson said. Tree orders should be placed by April 1 in order to insure delivery in time for Arbor day, April 29. Orders must be for a minimum of 250 trees and be accompanied by a letter explaining the sponsoring agency's program. Order blanks and price lists are available from DOC regional offices, county agriculture and extension advisors, the Soil Conservation Service or Agriculture Stabilization and Conservation service, Mickelson said. Information also may be ob­ tained by contacting the Department of Conservation, Division of Forest Resources and Natural Heritage, 524 S. Second street, Springfield, 62706, phone (217 ) 782-2361.
