The tale had its start the very day of the storm, when a gusty wind blew off Dobyns' hat as he' walked out of his place of employment With the government at Great Lakes. No amount of running could trace down the missing chapeau as it glanced njerrily along over the snow. After a time the owner gave it up as a lost cause. With many weeks of winter still ahead, a new purchase was in order, and the next day found the McHenry man sporting a brand new style. Several weeks passed, and the other day as Dobyns entered a local business establishment, the proprietor presented the unbelieving gentleman with his lost hat. Then unfolded the astonishing details of its recovery. It seems that the hat found its way to a spot in front of a nearby legal department of the government, and directly in front of a lady employee who found his name and city sewn inside. Remembering that a girl in that department was keeping company with a young man who works in McHenry, the lady had the hat cleaned and blocked, then gave it to the young girl to give to her friend. The unfolding "drama" took place over a period of several weeks following the storm, with the climax this past week when Dobyns claimed the lost hat. He now has in prospect the title of being the best dressed man in town, with two practically new winter hats and only a few weeks remaining in the season. Last week Tuesday, in spite of a bright sun (which we were too busy to see) and mild breezes (which passed us by as we hurried from one task to another), it seemed like a good day to forget. Nothing good came out of the day. Then Thursday dawned and tfce bright news that someone f&d spied tulip plants peeking through the ground under several feet of snow. It crossed our mind that it must have been someone, at a time like this, ^ho said, "All's right with the Vw\ eiduira DELUXE PORTABLE PROFESSIONAL hair dryer Caresses your Eici? dry quicltiy, efficiently. unKcrmly.

Our good friend and former co-worker looked just great and was enthusiastic over the innumerable duties that have greeted him in his new position. Co-workers here added to his official appearance by presenting him with an attache case which brought a smile of approval to Bill's face. It never hurts to look official, especially when one is confronted with a good sized job. It was a most enjoyable and rewarding evening for those who attended the recital presented in McHenry high school auditorium by some of our most talented young vocalists last Saturday.

Regardless of college choice, each winner will receive a Certificate of Merit in recognition of achievement in the program and potential for higher education, based on high school record and performance cm the qualifying examination. Of the 103 Illinois institutions approved by the commission, ninetyseven have been selected by this year's winners for September, 1967, enrollment. More than 36,000 high school students competed for 1967-68 State Scholarships; 84 percent of all Illinois high schools have winners in this year's program. This is the tenth class of winners to be announced. State Scholarships are renewable annually upon application. Dr. Joseph D. Boyd, executive director of the commission, explained the process by which awards are determined. Students must be United States citizens and Illinois residents of good moral character. After academic qualifications have been met, qualified participants submit their applications for award consideration. Monetary awards provide full or partial payment of tuition and fees to a maximum of $1,000; honorary awards provide an opportunity for monetary assistance in subsequent undergraduate years if the need arises. A detailed need analysis is applied against the data submitted by the monetary award applicant, and includes the specific cost of the approved institution selected by the student. A committee, experienced in the area of financial aid, assists in the evaluation of financial need. Students wishing to participate in the 1968-69 State Scholarship program must be high school graduates by August, 1968, and no earlier than September, 1961. The qualifying examination will be administered by the American College Testing program on two dates: Saturday, May 13, and Saturday, Aug. 5.
