\ FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Aug. 18, 1927) Jack Walsh, McHenry* s popular and efficient marshall and recently appointed deputy sheriff under sheriff Cyrus Sanford, Was presented with a gold star on Monday afternoon by a number of friends. It comes to him after thirty-three years of service to the public of McHenry. The Streuh sanitarium and grounds located at Orchard Beach on the Fox River north of McHenry, have been sold to Bruce Sterling, who recently purchased Howell's Villa, near the Chaplel Hill Country club. This piece of ground is to be subdivided by Kent and Company and the Shalimar, which means, "Beautiful Garden" in East Indian, has been chosen for the name of this subdivision. The big barn, granary and machine shed on the John Carey farm about a half mile west of Smith's Corners were destroyed by fire. The blaze started from a bolt of lightning which struck the barn during the severe electrical storm. Dinner guests in the home of Mrs„ B. Frisby on Sunday included her six daughters, who had not all been together for several years. Those present were Miss Anna Frisby, Mrs. Nellie Bacon and Mrs. Mollie Givens of this city, Mrs. Margaret Hitchcox of Rockford, Mrs. John Walsh of; Fox Lake and Mrs. Walter Warner of Elgin. W.P. Woodburn, the proprietor of the Central Market, has purchased the house on Waukegan street owned by William Welch. Miss Lulu Colby, 53 years old, of Cherry street, Elgin, died Aug. 13. M'ss Colby spent much of her early life in this vicinity, having lived on a form near McCullom Lake and later as a resident of McHenry. That the 18 hole golf course at the McHenry Country club is gaining in popularity is evident by the steady increase in registrations. The new nine holes are in excellent condition for the short time they have been in use, while the old nine retains its wonderful condition.

"Mac" McCracken defeated Adele Froehlich on the local courts last Sunday in the finals and is now the proud possessor of a beautiful trophy designating him as county tennis champ.' A beautiful wedding was solemnized Aug. 5 in St. John's church in Johnsburg when Miss Bernice Diedrich became the bride of Mr. Clarence Etten. "The nearest one can get to heaven on earth" is the way one witness described the field of oats across the Fox river with the steeple of St. John's church in the background and an August sun streaming down i?>on the shocks. The field which has been farmed continuously for the last eighty years by the ; same family is still producing record yields. One hundred years ago the grandfather of Anton M. Schmitt of Johnsburg purchased the late John Miller land south of the new Johnsburg bridge from the government and later the land directly across the river which contains the oat field. -4 TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Aug. 8, 1957) Sports Editor Earl R.

A total of 754 were conferred by President Leslie A. Holmes, of which 493 were graduate cbgrees and 261 bachelor's degrees. Dr. Robert I. White, president of Kent, Ohio, State university, delivered the commencement address. Madelynn J.Mai strom received her B.S.E. degree in Eiiglish. Others were Elmer A.

Parents, on the other hand, gave it only 63 percent approval while 40 percent of the schools represented already have adopted this type of school building planning. Difference of attitudes may be traceable in part to the greater consciousness.of school board members to the increasing need for flexibility in the size of classrooms. As a matter of fact, the school house withotit walls -- with floor plans so flexible and with furniture easily moveable -- is on the ascendancy, according to the Educational Facilities Laboratories. Team teaching, for one thing, which has a tendency to eliminate the need for "home rooms" of fixed size, functions more efficiently under the more modern styles of school architecture. And, as school board members know perhaps better than parents, the' flexibility of moveable partitions may well lead to savings. When sizes of classes vary, changes may be required in the rooms provided for them.
