Each girl was then asked to answer a prepared question so the jud­ ges could evaluate her poise and confidence. The four judges then retired for what turned out to be a long deliberated session. The ten­ sion mounted noticeably when it was announced that for the second time in two years the judging was deadlocked. After a tense 35-minute wait, the five contestants were brought back on stage to hear the de­ cision. Judy 0'Donne 11, an attractive redhead, was chosen as second runner-up. Miss O'Donne 11 re­ ceived a bouquet of pink roses and a $15 check from the fire department. First runner- up was Kathy Kroncke. Miss Kroncke also received flowers and a check from the depart­ ment.

Mrs. Lockwoodsuf­ fered a broken nose in the ac­ cident. All the injured were taken to McHenry hospital. Lakemoor police officers are still inves­ tigating the accident. Only one man was injured in five car accidents which oc­ curred in the McHenry area over the weekend, according to reports from the .McHenry i ounty sheriffs department. Robert C. Kramer, Wood­ stock, was taken to Woodstock Memorial hospital after his - car rolled on Draper road, one mile southwest of McHenry, on July 27. Apparently, Kramer could not control his car as it rounded a left-hand turn in the road. Skidding off the curve, the car bounced into several trees and tore into 60 feet of barbed wire fence owned by Dennis Rich, 1220 N. Draper road. Kramer's auto rolled complete­ ly over and came to rest upon its roof. When sheriff's deputies found it, the car was approximately 15 feet from the shoulder of the road. While searching for any passengers, three men from the sheriffs department, Dep­ uty Krueger, Sgt. Huseas and Detective Woods administered first aid and tried to get in­ formation from Kramer. The injured man could only tell them that he was alone when the accident occurred. An am­ bulance took Kramer to the hospital. To avoid a head-on collis­ ion, Joseph Keefe, Round Lake, ran his car off the Johnsburg- Wilmot road into a ditch and a wire fence on July 27. Accord­ ing to Keefe, he was driving south on the road when he saw two other cars in the noi bound lane. Suddenly, one ofl oncoming cars veered into lane. Keefe turned his car sharp­ ly to the side. As the other" car passed, Keefe's auto ran into the ditch ami tore down 18 feet of wire nresh fence and two posts belonging to William Schmidt, 1214 jMain street, Spring Grove. Neither Keefe nor his passenger was injured. Another accident occurred on Wilmot road when the steer­ ing apparatus of an antique car driven by Roger B. Hoehne, RR 1, Box 20, Spring Grove, failed.. Twenty feet of wire fenc­ ing was damaged when Hoehne's 1931 coupe ran off the road on July 26. The driver lost control when he was suddenly unable to steer the car. The fence which the car struck was owned by Charles Hutchsing.Rt. 1, Spring Grove. Hoehne was uninjured. Two people were not in their cars when the vehicles were involved in accidents. Karl E. Krysa, Prospect Heights, had parked his car along East Won­ der Lake road on July 26. As he walked away, Krysa heard the crunch of metal as Robert J. Fitzl, 9210 Vine avenue, Wonder Lake, backed his car into the parked vehicle, Again on July 26, Mildred A. Landburg, 4418 E. Wonder Lake road, parked her car in her driveway and left the motor > running. When she went back to turn the ignition off, she saw the car roll down the drive and strike a tree. STEAL ARTICLES Stereo tapes and a purse were stolen from the car of Mrs. Clarence J. Wojtynek, 3103 S. Woods, McHenry.

As for previous concerts, we managed to stop as long as time would permit to enjoy some very beautiful musical sounds. This is a band with talent to spare, and likes of which are not available to many commun­ ities the size of McHenry. Next June seems far in the future when we consider the length of time we must wait for another series of concerts. Remembering this, we will at­ tempt to keep those favorite tunes humming in the back of our mind as long as possible.
