Plan Anniversary Reunion Appearing Oct. 10th Johnsburg Community Club Dance 9:00 PM to 1:00 AM For The Benefit of The McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce $3 00 DONATION CASUAL DRESS Mrs. Mae Marty Stinespring (center), honored as McHenry'# "Woman off the Year" la lflf, seems quite contented as she sits with Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Olson, of Antloch, at the final committee meeting prior to the fiftieth annual reunion Oct. 11 of the 1IM graduating class of Carl Schurz high school, Chicago. The reunion will he held In the North Shore Hilton, Skokie. Mrs. Stinespring, the reunion chairman who was vice-president of the class, has reason to he contented because on Sept. 21 an attendance of 228 persons was assured. The crowd Is typical of previous reunions of the old grads who call themselves the "class that refused to say goodbye." • Classmates who refused to say goodby-the graduates of Carl Schurz high school in June, 1930-hold their fif­ tieth anniversary reunion Oct. 11 in the North Shore Hilton, Skokie. It will be another in a long series of get-togethers by the class dating back to 1932. Unlike most classes whose reunions get spread farther apart or vanish completely with the passing of the years, the 1930 Schurzites held more frequent reunions. And the crowds get bigger. There'll be about 250 on hand for the Oct. 11 event. At the time of the twenty- fifth anniversary, the class decided to meet every five years, but this wasn't enough, and an extra one was added in April, 1978. The class has become so tightly knit that a continuing committee, whose meetings resemble social events, is always at work. Any classmate can join. It's spearheaded by Mrs. Mae Marty Stinespring of McHenry, the class vice- president. She is the widow of Harry P. Stinespring Jr., who was class president and, as all-state left halfback, helped bring to Schurz the city high school football championship. Another activity welding 1930 classmates together is Sigma Alpha Zeta fraternity, born the day after graduation. It held its own f i f t i e t h a n n i v e r s a r y celebration recently and is still going strong. Celebration of the old grads' milestone will begin Friday afternoon, Oct. 11, when a good-sized delegation will tour their alma mater at Addison street and Milwaukee avenue. It will be a time for nostalgia, as will the following morning when the old schoolmates will hop aboard one of those double- decker buses they rode so often as youths, and take a long tour. A hospitality room will be set up in the hotel, mainly to provide entertainment for some 30 or more out-of- towners who will descend on Chicago for the event. The big event, a dinner, will come on the evening of the eleventh featuring a program, aimed at sociability and fun. "It will be a happy time reliving those high school days," Mrs. Stinespring mused. "It's not hard at all to grow a little older when you can look at all those happy faces and reflect on the achievements of so many of them. We have many notables of whom we can be justifiably proud."
