Did you care for the new kind of leeting that was presented to us for JKp first time Monday? Well, all thac ~ " J have to say is that I did and I think all of the Scouts would say likewise-- ' .but let me describe the meeting!. I As said before, Robert Kilday was , obliged to present to us the "Operi- . J Ing of Meetings." Here's how it was , one. The Scout "Oath and Law" •'^wade us do a little brushing, op to •.sweep the cob-webs from our brain V-fifter a few months absence when the meetings weren't going. But I didn't -hear many mistakes, did you? V '•* The absence of Gordon Granger . didn't cause any trouble. The Scout- " master had a lot of songs in his ^ Biemory for us to sing. The*^couts' 'i ' • motto is "Be Prepared" and heNtas. ' r r '-.^The gang burst out, under Mr. Schoelifcotz' supervision, in that hilarious ^Little Ford" that you'v§ heard about- !'• '.;*s the first song finished, the familiar ^strains of "John Jacob Jinglehiemer >Y' i.Schmitt" came. I don't believe that hall has .ever been so full of <;*,. powerful voices ringing here and / there; Boy! you couldn't even hear * yourself think! Later in the evening 7. "the "WLS Small-shots" sang "Oementine" and the "Man on the Flying '• 1 ^Trapeze" the latter, frying sung for , \'the first time on tWaiiv. .So.'We leave ^ongs and stories.- " ; • : , A couple of years ago we had a bit *v of leather work and handicraft. Just wait and see what you're in for this year. Jack Hess and Don Granger - - haven't organized us into groups at present but prepare for the treat next ' week. - .A Now before r forget, l'et's have a BACON'S * 'STRIP % *ZEKE** BACON few announcement* that'll put the red-blooded boys in a biting finger stage thinking about who will win. Oh, I forgot. We're going to Northwestern to See Marquette put out their best to. battle the Northwestern pick eleven. fWhen? This Saturday at a quarter to twelve sharp! It's up to you to get the transportation. Have the cars reported in by Thursday, while the usual permission slips are to be handed in by noon on Wednes- Mary's of Woodstock day- Well be in for a swell day so be there, on time! * . I was trying to leave myself out-- you know how modest I am--but just can't be done. I gaive the gang a 'little entertainment in a First Aid and Knot Tying contests and Skin-the- Snake. I hope "youse guys" liked them and I think for fun the last game had them all oUtdued. But for education apd safety sake the first two are sure useful. I've got a hunch that George Johnsofi, who was absent and I, will put On these games again, so I advice you to study up on »First Aid and Knots. . Artificial Resesitation was a presensation by the Scoutmaster.' Work on it at home for it is useful to save people's lives. Don't forget th<? counting and the arm action. Remem- {for the MCHS ber Saturday! • i ; , SCOUT HAROLD TAXMAN McHenry High got off on the right foot with an easy victory over St. in the first football game of the season. The weather was far from favorable as it rained most of the day and most of the time the game was being played, which caused numerous spills and fumbles that weren't in the book. Both teams displayed lots of pep though McHenry clearly had the advantage with their superior weight standing out. Two touchdowns in th2 first half after long runs gave McHenry their victory edge. - ATTEND PLAY DAT ' Attorney Walter French attended the annual play dijy of tlje Bar Association at Crystal Lake,) Thursday- Some fifty members joinefl the afternoon program of golf.

In a baptism of rain and niud thf MCHS football squad won their opening game of-the 1934 season froni a light, scrappy St. Mary's eleven by a score of 13-0. Coach Orr was satisfied with an early lead built up in the first half and told his men to stick to straight football in an effort to find out just how much his nien knew, about blocking and tackling. He wasn't altogether satisfied and the result is some hard work this week for all the members of his squad, in preparation for their meeting with the Waukegan "B" squad this Friday afternoon at the local field - Ray Hughe^ arid Tony Wolf, tile latter having replaced, Peterson as quarterback of, the regular squad shortly before the game, scored the touchdowns for McHenry, Hughes taking a punt and running 35 yards for, the first score and Tony galloping about the same distance on a wide end sweep later in the first half. One point was converted successfully. , St. Mary's were. very light, but made up for this with the spirit of the Fighting Irish. They were as green as their 4ers?y$ Were at the start of the game as there was only one StU°Mai?l iS ™°r€ PXPfri^r^?PiHa'yen Twomey, who had ever been m a football game before, considers that they were When one so" light, and.handicapped.by the .mtiddy was in every play on the defense and made more than his share .of tackles. He also was adept at recovering fumbles. Murphy stood out with his kicking ability, the wet ball not hampering him much in this department. Captain Toomey, the only man on the Saints' squad who had played in a game of football before, showed that his experience had stood him in good stead. .BENEFIT DANCE for Lily Lake School ' Saturday Evening, September 29, at .the LILYMOOR CLUB HOUSE* ^ -- Old Time Dances Gents 25 cents - - - Ladles 15 cents The backers ofjtheJSaints still believed in their team even after defeat was a certainty and cheered them to the end which accounts in part for the Spirit of the team all through the game. Father Egan and Father Voet stood through the rain to the finish wile Townsend did a good job of trying to coach from the sidelines. Coach Stuessy was far | from disappointed with their showj ing. Papa Herb Cooney watched his j boy wallow in the mud on the field and said it would do him good. - ~ field which would not allow them to use their speed, then one must realize that they gave the very best they had in putting up some splendid opposition^. Meyers was a standout at center with his defensive work, while Murphy's punting was something to cheer the losers as he got off one 50-yard boot with a wet ball. And he never played before this year. Both* teams came through in 'good shape and Coach Orr is working his men for that Waukegan game as he wants to show Coach Brown just what we have over here- He hasn't as yet found out just what his men can do. when, it comes to handling the ball on a dry day; They fumbled plenty, last week which was to be expected. Given a dry day the boys will be told to go out and win, but if an early lead can be piled up then straight football will be adhered to, but such a chance is quite unlikely. 74^- - Typ«-C«*tinf Machines Though a practical machine for setting founders', type, was invented by a Connecticut Yankee as early as 1822, th® linotype, a type-easting device, which 1* in common use in newspaper offices throughout the United States, was/not Invented until 1885.

" v • fAGLE SCOUTS TELLS OF VISIT TO SPRINGFIELD Richard Vycital, an Eagle Scout, recalls many interesting incidents of his. ten 4ays spent at the state fair at Springfield, which, though bilsy ones, were <€ull. of" moral experiences. In the first place, Richard was a buglar and had to be pretty much on the job, ready to call the Scouts to meals, send them to bed and get them. UP in the morning. . One experience which, will never be forgotten was the forming of an escort for President Roosevelt when he attended the funeral of Congressman Raine/ of Illinois. Each Scout stood at attention at the avenue of flags through which the president walked. The boys aflso visited the state buildings and shook hands with Governor Horner, who invited them aji cause of other duties they 'were un able to accept. , - ; While, at Springfield, Richard took aJJl-mile hike over the same trail as was travelled by Abraham Lincoln. ^ He then read a book about Lincoln «f r which he wrote a review and after meeting these requirements he received a bronze medal from the Abraham t, Lincoln association- These were only a part qjf the Ja-l tresting events which 'he fHtt forget. . » NO HUNTING No - trespassing or public hunting • J., will be allowed on, the James Boyle ~ fp Estate, the same having been leased.

Just what school it was that had men graduating at the semester and had enough drag to get the toufnament switched from the spring to the fall of the year so those men could play another year remains the big mystery. Coach Orr is still bemoaning the fact that he had to try and mix golf with football as it just can't , be done. He wanted to see some of his men qualify for the state this year, but the chances have gone glimmering. Too bad, boys, but such is life- The first boxing card at th^ Bridge wafinife--fcajf bad, in fact, it was a whole lot D^ter thian moat of the locs »l| fans expected as, somehow or other, they always expect the McHenry shows to be a lot poorer thar. those they travel a distance to witness. That "See America First" slogan could well be changed to "See McHenry's First." The only objection to the whole affair wasn't the bouts themselves, but the . lack of organization on the part of those running the fights, but it was only the firsts how and there are certain things that just c&n't be foreseen and the next shows will most likely be run closer to schedule. There will, according to the announcements, be shows at the Bridge every Friday night, so put that clown in your'date tooks. Bill Bacon and Pfannenatill took the honors of having the first bout on the card and Pfannenstill won on a technical knockout when Bill found that it takes more than brute strength to last three rounds. He .might have had the. ejdge in the early rounds, but a few blows over the heart and the old lack of condition began to tell. The next few bouts were just ordinary but there was enly one that was below par and that was a substir tute fight. Then came the intermission that was followed by two fiveround tigfits and they were both corkers. Fred Alton beat Kranovill 1 in the first one, which was a slugring match at 166 pounds. Then In , t ht* last bout of the card Menisci, Gol- <ii'ii Gloves winner, was forced to take thu bad end of the .deciskm which | was won by a sprightly little colored la,I from Chicago. That dark flash was right in the pink and could hay* Lro?ie five more rounds. He was well trained and had a pretty weave and could hit for his weight, though Menisci was hard to lay a glove on. It was mighty close to being a draw, but the AAU says that a decision must be given at the end of the scheduled three or five rounds so thert could be no draw. and ^1,-27 and 28; Nov. 3 and 4, 10 and il.'H and 18, 24 and 25; Dec. 1 and 2, S and 9, 15 and 16, 22 and 23, 29 and 30; Jan. 5 and 6, 12 and 13.

I've spent pounds and pounds on heating arrangements, but wherever I sit m>\ hair is blown all over my head. Can't ^ you do something about it?'
