Young fellows are actually anxious to get back. --I-- Most of us have experienced that secret wish that the school would burn to the ground. On other occasions, we have gleamed with joy when the pipe's froze and school was "let out." ^ ' More signs of fall. The bowlerg are holding meetings and making plans for the winter season. -n- The K. of C. league met Monday , night and made plans to have leagues in action at both the Palace and Schaefer's alleys. New interest--more bowling--more exercise--more sport. --I-- Andy Worwick has a hope chest. (All we know is what we hear.) We don't have as much chance as we would like to follow this popular game of tennis that has been going "strong in McHenry.

We're in favor of calling out the Irish rf.vy apd cleaning up the whole mess. We happened in the Palace Alleys this week apd found that Herman and Mike have been doing more than just keeping out of the sun this summer. --I-- The first game of a fi>ve game series between the McHenry and Johnsburg baseball teams will get under w next Sunday on the McHenry diam< Maybe rivalry between the t of McHenry and Johnsburg does reach the high pitch today that was seen in bygone years, but you can expect a battle all the way. The Johnsburg boys have been playing together several years although they are still a very young team. The boys have shown plenty of power in most of their games. They stay in there and svlfjng. Johnsburg is also well set in tlK§"-ffitching department with "Bud" Millw^and Bill Kreutzer. McHenry presents a team in its firsr year of organization. The team started hot, became too cool in midseason, but is back in stride at the present time. Replacing and bolstering several positions has helped the team. The boys are building for next year. In the pitching department, McHenry has little to worry about as long as Clarence Anderson is in stride. Fans who follow the two teams are getting fairly well hopped up about this sferies. It is bound to bring hot games. Two association umpires Will officiate during the series. BIG JIM McMILLEN AND GEORGE DUSEftf STAGE RETURN MATCH When Big Jim McMillen climbs through the ropes at Peg's arena next Friday night, Sept. 1 at routes 54 and 20, he will be facing George Dusette, the French Canadian who gave both Mac and the fans one of the biggest surprises of Lake County wrestling history by earajng a referee's verdict after sixty minutes of thrilling action. Jim emerged broken-hearted after their last bout and begged for another chance against Dusette under any conditions but only sufficient notice to conduct a training schedule. The Antioch farmer is rapidly reaching a climax for his bout and promises that he will make short work of the little fellow who marred his perfect Lake County record. But no fear has been registered in the French Canadian's camp where the muscle man is cracking them unconscious with his full nelson.

Cjt«SNAPSH0T GUILD INFORMAL PORTRAITS •ty Use a portrait attachment to take Informal portrait closa-ups such as this With a box camera or fixed-focus folding modal. SUMMER IS aft ideal season for informal outdpor portraits of your family and glands, and informal portraits are about as easy to take as (any other type of snapshot. Naturally, such infonnal shots are not to be compared with the work ot skilled, experienced professional photographers .. . but, since you tafe them yourself for your own album, they do have unique personal interest. Your infonnal portraits may show One, two, or several persons, grouped naturally -- without stiffness. The subjects should fill most of the picture space; too much background is detrimental. Faces should be turned so that a good likeness is obtained-- whether profile, full-face, or in between-- but as a rule the subjects should not look directly at the camera. ' Two types of lighting are acceptable. Direct sunlight from one side Is all right, but straight-overhead lighting from the noon sun produces harsht displeasing Bhadows. For a softer lighting, and better likenesses, place the subjects in "open ahade"--for example, at the edge of Shade from a big tree, where they Will receive light reflected from the ^|ky, but no direct sun. Informal portraits in direct sunlight require no increase in exposure. In open shade (not under trees or a porch) try an exposure of 1/25 second at f.8 lens opening. With a box camera or inexpensive folding type, use the smallest lens opening, and give a very short time exposure ibout as fast as you can work the shutter--with the camera on a firm, solid support. A focusing camera enables you to take reasonable close-ups without a lens attachment, as well as fullfigure shots. Tou can also take full- . figure shots and group shots with a • box camera if it has a "two-point" focus setting, enabling you to get aa near as Ave or six feet to the subject. But for real close-ups with the inexpensive clmera, you will need a portrait attachment--a small supplementary lens that slips on over the regular camera lens. The attachment does not change the exposure. Often, an informal portrait gains interest if the subject Is busy with some everyday activity--for example, filling a tobacco pipe, If a man,g or crocheting, if a woman. The ac-f tion adds story quality--and tells mor^ about the subject. Concerted action--such as conversation--adds unity to a group picture. Make a collection of good, informal portraits of your friends andfamily. They'll justify a special section in your snapshot album.
