The contest, which was begun in March, was open to all students en- --rather it will find itself and rise to the occasion, just as it always has in the past. The Spanish-American war and the World war are examples of this unity rising out of chaos. And both were won hy morale, just as this war will be. / Andrew Koby, Jr. Andrew E. Kuby, Jr., 21 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Kuby of West McHenry, yesterday received the $1,000 American Academy in Rome award for architecture.

Its purpose was to gain Student expression on the subject of the college student in war time. Second and third prize winners were also freshifien at the university. Miss Pries' essay was entitled "Morale Wins a War." The Plaindealer Is pleased to print the essay in full, as follows: Morale Wins a War What one factor is it that determines the course of a war? Two nations fight -- they seem equally matched. Their battles come to a climax. Then one side or the other consistently win^. What determines which side it is ? It's the morale of i other than their wives. Her Lovliness, Queen of Funland, is to be selected by her fun-loving subjects in a lively and friendly voting contest arranged by McHenry Post, American Legion, as a feautre of its 1942 carnival now being arranged as a "Bigger and Better" one this year in the Legion park here July 2 to 5. The chosen queen is to reign for a year and receive a $25 order on Betty Nelson's temple of temptation for the cult of feminine finery.

Those twenty are Paul Bonslett, Jr., Mary Douglas, Daniel Edstrom. George Goranson, Howard Grant, William Guffy, Herbert Johnson, Agnes Miller, Dorothy McGuiggan, Jean Nickels, Lucille Nickels, Margaret Olson, Elida Page, Thomas L. Phalin. Kathryn Schwerman, Lois 'Voeltz, Roger Wilbrandt, Donald Passfield and Ruth Maynard. As has been the custom the past few years, two of these eighth grade students, a boy and a girl, are chosen by the teachers of the three upper Trades to receive the American Legion school awards. This selection was made la«t week and the names of the winners were announced at a special award meeting last Friday morning. The awards were made very appropriately by Paul Yanda, who besides being music instructor at the school, is also an active member of the Legion post in McHenry. Special Awards The presentation of these medals is designed to place emphasis on the development of character and scholar* ship in school pupils. For leading in the necessary requirements to become winner of the young man's awards namely, honor, courage, scholarship^ leadership and service, Larry Phalen yas presented with an attractive medal. I In recognition of the admirable' dualities which are intended to distinguish the winner of the girl's award; courage, character, companionship, service and scholarship. Kathryn Schwerman was given a medal similar to that of Larry Phalen. In view of the fact that both of these young people have been class leaders not only in scholastic standing but also in the athletic and musical fields, selection of them for these coveted awards warf "tandoubtedly a wise one. Besides these special winners of the two most eagerly-awaited selections, other awards were made at last Friday's meeting. School boy patrol awards were made to Larry Phalen, captain; Dan Edstrom, lieutenant; Walter Richardson. Harry Mueller. Robert Miller, Richard Baum, Carl Neiss and Gerald Lawson. These EXCELLENT CLASS fU7 IS ENACTED BY A FINE CAST Something different from the usual three-act comedies was presented by the senior class at the high school last Friday evening. "A letter To The General" with its timely bit of patriotism woven throughout the pla>, was considered by many as the best presented here in many years. In their snappy military uniform*, the boys made various impressions on; the large audience. Middle-aged men returned in reminiscence to their own army days and chuckled over the sight of Joseph Jackson as a private on K. P. duty; the younger boys watched in wide-eyed interest at the authority of the Company Commander, Edmund Lay while feminine hearts, young and old, skipped a beat at the handsome appearance of the young men in their uniforms. While it would be impossible to pick out the part most realistically portrayed, the enactments of George Freund and Betty Ann Coyne in two of the less glamorous roles, were especially commendable and provided much of the, humor of the play. Two selections by the orchestra, directed by Paul Yanda, preceded the play and vocal selections by Marguerite Freund, soprsgp, and Warren Jones, baritone, provided a special treat for the audience between pet*.

TWO FROM HERE T0 RECEIVE DECREES, STATE UNIVERSITY McHenry residents will be pleased to find that according to word aent The Plaindealer this week, two more young men have been added to the list printed last week of those fromthis vicinity receiving degrees at the various colleges and universities. Receiving degrees from the Uni versity of Illinois next Monday (June 1) will be two students from McHenry and nearby. The university's seventy-first annual commencement will be at 9 a. m. ia George Huff gymnasium. President Arthur Cutts Willard will speak, and will confer some 2,000 baccalaureate degrees and 500 advanced degrees. Baccalaureate services will be at 4 p. m. Sunday, with Dr. Louis L. Mann, Rabbi ot Chicago Sinai Congregation, speaking. Both commencement and baccalaureate services will be broadcast by the university's radio station, WILL (580 kc.). The commencement originally was scheduled for June 15, but was advanced two weeks when the university accelerated its program in the war effort by eliminating the Easter vacation and condensing the final examination period. For students in the University's Colleges of Medicine, Dentistry, and ' harmacy, located in Chicago, a separate commencement will be held June 12 in the Chicago Civic Opera House. President Willard will speak and confer approximately 360* degrees. Students from McHenry and nearly who will receive degrees at the commencent there are Guy ACTIVITIES OF SENIOR GLASS GOME TO CLOSE GRADUATION PROGRAM IS MAY 29 {These filled last few weeks 0#' school, as they are with the various closing activities, are a dream to the thirty-seven seniors of this year's graduating class; a dream from which they will awaken tomorrow evening to find themselves entering a new and completely different life. So filled are the last days that they have hardly had time to even begUt to realize what is in store for them as they receive their diplomas Friday evening. To a few, the thought of finishing school is always something to regard only with pleasure and no regrets. For the most part, however, especially among those who have striven to the best of their ability to procure everything possible from their opportunity to attend school, there is a definite reluctance in leaving pleasant associations acquired through the years. For with few exceptions, life is pleasant or unpleasant as we maiu. it for ourselves. It is true that natural talent plays a part in making life easier, but with the proper spirit and a pleasing personality there are few who cannot make a place for themselvees and acquire a wide circle of friends. Banquet After a very successful senior class fplay on Friday evening, the members of that class Were most royally entertained by the juniors at a banquet held at the Crystal Lodge in Crystal Lake on Saturday night. A delicious chicken dinner was served at 7:30 while Charles Adams acted as the genial master of ceremonies throughout the evening. Short talks were given by Bill Bolger, president of the junior class, Bill Sho«. maker, president of the senior class and also by Pvt. George Mitchell and Mrs. Mitchell. A vocal trio, composed of George Freund, Joseph Jackson and Gordon Scholle, provided the musical entertainment, including a patriotic selection among their numbers. It was agreed by all that th« juniors did a fine job of entertaining their upper classmen. Baccalaureate On Sunday, May 24, solemn baccalaureate services were held in the high school auditorium. Following the senior processional, played by the orchestra with two selections, "Onward Ye People" and "Oh Praise Ye The Lord." The speaker of the evening, Rev. Frank Miller of Warren, former assistant pastor of St. Mary's ohurch here, gave a most inspinng talk to the graduating class. He uiT®a them in these troubled times to discern between the principles of the American way of life which are worth saving and those which should be discarded. He recalled the struggles of the framers of the constitution and how those COUNTY TAXES IN / 1941 ARE LOWER McHeiu/ county was one of twelve Illinois counties having a population" of from 30,000 to 40,000 in which 1941 taxes (payable this year) to support all activities of the county government were less than those of 1940, according to a survey released last week" by the Taxpayers' Federation of Illinois, . : : • There are fourteen Counties in this population classification. Two of them, Bureau (and Montgomery,; showed increases over 1940. The survey further showed that while McHenry county was seventh in population within the group, it was fourth in the amount of county taxes. Thfe total amount of county taxes in McHenry county is $157,278 for 1941, compared with $169,126 for 1940, a decrease of $11,848. It should u. "pointed out, however, that McHenry county taxes for mothers' pensions were $10,245 for 1940, nothing for 1941. The state of Illinois, under the aid to dependent children legislation, has assumed support of needy mothers and children which previously was paid for by the county. The county government is only one of 189 governing bodies in McHenry county with authority to levy taxes. VOELTZDENIED RIGHT TO DRIVE < HERE FOR YEAR WORD DOMES OF DEATH OF TWO!
