As a result of the accident, a navy ensign was killed and hi? student passenger injured. It was one of two navy plane mishaps in the county that afternoon. Sighting a small navV training plane plunge through Public Service high tension wires six miles east of Crystal Lake and catapult beneath the waters of the Fox River directly behind his farm home, Paul Behan, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Behan, rowed to the wrecked machine and dragged both men from the cockpits where they were trapped. Thi' pilot, 'Ensign Robert K. Everett, 22, of 1102 Dempster street, Evanston, was killed and his passenger Marien Sergt. John P. Nolan, 25, of 620 -Glenview avenue* Highland Park, was injured to the extent of a brain concussion and a broken nose. Members of the Crystal Lake fire department and physicians were called and worked for hours over the body of Ensign Everett but all efforts to revive him were futfle. Plane Flying Low Witnesses of the accident said the navy plane was following the Fox river, flying thirty-five feet above the water., ~ They were, uncertain as to whether the plane struck the power cable above or below its level. After the plane plunged into the river, the motor became lodged in the mud, with the tail of the machine standing above water level. The cockpits of the machine were partially submerged. When the Cffystal Lake youth, who is holder of the state record in the discus event, reached the wreckage, Sergt. Nolan was attempting to free himself. Behan giTve him aid, safely placed him in the boat and jumped into the water and worked Everett's body clear. An official navy statement said the airmen were on a routine "familiarization flight" under orders. Ensign John Davis of Great Lakes Training school headed the investigation. He refused to issue any statement at the scene oil the accident. " Recently Transferred Ensign Everett was recently transferred to Great Lakes from Pensacola. the navy advanced flying school. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Harriet Peters Everett, a bride of a few weeks. She* is a resident of Evanston. ! Some time after the accident occurred, a navy plane madefa forced landing on the Stanley £hr.rles farm, which is located about two-thirds of the way betwen here and Woodstock. Here the plane was repaired and later %ok off. using Route 120 as its runway. Mr. Charles employed his farm tractor to tow the plane from where it had landed to the highway. Charles said the pilot waS Ensign Bell and had as a passenger a man named Gordon^ Bell told witnesses he was searching for the Fox River wreckage and was forced down when his machine's oilline became faulty. This plane was forced down within an hour afte%the wreck near Crystal Lake* MABEL BOLGER GETS DIPLOMA AT STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE YOUTHS TO REGISTER LAST OF MONTH IN FIFTH DRAFT CALL la. its first outdoor commencement ceremony, Northern Illinois State Teachers college, DeKalb, granted degrees to 173 graduates, and issued MISS MABEL BOLGER two-y<>ar teaching diplomas to seventy- one, Wednesday, June 10.

He spoke onr"Air Conditioning Youth," a subject he related to the problem of education's part in the War. The baccalaureate sermon, Sunday afternoon, June 7, in the College auditorium, was given by Rev. John Gordon D. D., pastor of the Second Congregational church of Rockford, using the subject, "Youth and the World To day." , By midnight June 30 all of McHenry county's manpower betwen the ages of 18 and 65 will have registered for selective service. President Roosevelt's orders to Register all boys between the ages of 18 and 20 on June 30 will make it possible for all men (young and old) betwen the ages mentioned above to register for the draft. The order of the president says that under the existing law those who register between the ages of 18wand 20 will not be eligible for the draft until they reach the age of 20. The proclamation also ordered all youths who have reached the age .of 20 years since February 16 to register, at the same time. * With more than one-third of McHenry county's population now registered for the draft, the June 30th registration is expected to raise, this percentage quite a bit.

Between two and. three, hundred t>hotographers were represented at the convention. All of Mr. Worwick's entries were in the portrait class. In view of the fact that many pictures are. not even shown, the acceptance of all three of our local photographer's pictures, together with the fact that one of them was given such a superior rating, is something of which to be proud. The picture receiving tfie*blue ribbon was one of Beatrice Williams. The other two which were accepted ••' ere of Jean Schmitt and Jane Durland.

A meeting was called by a representative of the state for last Thursday afternoon at the county court house under the supervision.(of Mrs. Ethel C. Coe, county superintendent of schools. Means •were discussed at the meeting for the revamping of high school courses for the purpose of giving as much pre-aviation training as possible. Plans have already been.made in our own school to change a number ot courses to adjust them to the preparation of boys for necessary army, navy and air service. Plans have been made to encompass advanced mathematics, physics and physical education. An outilne has been made by the national government indicating mathematics training necessary to prepare boys for aviation, the navy or army. This outline will be closely followed in our local school. The physics course will not be changed radically as the outline of the government is almost identical to what is now being taught here. The biggest change in physics will be a change of problems. The problems next year will deal with artillery and mechanical problems and those concerning airplanes. Athletic Prifrui The phsical education program will be changed to conform with the type of activities recommended by the government to place boys in the best condition for military life. Many exercises to be followed are identical to those used during the early part of army and navy training. Although the courses are revamped to meet the requirements of government forcea, It is important to note that these subjects will not be injured as far as acting as preparatory subjects for college. All college requirements will be met as in the past. Most important thing discussed at the meeting was the probability of having a new and special course "Pre- Flight Aeronautics," which will be givein for J-unior and Senior students. The course was emphatically urged by the government to be given in all schools and it is highly probable that such a course will be carried out here if satisfactory arrangements can be made. Senior students of the St. Joseph S.hool of Nursing in Elgin who have ^uccessfuly completed their course of training, were graduated at an impressive service which was-conducted Sunday afternoon, June 7, in the hospital Chapel. The graduates, in cap and gown, ;»m( carrying arm bduquetn, w«»re es- ° N O T I C E !
