The three-act comedy chosen by the 1943 seniors will be presented in the high school auditorium on Friday evening, May ?, under the direction of Miss Helen Stevens. In addition to the play itself, there will be several added attractions. Be* fore the p'ay the high school orchestra, under the direction of Paul Yanda, has chosen several patriotic numbers of the day to play for you, so plan to arrive at 8:15 sharp to hear "The Star Spangled Banner," "The Army Air Corps," by Crawford, and "There's A Star Spangled Banner Waving Somewhere" by Robert and Darnell. Following the play the orchestra will offer '""Rie Marine Hymn" by Phillips. Between acts Miss Lucia Rausch will direct a vocal quartette in an arrangement of "Keep the Home Fires Burning," and you will also hear an octet's version of "Deep Purple." The plot of the play centers around Jeff Adams, an unemployed architect who finds himself in quite a perplexing sUte of mind when his housekeeper quits, his younger brother and sisters discover variops means of interrupting a quiet household, and all of n sudden his services are sought for by, not one, but two people. One of his employers, Lenore Hudson, a wealthy and spoiled heiress, seems to have more designs on Jeff than he has of her house. After several attempts to postpone the excavating of the corner lot Hy, Jeff's youngest sister and a little tomboy, succeeds in making it possible for the Hellcats and the Mortuaries to play their football game without betes troubled by anyone Ptoggy, a hosiery saleswoman, seems to be the answer to the housekeeping situation as she tries to straighten things out and make* life run smoothly again. Carol's limericks, Wes's infatuation for the girl -next door, nd a littlt poison ivy also cause some very hnterseting development The cast includes the following: Jeff ..i..... Glenn Peterson Pvt.

Two MESSAOES FROM MEN IN SERVICE Mr. Mosher and Triends: I guess I'm the only serviceman* that is on yotir mailing list who hasnt e x p r e s s e d his thankfulness for receiving our home town paper. I hope the time never comes that I miss one edition. So far I've received all the issues. Maybe they were a little out of date but they surely were welcome. ;t:V *v'; I've been transferred three times in as many months so that makes up for the delay. I am now in the naval amphibious forces, training for special duties abroad. We don't know how long.our training will be. In fact, we may possibly be shipped out tomorow for all we know. It surely was swell to hear that my old classmate, Dick Weber, is on the baseball team, playing for the marines at Pearl Harbor. They had better keep those games just between the marines, though, for if they ever challenged the navy they wouldn't have a chance. I'll be waiting for this week's Plaindealer on the election returns. The boys really have stiff competition, dost they? So long, FRANCIS WIRTZ. Dear Friends: Have been receiving the paper every week and surely do wait anxiously for it. I want to thank you for it, also to notify you of my change in address.

Local Sergeant Has Article In " «4D Time and time again McHenry ser- ~vh«n«rhave proven their abilities along various lines, their eagerness to keep on learning and their excellent spirit in adjusting themselves to completely new lives. McHenry boys are ; represented in the army, navy an marines; in the air, in submarine service, the signal corps and almost eve-y other line open to servicemen today. Our newest serviceman to make the headlines today is SUff Sergeant Martin R. Cooney. who has been sU-; tioned at Scott Field, 111., since he en-! lilted about two and one-half years; •go. Sgt. Cooney, son of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Cooney of this city, is at present preparing to enter Officers Candidate school. In the March issue of the "/ir Tech" magazine, a magaiine of air- - craft maintenance and operation,: local residents are reading with pride j an article entitled "Direction By Radio," with Sgt. Cooney's by-line beneath it. For those who have not seen the magazine and are interested in radio, we are reprinting the story: '"Hie radio compass is an aid to na v i g a t i o n and is not i n t e n d e d to be, used alone, except for homing. The radio compass presents itself as a part of a simple navigation problem. When the frequencies and geographical location of two or more transmit- . ting stations are known, a 'fix' may be made or esUblished to within a few miles of the actual location of the compass receiver. However, many things enter into the problem of direction by radio to confuse those not fami'iar with the problem in detaiL Acurraey of 'Fix' •"Hie accuracy of a 'fix' is affected, bf the number of degrees separation In the lines of transmissions and tiw| strength of the signals at the receiver. It is preferable that the lines of transadMfcNM be separated by at least 19 degrees and that the strength of the signals be fairly high in intensity. "At present there are two types of radio compass direction finders in use. On one type the compass loop must be operated manually. On another the loop operates automatically when tuned to a sUtion. The automatic compass turns its loop so that the indicator needle points toward the sUtion.. On the manually operated set the loop is turned by hand until the left-right indicator reads in the center of the compass indicator scale. "Let us say for example that we know we are somewhere over Ohio going north. If we can draw a line east from Chicago and say that we are at some point on that line, then we need only to get a line from someother known direction and draw it to our position. If we draw a line 75 degrees from St. Louis and say we are on that line, then the intersection of these two lines is the point where we were when the bearings were Uken. "A compass at St. Louis reads ou* positions as 75 degrees, while our compass when pointed at St. Louis will read 285 degrees. Therefore, if we want to find our position with St. Louis as a reference point we cannot use 285 degree reading, but we can get the reading as though it were St. Louis by reading as though it were from St. Louis by reading the back of the indicator needle. This prodecure of reading the rear of the needle gives what is known as a reciprocal bearing. The reciprocal bearing is the reading of the sUtion compass when it is pointed at the plane. True bearing ia the reading from the plane to the sUtion. "Basically, that is all that is required to give a 'fix.' IlT most cases more than two stations are required to give an accurate indication of the Merle Barth, who is serving at Camp d®r8on- tickets; and the Trades cl»38' Adair, Oregon, and Albert L.
