Never has this community been more saddened than in learning the news of the sudden death of Dick Williams. Dick was certainly one of McHenry's finest young men, full of pep, willing and able to assume responsibilities. While Dick's sudden departure from this earth is naturally severest to those close to him, many heavy hearts and tear-filled eyes have shown that he wasn't. far away from the interest and high esteem of all: i A loaf taam comas true.

Well, the fellow doing the subdividing, A. P. **Tony" Freund, had the answer. He donated a tract of land and 'was paid a sum equhrilant to the amount neoessary to fill the grounds. Two extra lots were later purchased to enlarge the. field when the demand for a flooded iceskating rink camo to light. With general interest and enthusiasm aroused, many willing workers carried out a drive to secure funds to put over the project Response was most gratifying and a total sum close to (5500 was banked for athletic field purposes.
