County coroners, state's attorneys and circuit clerks will be named statewide. Recorders of by Jtorls Fabler < Peggy Selsdorf When the occasion arises, our school paper, the Warrior, publishes little articles about new students, introducing them to the general public. With all this fuss about new students, we thought that something ought to be written About all the old students who need introducing to the general public. For example, we interviewed Peggy SelsdOrf, a senior, who has attended MeHenry high school for seven years. Peggy likes sports, especially wrestling, sliding down banisters, and bobbing for apples. Her pet pee^e is curiosity seekers who ask to see her climb the walls aftd' ceiling during school hours. After graduation, Peggy is going to get a job as a trained seal, bouncing a ball on the end of her nose. She feels especially qualified for this type of work because she just loVes fish. Swatting flies is her tavorite subject and when asked' what her hobby was. she coyly drew out her hatchet, got that gleam in her eye. and reveal l that it was collecting shrunken heads. Thi? hurriedly concluded the interview. . ' Successful Homecoming The Student Council should be complimented on the fine job they did on the homecoming preparations. We especially liked the good job they did of arranging the Outcome of the game. There was a remarkable number of alumni at the game and slightly less at the dance. Prizes were awarded during the dance. Nobody seems to be able to locate that extra box of candy-- we suspect the Student Council ate it! Also at tl 14 time, awards were presented to representatives of the prize winning floats. Of course, the highlight of the dance was the coronation of the king and queen of homecoming, Louise Barbier and Rich Fuhler by Nancy Siemon and Don Freuiid, last year's king and queen. Prize Winners Through an oversight, tlie three big winners were omitted from last week's column. Winner of first prize champion salesman Charlotte Hogan, who turned in $194.10. In second place was Doris Bauer with $158. and third was •l" . Sports Activities The girls are being very active sportswise lately. A tennis team is being scraped together for a match with Elgin, next Wednesday on MeHenry courts. The following Monday, the, Senior hockey girls will travel to Lake Geneva to hattje a Lake Geneva all-star hockey * team. At this time, the Seniors are frantically learning additional rules and different methods of play because Lake Geneva plays regulation hockey while we play a sort of midget, size game, which our own Miss Taylor helped to develop. As for the present hockey tournament, the Seniors are leading the field. The freshmen are also having their own tournament^ junior 1 grade, composed of fouiK teams captained by Rita Barbianf* Lois Claybaugh, Virginia - Audino and Shirley Conway. At present, Barbidn's and Audino's teams are tied for the lead. .
