Odobar i& 1951 bontinued at their honut, thwt they received felicitations from their many friends and neighbor* | throughout the rest of the day. Mrs. Sally Tamborino and Charles Schultz of Chicago were among their out of town guests. . The day ended but the memory of it will live with these two nice people forever. Mrs. Jean McDonald is enjoyint I brief rest at Hot Springs, Ark. Willard Sehultz suffered a bone fracture in his neck when he fell out of a hammock while playing with his daughter and her little friends last Sunday afternoon. Ironically, Mr. Schultz has spent hundreds of hours flying a plane without a mishap. He is at present convalescing, at the Woodstock hospital. - * ' fe, MRS.

Mr. |01sen entered the mason coiltractjing field in Chicago and alter 'moving to our community transferred his field of operations to Ithis area, where the- Theo. Olsen , 'land Sons business was soon firm- |ly established. Few families can boast of cou Jtrlbuting more to the effort during World War II than the Olsen's. Ole, the eldest, now residing in Louisville, Ky., served with the Army. Arthur did his bit in the Navy. Ted in the Air Forces and Evalyn in the Waves. Therese did her part serving on the ' home "front The twelve grandchildren added much to the joys of their fortyfive years of wedded life.

Motion carried. - George P. Freund, Mayor Earl R. Walsh, City Clert Playtex Baby Proiietl Wattles Drag leHeirj 1IL <9tl Heel and Toe holes In the chapter on "conversation" in the third grade English book, it i« suggested that a good way to begin a rousing conversation is to ask, "Do you have any pets?" After you have thoroughly discussed my goldfish and its little idiocyncracies, the next question is "Do you have any hobbies? And here is where- I really shine conversationally! In the „ process of becoming a converssS-ional wizzard, I have 'discovered many interesting hobbies. A good friend of mine belongs to a national society of birdwatchers. This friend informs me that right here in school, there are quite a few birds. For instance, there's always quite a bit of crowing going on around here, and then there's the boy who calls his girl "Pigeon", although I personally don't see the resemblance. This bird-watcher has observed several swallows in the cafeteria, numerous hummingbirds in the chorus room, and that Mr. Buckner has an eagle-eye. Another friend is a big game hunter. Part of his standard equipment is a fly-swatter and among his daring exploits, there is the time he smoked out a nest of bumblebees. The head of the queen bee he has mounted and is hanging in his bedroom. Other interesting hobbies that we have discovered include writing with the pencil between your teeth and growing petunias under your fingernails. F. F. A. Travels The president and vice-president of the F. F. A., Jerry Cristy and Frank Sntith, recently traveled to Kansas City, Mo. The occasion was a National Future Farmers convention, held on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, October 8, 9, 10 and 11. They again set out last week, accompanied by the rest of the officers of the McHenry chapter, Richard Novak, Jim Adams, Loren Frfimi and Martin Qbernauf. This time, the destination was Barrington and an officers training school. The lecture was followed by a meal featuring pancakes. So, boys, the moral of this story is: "Join the F. F. A. and see the world". Pictures to be Taken The photographers are arriving Thursday and Friday to begin taking pictures for the annual. Pictures will be taken of all the classes except the Seniors, and some of the organizations. Don't worry. Seniors, you're not being neglected, the nice men will t ome again shortly after Christmas and you can smile at the birdie all you want. Members of the journalism class will begin taking orders for the 1951 annuals Tuesday, Oct. 30. Be sure and 'order your annuhl now: The journalism class is always looking for mention in this column and now I wonder why we nave given in. The journalism class never mentions us! F. H. A.JIolds Luncheon ^be girls of the F.H.A. held their first meeting in the homemaking room at a dessert luncheon for F.H.A. members last Tuesday. On the program, in addition to the usual business meeting, were several short talks on the meaning of the F.H.A. and what it stands for, a description of ttao activities at F.H.A. camp and an explanation of F.H.A. honorary degrees and how to earn them. The " program chairman, Mary Hogan, has announced that lectures on vocational guidance will again be offered to F.H.A. members this year at their monthly meetings. Freshman All Stars Chosen Cp until now, the Freshman have been playing practice games in hockey, using four teams. Last week they elected all-star players who will be organized into two earns to enter into competion with the upper-classmen in a door- die tournament. Captaining the girls will be Virginia Audino and Rita Barbiarf. The other all-stars chosen were: Martha Boldt, Lois Claybaugh, Mary Ann Ford, Judy Freund, Margie Freund, Carla Jensen, Patty Jensen, Pat Kuhn, Pat Rosing, "Kay Turpel, Ann Weber, Peggy Whiting, Betty Wright, Judy Krein and Joyc« Krununwiede/ Monday, the tournament was offically opened. Junior Play Approaches Friday, Nov. 2, will be the premier of the junior class play. Many members of the Junior class have been hard at w;qrk on various committees. Posters have been placed around town by the advertising committed, while the play cast is frantically memorizing so there will be a , play, i.as advertised. The Juniors will present a one night stand of "Our Miss Brooks", a story based on the radio program of thi sanfe name. The ticket-selling campaign will begin next Friday. Seniors Select Invitations The final voting in the selection of invitations, class colors, and class motto took place last Monday. If, come graduation, the departing Seniotfs^look a little green around the gills, it's only natural as green was chosen as the class color. This is not an ordinary green, this is "Emefald" green. Many of the less intelligent Seniors thought that green was just green, or at best was just divided into light gre£n and dark green. After a great deal, of deep think- PUBLIC PULSE (All communications for this de* partment most be signed by the writer, otherwise they will not be published. The Plalndealer Invites its readers to express their opinions hi these tola MM.) McHenry Plalndealer: v* V The story in the Oct. 18 issue of j the Plalndealer written about our police force was very Interesting. This writer agrees heartily With the praise and credit given, to Mc- Henry's "finest". They are doing a grand Job, especially in watch- with a whole skin, particu ingover the school children going to and from school. However, there was no mention in the article, which went back in time to the days of Jack Walsh, of the time when John Wirtz and Linus Newman were members of the force. Those are the days which the residents on and near the corner of Riverside and Elm streets remember with gratitude. On summer Sundays and holidays either John or Linus were on hand to handle the trtffie at this corner. A For some rea^n, the practice of having a traffic cop at this corner has befen stopped since the days of these two thoughtful characters. There has been nothing done to slow the traffic coming into and going out of town at this point. There was a blinker light warning the traffic to slow down at the bridge but it did not last long. This intersection is the most neglected in town and it has been the most dangerous for quite some time. The most nimble and alert' of us are hard put to get across ttlm ing, the class was still debating on whether the invitations .should have just one plain old American fold or whether they should get cosmopolitan and have a triple French fold. The final decision was In favor of the French fold. There's nothing like soi\istication! The Seniors have also chosen a motto which reflects a great deal of feeling and profound thought--"Forward Ever. Backward Never."
