There is one student who has accurately counted (530,629. In the interest of science, of course. From the point of view of the study halls are an occupational 'hazard. With all that hot air floating around, it becomes quite drafty at times. Th«?n, too, there is the danger of being beaned - with a message about a misdeed _--committed by someone's second beat friend, being sent to that person's first best friend. This is modern education at its very best. The Students Want-- „• The kids of high school age in ^ McHenry will be still more idle Bince one of their chief sources of entertainment lays in ashes.

Committees for Ball Chosen The Senior class held a class meeting last week to appoint committees for the Senior ball. The ball is scheduled for Dec. 1. Coniniittees for decoration, band, reteacher, | freshnients,' publicity and cleanup will be headed by Aun Paluch; Arnie Peterson, Rose M. Schmitt, Lois Snyder and Glen Merunde, respectively. Several names have been suggested for the formal but the Seniors have not definat«1y decided on a title. Girl's Volleyball Hegins The Seniors and Juniors commenced this year's volleyball tournament by electing capUUnb last Monday. The Seniors will be captained by Sue Peyton and Joy Oarfitens. while the Juniors will be led by Ilene BasBett and Pat Owen.

Junior Play Successful W The Junior class play, "Our Miss Brooks," was presented as ( scheduled, last Friday night. The play was well suited for a high , school presentation and the cast j over had a good time doing it. The plot, < such as it was. dealed with the ^problems of producing the Senior play. Among them were the conflicts with the band and basketball team, which were also prac- ^ iicing in the gym, and a haughty, W o v e r b e a r i n g p r e s i d e n t o f t h e school board, whoy also had a daughter in the play cast. It was Altogether a very amusing, enjoyable, and relaxing production. Between acta, the cast expressed it* Red Cross The American Junior Red Cross has started up once again this year. The class that turns in the most iftcmey will" be able to see movies in the auditorium during th^ lunch hour. The students from that class will not be admitted unless they show their membership card. The students from the other classes will be able to see the movie sponsored by thfe student council during the noon hour if they pay. to get in. For each class there is a* representative. Esther Stienle is collecting the money for the Senior class, the chairman, Darlene Andreas, for the Juniors, Ella Jean Buss. Sophomores, and Judy Krein for the Freshmen. The drive will be Nov. 15, and on Nov. 14. there will be a fted Cross program1 for the entire student body. So, let's all try and be a member. Remember the Hobo Hop Friday night in the cafeteria.

Armstrong. Illinois Selective Service director. They apply to all reserve components of the Armed Forces. Members of unorganized, inactive or volunteer reserve units are now liable for physical examination and induction in their regular turn and are not eligible for postponement pf induction because of their reserve status. Colonel Armstrong said. This includes officers as well as enlisted men. Only members of organised reserve units * are eligible for deferment or postponement and they must meet certain conditions in order to qualify. A man who bes^ ldhged to an organized reserve quit on or before Feb. 1.1951, and has since continuously participated in drills and training periods, may be deferred in Class I-D. Those who do not qualify for this deferred class may have their induction postponed if they me«t the following requirements: To obtain a postponement because of membership in an organized reserve unit which has not been alerted for active federal service, the reservist must have joined the unit between Feb. 2 and June 30. 1951 (inclusive), before he was ordered for physical examination, and must be satisfactorily participating in drills and training periods. To be po.l poned because of membership in an alerted organized reserve unit, or as an alerted individual member of such a unit, the reservist must have joined between Feb. 2 and Sept. 30. 1961 (inclusive). an$l be satisfactorily participating. Before having their Induction p o s t p o n e d , r e s e r v i s t s w i l l b e ordered for physical examination man becomes 25 years and nine months of age, it was pointed out. > The purpose of the new regulations is to maintain the effectiveness of organized units, particularly alerted ones, while- at the same time iusuring that no reservist permanently avoids active duty in the Armed Forces because of his reserve membership. "All of these postponed men must enter active federal service before they reach their twentysixth birthday, either through induction or by being cailed to active duty from the reserve units," Coloiiel Armstrong declared. He emphasized that It is the individual reservist's responsibility to make sure his unit reports his current status to his Selective Service local board immediately, so that the board may determine whether he qualifies for deferment oV postponement. HOUSEHOLD HINTS -- . t When buying a turkey for your holiday meal, examine the skin, conformation (shape), fleshing and keel bone to determine quality. That's the word from S. P. Ridleu, poultry specialist. University of Illinois College of Agriculture. He predicts that more small-sised turkeys will be available qn Illinois markets this year. And many stores are selling halves and quarters for the small-and-mediumsited holiday meals. Most of the birds available now are eviscerated, or fully drawn, he says. Choose a bird with a creamy colored skin and a good healthy appearance. See that the skin is free from bruises, tears and pinfeathers. Examine the shape and fleshiness of the bird. A wide, long Plan For Chicago Stock Exposition "g, • Work has- begun «* the flftysecond edition of the International Live Stock Exposition, the nation's leading agricultural event Early entries indicate that the 1951 show will attract larger classes than erer before. The exposition, which will get under way In the International Amphitheatre of the Chicago Stock Yards Nov. 24 for an eightday run through Dec. 1, each year makes Chicago the center of interest of the Continent's livestock industry. Last year'8 show drew over eleven thousand head of the nation's top cattle, sheen, strlne and horses from thirty-four state? and two Canadian provinces, ffp the livestock breeder and feeder it is jlSe "world's series" of all shows, "where final dt-cisions in livestock competitions are made.

As we said, this is very hard to believe--but the reasons for it make it more or less understsindable. In the first place, a great many people simply don't know what a Cadillac costs. They don't understand that the lowest-priced Cadillac actually costs less than certain models produced by numerous other manufacturers. They only know that Cadillac is the world's most renowned motor car--arid they assume, from this, that it iliust also be exclusively priced. . J ^ ' Too, some people get discouraged because they can't walk in and order a Cadillac and get immediate delivery --as they can with so many other makes of cars. This, too, is largely due to a failure to get all the facts and think them through to the inevitable conclusion. You have to wait a while for a Cadillac because so many people want one--and want it so badly that they are uniting to wait for it. And that, in turn, is because is recognized everywhere as the Standard of. the Wort So if you want it Cadillac--and research indicate that a vast percentage of motorists do--come & uB talk with us about it --- We'll give you the facts concerningicomparativecost& And we will also talk frankly with you about delivery (^Ites, so you may know about what to anticipate - You really owe it to yourself to do this.
