ACTIVITIES Continued from Page l Edward Coakley of St. Patrick's pariah, whose few, well chosen words to the seniors brought a massage of encouragement in theae unsettled times. Fr.

Thanda^ Jtta* 5, by Dorrs Fuhler & Pen? Selsdorf By an unanimous vote, Earl • Walsh was elected permanent chairman of the Ballot Battalion for McHenry county at a meeting V of organization representatives v held Monday night at the Legion -; Home. The meeting was arranged by the Kiwanis Club of McHenry / Township a3 a part of a national I program. Joseph X. Waynne, tem- ( porary chairman of the meeting, 1 stated that the program is now in the hands of representatives of the various local groups but that the local Kiwanis club and Kiwanis International will give material aid and support to the project. The following persons were elected to be on the executive committee: Fred Heide, Albert S. Blake, William A. Gibson. Richard J. Hyatt, Marius Hansen, ; Clarence A. Peiereisel, Mrs. Marie Hyatt, Joseph Gllmore and Joseph X. WAynne. Additional members will be elected to the executive committee as soon as their names are submitted by the organizations they are to represent. Active work on the program of the Ballot Battalion will commence as soon as the chairman selects his canvassing and pub- Jlicity committee. The work will be '^publicized through the medium of ^billboards, display cards, radio 'broadcasts, etc. The hope is that through the efforts of this committee at least 90 per cent of the "local eligible voters will turn out to do their duty at the national election this fall. News About Our Servicemen IS; ^4' •> * | His parents have received word that Capt. Leo Gerlach, who recently was awarded a Gold Star in lieu of his second Air Medal far action in Korea, has been seriouwy injured. Capt. Gerlach was flying over enemy territory when his plane was fired on an<j he was shot in the leg. He managed to bring the plane down safely but was hospitalized for several weeks. At one time it was feared it might be necessary to amputate the leg but last word received revealed that he was progressing nicely and would return to duty soon. The young flyer was given his choice of returning to the States for permanent duty or remaining in Korea. He chose the latter for the purpose of "giving the Commies what they had coming" as he expressed himself in his last letter home. Capt. Gerlach has chooaen the Marine Corps as a career. 'm: Mat Menial Tasks A common belief that part-time Sobs are the menial jobs in the nation's scheme of things and that full- •time jobs are the ones which command both respeet and large incomes is not altogether true. Forty percent of professional and technical men and women, over 90 percent of the nation's salesmen and saleswomen and 35 percent of all clerical workers do not work in ^ear-round, full-time jobs. The school cafeteria turned into a very sporty place with its decorations of tennis rackets, hockey sticks, bows and arrows, and various other sports equipment. The annual banquet for the G. A. A. members was held last week. o The girls and their guests were welcomed by the toastmistress, Charlene Dowe, who was taking the place of Louise Barbier, who was not able to attend the dinner. Mary Jane; Gerasch, president, then introduced Miss Taylor, who gave a short talk. Miss Taylor presented the awards to the girls Freshmen received certificates, Sqphomores received numerals, Juniors were awarded with major M's, and the Seniors were given gold pins. Miss Paprocki was also given an award for the hours she spent with the intramural programs. Audrey Andreas was the winner of the tennis trophey, with Louise Barbier coming in second. This year's sportsmanship award went to Mary Jane Gerasch. The introduction of the new officers was the last point of the program.: The new officers are: President, Kate Freund, vicepresident, Mary Nye; Chairman of the board, Jenny Houda; treasurer, Audrey Thomas: secretary Darlene Andreas; secretary. Karen Enedahl: magazine secretarv Pat Gorenson. representatives Doris Bauer, Dolores Smith and Pat Owen; senior board members Carole Olson and Linn McCurdy junior board members.

Charlene Dowe and Harold Golbeck led the processional, accompanied by Jean and Joan Weber at the piano playing "Pomp and Circumstance". Mr. Duker introduced Rev. Fr. Edward C. Coakley, who addressed the Seniors. The mixed chorus sang three songs, the girls' chorus sang a song and accompanied Jack Wirtz as he sang a solo. The audience then joined in singing "America the Beautiful." The recessional was led by Sue Peyton and Kenny Crook. We were all very sorry to hear that Peggy Selsdorf, a senior, was not able to attend because of illness. Archery Tournament The Freshmen and Juniors play ed off the archery tournament last week, leaving the Freshmen i victorious. The highest scorer was Virginia Audino. New Honor t- This year the G. : 'hu created an alumni award for an outstanding member of the G.A.A. Chosen this year was Miss Adele Froehlich, who has remained active even after graduation. Each member of the board may nominate a person who they think has contributed to the dub and been an honor to it. Picnics From, the gossip. I have been hearing around school, every class is going to have a picnic except, I am sorry to say, the Freshmen. The Seniors are going to have their picnic Thursday in Cedar c Lake, the Juniors have been falking about having a picnic, but as of yet they haven't decided when or where, and Sophomores are having theirs Thursday at Cedar Lake, also. I hope I am right in saying that the Freshmen haven't made any special plans about having a picnic. Have a good time, everyone. Exams Wednesday and TMbrsday have been the two days for exams this quarter. These will be the last fcests until September for most of the kids, so be sure and make the best of it, whoever has to take them. Graduation The moment many of the Seniors have been waiting for all their life is finally just around the corner. Friday, June 6, 8:15, in the school gymnasium seventytwo happy faces will march in the gym for their last time as a class. Speaking for a lot of us, I want to say that we'll miss them very much and wish them all the success they may possibly have. Good luck to all of you. Vacation By W. H. Tunmpns The farmer had a little hay, Its leaves were full" of proteins, He cut it on Memorial Day And saved it for his Holsteina Well, maybe every MoHenry county farmer can't cut all hia hay May 30, but he should make every effort to start. At that time hay is mostly leaves and they are high in protein. Also, leaves on young alfalfa don't drop off as easily as they* do later. Have you noticed that as alfalfa is left standings the more leaves drop off aa it ripens t If bedding is what you want, why go to the trouble of having both hay and small grain. Oats straw, after combining, is just as good as ripe alfalfa hay and you can harvest a crop cc valuable oats beside. Contrary to the thinking of some farmers, you do not reduce your total crop of %lfalfa hay per year by cutting it before it blooms. Instead of cutting two crops, cut three per year. Down home we always cut three crops and in western Nebraska where I spent two years as a tenderfoot cowprod, we cut four crops per year especially in the fertile, well watered creek bottoms on the ranch. It grew to waist height in a few weeks. On the hillsides it grew very slow and was poorer quality because of lack at moisture. • • ' 4 Prof. Hamilton, animal nutrition expert at the College 6f Agriculture, says that all crops will be most nutritious at maximum production, which means that hay that will go four tons per pcre per year will be more nutritious than hay that only goes two tons. Corn that makes 100 bushel per acre will be more nutritious than corn that only goes 50 bushel. So you win two ways by increasing production through fertilization and improving the water holding -anacity of the soil. Well, we have been in New York City for a week now. How. time flies. v I'll bet there is more axe^ grease sold and used in New Yorty City than in McHenry county United Nations on the aaat river between 42nd street and 4£th Street, from there by cab to Allen street to see the brass shops, from there by bus to the battery, from there by ferry across the upper bay past the Statue of Liberty to Staten Island, the Burrough of Richmond, and back, by fubway to Times Square at 42nd and Broadw'ay and by foot home, tills took 'till 8 o'clock and according to the map we didn't cover one-twenty-fifth of the area of things to see. You can't get lost if you can read signs, can ask questions and can follow directions. On the subway you can ride all day for a dime if jfcu never come up to see daylight. If you get on the wrong train, what's the difference, you can go back and start over at no extra cost. < Some of the things that surprise us are the friendliness of everyone from the best dressed to the lowliest looking character down in the Bowery . . . Ask anyone a question and they will stop and tell you all about it. You can hardly get away again. Bus drivers will block traffic to tell you where to go . . . the cost of meals is cheaper in most places than in any restaurant in McHenry county--volume of business is the reason. All eating places, and there are thousands of them, are full all the time. Of course, you can pay plenty, too, at the St. Regis, Plaza, Gotham Hotels, Stork club, etc., or other hotels, but you can go around the corner at a hole in the wall and get a good meal for a dollar and a half. I believe there are more good cooks in New York than in the rest of the world combined. No one is the least inhibited here. Everyone does as he pleases, dresses as he pleases, goes where he pleases and no one pays any attention to him. Everybody has a dog or two and what a conglomeration of them. Most of them are tiny because they are cheaper to feed. Thqr wear knitted wrappers or plastic raincoats as the weather demands. ^ In case I haven't mentioned why I'm here it is the 164th general assembly of the Presbyterian church at the 5th Avenue Presbyterian Church. What a huge building. It will seat 2,500 people and It is full for every one of our sessions. Each pew has a solid partition half way across. TTiis has a very practical use, It would seem to me. Suppose a cat got loose in this huge place. How would they ever catch it if it weren't for each pew being a blind alley? By the time this appears In print vacation days will be over and things like preparation for the county fair will aga&a be my order of the day. x Piano Students To Recital Juno IS Piano students of Mrs. Samuel Leibsohn will be presented in a recital at the McHenry high school auditorium on Sunday, June 15, at 2:30 p.m. The program will consist of two piano compositions, duets and solo performances written by representative composers.
