Twelfft Richmond Community By Phyllis C&rfeon Rotary Tuesday, Sept. 20, over 100 people helped celebrate the first birthday of Richmond Rotary at the Hunter Golf club. Each of the ladies received a white carnation to wear. That helped put everyone, in a "party" mood. The evening progTam opened with John Hora leading the group in singing "The Star Spangled Banner." Rev. Carlson had the invocation. Aimer Wendt, a new member of the club, led group singing. Frank Gargaro accompanied the Rotarians and their guests on his accordion. Claude Gordon, president of the Rotary, nfade the introductions and presided over the meeting. Mr. Gordon summed up some Of the accomplishments of the local Rotary club in its first year of existence. Its weekly attendance has been above average for the district in which it is located. It entered a float in the home- j coming parade last year. Rotary j entertained the high school foot- • ball team and the high school ' basketball team. Rotary donated I over $3,000 to the new McHenry County Memorial hospital at Woodstock, it sponsored a boy to Boys' State, helped sponsor a Christmas party for the children of the community and helped sponsor a high school band program once a week during the summer. Rotary took 100 children in twenty-one cars to the circus in Rockford with the cooperation of the local business houses and the Shriners. Rotary helped to find a local newspaper to print Richmond News. Through the district, Rotary sponsors an applicant for the foreign student exchange to study in Europe this coming year. Foreign student exchange is carried on by Rotary International through the active foundation working toward the ^ betterment of relations between the countries of the world by the exchange of students. The sergeant-at-arms. Harry Anderson, took ten minutes to pass around a milk pail in which he gathered sheckels, not moo juice. One of the members complained that a fellow-member was guilty of wearing a corset and should be fined. Mr. Anderson found that Aimer Wendt was the guilty one and confiscated a corset, silk stockings and a few wore sheckels. Dr. Harris arrived minus his usual flower so was fined for his oversight. Me. Anderson presented him with "' a white carnation, however, when the "Doc" forked over some, cash. j There were many visiting Ro- j tarians and Mr. Gordon intro- j duced many of the visitors by' clubs. Some came from Chicago, j some from McHenry, some from j Williams Bay and the district governor from Kankakee. I "Hie entire group paused for a j moment of silence in honor of I Kurt Reinicke. who died within J the year. j All members and guests were j delighted to see the delicious I dinner of thick, juicy steak with j French fries, salad and coffee, i The efficient, neat and trim ! waitresses were Mrs. Hem, home I economics teacher. and Miss Barbara Schmitt, secretary at the high school. _ The speaker of the evening was fchesley Perry, a past secretary of Rotary International. He stressed the ideals for which Rotary stands - service above self, the Golden Rule and explained some of the history of Rotary. Rev. Noyce closed the evening with the Benediction. Everyone went home with pleasant memories of a gala evening. The committee who arranged the party breathed two big sighs of relief, for everyone was happy. They were Frank May and Bob Lindbloom.

RICHMOND-BURTON SPORTS By Dar Shorn Rockets Edge Williams Bay. In a game that saw many fumbles and many tackles missed, and we still came out on top by two points against an average Williams Bay team, it could be called just plain luck, but we won't say that. We will just say that we out-scored them, outpassed them, out-gained them on ngt yardage and we also outfunttyed' them bjr far. - V f • The Rockets were very spotty throughout the game, time and again a fumble would hurt them at a very crucial point Seven times we fumbled and three times we lost the ball, once on j the one yard line, which did lead I to a six-pointer for the Bay. | When this happened, it looked j like several of the fans from j Richmond were going to go out on the field and help the Rockets j defend the goal and the lead, | but a couple of the big alumni j held them off. | The game started with Richmond receiving the ball on their own three and returning it to the j nineteen yard line. In four plays j we picked up eighteen yards and i a first down. This looked lik'e it ; really was to be a good- day for j the fast moving rockets, but on the next play we lost the ball on a fumble. The Bay took over on the Rockets thirty-seven and in six plays they were over for • the first score of the game, the , last play coming on a fourteen yard pass play. This was the | only scoring in the first quarter so the score stood 6-0 at the end of the first ten minutes. The second quarter saw lots of action with plenty of scoring by both teams. With four and a half minutes gone, Rog Shaw took a hand-off from Gunderson and scooted around left end for twenty-two yards and the firs£ Richmond score. Dave Harris made good on the extra point with a run over right tackle. One minute later the Rockets took the ball over on downs on the Bay 29 and after Shaw picked up four yards on a quick opening over center, Terry Gunderson threw a strike to Bob Miller standing in the end zone for a twenty-five yard touchdown play. The extra point failed on an attempted drop kick. Two minutes and twenty seconds later the Bay struck again, but their extra point- failed and the Rockets were still leading 13 to 12. With one minute left in the second ..Kpiarter, Gunderson fumbled ori his own nineteen yard line ah^;,' after the ball was knocked Varound a few times it wound up on the Rockets one yard line. In three plays Big Steve Foster carried it over for the Bay, and- again the extra point failed. With seconds left in the first half, Gunderson completed three straight passes good for sixty-eight yards, the last being an eighteen yard pass to Bob Miller for the third Rocket touchdown of the quarter. Gunderson missed the extra point and the first half ended with Shaw intercepting a Foster pass. The score at half, Rockets 19, Williams Bay 18. The third quarter didn't have any scoring, but we did see some of the best hard running we have seen so far this season. A couple of the fans remarked that the way Dick Buchert was bull-dozing his way through the line and picking up continuous yardage, that we had another ROn Miller in the making. I believe that Dick, being a sophomore, is out ahead of Ron when he was a second year man. Last week Dick stood out as a defensive back and this week he was again very effective, only he was on the offensive team. In the eight times he carried the ball in rushing attempts, he gained sixty-nine yards for an average of almost nine yards per try. Not bad. The fourth quarter was a thriller, regardless of the fumbles. There was no scoring untii the last two minutes of the game. The Bay had the ball on the Rocket 34 yard line and fourth down when Healy scampered around right end for eighteen yards as Bob christenson missed his tackle. This set up the play that saw Foster pass to Healy for the lead once again. For the fourth consecutive time, the Wisconsin boys had missed the try for an additional point. With one minute and five seconds left, Jarrett returned the ball to his own 28 yard line and on the first play from scrimmage, Bob Christenson, now playing offensive half back, carried the ball for six yards. On the next play, the Rockets fumibled once again but this time Christenson picked it up and dodged tacklers all down the field and making the ALDEN BICYCLE SHOP BICYCLE PARTS and REPAIRS WORK GUARANTEED NEW and USED BIKES TRADE-IN REGARDLESS OF SHAPE Walter Wille Alden, Illinois best of his blocks and wound up in the end zone for a spectacular 44 yard winning touchdown. The extra point was also scored by Chris. It was just a week ago he returned a punt for the same distance. Final score, Rockets 26, Williams Bay 24. We hope the boys got the fumbles out of their system against the Bay, because if. they fumble against North Boone next week, they will probably have a rougher time of it.
