The seventh and eighth grade girls made posters for the dance revue. Those posters are well done, too, don't you think so? The F.H.A. had a successful Hobo Day. The girls were tired, but happy, after their day of work last Friday.

Many, many friends and relatives were at RICHMOND-BURTON SPORTS By Dar Ehorn Rockets Trim Sharon 48.16 The sky in Richmond last Thursday was filled with a big beautiful sun and lots pf nice blue clouds,/and also a pigskin helped complete the beauty of the sky. Terry Gunderson Rocket quarterback, threw some of the longest passes we have seen all season, .and on the receiving end was Bob Christensen, who is one of the best pass receivers and runners we have seen all season. Bob can get behind the opponents' safety men, with his fine deception and" speed, with the greatest of ease. Against Sharon, this pass combination looked like Cecil Isbell and Don Hutson when they were tops in , the pro league with the Green Bay packers. This vgaine vat a typical sixman game, wide open from < the opening kickofif. It sounds like we are giving all the credit to this pass combination, but it takes more than a' passer ! and receiver; We know that In order for these psis'ses to be complete, there has to be the best in blocking, and we had that with-Bob Miller, Rog Shaw, Dick Buchert, Jim Harris and all the fine linemen who entered throughout the game. The opening kickoff was received by Richmond and downed on their own thirty-seven yard line. The first play from scrimmage was a short screen pass from Christensen to Gunderson and he went all the way into the end zone for the TD. Hie extra point was added on. a plunge over right tackle on reverse hand-off by Roger. Shaw. One minute iater, Shaw tackled Brunner in • 'his own end zone for a two-fcofiit safety for the Rockets, and the Rockets were out in front 6-6. The next score was a short pass to Christensen from Gunderson on the Rockets' own /thirtyweight yard line. Chris ran doWri the west side of the field all the Way for a fifty-two yard overall touchdown play. The try for, the extra point failed and Richmond- led 15-0 at the end of the first quarter. Remember now, this is the same Sharon team that played Caproii bff its feet for three quarters* a only to end up in a tie, ""24-24. The Rockets lost to the Capron Vikings 19-12. The only scoring in the second quartet was a seventeen yard pass to Loren Miller for a TD and the extra point was scored in the same, manner with another pass to L. Miller. The first half ended, Rockets 22, Sharon 0. Getting away from the subject of sports, but some comment must be made about the performance of the band at halftime. The Richmond-Burton Community high school band, under the direction of Paul Stone, was at its best. The marching 'was precision perfect. Some of the Sharon rooters were nice enough, to comment that it was one of the finest bands they had ever seen on a high school field. Makes a citizen mighty proud to be able to say, "That's our band." Congratulations, Mr. Stone and members. The third quarter got under way with Sharon taking the kickoff and returning the ball to their own thirty-five yard line and on the third play of- the second half a quick hand-off to William Walley of the Panthers and he went the distance for a 45 yard run. Hie drop kick was good and, Sharon had 8 points. The Rockets struck, ,-jfigU.t back With a 45 yard pass through the air by VlTerry Gunderson to Bob Christensen, who took the ball on Sharon's 20 and ran the remaining distance for a 65 yard touchdown play. The extra point failed on an attempted drop kick. Scorfr, <£8-8 at the end of the third" quarter. The .final quarter was a passne. Gunderson once again opened up with a long pass to Christensen for a touchdown, this play going 55 yards overall. Bucbeft scored the extra point on Va 1 plunge, making the score 35-8. Sharon came right back with1' a 25 yard pass to Norbert Naftef from Bill Webb for the TD. Brunn^ once ' again kicked the extra two points with a perfect,, drop kick right between the uprights, score 35-16.

With five minutes left, Coach Ned Morgepsen was substituting like everything' trying to give all the boys a chance to play. Gunderson was left in for one more play and^lhis time he threw a 43 yard pass through the air to Dick Buchert, who made a spectacular catch of the ball on Sharon's 27 yard line, from where he went the rest of the way without k hand being laid on him. Thei extra point failed and at this point the score stood Rockets, 41, Sharon, 16. The next Richmond score was a short pass of 26 yards from Dave Harris to Ken Bergsma, where he took it on the Panther 20 and he also went the remaining distance for the TD. The extra point was scored on a plunge by Rog Shaw, making the final score 48-16.

This is a very important game as far as the Rockets are concerned. They must win this to stay in the runnihg to capture another championship, but also Capron must lose in order for Richmond to come in. At this time of the season there are always all kinds of "ifs". This reporter has a hunch that if the Maroon and White boys can beat Clinton, that Capron will lose to either Williams Bay or Clinton. This game will probably be broadcast direct from the field at Clinton through the Harvard <radio station. The last two games have been on the air, so we believe the Richmond businessmen will do evtry thing in their power to bring this game to the local fans who can't attend this big one.

PRAIRIE CHICKENS Immense coveys of prairie chickens were commonplace on the wide free grasslands of central and northern Illinois a hundred years ago. Now, in the Prairie state, the' picturesque prairie chicken is surviving only in a few small colonies. Dr. Ralph E. Peatter, game specialist of the state natural history survey, writing in the current "Audubon Bulletin," suggests the possibility of perpetuating prairie chickensin northern Illinois by setting up grassland refuges. The Illinois Department of Conservation, Illinois State Museum, Illinois Au-( dubon society, Illinois Conserva-. tion council, Illinois State Academy of Science, and the Cahokia Nature League are all reported as being interested in saving the prairie chicken from extinction.
