Thursday. April 25, 1957 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALEH Lakeland Park By Jetta Gleeson and Dorothy Uttich Grand Finale The annual "Spring Datfce" was a huge success. The turn-out was excellent, there was mtjsic with a beat, the floor show was superb and everybody was ready for a grand time. Lakeland Parkers, guests and friends gathered, at the American . Legion hall on Saturday night for an evening of dancing and enterjtoinment. The wonderful thing JlPboiit the dance was that , the entertainment was made up of mostly local talent. Tee Bujak sang and her son Butch played Jthe accordion in the band. Liter in the evening, Rudy Bryant joined in with the music. The highlight of the evening, of course, was the spectacular floor show with' all the stars from Lakeland Park. m John Reinhardt, Sr. was the faster of ceremonies for the "Gay Nineties" review. He was dressed for the part in a striking striped suit with a matching top hat and carried a cane. John did a fine job of announcing and keeping the audience's attention and interest with the show. Tee Bujak opened the entertaining show with the friendly "Hi Neighbor" song which the audiftecc retaliated by joining in on xne greeting. # First ori the billboard was the "Clorettes". Such an array of femininity has never been seen before and probably will never be seen again. The beautifully costumod chorus line pranced out into the spotlight and performed a fabulous can-can dance, which left the audience in hysterics. . The can-can dancers included a (fcroup of our leading male citizens who have been rehearsing (sore muscles, * backaches and all) for quite some time to help make this show a success. They were 1 transformed into buxom blondes, brunettes, and red heads, dressed in fluffy and colorful can-can If costumes complete with wigs, dancing shoes, garters and short, short skirts. We'll have to give these fellows Credit, they did an excellent job. We hope they won't hate us for publishing their names, but here goes. Jerry Rogers, Roy Meineke, Tom Gleeson John Reinhardt. Jr.. Raymond Bujak, Ed Linane, Floyd Leigh and Chuck Kluk were the ones doing the high kicking to the old time favorite "Robert E. Lee". Next the master of ceremonies jfc^ought forth Rose Blanc. "Sophie "Tucker of Lakeland Park". Dressed in a long. black velvet dress in the high fashion of the gay nineties and a big red velvet flapper hat, Rose sang beautifully and in the Sophie Tucker style, three popular songs of that era, "I'm Only a Bird in a Guilded Cage," "A Good man is hard to Find" and with the audiencej yelling for more, she sang "Carolina in the Morning". We all would have loved to hear more but the M.C. rushed us on to watch Joan and Bill Krater do an exhibition dance. Joan looked lovely and Bill handsome as they glided across the floor with the perfection of professionals. They danced their Tango before the audience of over two hundred people with an ease of only those who know how. Mr. Reinhardt then announced the "Four Flats". These boys really took us back to the gay nineties with their excellent barbershop harmonizing. The fellows were dressed in the traditional style, stiff white shirts, black bow ties, white vests, dark trousers and derby hats. They even wore black handle-bar mustaches and carried linen towls to complete their costumes. With the audience urging them on the "Four Flats" sang "Way Down Yonder in the Cornfield" with Bud Uttich taking the baritone lead, "Silver Threads Among the Gold," "Bill Bailey Won't You Please Come Home" with Ken Boyce doing an excellent bass solo part, and "I Only Want a Buddy, Not a Sweetheart". The boys not only made beautiful harmony they provided lots of laughs with the crazy antics they pulled while they sang. Wally Laurence, Bernie Laurence, Bud Uttich, and Ken Boyce made up the quartet -- they should keep it going so we can hear more! To bring the floor show to a close, the Clorettes came out to do more fancy steps and were joined by the rest of the cast to sing "Side by Side". The audience was lasked to participate in the last chorus, ending the show on a gay and happy note. This WHS a wonderful show, with loads of laughs, fun and talent. The decorations of the hall should also be mentioned. Cochairmen of the dance, Roy Meineke and Jerry Rogers erected a band stand, which several of the L.P. ladies covered with pink and white crepe paper and decked it out with lovely spring flowers which they made themselves. The effect was stunning, girls! We should all thank Roy and Jerry, the cast of the floor show and all the workers who helped make the dance the success that it was. After the Dance "The Squares" met at the Grote home after the dance where Virginia and Ray served delicious home-made sausage sandwiches and coffee. This was a strictly "no shoes" party with everybody relaxing and discussing their good time at the dance. Rose and Chuck Kluk, Bud and Dorothy Uttich, Glen and Irene Uhles, Floyd and Ann Leigh, Jerry and Dolores Rogers, Wally and Betty Lau* ence and Tom and Jetta Gleeson enojyed the Grotes' hospitality. Joan Krater served a snack to the Roy Meinekes Roy's mother, Mrs. R. Meineke from Desplaines, and Mr. artd Mrs. Steppick fi-om Des Plaines and Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Rogers.

Bobby fell with the bricks coming along behind him and he wound up with two badly smashed fingers. Kenneth Spencer was treated to a very special day with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Potocki and his brother and wife Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Spencer from Chicago.

Everyone will be asked to play a part in this crushde. If the cerebral palsied are to get the things they need, professional people cannot do the job alone. Although the actual treatment of CPs, for the most part, must be left to highly trained specialists, local state and national programs are dependent on the support of the average citizen for their success--people who are willing to give their time and money to the Crusade against CP. We have heard and read of the legendary Knights of King Arthur's Round Table in the sixth century. According to one version of the legend, King Arthur taught hisS,Knights to live the "Golden Rule" and each time they aided someone in distress it was considered a "Golden Deed." Those most interested In cerebral palsy feel that the "Golden Deed Crusade" will soon come to have as deep a meaning to the American public as Christmas Seals and the March of Dimes, j But symbols in themselves do not ; accomplish objectives; people must give them meaning. Behind every Golden Deed there must be an individual. The Crusade cart and will do mtich to provide the cerebral palsied with the opportunities they needo to become useful, productive Americans. When you are asked to take part in the crusade, member the Golden Rule, and yourself: "What would you done unto you?"
