g« Eighteen McHENRY Y' > V-. y~. t- ^ I Richmond Community News Bjr Phyllla Oirltoa "See HowThey Run" rPwas the title of the Junior play given Saturday eveningat the high school under the direction of Steve Cotone. The play, a farce in three acts, was very well done, very funny, especially so to anyone who lives in d parsonage. The plot 's much too involved to explain but suffice i< to say that ther-e were tjjree men of the cloth in the cast and two who at one time or another were pretending to be clergymen. The five high school gentlemen portraying the clergy looked interesting indeed in their various .garbs, which, incidentally, they borrowed from the Roman Catholic ano\ Lutheran clergymen of Richmond and Spring Grove. One of the most interesting innovations, we thought, was th.1 unusual curtain call the players took. The old maid, better known hereabouts as Jeannette Busch, lay prostrate on the stage floor While one at a time the cast leaped over her and took a bow. We heard rumors that once in rehearsal they didn't all make it and landed on Jeanette. She looked none the worse for., wear. . The stage set was designed and some of it painted by Sue Johonott. That was very lovely with stenciled walls and an outdoor scene that showed through the French doors. ie cast was Sue Harsha, Jeanette Busch, Tom Jes^ieT^Ptana Winn, John Vierke, Richard Smith? Bruce Sebo, Dave Harris and /Ron Manka. Usherettes were Marge Steadman. Vera Ahrens, Diana Carlson, Emily Austin and Joan Blackman. Mrs. Manka painted the portrait of her father and was his guest Jast week when the portrait was unveiled. Saturday, Mr. and Mrs. Claud Gordon left for White Sulphur Springs, where they planned 1o spend several days. On May 3, tomorrow, they will moot Dr. and Mrs. Harris and together the two couples will fly to Scotland. .They will attend- the Rotary International convention in Luzerne, Switzerland. After visiting twelve countries. they wil return via the southern route, with Portugal the last country they will see. They plan to return' July 5. Mr. Gordon will visit his grandson, who is stationed with the U. S. forces in Germany. We all hope Dr. and Mrs. Harris will have a good vacation. Doc has never been away from his pfitients so long, but now that w have another doctor in tlje community ,we can all feel safe and wish doc "bon voyaged" This week, Howsfrd Vogel has charge of the progkim and the s(pekker will be Bud Collier, who vHll talk on '"Tuberculosis." -intended the Business and Pro Rotary Last week, Claud Gordon gave a talk entitled "What is Rotary?" It was his farewell address as president of the club, which pos:- tion he has held since Rotary began in Richmond two years ago. A portrait of Mr. Gordon was presented to the club by his daughter, Mrs. Vincent Manka. enior 0 1 ut of town guests last week were Fred Sharp and Mr. Bryan of Harvard, John Looze, Dr. Njv and Walter Carey from McHenry.

SPRING FEVER Spring fever"" is a condition, not truly medical in nature, that affects everyone. While fever usually denotes a high temperature, this characteristic is not common to those afflicted with spring fever. It takes on many forms and symptoms ranging from a yen to be active to the Wish of "just sitting," the educational committee of the Illinois state medical society points out in HEALTH TALK. With warmer aird sunnier days just around the corner, the outdoor type victim of spring fever turns his thoughts to polishing golf clubs, testing the rod and reel, spading in the back yard or planning various sorts of recreational pastimes. The lethargic type yearns to sit and think, read, and otherwise occupy himself with the least physical activity. One characteristic common to all sufferers of spring fever is the wish for a vacation--the time to depart from all routines which form a part <>f daily living, both socially and in business. This symptom disappears, however, once the placebo recommended for everyone is digested--- a vacation of "time out" from day out existence. A vacation is, the playtime prescribed for everyone* It need not be strenuous for those who have been leading a sedentary life, but a period of change where one does things to afford joy and comfort. On the other hand, camping out or roughing it will give the needed change. No one person is exempt. Everyone .needs a change. The daily business of living can become a grind, mentally and physically. fWork can become monotonous, tedious* and burdensome, taking its toll in fatigue and restlessness. This applies to w<Srk In business or in the home and, for the chikV work in the school room. : Today additional stress and strain is endured in traveling to and from work. Transportation facilities; stores and streets are crowded, all of which create added tension in "the tired person. Temporary freedom from \the hurry and bustle of Crowds, from the problems encountered in coping with business, and with pettiness often exhibitied unwittingly by friends and associates will do much to install a new spirit in a tired adult. The same is true of a youngster who is relieved from the regular and disciplinary measures necessary in the classroom. The need for a change does not always manifest itself in early spring, for many persons thrive on a winter vacation. They seek warmer places for outdoor aetivi- . ties, $uch as golf or swimming, or colder areas where outdoor winter sports can be enjoyed. Do what you like, provided the vacation Offers a change. Many persons prefer staying at home to carry on quietly activities that are not possible at other times, while others seek travel to distant parts. Plan your vacation to give you the most' enjoyment, but remember that an overindulgence in anything may do more harm than good. Late hours, fitting too much in a sh6rt time, and excessive exercise can result in pain and fatigue. Enjoy your fever, no inatter what form it takes, provided a physical check-up assures you (hat you are in good condition, mentally and physically. Let your playtime away Irom routine activities provide the zest and revitalization you need. Properly kpplied, ijUje^rescription of a vacation ^ill restore^ equilibrium, balanced perspective- and a new/appreciation and interest . in/your occupational activity, whatever at may be.
