He was Harry Berry, Jr., 15, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry * Berry of 100 Orchard Drive. Details appear on the front page of the Plaindealer. Each and every member of the community extends deepest sympathy to this family in their hour of grief. It was a tragic accident and we sincerely pray that there will be no repetition.

Sound the Alarm In order to prevent further tragic accidents, Chief of police Larry Murray has requested that NO TIME BE WASTED in sounding the alarm. The siren was mounted on a pole located in the center of the beach for emergencies. If there is any chance that someone may have gone under, CALL FOR HELP. Every minute counts and may mean the difference between life and death. A word of caution-- youngsters are warned not to tamper with the siren or send out a FALSE alram.

Top Scholar We point with pride to Tom Olsen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ole Olsen of Spring Road who led his class of 171 young high i school students in scholarship. His picture appears on the front page. Tom had hopes of being tied for second place position and was completely surprised when informed of his standing! This young man is not only a top scholar, but a fine yong man as well. As the eldest in the family, he has been a great help with the two younger children, Ted and Margie, and has held down a job of some sort since he was very young, or many years he was the faithful news carrier of the Plaindealer. We think he deserves heaps of praise! On Sunday, a graduation party was held at the home of his parents in his honor. Among the guests were his paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Theodor Olsen, <^ffie Willard Schultz family, Mr. and Mrs. Sibre Whiting and daughters (especially Sandy!) Mr. and Mrs. Bill Wells and family, and the Levesque tribe. It was a wonderful party in honor of a pretty wonderftil guy! Mourn Los of Friend Elsie and Ray Osterby were deeply grieved by the recent passing of Elsie's brother-inlaw, Leif Monge of Chicago. Ray and Leif were boyhood chums and Mr. Monge was instrumental in furthering the romance between the Osterbys. During the depression, the two men earned a living by peddling fish on the northwest side of Chicago. Hradly a stranger to our locale were the Monges for they managed to visit with Elsie and Ray every two weeks for the past 15 years. stocked with black bass afi'd blue gills in October.
