St. Mary's varsity basketball team added to its laurels 'by annexing the title at the diocesan district tournament at Elgin. They went on to win the championship at Sterling defeating St. Mary's of Aurora "for the title. Those Majors did some fancy bowling. Bob Larsen listed a £278 game and 684 series.

Tfhe Shamrocks will have a new manager this year. Charlie Pierce. Sr., a minor league pitcher of some experience, will take over the club. And Joe Frett was pressed back into service as manager of the Johnsburg Tigers. S.I.H. wore green on St. Patrick's day just in case anyone didn't see the map of Ireland stamped on his face. The McHenry Rotary club sponsored a successful basketball game for the Easter Seal fund. The old boys put a lot of effort into the game, but the crazy uniforms had the crowd in stitches. "Put and Take" referred to S.I.H. as his "Foreign Correspondent". Our California correspondent, Frank Justen, wrote nice things about Charlie Hiller of the San Francisco Giants, as did Molly and Ted Budil. April A MCHS graduate, Roger Benson, made the trip to Texas for some spring baseball with the Illini team. Andy McCarroll missed a 700 series by a whisker--699 pins.

Special trophies were awarded to Tom Thoma (cross country), Dan Kinnerk (wrestling) and Bob Miller (basketball) at the sports banquet sponsored by the Rotary club. June Johnsburg Tigers beat the Shamrocks 4-2 in a good ball game at the McHenry diamond. While visiting in the Clarence Smith home S.I.H. noticed some nice loaves of fresh bread. He opened his mouth and went home with a loaf in it and vowed that was eatin! Life was brighter for S.I.H. after the White Sox came through with a string of victories. July The bus load of baseball fans who toured up to Milwaukee were on their way home before anybody noticed that Eddie Frett wis not present. He was out in left field without a bicycle. Somebody with a fast car took pity on the boy left behind and caught up to the bus. Eddie might have been hiding behind those whiskers. The new Plaindealer office has a new desk and chair in a corner up front with a sign "SPORTS EDITOR." It's real nice but your sports editor hardly knows how to act. Johnsburg Tigers were eliminated in their first game played in the state tournament at Elgin. S.I.H. took a "Flying" trip to New Mexico to visit his son, Jack, former outdoor editor. The terrific mauling the White Sox got from the Yankees had nothing whatsoever to do with the trip. August The summer season is slipping away and football talk is in the air. Schedule for physi- Seveaie&i cal examinations for high school atheletes appealed in the Plaindealer. The Johnsburg nine came out on top of a 12 to 11 score to win the first of a three game series with Crystal Lake for the county league playoffs championship.

Marunde of Mill stream Drive was proudly showing the 30 pound muskie he caught in Middle McKinzie Lake near Spooner, Wis. P. H. (Bill) Billcter was a happy man when he shot a hole in one at McHenry Country club on the 8th hole. The Warriors played a scoreless tie with Libertyville. October Robert Larson bowled a 719 series. His games were 215, 228 and 276. It was a happy McHenry crowd that filed out of Mc- Cracken Field after watching Paul Mandli's Warriors trounce Crystal Lake 27-0. Conference records fell when McHenry Warriors triitimed Woodstock Blue Streaks 60-0. McHenry Warriors defeated Palatine 9-6. It was the first time this season that McHenry's goal was crossed.

November One of the most# impressive nights in Warripr history took place on McCracken field when the team and coaches were presented with a key to the city in recognition for their undefeated season and the North Suburban Conference championship. In the final game of the year the Warriors defeated Dundee 14-6. Five Warriors were named among the twenty-two All C o n f e r e n c e f o o t b a l l p l a y e r s chosen by head coaches representing North Suburban teams.

Joe Etten was up to his old tricks with a bowling ball and led the Majors with a 647 series that included a 258 game. Harv Jensen had a 636 series that normally would have rated top billing. Betty Clark led the C.D. of A. girls with 204- 571. Thanksgiving Day and S.I.H. is thankful for many things. Hottest bowling news was a great 704 series by Wally Webb. Mary Lou Thennes hit identical games of 179 to roll a 527 series in the C.D. of A. group. The Warriors w.on the opening game of their basketball schedule when they defeated Grant Township 54-41.

The bowlers -were really knocking down the maples. Bob Larsen had a lofty 695 series hitting 277 in the third game. Imagine Vic Paustian bowling a 687 series and not being top man? Betty Clark had a 569 series with the C.D. of A. S.I.H. failed to notice that Barb Gil- Eastwood Manor EMPOA Meets January 19 Edie Iverson - 886-6388 Friday, Jan. 19, is the date of the first E.M.P.O.A. meeting in 1962.
