A Thursday, April 5, 1962 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Sunny side Estates MUSIC FESTIVAL AT WOODSTOCK THRILLS REPORTER Joan Wulczynsld - EV. 5-3105 March 26 proved to be one ^of the most memorable days I have ever spent. That was the day that the sixth, seventh and eighth graders (112 in all) of St. John school of Johnsburg attended the music festival at St. Mary's school in Woodstock. There wore eight different schools participating, including St. Joseph, Richmond; St. Margaret Mary, Algonquin; St. Mary and St. Patrick, Mc- ^Hehry; St. Peter and Paul, Cary; and St. Thomas, Crystal Lake. The day started off with carloads of our boys and girls leaving St. John's about 9:.S0 a.m. and driving to Woodstock for 10:30 Mass. Upon arriving the children were ushered to their seals in church and ihe parent drivers were directed ^where to park and were ush- Pered to the choir loft (the best seat for sight and sound'. Just imagine the voices of almost 500 children singing the Parises of God while the sun shone through the stained glass windows. It maybe sounds exaggerated, but believe me it isn't. Even my goose pimples had ducky bumps, it was so thrilling an experience. Father ^Murphy of St. Mary's was celebrant of the Mass and when Mass was over he thanked the children and told them that he thought at times during the Mass that their voices were as beautiful as any of the Nine Choirs of Heavenly Angels. After Mass the children were placed in the care of different mothers and were made comfortable in classrooms until wlunch was served in the cafeteria. Al! the Sisters were served lunch at the convent and the parent drivers had two hours to enjoy lunch and browse around town. The afternoon program was held in the gymnasium „ and consisted of songs sung by the entire group of children, starting with the Star Spangled ^Banner, followed by McNa- ^mera's Band and an Irish Lullaby. After this, each school did songs by themselves. Our school sang This is My Country, Oklahoma, and Seventy- Six Trombones, St. Mary's and St. Patrick's of McHenry each did a square dance. The program concluded with the entire - group singing together again. This time the songs were St. ^ Joseph, Our Certain Hope and Like t ho Dawning. 7 Page Eleven The entire day was conduc ed in an orderly, wellmannered fashion and the hospitality of the Sisters at St. Mary's made the day, as I said before, a very memorable one. If it is held again next year, I hope to be able to attend. I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Baby Arrives Mary and Red Davis of Grandview Drive became the proud parents of a 6 lb., 14 oz. baby boy who arrived the morning of March 28 at St. Joseph hospital, Chicago. Michael, as he shall be called, will be welcomed home by Bill, Neil, Mark, Monica and Maureen. Congratulations to the Davis family. Another Baby March 28 proved to be quite popular with the stork, it seems, for that was also the rlriy that Donna and Ray Jensen. also of Grandview Drive, were blessbd with a baby boy. Donald Rex arrived at 6:12 p.m. at McHenry hospital weighing 8 lbs., 7 ozs. He was a little early according to the doctor's calculations, but Donna said she knew it all the time. Ray, Jr., a "big" brother of two, is anxiously waiting for Mommy to bring the baby home, where Grandma Lil Jensen is holding down the fort. Christening: Lawrence Joseph Palmer was baptized on Sunday. March 25, at St. John's church. He really let himself be held in church as his Godmother, Bernadine Grist, and Godfather, Walter Roy, (both of our subdivision) will tell you. When he returned from church his sister. Cathy, and brothers. Sherwood and Marty, plus most of his relatives were there to grant his every wish. From Evanston. came his maternal grandparents. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph J. Giannini; his uncle. Joseph H. Giannini: and great-aunt. Mrs. Mary Rosinsky. From Wheeling, his aunt, (Marge's sister) and uncle. Jeanne and Earl Eaton, and four cousins, Tommy, David, Lenny and Jimmy. It was a double celebration as it was also Lenny's twelfth birthday. From A n t i o c h, his aunt (Marge's sister* and uncle, Dot tie and Hugh Joyle, and j cousins, Joey, Mary Beth, Timmy and Michael. Due to the ! illness of his paternal grand- ; mother, the telephone was used to include her and Grandfather Palmer and Aunt Lenore in the festivities. From the subdivision to help celebrate came Dolores and Tom Hananhan and children; Bernadine's better half, Bill; because of recent illness of Walter's wife, Irene, she rerrfained at home, but her children came with their „dad; also there were Pat and Dale Kuntz and children; Jim Stevens; and several other friends who dropped in and out during the day. It was amazing how well Larry weathered the entire day as did his parents, Marge and Harold Palmer. Another Doable Another christening took place on March 25. This one was Ann Theresa Thelen's, baby daughter of Bunny and Verne Thelen (former neighbors). God mother was Betty I^akowske of our subdivision and Godfather was Leander Lay, who works with Verne; and the scene of the baptism was Stto Peter's church in Spring Grove. Upon returning home from church. Bunny served a lovely dinner including turkey and ham and all the trimmings to Grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Thelen; Betty and Bob Lakowske and children, Mary Jane and Johnny; and the Leander Lay family.

Cookie hostesses were Audrey Seliga and Leonie Schneider and Mother Helper was Mrs. Schultz. Sybaquay Girl Scout Council. Alice tells me they learned so much so fast that she came home with a headache. There were five women trainers for the five and one-half hours it took and while one was working with them the next one was getting her things set up. Such things as dancing, singing, weaving, painting, etc. were taught. This, you understand, was for Brownie and Girl Scout Leaders to help them form new ideas for things to do with the girls. Although I had signed up for it, I was unable to attend due to sickness, but Alice promised to share her? knowledge with me. Nice gal, she. Condolences To Lois *»nd Herb Anderson on the de&th of her uncle, George Green, of Chicago. Mr. Green was a widower at the time of his death. Our sympathy to all his relatives. Workshop Alice Bieschke and Sylvia Obstfelder, leader and co-leader of Brownie Troop 150, recently attended an Arts Workshop caravan sponsored by Dojfs Now that spring is here again (we hope) let this be a reminder to all dog-owners. You are supposed to keep your dog on your property or on a leash, at all times. I know this sounds like the same old story, and that's just what the dogs are. the same ones through other people's lawns, gardens, shrubbery, etc. If you can't take proper care of a dog you don't deserve to own one, in my opinion. If you are one of those people bothered by straying dogs, feel free to call and have the dog picked up. The numbers to call are FEderal 8-2040, extension 50; or 385- 0541. so, needless to say, Emma was happy to have them. Shirley and Mel Simmons played host to Mel's mother and brother, Mrs. Anna Simmons and Floyd Simmons, for a week recently. Mrs. Simmons, Sr., has been living in Kenosha, Wis., with her daughter, Mrs. Betty Copen, and with a break in the weather it seemed ideal time to come out and help Shirley plan her garden. Floyd is known around the neighborhood as Mr. Fix-it. Roads At a recent meeting of the road committee it was decided to fill the bad holes for the time being. This was accomplished with the help of the following gentlemen: Gunnar Tohanson. Bob Kelso, Allen Kimbro, George Kropf, Jerry Olsen. Andrew Sabby and Roy Schroeder. A further survey will be made and a report given at the next association meeting. held only six times a year, surely one person from each family could, and should, attend. If you expect to get things done this summer, please speak up now so as to get things underway. Rome wasn't built in a day and neither will Sunnyside Estates be, but if someone from each household will attend each meeting then, and only then, can things be accomplished. End ot speech. Signing Off That's about it for this week, and, believe it or not, the only J sick person to report was me. Poor Stan's been racing around like mad trying io do all he -•an before he left for work, and Judy got a good workout. I finally got some rest. Feeling fine again and, God willing, I'll be back next week. Keep calling. IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE NOT A PASSENGER Arlene Babarsky, whose father's car .Glen E.
