Thursday, April 25, 1963 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER ¥*ge Tweeiy-One Sunnyside EititwEt TEENAGERS ENJOY GRADUATING TRIP INTO CHICAGO Joan Walczynski S85-S106 Easter Monday is always a long-awaited day for the eighth grade students at St. John's school; for it is on that day that they take their graduation trip. This year six of our local teenagers are members of the graduating class at St. John's; they are Mary Farley, Cathy Palmer, Patti Voight, Bill Davis, John Fiedler and Berni Janicki. All the Sisters were allowed to go along, but poor Sister Celestia remained at Iprrv? due to illness. i The day was a huge success and they were on the go from early morning until late that evening, but they certainly covered a lot of ground. The places they toured included the Board of Trade, Museum of Science aftd Industry, Chinatown, Garfield Park Conservatory, Maxwell Street, Cfindy Company and O'Hare Airport They stopped for lunch atjmidday and then on their way home they stopped at a drivein for burgers, etc. At the end of the day you couldn't tell the tiredness due to the happiness that radiated from each and everyone of them. Their eyes still light up when they tell of the wonderful time they had. Birthday Party Donnie Rose turned eight years old on April 11, so mother Mary gave a party for him on Friday, April 12. Guests included Kathy Davis, Gail McDonald, Marty Jesski, Mike Maule and Mickey Siepman. Pam De- Francisco and Terry Radtke were unable to attend. The day included the children roasting hot dogs outside, but then the, weather clouded up so they went into the house to play games. Kathy Davis won the prize for two of the games and Donnie and Mickey really had everyone in stitches with their silly antics. One of the games was hiding colored Easter eggs for others to find. The party was a success. On Easter Sunday Mary and Herb Rose and son, Donnie, had the pleasure of the com- ,pany of Herb's sister, Rut!) Rose, from Racine, Wis. After dinner they took a ride which they thoroughly enjoyed. Weekend Trip The Lakowske family, (Bob, Betty, Mary Jane and Johnny i traveled to Stevens Point, Wis , for their Easter weekend, and a grand time they had. Easter dinner was at Betty's sister's home (Mr. and Mrs. Larry Rosenthal and sons); but du; ing the time spent there they also visited with her dad and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Phil Golke; her brother and family Mr. and Mrs. C lifford Golke and her other brother Mr. ai Mrs. Larry Golke and family; also numerous other relatives. While there they also attended a dance and it was a humdinger. Betty said her legs hurt clear into the middle of the next week they danced so much. Then on the way home they stopped and visited with Betty's aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Irv Juedes in Oconomowoc, Wis. Now th»y really had a full weekend. W** Kaeter Doing* Marge and Jim Farley and children (Jimmy, Mary, Steve, Kathy and Helen) were the guests of Jim's aunts, Eileen Flynn and Grace Lonergen, at a dinner for forty-two geople at a restaurant in Chicago. Marge tells me that it was a lovely Easter party with each child receiving a little gift after dinner to top it all off. Sounds like the Farleys have some mighty fine relatives. Mary and Red Davis had guests for dinner Easter Sunday, too. Mary's folks (Mike and Brigid Doherty) came in from Moline for the weekend; as did Mary's , brother and family, Billy and Fran, and their children from Cincinnati, Ohio. Billy is a high school history teacher, ias well as basketball coach, thus enabling him to get away for a trip during Spring vacation. Mary's brother, Jack, and his. wife, Louise, and their three children came out from Maywood to have dinner with the family, as if I'm not mistaken this is the first time in a long while that they have all been together at one time. No one had a better time than all the children including Bill, Neil, Mark, Monica, Maureen and little Michael. On the previous Friday evening, Red and the three older boys had been guests of Grandpa Davis at a fish fry sponsored by his club. So, it looks like the Davises had a happy, full weekend, too. Millie and George Kropf had a houseful of guests for the Easter holiday. For dinner the guests included Millie's mother and sister, Mae Becvar and VI Crane: George's mother, Tillie Kropf; Vi's inlaws, Florence and Will Panther and Ken Crane; and, of course, thetr own two sons, George and Ray. For supper that evening there were additional guests; Tiny and Elwood Crane and daughter, IJinda, from Lakeland Park; and the Walczynski family (too numerous to mention!) The guests all had a grand time, as is customary at the Kropf home. And while we're on the subject of Easter weekend, I may as well tell you about the rest of our lovely holiday. Since Stan is off from work on Good Friday, we took advantage of the three day weekend to finish work around the house, plus doing a lot of shopping, both for the house and the family. Friday was mostly work, and on Saturday we drove into Chicago where we had our Easter food blessed at St. Mark's church. It was the first time we had been in the new church there and it was beautiful beyond words. On Sunday we attended Mass together and even Paul behaved quite well. That afternoon we took a drive and had the pleasure of the company of Mae Becvar and Tillie Kropf. In the evening we had supper with the Kropfs and then Stan and I visited with my folks (all the children had been there in morning, parading in their Easter outfits). It was a mighty busy, but mighty happy holiday weekend for us. Spoiled Holiday The Noah family had their holiday spoiled by the fact that Kelly entered McHenry hospital on Saturday and was a mighty sick fellow for a number of days. The infection has cleared up and he is back home now, but it will take a good while for him to be back cm par. Water Company Today is the day of the meeting at the Illinois Commerce Commission, of which all residents were notified. This is to inform you that the attorney for the association will attend the meeting in our behalf and thus it will not be necessary for the residents to attend. Report At Meeting A report oh the water company meeting will be given at the May meeting of Sunnyside Estates Home Owners Association, Inc., said meeting to be held on Thursday evening, May 9, at 8 o'clock at the Jobnsburg public school.

As our community grows more and more cars, trucks and service vehicles roll over our roads, creating more frequent and costly repairs and maintenance work. The funds available for such work is derived from the $12 annual dues collected from residents. You have only to look at the recent budget report to check the tremendous amount spent on road repairs. Some of our residents do not seem to realize that 100 percent cooperation with the association is necessary for the road committee to continue its maintenance and snow removal program. If we lose interest they will soon become impassable and impossible to use. When this happens in your community a sloppy and haphazard subdivision is born. Is this what you want? Surely it is not, so let's all work together. Repair of the large holes on the roads will begin on Saturday, April 27, on May fair Drive. Help will be needed to fill these holes. Just about everyone here has a car therefore everyone should be willing to help. Speaking of help! The trash collection of last Saturday was a huge success in the sense that we certainly got the empty lots and homes cleared of a lot of rubbish. There were a good number of men busy that morning burning off the empty lots and piling the rubbish. Ray Jensen and his Boy Scouts of Troop 144 deserve a lot or credit for their part in this project. However, I must say it was a shame that only five men turned out to help load the truck with all the junk that was put out and a lot of it wasn't light by any means. There wore more than just a few truckloads and these ^men worked for over four hours r^ft seems to me that more men in the subdivision could have helped even if it had to be for just a little while. Orchids to those who ^Ud-VHelge Dettlow, Ray Jensen, Jim Leahy, Harold Palmer and Stan Walczynski) and to Frank May for sticking with the men until the job was completed. Fashion Show Plus St. John's Home and School Association will sponsor a children's fashion show (put on by a local child's shop) on Tuesday evening, May 7, at the Community Club hall. After the fashion show, there will be coffee and dessert plus fun for all. Tickets may be obtained from any member of the association or from ticket chairmen, Meg Joyce and Ethel Heim.

Also you might be interested to know that Alice Bieschke and Betty Lakowske attended a song and dance session in B^lgin, directed by Janet Tobitt, who is the author of a number of Scout song books. At the meeting of April 11 the girls had a uniform inspection after the usual dues and attendance records were taken care of. This was followed by the making of "sit-upons"; work on their health aid badge; and the learning of the music magic game. The meeting ended with a friendship circle. There was no treat served. At the meeting of April 18, the girls again had their usual business meeting and inspection. Then they painted plaques, prepared their skit for the father-daughter banquet and learned the song and dance. Skip to My Lou. Some girls also performed in keeping with the requirements of different badge*, on which they are working. Cookie hostesses were Mary Jo Kennebeck and Marta Martin and the birthdays this week included Debbie von Obstfelder and Rosemarie Thelen. The girls closed their meeting with a friendship circle. Alice Bieschke also attended the Valley View Neighborhood meeting on Wednesday afternoon. Tonight there is a Sybaquay Council meeting in Elgin. Troop 295 spent their entire meeting working on their entertainment for the Father^ Daughter banquet. Oh, yes, a last reminder to all -Girl Scouts and their, parents. The deadline for reservation for the Father-Daughter banquet is tomorrow, April 26. Anyone not having their reservation in by that date will be unable to attend.
