Then a short meeting was held at which we all met our new M.Y.F. counselors. They are Mr. and Mrs. Doyne Baker of Ringwood. The Bakers live up on the hill in Ringwood and are the parents of four children. The Bakers will be our counselors for the next year and we hope they will enjoy us as we will enjoy them.

Even though we now have new officers, they won't become active until sometime in the early fall when we will have the new freshmen initiated into the Sr. Hi. After our elections, the M.Y.F. again joined the Methodist men for entertainment. To end the evening Dr. Staford from Rogers Park gave i very interesting talk. 1 Graduating Program Next Monday evening, May 27, there will be a program put on by the school children in honor of the Ringwood students graduating from McHenry junior high. Since we do not as yet have all eight grades here (starting next year we will) it was decided Ringwood would still have a party for our eighth graders. The music teacher, Mrs. Ritt, along with our teachers, has planned a program for this affair. All are invited to attend and have refreshments after the program. Let's have a good turnout for the graduation party. Entire School Enjoys Trip Last Thursday, Art SmejkaTs, Mrs. Mecklenberg, Mrs. London and Mrs. Bacon took the entire school on their yearly trip with Herb Bert driving the bus. First stop was the Museum at Wadsworth which seemed to hold the attention of all the youngsters, especially the boys, as it consisted of a great many displays of the different types of guns used during the different wars. Next on the agenda was the Hawthorne-Melody Farms in Libertyville. This fascinated the lower grades in particular, since there was also a small zoo on the farm. Last stop before going home was the McHenry Dam. Many of the youngsters had never seen it and enjoyed the sight. Back to the school in Ringwood was the next stop, and if your children came home and told you all about it as mine did, you felt just as though you'd been there. I did. It was a wonderful treat for the boys and girls, I'm sure. dinner with the Mayor and his staff of Rockford. Last Monday morning Pat was a guest on the George Menard TV program in connection with the American Dairy Association's dairy promotion. I am sorry, to say I missed seeing her, but I am told it was a very interesting program. Pat will be a busy gal during the month of June, since it will be dairy promotion month.

AS" ARE gj. by Russ Emerson The pros and cons of cigaret smoking are legion, but a new wrinkle, it seems, has been added. There is belief in some quarters that heavy smokers who stop are better off in some respects than individuals who have never smoked. It seems that once-heavy smokers who quit voluntarily had a lower incidence of heart disease than any group in the particular series of tests involved. In fact, the heart disease rates were 12c/r for heavy smokers (two or more packs a day), 5% for non-smokers, and only 3 'A for ex-smokers. Smokers, non-smokers and ex-smokers all have one thing in common, however: they all appreciate the quick, courteous attention they get at MILLSTREAM DRUGS, INC.'S prescription counter.

When they arrived they found the rest of Grandma's family there, too. A fine day was had by all. The Walczynski family showed "Mom" a wonderful day, too. All the way from breakfast in bed to taking care of little Paul all day.

The second grade first communicants will be the living rosary. More details next week. Did You Remember?. Today was spring clean up and pick up day for our subdivision. Did you remember to put out all the garbage you wanted to? Scout News Troop 88 had their first perfect attendance all year. Sounds odd? Not really, considering there are thirty-five girls in Alice Bieschke's troop; and with all the sickness that went around this winter, etc., it isn't easy to get that many girls together all at one time. Their meeting consisted of the following: Dues and attendance. Then the girls went outside and laid trails and other girls followed them. Next tjiey practiced, a flag ceremony and a skit for the Mother-Daughter luncheon (which was held cn Saturday, May 18). Then they talked some about camping and ended the meeting with a friendship circle. Troop 295 spent their entire meeting preparing for their Court of Awards held on Sunday, May 19. They finished the centerpieces for the tables; finished their surprises for their parents and practiced their skits. They spent the last half hour playing games outside (and they even had me running around with them).
