THE MCHENRY PLMNDEALER Thursday. June 4, 1984 McCullom Lake Man Strickete During Program Eve Levesque Howard (Pat) Cairns, former Commander of World War I Barracks and a participant in Our Memorial Day program at the beach, became ill while in the line of march and laid down under a tree to rest. Spectators became alarmed by his actions and color' and summoned our local police. They called for an ambulance and the McHenry rescue squad answered the alert also, but their services were not required. Mr. Cairns recovered sufficiently to enter the ambulance under his own power. He was kept at McHehry hospital until his release which was expected some time Monday. He underwent a series qf tests and according to report^ it was suspected that the veteran had suffered a mild heart attack, We are extremely grateful to be able to write a happy ending to this story. Stirring Memorial Day Program With the bright sunshine and practically no wind, our Memorial Day program was truly a fitting tribute to our departed heroes, the four men whose names, appear on our memorial plaque. Rich Johnson performed an outstanding service as master of ceremonies, and our thanks to Jim Morris, son of Monica Morris, as lay clergyman are boundless. Jim, a junior at McHenry high who intends to enter the Baptist ministry, delivered the invocation and the benediction in a very touching manner. Truly an inspiration. Young miss--Jackie Whitney was a credit to her Girl Scout troup as she led the pledge to the flag. Jake Levesque, village president, and Dominic Volpendesta, Commander of the Legion post, both offered a few remarks to the assembly.

Feel free to patronize-- the kids will love' you for it! Verbal Orchids To Music Teacher Mrs. Shirley Watkins, musical director for the fifth grade classes (at Landmark school) deserves a verbal bouquet for the marvelous job she does with these children. Many of our local mothers attended the year's end program presented at the junior high school and were amazed with the results. She led the youngsters through many difficult numbers, including illustrations on the stage. Their enthusiasm attests to her knowledge both of her subject and to her skill with children.

Levesque and Jean Guettler of Flanders road. It was truly delightful.

The mend included fried chicken, baked potatoes, corn, hot rolls, jello molds, spumoni ice cream, and plenty of milk or coffee. Following the dinner, an "Investiture" program was held where the young ladies light candles and receive pins earned during the past year. In unison, they recited the Scout oath and laws. As each young lady's name was called for her pin, her mother was asked to stand for a comparison. Mrs. Lorraine Frost was daughter Jane Marie's guest and Jackie Whitney was accompanied by her mother, Jeanette. It was an experience none of the participants is apt to forget!
