Serving with him is Dick Hiller as vice-president, Tom Oeffling, secretary, and Tom Huemann, treasurer. Club directors are: Fred Smith, Ben Schmitt, Bud Miller, Stanley Freund, Si Meyers and Hank Miller. We wish these men success in the year ahead with their duties as the pfficers of the Johnsburg Community Club. Announces Engagement Mr. and. Mrs. William Meyer of 3808 N. Spring Grove road recently announced the engagement of their daughter, Lynn Marie, to Clifford Odell of Southhampton, New York. Lynn is a R.N. working at St. Therese hospital in Waukegan and her fiance is a petty officer in the Navy, now stationed at Bath, Maine. The young couple plan an April 24 wedding.

Enjoying the Hiller hospitality were the Louie Schmitt family, the families of Bob Knox, Paul Hiller and Don Bentz, also Lee Hiller and Bernadette Wegener. Hospital Patients The old year closed out by finding many of our residents hospitalized. In the Woodstock hospital we found that Katherine Althoff was listed as a patient. Bill Smith entered there also last week and we are hoping he is home by the time this comes to print. Bill May made a quick trip to the same hospital one night last week but was released a day and a half later. He is feeling pretty "chipper" now. Karl Anna was released from the McHenry hospital after being a patient there for awhile. Undergoing knee surgery in the Mc- Henry hospital last Thursday morning was Richard Dehn. He returned home on Sunday for a lengthy recuperation period. To all of these we wish much health in the new year and we hope this year is kinder to them.
