7 v • Athletic Director Honored During the half-time proceedings at the DpKalb McHenry football game of last Friday night, the McHenry Teachers' Association awarded Mac McCracken, athletic director of McHenry high school, a gold pin for his forty years of service to the Mchenry schools. For forty years Mac McCracken has watched the athletic teams of McHenry high school; has coached boys in every sport, seen them grow into men, and then has coached their sons. Forty years is a long time for some, but not for Mac. He's always too busy for sitting around and becoming nostalgic. "I don't remember any one team in particular," he said the day before the opening football game. "There have been a lot of good teams in all the sports." Then he mused a bit and recalled one golf team from the years past. "We won second in the state tournament that year. The boys thought they had won the state championship and were celebrating when they got the news that a fellow on another Bow Hunters Get Another Chance in Special Season for Deer Springfield, 111., Sept. 6 -- Bow hunters will have another chance to feather into a whiter tail on the Gardner Division of the Mark Twain National Wildlife Refuge, near Quincy.

That was a sad bunch of boys." Mac came to McHenry in 1928. Before that he had attended the University of Illinois and had taught two years. McHenry has been his home ever Since. Not wanting to "toot his own horn," as he put it, Mac kept changing the subject back to sports at McHenry. "We should have a good * season in football if none of the front-line starters get hurt. Depth is our big problem." What does Mac see in the future? "I'm hoping to see swimming started as an interscholastic sport when we get that pool in the new building. The new building should herald a new era for sports at McHenry High School." That optomistic attitude along with that infectious smile and never-stop efficiency point toward just that; continued progress in athletics here at McHenry. MCHS ThmeUOs Open Season In Triangular Meet Coach Don Seaton's cross country men opened their "season this past Tuesday, September 12, with a triangular meet against Cary Grove and always powerful Elgin Larkin. The. meet .took place on McCracken field under perfect summer skies. Judging from the results of this first meet, it looks like the harriers will be once again hard pressed for manpower. The varsity squad is bulwarked by co-captains Tony Wagner and Gary Bockman. Senior Tom Fuchs and . Frank Martinez, our AFS student, are the only other seniors on the squad until Don Voight gets his physical so he can compete. Two other returnees from last years squad are juniors Dennis Roby and Mark Smith, along with Greg Sorter, who Is competing for the first time. The varsity was defeated by Larkin 20-39, while they defeated Gary Grove 23-33. Top McHenry scorers ware Wagner, 3rd, Roby 5th, sophomore Brad Pictor 8th, Fuchs in 16th place, and Bockman and Borter in 28th and 29th respectively. It lodes like Coach Seaton will once again have trouble bringing in enough runners, the necessary top finishers to score effectively, but if hard work and dedication pay off, this varsity squad could make a strong showing before the season progresses much further. The frosh-soph squad, with only four runners ready to run, finished with 23 points to 33 for Larkin and 55 for Cary Grove. There are a number of boys on this squad, but many need physical exams yet before they can compete, or need more distance training before they can compete.

Dennis Jackson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Art Jackson, is making quite a name for himself in his sophomoreyear at Northeastern A & M college. Dennis had a remarkable day on the gridiron in his team's 30-0 victory over OMA, catching 10 passes for 110 yards, including two touchdown passes. Dennis is an end and must be a heckuva good one. McHenry has two outstanding football players on Coach John Storzer's team at Ripon College. John Fleck, 225 pound junior, will take over the first string center spot. John Corso, outstanding tackle, returns to the wars after proving his worth in previous action. Sbivot I OSRITAL floSu r / SEPT. 21, 1967 - PLAINDf ALER - SEC. 1, PG. 5 by Verona Kent The traveling Team of McHenry Country Club has done it again! After a very hard fought match against a surprisingly strong Glenview Golf Club team, our gals were able to retire the trophy, having won it three consecutive years. The final matches were the tightest ones possible, McHenry taking 9^ to Glenview's 8/4 Anyone who has played at all during the year in these matches is just as responsible for the final victory as the six girls who played it, because withouTihe many others McHenry wouldn't have made the finals. Players the final day were Dee Overton, Lil Kimball, Carol Cooney, Laurayne Conway, Alice Peterson and Captain Marilyn BishOff. The Consolation Tournament, being "the final tournament of the season, was played Sept. 12th. Emily Hester won it in Class A with a 77. In Class B Verona Kent was the winner with a 73 and in Class C Leone Rauen with a 71. Today we played for the best 9 holes out of 18. In Class A Belle Vitense was the winner with a 39, Class B with a 44 Laveryne Harpling and in Class C Elaine Justen with a 45. Next week, Sept. 26th we will be playing Peoria, and this will wind up the events of the season, climaxed by the Fall luncheon (mi Oct. 17th. We hope the gals will all attend the luncheon. There will be a sheet on the bulletin board for reservations. Please don't overlook this! Ice Cream Lore The ice cream soda was introduced at the Centennial Exposition held in Philadelphia in 1879.
