The couple were Otto and Emma Pyritz and their hosts and hostesses were the singing friends of the bridegroom of fifty years and his wife who are - or have in the past - made his friendship through the city's choral society. The occasion was touching for all concerned as a program of songs for which the veteran Santa has become well known locally, unfolded to the couple's delight. Members, some for as long as the club's twenty-seven years of existence, were seen 0 to exhibit on their countenance a variety of expressions which recalled fond memories of the veteran Otto's rendition of such favorites as "Old Man River", "The Happy Wanderer" and "By the Beautiful Sea". It was only fitting that the program should have been planned by a close friend of the couple, Mrs. James Wegener. Among former members who made a welcome appearance was Cliff Kiehl, long time president of the club during its early years, and his wife. Only occasionally are we fortunate enough to enjoy not only a moment, but an entire evening lost in the reverie of some of our most pleasant memories of the past. It is an experience for whom the gathering was "just what the doctor ordered". K.A.F. ROBERT BECKENBAUGH \ Robert Beckeribaugh, 3904 W.

The price, considering all the rewards, is surprisingly small. Those who may not qualify for a foreign student, or are not interested in applying, can still do a good turn for a future student by sending in contributions to Mr. and Mrs. Ed Guettler, presidents of the McHenry chapter. Hie American Field Service, a non-profit non-sectarian organization, deals with a precious commodity, high school age boys and girls. The aim is not to turn them into Americans, but to let them see, at first hand, what the United State is like, and to enable them to give an idea of their country and their culture to the American family, school and community that "adopt" them for a year. The program began modestly twenty-one years ago with the bringing of fifty-two students to this country. In 1967 there were 3,080 . In all these years, 28, 359 foreign students have spent a year in the United States. It's NEW...It's DEPENDABLE HALO.
