One by Bert Hagemann The highly successful freshman basketball team%ntinued its winning ways with a 55- 39 victory over the host squad in the annual Barrington freshman tournament. Gary Fenner led Warrior scoring with 20 tallies and 14 rebounds. He was helped out in the scoring column by Don Prazak who needed 15 of the Amphitheatre's 50,000 sq. ft. halls is being converted into a setting of earth cover and water as a stage for these events that will feature Retrievers and Spaniels and Pointers and Setters in field and water action. . The two-day show will conclude Sunday evening, April 6, when Percy Roberts, of Noroton Heights, Conn., picks the Best in Show winner from among the finalist breed winners. coutiters, and Rick Cooper and Mark Steinsdorfer with 8 apiece. Coach Gary Collines felt Steinsdorfer played his best game of the season, in coming off the bench, and he was also quite pleased with a 23 rebound advantage that the Warriors enjoyed. This wjn gave the little orange and black a 14-2 record for the season, and by the time this article is in the paper, they will have played Woodstock in the second round of tourney play. The greatest job of schools is to discover what seeds of greatness, each child has within it early enough to cultivate it into normal growth. HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY-MARCH 17 mf&ji WILDCATS OF JOHNSBURG JUNIOR HIGH share the Lakes conference championship with Oakland of Antioch. In a do or die game against Oakland, it was a 28-26 come from behind victory for the Wildcats whose only loss was to undefeated Oakland earlier in the season. The Wildcat champs are L-R kneeling; Steve Harvey, Mike Erickson, Vic Fick, Bill Stahlman, Earl Walsh SO I HEAR Sports Editor A Review Of St. Mary's Season Of Basketball Let's start right off with a letter. It's so nice to get mail. Dear Mr. Walsh, I've been reading your "So I Hear" for quite some time now, and I have yet to see you write anything nice about the Cubs. Ha Ha. I know you're an old Sox fan, but the way it looks to m«, you can forget about them this year, again. Most everybody back home would love to see a City Series this year, but I doubt it. The Cubs will be on top, but those Sox, I don't know. I hope some year they'll come up with a winner. Sure would like to see that Cub-Sox Series. It looks to me like those Cubs will be up there for a long time to come. Well, I know you are a busy man, so I won't take any more of your time. Just had to let you know Pm backing those Cubs. Oh, also saw Eddie Stanky on T.Y. the other night. He's head baseball coach for the U. of Alabama. Think he can make those college kids play for him? A loyal Cub fan, Dave Meyer P.S. If you would ever happen to run across Don Hoenes, tell him I'm very sorry I won't be able to make it in to that Cub opener with him this year, Uncle Sam won't let mo. Dear Dave, Oh, we like your Cubs. It is that small local cluB of Cub fans that we wouldn't get caught saying anthing nice about. And if they ever said anything nice to us about our Sox the shock would be too great. If they ever started treating us like old buddy-buddy, life would be too dull. We are with you. Nothing we would like better than a World Series in Chicago --no outside team.!. The Sox haven't had a pennant in a few years. And, who could begrudge the Cubs a winner? Seems to us they haven't had a winner since the > Indians had wig-wams pitched along Lake Michigan. Sure, Eddie Stanky will do well in College. In fact, we hate to adm;t he might have done better with a college team on the South Side last year. But, this year will be different. Just watch for A1 Lopez to uncork his secret weapon. Funny Uncle Sam won't let you come home for the season opener. Tell him you are a Cub fan. Bet it will bring tears to his eyes. Jokes aside, Dave. It was darn nice of you to write. Our sincere Best Wishes. "S.I.H." Since Bert's report came in on the Freshman Warriors beating Barrington in tournament play, we learn that the boys also beat Woodstock 28-25. The game was 6-6 at the quarter, 15-10 McHenry at the half, and 16-16 at the three quarter mark. Now our boys meet Carmel at 2 p.m. Saturday for the championship. Keep it up, fel- 1 lows. Met Elsie Voeltz on the street this week and had a good visit. We remember when she clerked in Bolander's store and moved over the floor with great speed. She still walks at a pretty good clip. . - We like to meet and greet old friends. A real fine person, that Elsie. On Wednesday noon at the Country Club our sandwich was served with a sham-ock on top of the bun. We learned that our German friend, Tillie Gerasch, was remomi^ering the Irish. We will be wearing that Shamrock next Monday if not before. Since this will be our last issue before St. Patrick's Day, it seems fitting and proper to get a little green into the column. So, here are a couple of swingers for those of you who are Irish -- and those who wish you were! SAINT PATRICK St. Patrick wis a gentlemen, It is time to shower some credit on the basketball players of St. Mary's grade school. Although they did not win any championships this year, they were as fine a team as there was in this area. They finished in a tie for third in the Tri- County conference right behind Co-Champion, McHenry Jr. High, and second in the American Legion tournament behind the same team. In fact, this is the only team St. Mary's played more than once that she failed to beat. Two of her four losses to McHenry were by 2-points. Every other team she Who came of decent people; He built a church in Dublin town, And on it put a steeple. His father was a Gallagher; His mother was a Brady; His aunt was an O'Shaughnessy, His uncle an O'Grady. THE° WEAR IN* C THE G3EEK O, Paddy dear, an' did ye hear the news that's goin' round? The shamrock is by law forbid to grow on Irish ground! No more St. Patrick's Day we'll keep, his color can't be seen, For there's a cruel law agin the wearin' o* the Green! I met wid Napper Tandy, and he took me by the hand, And he said, "How's poor Ould Ireland, and how does she stand?" She's the most disthressful country that iver yet was seen, For they're hangin' men and women there for wearin' o' the Green. An' if the color we must wear is England's cruel Red, Let it rgfrrind us'of the blood that Ireland has shed; Then pull the shamrock from your hat, and throw it on the sod, -- And never fear, 'twill take root there, though under foot 'tis trod! When law can stop the blades of grass from growin' as they grow, And when the leaves in summer- time their color dare not show, Then I wiL4-^hange the color, too, I wear in my caubeen, But till that day, plaze God, I'll stick to wearin' the Green.

Outstanding for St. Mary's were Captain Randy M»- ' , Dave Adams, Chris Toren, oary Afeld, Kevin Haley, Roger Wanta, and Chuck Doran. Mauch carried most of the rebounding lead and sparkled on defense along with being the second high scorer. Toren demonstrated some excellent defense and rebounding. Afeld and Haley did some fine ball handling and defense. Wanta came up from 7th grade to add rebounding strength and improved steadily in his all-around play. Doran led the team in scoring with some good passing and excellent defense. The reserves who showed some promise with more opportunity, and who "trained" the varsity were Ken Blake, Jim Leisten, Chris Kennebeck, TOm Zimmerman, and Dave Stilling. The biggest weakness of the Royals was their inability to score on rebounds and particularly to prevent their taller opponents from connecting on other rebounds. This cost them "cliff-hanging" decisions. In only one game were they "out of it" before the final minute or two. By John Fredericks Today most Americans stepped outdoors. No one will argue that. After all, going to work, walking to the store, running next door to borrow a cup of flour all involve outdoor activity. Stepping into the great outdoors, however, is an animal of another hue. Call it semantics if you like, but the "great" outdoors is that area of enjoyment which takes you out of the routine, regimented and even too-convenient way of life. This is the outdoors manifest in woods, water and fresh air. Millions of Americans are becoming closer to the great outdoors. Attribute part of the interest to economies. This affluent society has more disposable income to devottf to offtime activities. Attribute a lion's share of the popularity of the great outdoors to the fellows who have designed products geared to recreation and to the far sighted government officials and interested laymen who work hard to maintain large and small hunks of land and water for public use. Buck to Nature! Outdoor activities run all the way from a back yard barbecue to skin diving in the Bahamas, and most of the basic activities are interlocking. Although boating in itself is a fulfilling recreation, many boaters use their craft to get to ideal picnic-camping areas. Likewise, many campers purchase their equipment to give them a temporary home near the water's edge to increase their boating fun. Flying airplanes or driving four wheel drive "go anywhere" vehicles -- both growing recreations -- enable outdoor devotees to cover huge distances quickly or get to remote locations easily for fishing, camping, boating and carefree relaxation. Camping equipment manufacturers have discovered the formula for producing merchandise that offers a "back to earth" feeling while maintaining enough conveniences and portability'to appeal to the ladies as well as to the less than rugged outdoorsmen. Boating equipment is dependable and easy to maintain. Spin casting has taken the embarrassing and annoying backlash out of fishing. Plastic containers, insulated chests and jugs and fool-proof portable gas stoves take the cook from the kitchen without taking the kitchen from the cook. All the Conveniences So you want to fly. A five dollar bill will put you in the driver's seat to get acquainted. Land vehicles for outdoor recreation, from truck-camper units and roomy super-station wagons to small 4-wheel drive bugs, combine all the toughness you expect with comfort and economy you might not expect. The giant clothing industry has become outdoor conscious, too? sending to market apparel for all activities which is durable and fashionable. Features like nylon zippers to combat corrosion and permanent water proofing keep the woods and water buffs smiling. Find a camp ground and chances are the service industries will have ice machines, laundromats and soft-drink dispensers in the area. Need a new spark plug for the outboard or a guide to local attractionsa you'll find why the term "filling station" is antique and "service station" is the name. Not all recreational land is government owned. In addition to the state and national forests, parks and campgrounds, many companies and individuals turn over their private lands for public use; some free, others for nominal charge. Many timber and paper companies, for example, even publish maps for people who wish to camp, hike or picnic on their premises. Now a Stampede! "There is no longer a 'trend' toward outdoor recreation," one manufacturer of equipment asserts, "it is now a stampede." "People are becoming more sophisticated about equipment, too," he adds. "Most families who start in an outdoor activity with budget or minimum equipment soon move up to higher quality gear with better accessories and conveniences." Enjoyment of the great outdoors has become as American as you-know-what kind of pie. ITEM: P e r m a n e n t press pants come in a variety of blends and fabrics.
