Twice Told Tales FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the rili^ of June 18 ,1931) V Cadet Floyd , E. Covalt returned to his home here Sunday after a most successful year at St. John's Military Academy, at Delafield, Wis, An event of note which may never be repeated in the history of McHenry occurred last week when three McHenry high school graduates received degrees conferred upon them at the commencement exercises of the University of Illinois colleges of medicine, dentistry and school of Pharmacy in Chicago. They are William Nye, son of Dr. N.J. Nye and Leo Thelen of Chicago, for­ merly of McHenry, and Miss Grace Martin from the school of nursing at St. Anthony <De Padua hospital which is af­ filiated with the university of Illinois. Seventy-four friends, and relatives of\A.G. Bishop of Medford^ OreT'^spent Sunday with him in a picnic at Bar­ nard's Mill near Wonder Lake. H E.

St. Patrick's congregation was organized in 1840, thirteen years before the erection of the old Church by the Rev. De St. Palais. The first Catholic settlers of that £arly date were John and Michael Sutton, George Frisby and James Gibbs. Until 1853, Holy Mass &as offered occasionally and the sacraments administered in the homes of a few residents. In that year there was such an influx of immigrants from Kilkenny, Ireland, that it was necessary to build a church.

In the opened the Thursday night team played heads-up baseball to beat the Co-ops irrSft^ose one, 6 to 5 Walter Low again twirled for the "Nighters" and turned in a nice piece of performance. "Howie" Freund, star left fielder, helped the cause by making several beautiful catches. "Moe" Meyer had his fast ball in the groove and had better control than usual, but his support was weak. At the seventy-fifth annual commencement of the university of Illinois June 16 f degrees were received by six persons from McHenry county including two fpom the McHenry community, Curtis Newman > who received his B.S. degree in accounting and Everett Siedschlag of Spring Grove who was awarded his B.S. degree in agriculture.
