The band has just completed a very successful 1970-71 year. The varsity band received a first place rating in the state band contest in the spring of 1971 and as a result, received an invitation to play at the Illinois State Fair in Springfield Aug. 16. Because the band Hid so very well, the Harrison school board voted to allow them to go to Springfield where they were recognized with a first place in the Junior high division. The school board, all parents and Wonder Lakers are justly proud of these young musicians and their director. Eighth graders who par­ ticipated at the State Fair are absent from photo.

Lakeland Park Kay Druml 385 0854 Scribe Kay Patient In Local Hospital Kay is in the hospital this week relaxing and recuperating so there will only be a very short column. Her room number is 305, Bed 2, at McHenry if you would care to send her a cheer up card. We sure hope she's back at the old stand real soon. NEWS BITS Ken Becker was home on leave last week for a few days. He is stationed at Ft. Jackson, Columbia, South Carolina where he is training with the Army Rangers. He took a few of his too short minutes to stop by and see Kay which improved her spirits considerably. Ray Bujak, Sr., really went wild last week and rolled an average of 207 for three games in the Wednesday night mixed league. Nothing like a really big start! Tom Wagner and his new bride of only a few weeks, Rose Delilio, were home for a weekend visit before returning to Indiana where he is stationed. May I add more good wishes for their continued happiness. John and Lorraine Arient and the kids enjoyed a weekend of vacation at Lake Wills near Coal City where her dad, Don Barta, was vacationing. Now that Parkland School is open there are a huge number of kids traveling on bikes and by foot to and from school each day. This means an additional burden is put on motorists to be alert and observe the speed limit which is often overlooked by certain drivers. Vacation time is over for everyone and we really enjoyed our end of the season trip to Hayward. Don enjoyed the fishing and brought home a 42 inch Musky weighing 23 pounds and a 4 pound bass besides walleye for our fish fry in December. Also there enjoying the marvelous week was Adele Arndt who accompanied her daughter, Lee, and husband, Ray Bujak, and kids. All the kids had fun catching fish. Robin Bujak won the prize for the most fish caught and Meg Humann caught the biggest, a 20 inch walleye. Lee Williams, David, Nick and Viv Groh rounded out the list of vacationers. Bob O'Brien and Vin Weyland came up for the weekend and the whole group plus many more enjoyed the traditional Sunday picnic which has become an annual event at Buck and Molly Burger's. Don't forget to save your glass jars and bottles for the Job's Daughters who are continuing their collection. The Schaedel home on Pleasant avenue is the collecting point for Lakeland Park. Bob Minor has been home on leave from the service. CONDOLENCES Our very deepest sympathy is extended to Shirley Ozog and her family on the death of her father. Herb Rowe, last week. Burial services were held on Tuesday afternoon. PACK 351 The Pack is holding the annual fall round-up for new members.

McHenry and northern Illinois Veterans were represented by Department of Illinois, Past Commander Harry C. Lock, and McHenry Barracks 1315 by Past Commander T.L. "Cy" Young. Lock and Young were ac­ companied by their wives on a chartered bus from Chicago in twenty-five hours. They report an excellent trip. The convention elected the following officers for the coming year: National com­ mander, J.B. Koch, Oklahoma; national senior vice- commander, A.O. Soderholm, Oregon; national junior vice- commander, Joseph S. Withington, Missouri, who was Judge Advocate the past year. The five most important items adopted by the Con­ vention were as follows: 1. A pension for all veterans of W W. I with no income limitations. This supports House Bill H.R. 3650. 2. Retain Nov. 11 as Ar- be back in their usual spot next week. Hopefully Kay will be back on the job by then, but if not call anyway so that your column is still there. Get well soon, Kay. Sincerely, Carole Humann, guest columnist.
