Homecoming Next Weekend r |(%Jf I A I M. -j' a It takes more than planning, it takes hard work to successfully carry oat a school's homecoming. These members of the M.C.H.S. Student Council can testify to that truth as they work on last minute details in preparation for the big weekend ahead. From left, they are Anna MeClatchey, Greg Sch- mitt, Nancy Stetter, Todd Althoff, Kathi Longhway, Randy Mauch. Ivor Janci, Kevin Carroll. Mike Smith, Alan Estis, Amy Leighty, Sally Larkin and Andrea Broman. Musin' and Meanderin' mmi We thought we had heard everything in this age of over- organization until recently, when a new paradox developed with the announcement of the development of a council designed to "make kids come out and play". Somehow we thought that 's what kids always have done, are doing now and will continue to do. Not so, says the president of the new council, who plans to use the free enterprise system of this country to get them at play again. To further interest in his scheme, he points to such undertakings as Little League, its cost to play and need for expensive equipment. What the council wants is "the little charisma between two kids at play" which leaders say doesn't exist any more. Our own idea of charisma at this age was knocking down the kid next door and making him say "uncle". The plan is to get national advertisers to promote free play for children by becoming sponsors of the council, dispensing free products such as jigsaw puzzles, coloring books and kites. The twist is that each of these contains chiefly a how-to book and the rest is left to the youngsters imagination. This idea of kid participation has been in the wind for at least five years, during which time it has been researched to the point that it seems to us the whole point of the endeavor has backfired. To date, 500 of the programs have been thrown out because the kids didn't like them. Which brings us to the original point- when do you need to teach kids to play? It seems to us that the present pampering with TV isn't going to be much im­ proved with a questionnaire on (Continued on page 16) Happiness is many things to many people. To a student, and many times to loyal alumni, it is the annual celebration of homecoming. With this thought in mind, the Student Council of McHenry high school an­ nounced the theme for the 1971 observance, "Happiness is.. ." The weekend will have its start Thursday, Oct. 21, when all four classes gather around the pile of cans which have been collected for recycling. A pep rally will follow to ignite not a bonfire, but an enormous amount of spirit to back the Warriors. Friday's feature will be a 2 o'clock parade, with floats, decorated cars, bands and the king and queen candidates. The line of march will be as follows: Start at East campus, proceed south on Green to Kane avenue, then west to Center street and PLAINDEALER PHOTO north to Main. From here the marchers will turn right to Green street, then north across Elm street to Broad, east to Riverside drive, south one block to Pearl and then back to East campus on Green street. With only a few hours bet­ ween parade and game time, there will be considerable bustling about before the sophomore team takes to McCracken field at 6:30 Friday night. The varsity game is scheduled for 8 p.m., when the Warriors hope to complete the homecoming theme, "Hap­ piness is. . . .defeating the Crystal Lake Tigers". Activities will come to a close Saturday, the twenty-third, with the dance from 8 to 11 p.m. in the West campus gym­ nasium. A well known band will provide music for students.

Hutchinson, 27, of 109 Main street. Crystal Lake, in county jail on charges of kidnapping and possession of cannabis. His arrest followed an intensive investigation by the detective division, led by Capt. Robert Madsen and Detective Sgt. George Hendle. The Plaindealer learned at press time Thursday that a suspect had been arrested in the kidnapping of an 11-year- old Crystal Lake girl the previous Sunday evening. However, the name was not divulged at that time. The child was forced into a car at 6:05 p.m. while riding her bike home from a neigh­ bor's residence on Valley View road, Crystal Lake. When released without harm several hours later, the abductor warned her not to report the incident. Her detailed description of the assailant and the vehicle used led to his arrest five days later. While questioning Hut­ chinson, a quantity of cannabis was found in his possession. He is being held in county jail in lieu of $21,000 bail. The hearing date is Oct. 21. Two Sustain Injuries In Auto Accident Two area men were slightly injured in a one-car accident Saturday morning about 2 o'clock at the intersection of Lincoln and Chapel Hill roads, east of McHenry.

The car then traveled another 117 feet and hit another pole head-on Martin A. Grocholski of 73 E. Wildwood drive, Barrington, was ticketed by sheriff 's police for driving in the wrong lane following a two-car accident at the intersection of Tecumseh lane and Black Partridge road, south of McHenry The mishap occurred Saturday afternoon about 1 o'clock. Grocholski told deputies he was east-bound on Tecumseh when a car driven by Carl A Reiche of 1115 S. Pontiac avenue, McHenry, suddenly appeared in front of him. Because of the curve in the road, Grocholski failed to see the Reiche auto until it was too late to avoid the collision Reiche said he was west­ bound when the other auto came around the curve on the wrong side of the road He applied his brakes but could not avoid the accident None In McHenry Area Arrests In Three McHenry County Sheriff 's deputies raided Christopher's Restaurant and Lounge, 109 N.

Starting Nov. 1. visiting hours will be 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. and will be limited to the husband only. "Reason for this change is to implement the rooming-in concept. This ap­ proach to maternity care permits the mother the option of having the baby in the same room with her during the day between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m.," Corcoran explained. "In semi-private rooms, rooming-in is permitted only if both mothers agree to it." The rooming-in concept is a family-centered approach to maternity care. It makes it possible for both parents to get to know their baby during the hospital stay and to share in the joy of the new-born child.

This was the way Congressman John B. An­ derson summed up his remarks in addressing the dedication crowd present at Parkland school last Sunday afternoon. Congressman Anderson, third ranking Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives, was featured speaker at the impressive event marking the official opening to the public of the new and modern school building. In an earnest approach to what Congressman Anderson said he "detects all around us", the political leader observed that technology has become an end in itself, too often setting aside the human element and the necessity for concern for individual fulfillment. It was toward this goal that he commended the community for the type of school that allows for each student to be considered as a person The Congressman also pointed to other problems of society today, commenting that it is the responsibility of everyone to work together in solving them Prior to the public program, board members in District 15 had an opportunity to meet Congressman,Anderson in the central administration office and question him on matters of general interest at the federal and state level. Throughout the afternoon, junior high students took visitors on conducted tours of the attractive building designed to provide a learning environment that will im­ plement a particular philosophy of teaching, based on in­ dividual pupil growth and development. Lovely table decorations were provided by members of the Senior Citzens club. * PLAINDEALER PHOTOS Congressman John B.
