HOLIDAY TRAVELEKS Jerry, Gloria, Jeff and Gigi Smith spent the holidays quite a bit different this year. There were no mittens, boots or heavy winter jackets, but instead bathing suits were more in order. They left Holiday Hills a week before Christmas and drove south. On their way, they stopped at Rock City in Chattanooga, Tenn., and took in the scenic view from Lookout Mountain. Continuing south­ ward, they visited Atlanta, Ga., for a day of sightseeing and proceeded on to Florida. They viewed the beautiful Busch Gardens in Tampa, saw the exciting Marineland of the Atlantic, spent a day at gorgeous Cypress Gardens, viewed the sights at Silver Springs, and had a very ex­ citing and educational tour at Cape Kennedy where they saw many rockets including Apollo 16, which was on the launch pad the day they were there. Three nights and four days including Christmas were spent at Disney World, where they stayed at a hotel. On Christmas Day, carollers from Disney World filled the lobby of the hotel with beautiful singing, and free bowls of punch and egg nog were set up for the holiday visitors. Every night at the hotel, a Walt Disney film was shown for the children. Also while there, between sightseeing, they all managed to find time to go sailing, bike riding, canoeing and swim­ ming. They were gone two weeks in all, and it will cer­ tainly be a Christmas none of them will forget for a long time to come. HOCKEY NEWS During the past week, a meeting was held at the home of Charles Smith and a new Holiday Hills Hockey League has been formed. Officers were elected as follows: President - Mike Smith; Secretary - Steve Schmidt; Captain - Bill Smith; Assistant Captains - Greg Smith and Joey Foreman. Practice will be held on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights from 7 until 9 p.m., and games will be scheduled for Saturdays and Sundays at the new hockey rink on the channel. Any team from other subdivisions wanting to schedule a game with the Holiday Hills team please contact Steve Schmidt at 385- 5788. There will be two Holiday Hills teams - the Junior league, for boys eight to fifteen, and the Senior league, for boys fifteen years old and older. All boys interested in joining either team can contact Charles Smith, 385-7449 or Steve Sch­ midt, 385-5788 for information. An adult will supervise all official practices and games, and any boy under twenty-one years of age will be given a permission slip to be signed by their parents giving their consent to play. On Tuesdays and Thursday evenings from 7 to 10 p.m., the lights will be on at the rink and it will be open skating for any resident of Holiday Hills, the only stipulation being however, that there be no hockey equipment used at this time as a safety precaution. Good luck to our kids in this new venture, and perhaps we will come up with a couple of future "Blackhawk" skating stars.

RTE. 120 12 BOTTLE LIMIT Limit 1 Coupon Per Customer CLIP t (THIS COUPON' ^CAUTION PLEASE!!! With the tragic accident that has happened in the McHenry area recently that took the life of a young mother and two children, it occurred to us, too, that we live by a lake that has natural springs and near the river that has a very swift current and regardless of how cold the weather may be, there is always the possibility of thin ice due to these circumstances. Please caution your children to be extremely careful. The ice could be six inches thick in one place and only one inch thick a short distance away. Never go skating alone; if the ice should break, no matter how good a swimmer one may be, when dressed in heavy winter clothing, the weight will pull you down and getting out is almost an impossibility. So, please kids, be extra careful. Y.M.C.A. INDIAN GUIDES This past weekend proved a very exciting one for several fathers and sons in Holiday Hills. Jerry Smith and Jeff, John Drew and Mark, Klaus Buchholz and Nickie and Rick Postal with Scotty and Tim attended a winter campout at the George Williams College in Lake Geneva, Wis. They belong to the Iroquois Tribe of the River Nation of the Lake- Region Y.M.C.A. Indian Guides. There are nineteen members in the Iroquois Tribe which originated in Holiday Hills last year. It is strictly a Father-Son group who meet twice a month in the homes of the various members and their slogan is "Father and Sons - Pals Forever." The age of the boys is from first grade through the third grade. Jerry Smith is Chief of the Tribe, Klaus Buchholz is Chief of the River Nation and Rick Postal is Medicine Man. They all en­ joyed the skating and sledding this weekend, but are really proud of the two trophies which were presented to them, one for the best attendance and the other for best tribal displays. This is truly a wonderful group and really establishes a close relationship between father and son which is so important in these formative years. HURRY HOME, JIM If you see Phyllis and Jim Harper with smiles on their faces these days, they have good reason. Phyllis reports that Jimmy, Jr., has just arrived in San Diego from Vietnam and will be completely discharged in the next thirty to sixty days. Jimmy has been in service for three years.

DOUBLE CELEBRATION A double celebration was held at the home of Don and Katie Gregg on Sunday, Jan. 23. Keith and Diana Gregg received their First Holy Communion at the 9:45 Mass at St. Patrick's church in McHenry from/the Rev. John Cahill. Immediately following the ceremony, Katie served a delicious buffet brunch to approximately twenty-two friends and neighbors and it will certainly be a day these two youngsters will never forget. Congratulations, Keith and Diana...may you always be as happy as you were on your beautiful First Holy Com­ munion Day.

Goodwill Day Next Friday Friday, Feb. 11, will be Goodwill Day in McHenry, when the Goodwill Industries truck will collect repairable clothing and household discards for rehabilitation of handicapped people, according to the local representative. For pickup arrangements, bags, programs and in­ formation about Goodwill Industries, call Mrs. Nick Adams, McHenry. "Why does Goodwill In­ dustries ask that the things contributed, be repairable? A tour of the workshop, where more than 130 handicapped men and women repair donated articles, would answer this question", Mrs. Adams reported. The things given by the public sustain jobs and offer job training opportunities for the handicapped people at Good­ will Industries. All material should be usable, repairable and saleable, for without sales the disabled would lose their wages. All handicapped clients of Goodwill Industries receive paychecks. This plan means independence and teaches them self-reliance. PAGE 9-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1972 EDMUND SOBOTKIEWICZ THE ASSISTANT'S ROLE - His many years of experience in the Junior high school as physical education instructor and coach, and more recently as guidance counselor, qualifies Edmund Sobotkiewicz in his current role as assistant principal of McHenry Junior high school. An assistant principal must put forth nearly the same time and effort as a principal in the administration of a school. In this capacity, Mr. Sobotkiewicz works cooperatively with Mr. Toole in order to keep the Junior high operating ef­ ficiently. The school feels this tandem approach has worked very successfully, and recognizes Mr. Sobotkiewicz for his very fine performance. Jerusalem, 2,300 feet above the sea level, is only 23 miles from Jordan Valley, 1,300 feet below sea level -- bringing a wide variety of climatic variations with it.
