Riverview. Although comparatively new in our subdivision, as they have only lived here since last August, Bob and Betty Powell have shown they are interested in the various organizations and want to be active citizens. Bob was born and raised in the Philadelphia, Pa., area and was a Scoutmaster for two years for the Boy Scout Troop in Rutledge, Pa In 1962, they moved to Rockton, 111., and then in 1964, to Highwood, where he was a Republican committeeman and a second ward alderman in the city of Highwood He is a salesman and the midwest regional manager for a Rhode Island manufacturer of engineering supplies. Betty was born and raised in Pensacola, Fla., and they have one son, Lee, who is three years old. When asked why he ran for president, he stated "it ap­ peared after attending several meetings that what the Property Owners Association needed most was a "new face", someone with no preconceived ideas or opinions". He also stated he hopes to run the association in a business like manner. We of Holiday Hills all wish him well and want him to know we are 100 percent behind him as this is a big job to take on, but this is our subdivision ... where we live ... and one of which we are all proud.

Unbeknown to Roy, Kim' Gahagen of Wonder Lake in­ vited twenty of his friends from McHenry high school and had a surprise party on Feb. 5 to celebrate his nineteenth bir­ thday. Besides receiving $15 cash and a $15 gift certificate to a local store, each guest brought a "Funny Gift" to match his personality. Pizza and birthday cake were served and everyone agreed a great time was had by all, especially the guest of honor.

HOCKEY TRAVELERS Three of our local boys, Johnny Connell, Steve Salter and Dave Sundby who now lives in Morris, 111., with his wife, Arleen, and two year old daughter, Debbie, traveled to Michigan this past weekend to see the Chicago Blackhawks vs Detroit Red Wings professional hockey game which was played at the Olympia in Detroit. The boys stayed at a Motor Lodge in Dearbc&i, Mich., and really enjoyed their weekend bowling, swimming, and of course the big game on Saturday night. Although the Blackhawks couldn't claim a victory and played a three to three tie, the boys all agreed it was a great weekend and well worth the long drive. SISTER VISITS A very pleasant visit was enjoyed by the whole Wegener family when Ron's sister arrived here from Sacramento, Calif. Sister Mary Joanne, Order of the Holy Child, stayed with Ron's mother in McHenry. She is presently living at the convent on the campus of Sacramento University, where she is studying and furthering her education. Previous to this, Sister Joanne was principal for four years at Holy Family School in Portland, Oregon. She was here for a full month and it gave everyone a chance to really catch up on all the family news.

Polly Ducey Steps Into Neo l i th ic Age On Tr ip RED JACKET nm mm POLLY DUCEY Polly Ducey, 20, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Ducey of 7708 Oak road, Wonder Lake, was one of six students from the College of the Virgin Islands, to enjoy a memorable five-week trip to Dutch Guinea. The touring group was ac­ companied by two teachers from the Inter-American university, San Germain, Puerto Rico. Polly, a junior student, has been at the University of the Virgin Islands for the past two and a half years, where she is studying anthropology. She is a graduate of McHenry high school. The six students began their adventure in Surinam, South America, where they did their field work among members of the Wayana tribe. The group split up into two teams and went from village to village living among the Indians. Polly said there was a communication problem in that no one spoke Dutch or the Wayanas' tongue, though some of the Wayanas could speak French since French Guiana borders on Surinam. But with a little French, a good amount of sign language, ingenuity, patience and perseverance on both sides, they were able to communicate with the natives. The Wayanas do not wear Western dress. Typical native dress is a red loincloth for the man and a red cloth apron for the woman. Why red? The students weren't able to get that answer but they had a theory that since the natives were surrounded by the green of the jungle and the blue of the sky, to them red was an un­ natural color and they chose it for their dress. For special occasions, the natives wore heavily beaded loincloths and aprons, the glass beading of different colors and designs. Polly reported that although the Wayanas were living basically in the New Stone Age period, they had jumped into the industrial age in accepting some of the more modern implements available to man. For example, they use guns for hunting game although they still use bow and arrows for hunting birds and fishing. Some have motors on their dugout canoes. The women used metal pots for cooking instead of pottery. The Wayanas have no cities. There is no written language as their spoken language is suf­ ficient to their culture and they are not in a money economy. It is a society where there isn't high sense of private owner­ ship, hence no stealing. Guns and motors are highly prized. Wrist watches and transistors are status symbols. When the students returned home they stated they had become aware of the existence of people at this particular level of acculturation - late neolithic, a people with stone axes and 16-gauge shot guns, who might wear two wristwatches on their arms for status. 4-H News LINCOLN CLOVERLEAVES The Feb. 7 meeting of the Lincoln Cloverleaves was held at the Val-Mar Recreation house. The meeting was opened with the introduction of our guest, Miss Sue Ross, assistant Ex­ tension adviser, home economics, McHenry county. Miss Ross, later on in the program, showed us an in­ teresting film on her recent travels to Africa. The old business of holding a bake sale was brought up. It is planned that it will be held at the end of February. In new business, club members were told of reports on their projects. Share-the- Fun, the Federation meeting, state 4-H week, clothing judging and camp were also discussed. Miss Ross then showed her film and the meeting was ad­ journed.
