Cathy Connell First Class Cadette Scout Last Tuesday, March 28, Cathy Connell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Connell, was awarded the First Class Girl Scout Award, at a Court of Awards given by Cadette Girl Scout Troop 41 of McHenry. The First Class Scout Award is the highest award a cadette scout can receive, and one that very few scouts ever ac­ complish. Following the flag ceremony and the recitation of the Girl Scout Laws and Promise, the Court of Awards was begun by candlelight. To earn the First Class Girl Scout Award, Cathy had to earn six cadette scout badges. These are the areas of study and the badges which Cathy completed: l. Art -- Dressmaking badge; 2. - Citizens hip-Clerk badge; 3. Health and Safety - Child Care Badge; 4. Home-Family Living badge; 5. International Friendship - Language badge; and 6. Out-cf-Doors - Family Camping badge and the Life Saver badge. Even more time consuming and difficult, Cathy had to prepare for and meet the four challenges, each of which takes about six months to complete. These are the challenges of Social Depen­ dability, Emergency Preparedness, Active Citizenship and the Girl Scout Promise. Cathy completed these on March 8, 1972. During the ceremony, another Holiday Hills scout, Nancy Foreman, earned and was presented with the Language Badge. Following the awards ceremony, an interesting and very informative program was presented by Tom Miller from the Advertising Department of the McHenry Plaindealer. His slide presentation showed how news is gathered, printed, and sent out to the readers in the form of our local newspaper, the Plaindealer. After this, the scouts also did their share, and presented, two skits, on the humorous side,and then served refreshments. We are all proud of you, Cathy, to have earned such a high award in scouting. We are also proud of the other Holiday Hills gals who have carried on with their scouting into cade ties. (See picture) The leaders of Troop 41 are Mrs. Katty Schaefer and Mrs. Betty Smith of McHenry. SCHROEDERS MOVE AGAIN It is always nice to hear good things about our former Holiday Hills residents, especially when the couple happen to be Joan and Harry Schroeder who lived on Sunset Drive down near the river for many years. As everyone will remember when they lived here, they were both very active in all our subdivision activities. Harry works for a large oil company and last June received a promotion and was transferred down to Temple Terrace, Fla., a suburb near Tampa. They love the area and everything about Florida, but are once again finding it necessary to pick up and move as Harry has mice again been promoted and is being tran­ sferred to Los Angeles, Calif. He hopes to have Joan and the children completely settled in their new home by the early part of June. Down visiting Joan and Harry for a month recently was another former Holiday Hills resident, Dottie Gabriel. The Gabriel family also moved from Holiday Hills last year when Don was transferred on his job to Cedar Rapids, Iowa. As these two gals basked in the beautiful Florida sunshine, I'm sure their many con­ versations included thoughts of the happy years they spent here and the many friends they made. Good luck to the Schroeder family as they an­ ticipate moving to our far western state, and good luck to you, Harry, as you advance another step up the ladder of success in your job. PALM SUNDAY CONFIRMATION Bill, Helen, Mark, Diane, Gina, Ken and Johnny Boett- cher spent Sunday .March 26, in Chicago attending the con­ firmation of Bill's nephew, Tommy Banks. Tom, fourteen years old. was confirmed at the Immanuel Congregational church and a party was held in his honor following the lovely ceremony. BASEBALL NEWS Congratulations to Gary Connell and Guy Karafa on their making the Warrior varsity baseball team at the McHenry high school west campus. Congratulations also to Johnny Connell, Jr., who made the Scots baseball team, the varsity team at McHenry County Junior College. Let's hope the weather cooperates now as the boys are all anxious to "play ball" and hope to start their games as scheduled this week. BOWLING NEWS For the past two weeks and continuing for two more weeks, several of our gal bowsers here in Holiday Hills have been participating in the "Wing- Ding" tournament at the bowling alley in Island Lake. Three of these gals so far have come through with flying colors and hope to be in the prize money. Tillie Williams rolled a 658series, Marge Connell rolled a 651 series and Pat Hughes rolled a 633 series. That's pretty good bowling no matter how you look at it and all three can certainly be proud of their scores. CONDOLENCES For the second week in a row, we are sorry to report that there was another death in the Kasprzyk family. Just last week, Connie's dad, Julius Kasprzyk, passed away and was buried on March 28. On Wednesday, March 29, his uncle, Albert Lesniak, passed away and was laid to rest on Saturday, April l. We would like to send sincere sympathy to the whole Kasprzyk family. PALM SUNDAY VISITORS When old friends can get together and spend three days just visiting and catching up on all the news, everyone enjoys it and this is exactly what hap­ pened at the Galbreath home on Holiday Drive last week. Tom and Carolyn Bowman and their three children, Tommy, Denise and Brad, drove here from Greenville, Ohio, to visit with Wilma, Jack, Jeannie, Ruthie and little Jim. Both Tom and Carolyn are school teachers and were on spring vacation. While here the children also had the op­ portunity of attending our Easter egg hunt and toe* home with them some very happy memories of their visit in Holiday Hills. ONE LITTLE - BIRTHDAY CANDLE One little candle glowed on a cake in the Wegener home last Tuesday, March 28, as it was little Eddie's first birthday and L)ee had a couple of lillie friends in to help him share it. Although they were cake from head to toe, they all enjoyed themselves and had a real nice time. JAMAICA BOUND One little gal from our sub­ division, Gail Young, daughter cf Clarence and Inez Young, is really having a ball. Always having had a yen for travel, she has visited many interesting places and just last week left with a group of friends for HAVE ^ ri A FRESH j DATED SEEDS MARTIN HOUSES LOVELY GRAVE MEMORIALS ' BUY I GET 1 FREE j / 9 5 AND UP £98 AND UP j Lawn & Garden Equipment For Rent j R0T0TILLERS, THACHERS, SWEEPERS ) 10' B/B \ SYCAMORE TREES 1 Q95 • THIS MONTH! 3 SILVER MAPLE B/B THIS Q95 MONTH! ^ FORSYTHIA B/B THIS ^ 19 MONTH! ^ BROOKWOOD GARDEN CENTER 4405 W.

EASTER SUNDAY HAPPENINGS Although many Holiday Hills families spent Easter Sunday at Grand ma's house, many also entertained friends and relatives here at home, and wherever you spent your Easter, we sincerely hope it was a very pleasant day for you and that there weren't too many little aching tummies from too many chocolate Easter eggs left by the bunny. The Young family spent the day at home and Inez prepared a delicious dinner for Clarence, Wendy, and April and Tom Dougherty who came home from DeKalb for the occasion. Vi, Bill, Judy, Terri and Connie Abbink were very busy entertaining their family as Vi's brother, Les, and Carol Berens and their two boys Jeff and Gregory drove here from Elkhart, Ind., to spend the day with them. Also present was Vi's Mother, Mrs. .Jean Berens from Skokie, who is spending the whole week out here. To com­ plete the family reunion, a telephone call was placed to London, England, and daughter, Linda, and her husband. John Mazur, were flabbergasted when they an­ swered the phone and heard Mom and Dad's voice on the other end. The newlyweds are both fine and although Linda loves England and is really enjoying her stay there, it's many miles from Holiday Hills and she says there's still no place like home. The Connell house was overflowing as Marge prepared dinner for her folks from Chicago, Mr. and Mrs. W. Sch- weik, her brother's family from Arlington Heights, Larry, Nancy, Andy and Matthew,and also her brother's family from Wausau, Wis., Harold. Anita, Philip, Cindy and Linda Lori, who left four teen inches of snow on the ground and drove through quite a blizzard last Friday to be able to spend Easter at home and complete •• their family reunion. The Richard Hellmig family spent Easter Sunday with neighbors, the Roger Saunders. Libby and Dick, and their children, Kathy, Gordon and David, all enjoyed turkey dinner fixed on the barbecue with Roger and Bev and their children, Jill and Laurie. No doubt there are many other families out here who traveled away from home for Johnsburg Plans Kindergarten Registration Kindergarten registration for the 1972-73 school year will be held in the Johnsburg elementary school multipur­ pose room Wednesday, April 12,and Thursday, April 13, 8:30 to 11 a.m. and l to 3 p.m. the holiday or had out-of-town guests visiting them, so a quick call to either of your Holiday Hills reporters will enable them to let your friends know how you spent your Easter Sunday WOMEN'S CLUB MEETING Next Wednesday, April 12, will be the monthly meeting of the Holiday Hills Women's Club at the home of Mary Ann Mahon cf Birch street, at 8:30 p.m. Final announcements and arrangements of our May dinner will be presented, along with other items of business.
