Frank Giel says the Tuesday bowling teams are all filled; however, there is still room on Friday afternoons. Julie Fenwick Candidate For Ripon Queen Julie Fenwick, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.'Thomas Fenwick of 3719 W. Waukegan road, McHenry, was a candidate for homecoming queen at the 1972 Ripon college homecoming festivities held last Saturday afternoon, Oct. 14, in Ripon, Wis. Julie, a senior, was one of fourteen women nominated for the honor. "Ripon-Believe It Or Not", a takeoff on "Ripley's Believe It or Not," was the theme of this year's homecoming. Festivities were highlighted by a bonfire, powder puff football game between upperclass women and freshmen women, along with a street parade. This was the third year Julie had the honor of being nominated for homecoming court at the college. HALLOWEEN PARTY The Juvenile Girl Foresters of St. Agatha Court No. 777, Johnsburg, will have a Halloween party Monday, Oct. 23, from 6:30 to 8:30 at the Johnsburg Community club. All school age members are invited to attend. Each girl must wear a costume and bring a small meeting dues. The McHenry County Historical society has received a donation of many items from Sanford and Raymond Walkup : of Crystal Lake from the estate of their parents, John and Ada Walkup, who were staunch friends of the society. There were farm items such as harness, two sets of eveners, hay knife, fence stretcher, calf yoke and horse fly blanket, all from the early 1900's. Harking back to the days of sleighing or having to ride in a cold open wagon are two buffalo robes, pair of buffalo skin mittens and fur hat. To help ward off cold was a metal foot warmer without instructions as to how it was heated. It has a metal wire handle which makes it more of a mystery how it was heated and carried to the sleigh or wagon, put under the buffalo robes and later carried into the church pew to keep one's feet off the cold floor. Remember when evening garden or lawn parties were given and decorative Japanese lanterns furnished the light- first with candles, later with electric bulbs? There are now enough for a party and they date back to 1935. Men's clothing was never saved like women's but there is a "stove pipe" hat, a derby and several straw hats and these go 'way back. All these items will add to the growing collection. With all the rain in the Union- Marengo area the Society feels lucky it was not affected until the last heavy deluge. The basement finally had water in the boiler pit to the depth of 14 inches. It was discovered when the alarm system went off indicating the sump pump had been put out of action. Luckily, the heating contractor got on the job early and a hose con­ nected to pump the water out. This was not an expense in­ cluded in the budget and so it is imperative that contributions for the restoration of the school keep coming in. It will take much money to get the building in condition to meet the state regulation si. as to fire and safety before it can be opened to the public. Please send con­ tributions to the Historical Society, Box 30, Woodstock.
