PAGE 5-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23. 1973 Holiday Hills Bonnie Kellen & Marge Connell 385-6344 Karen Kottke Will Assume Scribe Duties Starting with next week's column, a new gal will be taking over the writing of our Holiday Hills column. She is Karen Kottke, her phone number is 385-6675, and her address is 1512 W. Poplar street. She is most anxious to continue the tradition of en­ joyable and interesting columns started by Inez Young, and hopefully continued by us, but her columns, like ours, can only be as good as the news provided her. We have asked so often for neighbors to call us when they have a news item - like an­ niversary parties, birthday celebrations, vacations, children's activities, births, etc. - as it is impossible for a columnist to know what is going on in everyone's household. So we are asking for Karen, that you please call her to let her know what's happening at your house. Also, if you are a leader, officer, or member of any group that regularly has news in our column, give her a call, and let her know what will be coming up in the near future. We have enjoyed being your columnists these past few years, and we would like to thank everyone who regularly called us and kept us informed of the events and happenings in Holiday Hills, so that we could make our column long and as interesting as possible. Bonnie and Marge. GIRLSCOUT COOKIE SALE Today's the day our little gals in "green" start taking orders for the annual Girl Scout cookie sale which is conducted each year by the SybaCjuay Council to help support its camping program and troop activities. The girls will be taking orders from today, Feb. 23 through Saturday, March 3, and cookies will be delivered from Wed­ nesday, April 4, through Saturday, April 14. Dee Wegener of Sunset Drive is cookie chairman for our Troop 478 and will be more than happy to answer any questions any one may have pertaining to the cookie sale. The girls will be selling five kinds of cookies this year, assorted sandwich; mint; buttered flavored shorties; peanut butter sandwich; and chocolate chip and nut and you all know from previous years whatever type you choose you'll be totally satisfied as they are all delicious. TTie cost of a box is very minimal and the troop retains 10 cents per every box sold so this is also a good money making project for our own troop here in Holiday Hills. Let's all help out our little Girl Scouts by greeting them with a smile when they come knocking at your door and placing a nice big order for some very delicious cookies with them. GET ACQUAINTED A big decision for a senior in high school is "what happens after graduation" and to help the student to decide, many colleges and universities sponsor a "Get Acquainted" day which enables them to meet the faculty, see the dorms and become familiar with the campus. Such a day was held at Augustana College which is located on the Mississippi River in Rock Island on Monday, Feb. 12 and Connie, Joe and Linda Catanzaro of Hyde Park made the 400 mile round trip there which really was very worthwhile. Linda will graduate from Marian Central Catholic high school in Woodstock this coming June and it gave her the opportunity to "get acquain­ ted" with the school where she would like to spend the next four years majoring in jour­ nalism.
