Jig Summer Weekend -.vokes Many Memories Hanner, retired Episcopal icar). McHenry's big summer /eekend was plenty big You 11 must have been at the sale v'e got new curtains for our itchen. Jt was lucky we did .ecause the old ones fell apart then we washed them for dust ags. Sun rot, my wife says We had to miss the parade lecause I ^as taking services n Belvidere and you can't do oo many things at once Winston Churchill once said /ou could and proved it by scratching his chin with one land and patting his tummy Ajth the other) When evening came and we A<ere cooled off a bit we went to \lcCracken field for the Drum (l)rps Magic Show This does not sound like "Night Life" in a big city but there were good bands, good rifle twirlers and ftpg wavers The trouble is it is one of those things that lots of folks don't get to and so never realize they missed anything. •We got .in the stands early and found Mayor Stanek up in t&e bleachers with Mrs Stanek bfchind us. A gentleman who is a-fan follower of the Cavaliers from Park Ridge was next to the mayor.It made an interesting group for the Oavalier fan knew more about drum corps than Mrs. Hanner ahd me so we learned a bit. The national champs from Audubon, New Jersey, were scheduled but did not come-it i$ expensive to move 100 piece band across four or five states, there was plenty of good m a r c h i n g , t w i r l i n g , spectacular gun work and flag acts to satisfy any avid follower from the other (seven 1 think) tends entered • The all-girl Capitolaires from Madison, Wis., brought the largest rooting section. Their pluggers had signs as the Cub fans have at Wrigley field and specialized in organized rooting. These girls are international champs and they were good, but not at their very best. FORMAL WEAR RENTAL for ALL OCCASIONS feeli S Stow® ittw6yi DIM 1214 N. Green St., McHenry The Cavaliers from Park Hidge and thereabouts are spoasored by one of their community banks. They have a senior band and a junior band to feed into the seniors, like a baseball farm system The Phantonf Regiment from Rockford won first place--they were state champions last year. Some of their formations drew cheers fropi the crowd. I was interested in the Knights from Geneseo, 111. This town is about 30 miles east of Rock Island and has a population of 6,000 I became familiar with it when I was rector of Rock Island ifi the '40's. They reminded me of the Crusades for their overgarment was a knight's tunic with the Crusader's Cross thereon Their pure white banners were emblazoned with a Crusader's Cross in gold When I spoke of the banners and uniforms two Geneseo ladies who were in front of us turned and said all the uniforms and banners were handmade by the families of the band. At the end of the program all bands were massed on the field It was a moving and colorful evening. Whole communities had pulled and worked together to produce something useful and heartening. It makes you feel good about America The young people in these bands had practiced for hours together on a joint enterprise. Some people in our land, young people, are learning to discipline thetnselves for their own growth and the enjoyment of others. It speaks well for the Mid-West. One thing could be improved. It was utterly impossible to hear the public address system. It was fuzzy and gravelly and few of those who used the system had learned to speak clearly, smoothly, evenly ant'to sound the consonants at the end of words. You cannot just pick up the mike and be a star speaker. You cannot just put in an address system and not keep it up. Thanks to all who worked on this big good evening for McHenry.

Viscounts The Viscounts left McHenry one recent Friday evening to attend the Department of Illinois VFW convention parade to start off their first long weekend of the season Saturday morning they were in Elk Grove Village to appear in the preliminary competition. Due to the rain, a standstill competition was held instead of the normal field competition. We found our horn and drum scores improved, but not enough to make the final competition. The corps stayed' to watch the show, which was won by the Phantom Regiment, which now holds.the VFW state title The corps that made finals were the Phantom R e g i m e n t , C a v a l i e r s , Guardsmen, Crusaders, Blackhawks, Scarlet Knights, Knights of Geneseo and Fox Valley Raiders After the final show, we traveled to Kankakee to compete Sunday Once again our scores improved, but not enough. The placings in Kankakee were the Crusaders, Southern Rebels, Falcons, Neisi Ambassadors, Maple City Cadets and Viscounts. In the final recap sheet, it showed the Viscounts took third place in the marching and maneuvering caption Our instructors attended the Critique after the show and were complimented by the judges on how the corps is improving. A tired, but determined corps returned early Monday morning to start preparing for a busy July weekend. Ouir* current fund raising project is a paper drive. On Saturday, July 27, we will pick up at any address - just give us a call at 385-0988. Also, start saving your bonus coupons off most grocery items. This will help buy new shakos and plums (hats and feathers) for our Viscounts - a badly needed new item. Send your coupons to Mrs. Anderson, 6 N. Heather, Crystal Lake, 111., 60014. The Parent Boosters meeting is coming up. Don't forget that it is the first Monday in August, which is the fifth, at the American Legion home on Ringwood road at 8 p.m. Your child needs the Viscounts - we need your help- attend the meetings. The Viscount of the Week is Renee Betancourt, who started with us five years ago in the Color Guard line when'she was in the seventh grade. This year she has been our assistant Color Guard sergeant. The kids in the corps don't really have a nickname for her but her folks call her "fatso". 4400 W. Rte. 120 McHenry Market Place Shopping Center spurgeons while they last!

One purpose of the county fair is for the exhibitors to find out how their efforts and training ranks in comparison with others. This year's broadened fair, is further opportunity for comparison PAGE !."» PLAINDEALER -FRIDAY, JULY 18.1974 About the nicest thing any Nations wouldn't have to father can do for his children is resort t0 arms so frequently, if to love their mother. they used their heads first.
