\ On The Sidelines by Oich RabMn The 12th Annual McHenry Relays are on tap Friday at McCracken field. It really doesn't seem that long ago, when Don Sea ton, then track coach had the idea of McHenry hosting relays. The first meet had the host Warriors, Cary Grove and Belvidere. From that point on the field grew, and now 12 teams are competing. With the exception of the 100 yard dash and the pole vault, all events will be composed of teams of four. This is where depth shows in an event like the McHenry Relays. To get four boys in the shot put, discus, long jump, high jump, triple jump, plus the hurdle relays, and the running relays, coaches sometimes have to go to their underclassmen. From a personal standpoint, I think the highlight of a meet such as this is the four mile relay. The pole vault and high jump will begin at 4 p.m. and around 6:30 things will begin to pop. So if you are free Friday, and want some good inexpensive entertainment, make your way out to McCracken field, you won't be sorry. Last week's rain played havoc with the baseball schedule. The previous week the Warriors were able to get in six games, but because of the weather, last week they managed only two. Next week the Warriors will hold the district tourney. On Thursday at 4 p.m. Woodstock will play Hebron. On Saturday, May 7 at 10 a.m. Richmond against Marian Central. The Warriors will play the winner of game 1 at 12:30 on Saturday. The finals are on Monday at 4 p.m. Deerfield high school has been named the mythical national champion in Cross Coutnry. Coach Len Kisellus, an old school chum of mine, is the coach of the Deerfield Warriors, and has developed a fine friendship with Bill Hutchinson, coach of our McHenry Warriors. The two Warrior teams have battled throughout the years in various cross country meets, the Deerfield sophomore basketball team has been participating in the Warrior sophomore tourney every December. It has been a nice relationship between the two schools, and let's hope that the relationship will continue. A bit of sour grapes is developing to the south of McHenry. It seems that there is word out that a lawsuit will be taken against Crystal Lake high school in regards to the recent bond issue. Seems that some people who were opposed to the issue, are now filing charges of illegal voting, and other irregular practices on the part of the school district. Likewise counter charges have been filed by the district. Anyway, from reports I hear things are going to get messy, before the issue is settled. Hope that both parties can get together, before there is anymore mud slinging, and get their differences settled. The only people that will be hurt are the students at Crystal Lake and Cary Grove high schools. A tip of the fedora to a golfing buddy, Billy Warn. Had a hole in one at Chapel Hill several weeks ago. Why doesn't he do something like that when he is my partner? A word from John Bolton the Pro at Chapel Hill. Seems like Sunday will be a big day at the course north of town. Over a 100 golfers have signed up for the Men's Best Ball Foursome on that day. A buffet breakfast will be served at 8 a.m. with a shotgun tee off at 9. Teams will be divided according to classes, A.B.C. and D. Handicaps will be used for the day. "Jovial" John wishes for some good weather, and is looking for a fine fun day for the golfers. According to John, other events are planned for members throughout the summer months.

Crystal LakeRd., McHenry 385-0420 "Trial Of A Judge" Now Playing Miiiiiryiiii li e liiPiihitii fj it * I V I HI Hold Free Motorcycle Instruction At MCC A witness testifies at "The Trial of a Judge", now being presented in the original courtroom of the landmark Old Courthouse in Woodstock. The jury for each performance is selected at random from persons seated in the audience. Juries at "The Trial of a Judge," now playing in the original courtroom of the historic Old Courthouse in Woodstock, have given mixed verdicts during the first eight performances of this unique new theatre drama. "It's been very interesting to see how different juries analyze each trial," says Dick Sasso, the director who conceived this courtroom drama dealing with the question, "Should a judge be held accountable for his judgments?" "During the first eight performances we've had five verdicts of guilty and three of not guilty," said Sasso. "How they vote is probably a com­ bination of several factors, such as the number of men versus women, average age of the jury members, and many other things." A jury is chosen at random from the spectators in the audience. They render the verdict sitting in the same jury box that served McHenry county trials for more than 100 years. "Actually selecting the jury from the audience is one of several elements we included to make this trial totally authentic," Sasso said. "Live television coverage at each performance, handled as if it were normal network coverage, has also added a lot of realism." "Audience reaction to 'Trial of a Judge' so far has been tremendous," he said. "It's reinforcing the concept at the Woodstock Performing com­ pany that there is a market today for providing the magic and illusion of theatre as it was really originally meant to be." "The Trial of a Judge" continues through May 15, with performances Wednesday through Sunday. Further in­ formation is available at the ticket office in the courtroom of the Old Courthouse, or by calling 338-7484. Anyone can ride a motor­ cycle! Right? No, wrong. But that widely held misconception, one of several that is adding to the mounting toll of motorcyclist deaths and injuries, is one reason why Northern Illinois university and the Illinois Department of Transportation are co-sponsoring free motorcycle rider courses in northern Illinois during the next few months. The courses are open to anyone sixteen and older and they are designed to teach new cyclists the skills necessary to ride in traffic. Eleven hours of onrcycle experiences conducted on an off-street area will be included in the twenty-two hour course. Courses will be offered at McHenry County college - Room A5116, 6:30 to 9:40 p.m. June 1, 2, 3 and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 4 and 5 and Marengo high school Room 115, 6 to 9:10 p.m. June 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 25.
