"However much work it took, she'd find a spot so that every student who wanted to sing got a chance. "It doubled her work load and worked her around the clock," Miss Taylor added. But Miss Froehlich wanted to give everyone a chance who wanted one, and her kindness toward her students is just one example of her efforts toward helping others. M M1 M wŝ /psam ̂ Community Leaders Women's Role... "In a way, the willingness to let every student participate created a conflict within Adele," Miss Taylor explained, "because she is also a per­ fectionist, and even though a student couldn't sing very well, Adele always worked with them and got them involved in the programs." Arlette Rietesel also talked of Miss Froehlich's kindness. "She is so modest that she doesn't like to talk about her accomplishments," Mrs. Rietesel said. "But she has taken care of her mother for years without a fuss or a complaint, and anyone who has taken care of someone else knows that it can be very trying at times." Earl Walsh, who has worked' with Miss Froehlich for numerous years recognizes that few people realize the good she has done for the com­ munity. "She's the kind that never wants people to know all the good she has done," Mr. Walsh said. "She has always been very shy about her ac­ complishments. Just a very few people are aware of all the good she has done." Some of Miss Froehlich's kindness and good will is shown at Christmas time, when she buys, and then wraps in­ dividual presents and sends them to the Valley-Hi Nursing home. But Miss Froehlich is not just kind at Christmas She believes in good will toward men every day, not just on special occasions. She often takes retarded children for car rides and buys them little presents. And she does much much more. The "A" can stand for ability. No one spends countless years in a profession without being extremely talented. For Miss Froehlich, her abilities are spread over a realm of areas--with her favorite probably being the fact that she is an accomplished tennis player. But here, concentration will center around Miss Froehlich's ability as a newspaper editor and as a chorale director. "As a writer, she has done some absolutely beautiful things," Miss Taylor said. Miss Taylor is quite an ac­ complished journalist herself, and a compliment from her is certainly something to be treasured. 'i have cut out and saved some of the outstanding things she has written," Miss Taylor ddded Earl Walsh, having worked with Miss Froehlich, talked , about her ability in all areas of the newspaper business. "I think she has been very efficient," he said. "At one time we used to have the old type, and Adele would go back and get her hands full of ink. First, she'd write the entire front page, and then she'd go and get into the printer's ink and set the full page." Miss Froehlich's ability with a choir and chorale group is well known. "When I think of Adele, I think of our church (St. Patrick's) and the church choir," Joan Bauer said. e"All the good things come to mind when I think of Adele," Dorothy Weber said. "She has directed the church choir, and of course the choral club." Mrs. Rietesel brought out another aspect of Miss Froehlich which is not com­ monly known. "Adele was a very good coronet player," Mrs. Rietesel said. "In the eighth grade, we went to a state orchestra contest and placed first, and then placed eighth in a national contest. She doesn't like to talk about her accomplishments, but I know she is very proud of that." « Then there is the "F." The "F" can stand for fellowship. "She attends Mass every day," Mrs. Bauer noted. Miss Froehlich draws her strength from God, and the many per­ sons who come in contact with her each day, in turn draw strength from her. For the staff at the newspaper, let it suffice to say that, "Adele, you know how we all feel about you, and there is no need for a detailed ex­ planation." The initials are K.A.F. They stand for Katherine Adele Froehlich--community leader. MR. AND MRS.

Mr. and Mrs. Nye's ten grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren will also join them in their celebration. PHOTOGRAPHY BY NIES ADELE FROEHLICH Stories Series by Jeff Bonato (LAST BUT NOT LEAST....- This is the final installment in the Community Leader- Women's Role series. Each of the women has been special and unique in her own way, and each of these is truly a com­ munity leader. A special thanks goes to Joan Bauer, Lillian Bolger, Isabel Brody, Lenore Frisby, Barbara Garasch, Ilavern Gregory, Fran Herrmann, Kathleen Mars, Arlette Rietesel, Sister Andrella (get well soon), Sister Paulina, Bertha Stange, Mae Stinespring, Maurie Taylor, Gretchen Thomas, Elizabeth Thompson, and Virginia Williams for their cooperation in making the series what it is. An apology is extended to the countless women who we know work their hearts out for our community, but, due to time limitations, we just didn't get to. Beware, we'll get you the next time around. In compiling any list of community leaders, opinions do vary. But no list could possibly be complete without including the woman who makes this paper come out twice a week--Adele Froehlich. (Adele, my apology to you for sneaking something into the paper, but I hope you'll forgive me just this once.) Most people in the com­ munity know her by the initials K.A.F. They stand for Katherine Adele Froehlich. But the person herself is much, much more than the three letters which appear at the end of "Musin' and Meanderin." The "K" can stand for kind­ ness. There is not an unkind bone in this community leader's body. But given that this writer works for, and very closely with, Miss Froehlich, an opinion could be considered biased. So here is what some other community leader's have to say about this lady. Perhaps the kindness can best be explained by Maurie Taylor, who taught French at McHenry high school while Miss Froehlich was teaching
