HELD OVER BY POPULAR DEMAND! - LAST WEEKEND! STAFF PHOTOS BY WAYNE GAYLORD Sue Hacek It had all the breathless excitement of a premiere showing along with backstage jitters, confusion and last minute changes But as each model made her appearance, coached under the able directions of Ms. Carolyn Gratz, Ms. Amanda Demick and Ms. Judy Cammelot, her bearing was poised and professional. For all, weeks of dedicated classroom work - in the McHenry high schools Clothing classes were on display for the approval of an audience con­ sisting of classmates and parents. The girls chose their own patterns and materials and the finished products were as varied as the personalities, ranging from comfortable denim to lush suede to cotton krinkle cloth. Pantsuits and jumpsuits seemed to be favorites and fashions included the casual and tailored looks. Models representing both East and West campuses in the order of their appearance were Donna Beshk, Debbie Freund, Candy Gibbs.

The M u s c u l a r D y s t r o p h y association is seeking men and women age sixteen to thirty to serve as volunteer attendants for the 1977 Bob Kennedy Muscular Dystrophy summer camp in Lake Villa, 111. No experience is necessary to apply for one of the two one- week sessions scheduled for Camp Hastings, June 19-25 and Camp Ravenswood, June 26- July 2. Camp volunteers are needed to help a muscular dystrophy patient enjoy a week of sum­ mer fun. For many victims of muscular dystrophy, both young and old, summer camp represents one of the few op­ portunities during a ^ear for outdoor recreation. Camp volunteers play a vital role in the camp operation because they are assigned as attendants on a one-to-one basis with the patient (campers), most of whom are confined to wheelchairs. Volunteers enable the campers to participate in a vast range of activities beyond their ordinary capabilities, including swimming, hockey, horseback riding, baseball, boating, bowling, fishing, ar­ chery, arts and crafts and other special programs. The Bob Kennedy Summer camp is dedicated to providing as normal a camping ex­ perience as possible for victims of crippling neuromuscular diseases. Completely free of charge to all participants, the campers are provided medical care by a full time resident professional medical staff. Due to the unique nature of the camp, many colleges have recognized experience at the camp as viable paramedical education credential. . Volunteers literally will become new arms and legs of the campers and without the volunteers, it may be necessary to turn away patients to whom the camp is so meaningful. The Chicago area camping program, now in its seven­ teenth year, is sponsored by the M u s c u l a r D y s t r o p h y association and is supported by proceeds from the Jerry Lewis Labor Day telethon and from other special events run by Chicago area high schools and colleges during the past academic year. The camp is named for the late television personality Bob Kennedy, who was actively involved with M.D.A. throughout his career. Approximately 150 campers will attend the summer camp this year. Activities for the campers, who range in age from seven to sixty-seven, are supervised by camp Director, Maureen Scully. Volunteers are urged to phone the M.D.A. Summer camp office at 663-1686. Volunteers make it possible for victims of muscular dystrophy to have a summer The camp program needs help, right now. Beverly Ebert, president, McHenry county board of realtors, announced that a report recently released by the Bureau of the Census contains interesting data about the characteristics of new single- family housing in the United States. For the most part, the report compares data collected in 1975 with similar statistics gathered in 1971. Somewhat surprisingly, only 58 per cent of the 866,000 new single-family homes built in 1975 were built for sale. Twenty-two per cent were built by owners for themselves and 20 per cent were custom-built by contractors for specific buyers. The data on housing characteristics is based on the 58 per cent built for sale. A comparison of data collected in both years reveals that new homes built for sale in 1975 were, on the average, a little larger and considerably more expensive. The average new home built for sale in 1971 contained 1.535 square feet of living space. The average size increased slightly to 1,660 square feet in 1975, making the average 1975 new- home 8.1 per cent larger than its earlier counterpart The rise in new home prices during the period was dramatic, if not shocking. The average, new single-family home sold for $28,300 in 1971. In just four years, the price leaped 50.5 per cent to $42,600. Excluding land, the sale price per square foot jumped 44 per cent during the same period, from $14.65 to $21.10. By the square foot, the highest construction costs in 1975 were found in the north central part of the nation. There, it cost $22.90 per square foot to build a new single- family home The lowest was $19.25 in the south. In between, the cost per square foot was $22.70 in the northeast and $22.10 in the west. These figures exclude the cost of the land. According to the Bureau of the Census, 64 per cent of the new homes completed in 1975 were financed by conventional SUBSCRIBE To The McHenry Plaindealer And Save 510.30 Over Newstand Price i i i i i i I i i | ADDRESS I I FILL OUT AND MAIL OR BRING TO: McHENRY PLAINDEALER 3812 W.
