Woodstock 338-0711 Steinsdoerfer's No Hitter Leads Warriors To District Finals By Dick Rabbitt Lee Steinsdoerfer, senior righthander of the McHenry Warriors entered the school boy hall of fame Saturday as he hurled a no hitter to lead the Warriors to an 8 to 0 win over Woodstock. Lee was the complete master in the game as he struck out 13, walked 2 and hit a batter. Only one ball was hit out of the infield, and it was a lazy flyball to cen- terfield. The Warriors entered the scoring column in the first inning. Mark Rogers walked, stole second, and went to third on a wild pitch. He then scored on Jimmy Koester's hit to center. In the third Bill Bryniarski started off with a double to center. Rogers sacrificed him to third. Bill scored on Jeff Meyers hit to right. Steve Mai then singled to center, and when the ball got past the fielder, Meyers went to third. He then scored on Koester's second hit. After Adams grounded out, Steinsdoerfer helped his own cause with a single to score Mai. In the sixth the Warriors pushed across three more runs. Steinsdoerfer got his second hit of the day to lead off the inning. DiBlasi hit to center, Stein­ sdoerfer holding at second. Doug Oeffling's hit scored Steinsdoerfer, Bryniarski then walked. An error by the shortstop on Rogers grounder scored DiBlasi, and Meyer's fielder's choice scored Oef- fling with the final run of the inning. It was a happy group of Warriors after the game, especially Lee Steinsdoerfer. It was the first no hit game for the young Ihd, since Little League days, and as a fine gesture, Lee was presented the game ball for a keepsake for his fine ef­ fort. In the opener Richmond's five run lead after three innings proved too much for Marian Central to overcome, as the Hurricanes went down to a 5 to 3 defeat. The two winners played Monday for the right to ad­ vance to the Elgin Sectional on Saturday.

All are in the Ladies Division (and whoever said that women are always late). These women fought long hard matches to earn their new titles of "champs". All the entries in this tournament should be given some sort of award for their excellent play and strategy. But seeing that this is impossible, we will just commend all of our members who participated in the tour­ nament this past winter season. Final Results Singles Ladies "A" - Cathy Bolger, McHenry Def.

Finals WHAT S NEW Rescue Squad Holds Second Bike-A-Thon The Lakes Region Rescue squad, a non-profit mobile intensive care unit servicing southwestern Lake county and southeastern McHenry county, including Moraine Hills State park and McHenry Dam State park, is holding its second annual Bike-a-thon Sunday, May 22, between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. The course will cover 30 miles. The proceeds will be used for permanent housing of the Lakes Region ambulance and to purchase up-to-date equipment to more efficiently and effectively service the community. The first prize, a ten-speed bike, will be awarded to the rider collecting the most money, and patches will be awarded to each rider finishing the full 30-mile course. Outdoor Club Climbs North Carolina Smokeys In their annual Easter trip, forty members of Marian Central Catholic high school's Outdoor club traveled 650 miles to the Great Smokey's National park for a backpacking ad­ venture. After a special Easter season Mass celebrated in Marian's chapel on Saturday, April 9, the group left in one bus and a van for their seventeen hour overnight drive to Fon- tana Lake, North Carolina the site of the group's entrance into the Great Smokey's park. Sunrise in the Smokey s greeted the backpackers with what was to prove to be four days of magnificent weather. Clear skies were com­ plemented with highs in the 80 degrees and cool nights in the 40 degrees. Because the hikers covered terrain with a 3,000 ft. altitude difference, the climate and vegetation varied from lush tropical rain forests on the bottom through a blooming southern spring with the dogwoods in full splendor to the sparse winter conditions of the mountain tops. Groups were organized into ten students and two adults. Every effort was made to avoid having any contact with another group during the four days of hiking. Both the group size and isolation combined to create a sense of small group identity and adventure. Each group was challenged in an unique way with the trials of the mountain trail and the duties of camp life. As each individual eventually climbed the final few feet to the 5,000 ft. summit of the mountain they sensed both an individual and group accomplishment for the effort made by all to reach the top. The return to civilization was accompanied by a longing for "real food," fond memories of the wilderness and a wealth of stories that were growing more exciting with each telling. Marian's Outdoor club definitely has the Smokey Mountains placed in high priority for future trips. Johnsburg P.T.O. Volleyball Marathon The second Johnsburg P.T.O. Volleyball Marathon will be held on May 14, 1977, at the Junior high from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m This is a continuation of the P.T.O.'s efforts to raise money for tennis courts. Hopefully, they will raise enough money from the Marathon to finish the fund and begin building the courts, which will benefit the entire community. To date, 74 people have signed up to play. Last year 35 people completed the 10 hours and netted a total of $4,300. Teachers from all schools will be playing, along with many parents. Visitors are welcome to come and watch the games at no charge. Backers are always welcome and anyone can back the player of their choice for whatever monetary figure they wish. Refreshments will be served at a small fee. The menu will consist of roast beef and hot dog sandwiches, potato chips, sweet rolls, coffee, tea, milk and pop. Anyone desiring any additional information can contact Mrs. Georgette Sobiesk at 497-3800 or Pat Williams at 385-0639. * * * * We hope our good neighbors have completed their plans for a fine vege­ table garden this year.

It's YOUR Honei BY DONALD DALEY PRESIDENT FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF McHENRY DO YOU KNOW HOW TO WRITE A CHECK? There are baaie rules for writing, endorsing, and depositing check*. Follow the rules to get good service from your bank, and to protect yourself. DO date the check properly; don't post-date. Don't leave any space between the dollar sign and the amount of the check you are writing (someone can slip in another figure and change $150 to. say SI, 150) or between the amount that you spell out and the word "dollar*." Draw a line through any empty spare. Don't change the way you sign your checks once you've chosen a standard signature. Don't use Miss. Mr.. Ms or Mrs. as part of your signature. A married woman should sign with her own first name. DO fill out the middle line (ending with the word "dollars"} with words and a fraction: i.e.. ten and 25/100. If you write a check for less than a dollar, be sure to put a decimal between the printed dollar sign and the amount (a tero in the dollars column is a good idea, too); on the middle line, write out "onlv cents'" and cross out the word "dollars. Don't use anyone else's check unless you've cut out the magnetic code number that appears on the bottom. Code reading machines can read the number even if you cross it out. For the same reason, don't let anyone else use one of your checks. DO endorse the check on the back exactly as it appears on the check. Then, if you are known by a dif­ ferent name, write that below. Just signing your name is a blanket en­ dorsement; it means the person holding the check owns it. If you bank by mail, a restrictive endor­ sement is wiser. Write "For deposit only" over your signature, or "Pa* to the order of " DO deposit checks as soon as you can. Sonic banks will not honor "outdated" checks. Don't write checks for "cash" unless you are actually cashing them at a bank or store. DO record every check you write, with much information about the ex­ penditure as you are going to Mailt to remember in a year, or at lax time. And don't sign anx blank checks! Whether you are interested in saving money...or borrowing. voiiMI find FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF McHENRY most accommodating! You will also receive fast, personal service...with a smile!
