Winter Olympic Film Available To Public The official United States Olympic committee film of the 1976 Winter games at Inn­ sbruck, Austria, is now available for frpe public showing. The twenty-seven minute color film features the exciting pageantry of the traditional opening and closing ceremonies as well as such highlights as the incandescent performance of nineteen-year- old Dorothy Hamill, who climaxed a six-year drive to the top with a dramatic free skating performance to win the gold medal in the ladies' ice skating singles. It also chronicles Sheila Young's spirited performance at the speed skating rink, where she became the first U.S. athlete to win gold, silver and bronze medals in the speed skating events. Also featured are Peter Mueller's 1,000-metcr speed skating performance, Cindy Nelson's bronze medal finish in the < dangerous women's downhill skiing event, Jimmy FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 12, 1927) McHenry can now claim a new, modern and up-to-date bakery which is going to be much appreciated by our residents. This new enterprise is known as Marshall's Bakery and is located in the former M M. Niesen building on Green street. Mr. and Mrs. Marshall came here from Champaign, where they successfully con­ ducted a similar business and they are by no means strangers to this community. The annual Mother's Day party given by Court Joyce - Kilmer, No. 573, Catholic Daughters of America, took ; place on Monday, May 7, at Justen's hotel. A sumptuous dinner of several courses preceded a most enjoyable program. It's up to the people of McHenry and vicinity to watch their step these days, for as many of us are aware by this time, there's a motorcycle cop in town. Better read up on the parking rules and laws and regulations of your old home town or you'll find a .ticket perched upon your car and well, you know the rest. That the season of 1927 will prove to be a very busy one is made evident by the amount of business already being done by Mr. and Mrs. Fred Justen, the hospitable and gehial proprietors of the Riverside hotel. On Monday they served a banquet to 150 guests for the Daughters of America and on Wednesday they served a wedding dinner to seventy-five guests. They also served during the week to seventy-five of the, special .workmen who are repairing the damage for the Public Service company caused by the recent storm. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 13, 1937) , With the announcement of commencement dates, bac­ calaureate services and lists of graduates, we realize that again the school year is drawing to a close. Com­ mencement exercises will take place a few days later than usual this year and will occur at the high school on Friday evening, June 4, when thirty- three graduates will receive diplomas. Col. (Marshall C. Graff will be the speaker at the commencement exercise of the high school this year and will have for his subject, "Today-A 9 Challenge or an Alibi." Miss Maurie Taylor, teacher of languages at the local high school and members of her French II class enjoyed a trip to Chicago last Thursday af­ ternoon, where they spent some busy hours in visits to French circles. They attended a French play, "Carnival in Flanders" at the World Playhouse and a French revue at the Chicago theatre as well as a visit to the Art Institute, where French pictures were studied. Gus Freund, Pearl street business man and graduate of the Community high school, has filed his petiiton as a candidate for a member of the grade school board of education to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mat Steffes. Mr. Freund is also a son-in-law of Mr. Steffes who had been a member of the board since 1922. The Community high school is indebted to Dr. D.G. Wells for a fine collection of books which he has presented to the library of the school. The collection of about fifty volumes include reference books, covering both general as well as English subjects, as well as those along other lines. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 15, 1952) / As the result 'of three pre­ school aged Children being bitten by dog^ wandering at large on Tuesda^.of this week, the McHenry City Council has announced that severe action is being taken against the owners and their animals. After a week or ten days the Council will take action in shooting all dogs found roaming through the city. Before that time, a substantial fine will be imposed if owners of dogs wandering at large can be found. Nine of the top students of our local grade schools were honored and feted by the Kiwanis club of McHenry Township Monday evening. R.L. Tazewell, county superintendent of schools, presented merit award cer­ tificates to James Freund and Katherine Kirk of McHenry grade school; Robert Cormier and Anne Lundborg of Harrison school; Jack^Huff and Jewel C. May of Johnsburg public school; Betty Jane Schaefer and Robert Sullivan of St. Mary's-St. Patrick's; and Fred Bowman of Ringwood grade school. Mrs. Abbie Falk of McHenry, who has served three months of three six-month jail sentences which were to run con­ currently, was released on probation this past week by Judge Henry L. Cowlin in county court. Mrs. Falk had been sentenced for shoplifting from several local business houses. The McHenry women, in need of medical attention, was said to have been turned over to a sister in Berwyn at the request of her attorney. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 18, 1967) McHenry's dream of a large park came nearer to reality Monday night at the City Council meeting when David Ladd presented a colored sketch prepared by a park planner. In the overall development plans of Whispering Oaks, 50 acres were set aside for park purposes. This was to be developed as) each unit of the planned unit area progressed. Both the developer and the City Council members are now anxious to get the plan underway. The proposed park plan shows 20 acres to be planned at this stage with parking area near the Crystal Lake road en­ trance, picnic areas, and a 20 foot walkway the entire length of the area. Recreation facilities will follow as soon as funds are available. A new concept in education, not only in McHenry but in the nation, may be adopted in the city's new high school if plans proposed by Dr. Carl Bergstrom, superintendent of schools and approved by the board, are put into effect. Among the proposals are in­ cluded the following: 1. Abolition of study halls; 2, unscheduled school time, during any part of the day a student could be in the classroom, library, learning center, lounge or cafeteria; 3. "Learning packets" of in­ dividualized study projects whereby students report to teachers every two weeks on one-to-one basis; 4. A director of research for the high school; 5. A re-evaluation of the pupil- teacher ratio. Suggest Ways To Amuse Children During Summer Millns's and Colleen O'Con­ nor's third place showing in a new Olympic event called ice dancing and Nordic skier Bill Koch's surprising silver medal victory in the men's 30- kilometer cross country race. The film includes action- packed scenes from every event at the Winter Olympics, from bobsledding, ice hockey, the biathlon and luge, to breathtaking slow motion shots of 90-meter ski jumping. The film is available, at no cost, to individuals, church, civic, youth and school groups through Modern Talking Picture service, which has offices in most principal cities. No Sale "I see your husband has a new stenographer," remarked Mrs. Busybody to the lady on whom she was calling. "Yes?" "Yes, and she's very pretty." "I know, she's our daught­ er." Summertime is outdoor playtime. With a little imagination and some simple materials the backyard can be turned into a creative playground for children, says Nancy Moore, University of Illinois Extension home economist. Some boards seven to ten feet long and ten inches wide, some wooden boxes of different sizes, and some large hollow wooden blocks are needed. None should be so large or heavy that children are unable to move them. Sand these items to smooth the surface and paint them bright colors. A long smooth board has a number of uses. Raised at one end by a sturdy wooden box, it makes an excellent slide. Supported at both ends by large wooden blocks or boxes, it becomes a bridge or a balance beam. Cut some of the long boards in half. Children can use short boards, along with blocks and boxes, to build sidewalks, roads and stairs. Boxes may be used as trains, cars, fire engines, stoves, or refrigerators, adds Ms. Moore. Encourage creative use of these materials by providing simple props such as cardboard boxes, small pieces of hose, hats, toy dishes, telephones or a wooden steering wheel at­ tached to half a broomstick. Homemade ladders about four feet long with rungs about eight inches apart add ver­ satility to boxes and boards. Encourage children to rearrange the play objects every few days. Children soon become bored if the materials are left in the same positon day after day. When the objects are moved, however, children will see new uses for them. _ No play area should be un­ supervised. Be sure the structures are safe, and help children climb safely. Be aware of how they use p l a y g r o u n d e q u i p m e n t . Without telling the children what to do, help them see new play possibilities. They do have ideas and should be able to play freely and comfortably, says Ms. Moore. Children will love to have a playground in their own backyard that is theirs to change if they wish.
