a SECTION 2-PAGE 1-PLAINDEALER--WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 1977 FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 19, 1927) Supervisor S.H. Freund of McHenry, a member of the county rights-of-way com­ mittee, reports that the rights- of-way on Route 61 have been secured from the Wisconsin line to Osborn's corners, two and one-half miles south of Richmond. The committee has been very successful in ef­ fecting settlements wherever there has been any damages incurred by the placing of the new state highway and it is expected that it will experience little, if any, trouble in securing the balance of the route, which connects with Route 19, near Crystal Lake. The activities which herald the approach of com­ mencement and the end of the school year, which means busy times especially for the members of the senior class, commenced on last Friday evening. At the time the Seniors were guests at the annual Prom given in their honor by the juniors the event being held at the high school. The Prom this year was a decided success with an attendance of more than 120 students and guests. N.C. Klein and John Bolger attended the annual convention of the Knights of Columbus at Ottawa last week.

And another honor given McHenry county was that of state treasurer of the Knights of Columbus, Walter F. Conway of Wood­ stock was unanimously picked to succeed himself, having already held the office one year. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 20, 1937) Although the belated spring has been a chilly one, with a white frost as recent as last Friday night, Nature is doing her best to make an advance and the country is again beautiful with fruit trees coming into full bloom, lawns and pastures are a beautiful green and gardens everywhere are lovely with early vari­ colored tulips and early spring flowers in bloom. Junior Bonslett and Jack Phalin narrowly escaped serious injuries last Thursday when they were burned and badly frightened by the ex­ plosion of a dynamite bomb supposed to have been left from the fireworks of last Fourth of July. The boys were mowing the lawn for Junior's grand­ father, William Bonslett, when they discovered what they thought was a big firecracker at the rear of the house and after examining it for a time they decided to light it and see if it would explode. The boys held a match at each end of the supposed firecracker and the bomb exploded sooner than expected. Junior was severely burned about the head and on his hand, but Jack escaped with only slight burns.
