Ms. Freund finished the round with a 100, and her 36-hole score of 201 was good enough for second place, three strokes behind the club champion, Nancy McAuliffe. Pinky Smith won the Class 'B' tournament, and Connie Marshall was the Class 'C' champion. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLOHD Warrior Runners Excel In Cross Country Meet Three McHenry runners were among the top ten finishers in the senior race at the 17-team Grant-Crystal Lake Invitational cross country meet, held Saturday at Veterans Acres. The Warriors finished fourth in the senior division race, but a complicated scoring system and lack of depth at lower levels pushed McHenry back to a, still impressive, seventh place team finish. The meet was conducted with races run for freshmen, sophomores,' juniors, and seniors. The team scores were then added together to determine an overall champion, which turned out to be Hersey. However, the major was on the senior division race, which featured top runners from Palatine, the fourth-ranked team in the state. True to form, Palatine runners finished one, two, but McHenry's Mike Burrmann was the next one across the finish line: Warrior Kevin Weisenberger was fifth, and teammate Vince Linnane was tenth.

Saturday's effort came in the wake of a somewhat disappointing loss to Crystal Lake Thursday in a North Suburban conference meet. The Warriors lost to Crystal Lake 25-34, but defeated Mundelein 17-38. Earlier in the year, McHenry's top three r u n n e r s , B u r r m a n n , Weisenberger, and Linnane, all finished ahead of the all Crystal Lake runners, an occurrance which would have guaranteed victory Thursday. However, the best McHenry could do was 1, 3, and 7, with Burrmann being the individual winner. The cross country team returns to action Thursday with a conference meet at Crown. Zion-Benton will also be in the meet. Saturday, the Warriors will run in the prestigious Peoria Invitational meet. VOLLEYBALL LEAGUE The Oak Park Lounge volleyball league completed a successful first year of play last Sunday as the Solon Slammers. Dr. Les Krieger's entry into the league, won the league playoff to cap off a fine season where they won the regular season league championship also. Sunday's first h>und action saw the finals bound Old Bridge team defeating the Oak Park Lounge team soundly by scores of 21-9, and 21-14. The Coppermine was next to advance as they took two close games from the Wooden Nickel. The scores were 21-14 and 21-16. The Solon Slammers had much less trouble with Rhino's, winning their two games 21-9 and 21-8. The victory by the Solon Slammers enabled them to receive a berth in the finals automatically , because of finishing higher in the regular season standings than either the Old Bridge or the Coppermine. The Coppermine thus had to play the Old Bridge for the right to meet the Slammers in the finals. This set up the upset MCHENRYSHORES LADIES LEAGUE High High game series We Three, L.

A STORY I MUST TELL (A letter to Family Safety) The young boy watched his father burning leaves that had been gathered from the garden and was enjoying the sight of the yellow flames that reached for the sky. The leaves hissed and crackled as they died, giving off a pungent smoke that made his eyes smart. As he watched, he thought how much fun it would be if he and his friends had their own bonfire. Days later, the boy and some friends started one. It wasn't as large or as beautiful as the one the boy's father had made. Perhaps it was because the leaves, ripped off before their time had too much life and refused to die. And then the boys decided that it would be great to have a bonfire with flames reaching high to the sky. They knew what to do. The gardener kept his gasoline in a nearby shed, and it was there the boys found it. They argued over who would be the one to pour it over the smoldering leaves, and as they tugged on the can some of the gasoline splashed on the chest and of the playoffs as in three games the Old Bridge edged out the Coppermine who had finished second in the regular season. The scores with the Old Bridge winning the first and third games were 21-18, 9-21, and 21-15. In the finals the Old Bridge again seemed set on an upset as they took the Slammers to the end before losing 21-17 in the first game. But after the first game victory the veteran Slammers wasted no time putting away the Old Bridge 21-16, for the Championship.

Dan Walker Speaks To MCC Journalism Class shoulders of the boy who eventually won. He approached the dying bonfire with confidence and emptied the gasoline on it. Instantly, the flames leaped upward, enveloping the boy's chest, shoulders, face and, finally, the black curls of his hair. How it hurt him! I remember it as if it were yesterday. 1 shall always remember the screams of pain, his mother's frenzied look, his father's silent tears. That December was not a month of joy for us. My sons were present when their friend was burned. Together with them later, trying to explain the unexplainable, the bitter question came to me -- why? Why do such things happen? The answer of my eight-year- old son, Andres, hurt me as much as the flames had hurt the boy at the bonfire. "Papi," he said, "you are the safety chief and you know that gasoline is dangerous. Why didn't you teach us?*' ,k This incident to which I was a witness has in one form or another affected everyone in our neighborhood. Alfred Fajardo Ramos Director, Industrial Safety Alcalis de Colombia Cartagena, Colombia Former Illinois Governor Dan Walker will speak to McHenry County College students on Oct. 5. Walker will be a guest speaker in a journalism course and will tell students about his experiences dealing with newspapers, radio, and television during his campaign and his tenure as governor. Walker will also be available to answer questions from the general public between 8 and 8:30 p.m. in the student lounge on the lower level of the MCC main hall building. His speech to the journalism students and other interested observers will begin at 7 p.m. in room 241 of the main hall building. Walker's visit to MCC is part of an ongoing series of speakers who are talking to the thirty-six students in the introduction to mass communications course at the college. All of the other speakers are currently working in the field of mass communications. The students have heard about the life of a columnist from Chicago Tribune labor columnist Mike LaVelle and about magazine publishing from Bernadette Doran, editor of an educational trade magazine. A CBS network news reporter, Jackie Casselberry will be the class speaker on Oct. 19. Others scheduled to talk to the journalism students include Jay Robert Nash, author of a new encyclopedia of disasters titled "The Darkest Hours"; Chicago author Studs Terkel who authored "hard Times", and "Working"; and a reporter and a city editor from the Chicago Daily Defender, a newspaper aimed at the Black community. Joseph Longmeyer, the instructor for the course. explains that the studenLs are doing more than just listening to journalists. After the speeches the students are involved in writing a press release about what they heard and then they distribute the releases to area newspapers. Longmeyer explains that the students deliver the releases in person so that they will have a chance to actually talk to local editors. Part of their assignment is to try to interest the editor in doing more of a storc on the speaker than is included in the short release prepared by the class. Longmeyer explains that 80 to 85 percent of the items printed in newspapers are public relations handouts rather than "real news". "We are now proving that we can do this ourselves" he told his students Wednesday, pointing to copies of their releases that have been printed by area newspapers. The students are also giving local papers photographs of their speakers taken in class by one of the students, Roy Dickenson. Longmeyer said the students also discuss readings for the course which is a> survey of the field, aimed at helping the students understand what happens in the media. The course is the first Longmeyer has tausht at MCC. A Cary resident, he currently works as director of public relations for the Combined Counties Police Association, a police labor organization. Longmeyer has also worked as a reporter and an editor for the Chicago Daily Defender and has done public relations for the Seafarers International Union. During the spring semester he will teach a newswriting course at MCC. Health Tip 'Knrni the Arn»tri"»n Medical Association > Sn.llKNTIIKAI.ni Is your child having trouble keeping up his or her grades in school? The American Medical association points out that there may be a physical reason for the poor record. Does the child squint, strain, rub his eyes or complain that they hurt, water or itch? Does he hold his book very close to his face when he reads? Has it been some tiir - since his last eye examination? He may have defective vision. He may not be able to read the teacher's notes on the blackboard. Does he often ask you to repeat a question or statements? Does he sometimes miss, or seem to miss, a point made in a movie or on television by the spoken word? Does he turn his head to one side as he listens? He may have defective hearing. It might be as simple as impacted wax in the ears, which can bte removed by your physician in a simple office procedure. Of course, the inattentive child may have no hearing problem at all. Children know we will repeat the question or in­ struction, thus encouraging a habit of not listening. Has he had an infection, disease or accident whose effects may be lingering on? Is there a possibility that poor nutrition may be holding him back? He may be eating con­ siderable quantities of food and still be undernourished, if he eats improperly, or if his tastes in food are too limited. If your child isn't performing properly in his school work, ask yourself whether it is time for an examination to determine whether his problems are caused by a physical problem that might be corrected. •i lo rwmBions; .S-h.h on ha* .

Joy Walkers" Are Driver's ;* Responsibility One of the major responsibilities of motorists is alertness to the actions df pedestrians while driving ip cities or towns. "Jay walkers" are the primary problem. They cross streets in the middle of the block, pay no attention to the stop lights in downtown areas and are always in a hurry to cause dangerous situations. Some cities even issue tickets for "jay walking", but a driver must always be on guard to avoid hitting anyone. Drivers should be on guard when driving in a residential area. Statistics show that riost children are hit by vehicles in the middle of the block. limits in school areas, watch for the red lights at crossings and obey school traffic guards when on duty. Also, remember that it is the driver's responsibility to yield to pedestrians when they are crossing intersections on the"walk" signal on traffic lights. In addition, watch foi* them when they illegally cross on "don't walk" signals. uuuuuu uuuuuoupucropoo o o o o o o D O O O O O o o o o o D O O O O o o o o D O O O OOQ/JOOOO o o o o o o o o o O O O D O O O O O O 500 o o o o o o o ooooooooooooo ooo ooooc ooo O O G O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O > o C # o < j o o < . o o o v u o o o ^ !J0 00QL00( oooowooo c j o o o o o n o o c O O O O O O O O O D O O O O t l O O O O O U O O O > o o foo, tOOj CHAPEL Hill ROAD AT FOX RIVER JOHNSSURG ILLINOIS 385-1475 YOUR HOSTS: RAYMOND ft FELICIA KUNA OPEN 24 HOURS FRI.
