STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD BADMINTON WINNERS-Coach Bonnie Ruggero presents the MVP award to Jackie Wolf of the Varsity MCHS girls team. At right is Cindy Mann, voted the Most Improved player. 4Z STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD £ Marian Central Names 78 -'79 peerleaders And Pom Pon Squads Some months ago we made mention of men who worked on the sewer construction gang back in the 20's and also on the . ."new" birdge across Fox River at Route 120. Earl "Marty" Conway's name came up at that time. So I Hear now hears that Riverside Drive's now famous gardener, Harold "Schmaltz'" Miller, also worked on both of those projects. Of course, he was a mere child at the time. Some of you will remember the days before the machines took over when a storekeeper pounded brass tacks into the counter with measurements for selling yard goods. Then there were the days when hardware dealers sold only hardware instead of ladies hosiery, candy, peanuts or what have you. They put marks on the floor for measuring rope and wire screening. OLD TIME BASEBALL GREATS: Rube Waddell was one of the zaniest players of all time. One of his clown acts was to turn cartwheels on his way from the mound to the bench. The great Ted Williams had a lifetime batting average of just a shade under .350. And to think that today we have millionaire players batting 100 points less. Heard a story that Mel Ott reported to the New York Giants when he was only 16 years old. Rough and tough Manager John McGraw looked him over and decided he was too small to consider as a catcher. "Did you ever play the outfield?", asked Mc Graw. "Only when I was a kid ", said Ott. Mazie Buss and Delores Overton are the design artists and also the planters of flowers outside the McHenry Country Club entrance. We stopped to watch the gals, but left suddenly when our better half piped up with, "Do you need any help9" At this writing the Chicago baseball teams are doing just fine. Harry Caray announced a delegation present in Kansas City from McHenry and Johnsburg. Must be a crowd went down to see Chuck Hiller. Chuck probably wasn't too happy when the Sox beat his team in the first two games of the series. . Then came the third game on Sunday and the roof fell in on the Sox to the tune of 13 to 2. Maybe the Sox made them mad. I know one thing and it isn't two things. The Sox will have to replace a couple of old pitchers with young, strong armed flame throwers. It looked like the Cubs couldn't stand prosperity as they went into a swoon in Montreal, but back they came. They have some players who aren't hitting their weight. A few more hits would help a pitching staff that has sur­ prised even the experts. You can't beat fun at the old ball park or for that matter from your easy chair in the living room. Don't drive over the speed limit in McHenry. Just look at the list of tickets. Have always contended that if we obeyed the signs at the right side of the road, there wouldn't be many tickets. Nor would there be many accidents. When Verona Kent asked me where I got the sun tan, my 1 casual reply was "In the garden". From the way she laughed, there seemed to be a little doubt in her mind. Have been wanting oyster stew for some time so Alvina bought a can, a name brand that was supposed to be real good. Would you believe? There were only two little oysters in the whole can. Only two, and they didn't have their full growth. SUDDEN THOUGHT. Most people think more of their birthday than any other day of the year.

In games May 30: Nickel Wins Again Wooden Nickel scored early and had a 6-0 lead, but had to subdue a Residential rally to defeat them, 9-8. Sue O'Heir, the Nickel's leading hitter and shortstop, tripled to key the early Nickel attack. Residential staged a late- inning comeback, but the rally fell one run short.

Being unable to use the many group pictures sent in, a decision was made to discon­ tinue all league groups except championship teams. Pictures takes by our staff photographers of athletes on the high school level will be selected as to their importan­ ce. Individual pictures of various sports will be appraised as to their newsworthy value and available space. It was a flood of group pic­ tures last year that made this decision by the management necessary.
