V PAGF ai - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28,1960 Illinois Celebrates Christmas Illinois celebrates Christmas in big cities with shiny jffcggprations and ex­ citing parades - in small towns with storybook characters and candlelight tours of historic landmarks - and on the prairie with cozy sleigh rides and vignettes of Christmases gone by.

Here's where to go: Chicago's Parade and Tree Lighting Ceremony: The holiday season gets a big city kick-off Sunday, Nov. 30, at 1 p.m. when the traditional "Santa's Fan­ tasy", parade makes its way down State street from Wacker drive to Congress Parkway.

S.I.H. notes: Turning back the pages of time is sometimes great fun, but turning back just a few pages to the Northwestern win over Notre Dame is just a pain in the neck. Losing the game wasn't bad, but the way those "Fighting Irish" lost was a horse of a dif­ ferent color. The boys fought, make no mistake, but their tackling was terrible. In a last minute, story­ book finish the Reedmen became Redmen and went on the warpath to pull a basketball game out of the fire when they defeated Grant, 28 to 27.

Bar- bian received a letter of congratulations on their sixty-fourth wedding an­ niversary from Governor and Mrs. William Stratton. A contribution from a reader of Musin' and Meanderin', one of McHenry's university students, gives one something to remember: It's kind of nice to be important but it's more important to be nice.

TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of November 24, 1970) Following • considerable discussion on the * for­ thcoming referendum to secure funds to build per­ manent facilities for the McHenry County college, President Thomas Parsley commented to the board that "the delay has hurt us. We have all been worried about the state's withdrawing some of the state aid." The business administrator said the college would be 994,000 in the red if the referendum fails to pass Dec. 5. A board member said the most important thing now was to get the college built and the best site would be the Ladd property. Pfc. Fred T.
