PAGE 2 > PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 1W1 Fiftieth Anniversary i MR. AND MRS. BERNARD ODEEN Bernard and Phyllis Odeen, formerly of Wonder Lake, recently celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary at a party for 120 guests. The celebration was hosted by the couple's three daughters and sons-in-law. About Your Wedding In order to serve McHenry area brides, the Plaindealer mails wedding forms to all whose engagements have been announced in the paper and carry a definite date. We ask that these com­ pleted forms be retur­ ned three days before the wedding. The story containing all the information given on the form will appear only during the week following the wedding, except in the case of out-of-state weddings, where an additional week is allowed. Forms received the .second week after the wedding will be printed with the omission of a description of the attire worn. Photographs will be printed any time later, or will be included with the wedding infor­ mation if they accom­ pany the story at the prescribed deadline. If your engagement an- j nouncement has not - been published, or if the date of the wedding was not known at that time, please call our of­ fice and request that a marriage form be sent. Space problems ex­ perienced by a non- daily newspaper, and a desire to print up-to- date news, make this policy necessary. Spool Pegs To keep thread from getting tangled, glue golf tees upside down in a cigar box. Place spools over golf tees.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Cooperation between the McHenry Chamber of Commerce and McHenry High school District 156 has resulted in the development of a series of career awareness workshops for interested students. According to Ron Dale, District 156 vocational director, the executive director of the Chamber, Fran Olsen, has assisted the high school vocational staff in every way possible to line up effective and interesting speakers. The topics selected for presentation were decided upon through a survey of student interests. Some of the areas of greatest.interest are electronic data processing and programming, auto repair, airline occupations, accounting, fashion design and modeling, photography and child care. In addition to these areas which were frequently requested by students, over seventy other occupations will be presented to interested students. Presenters representing the various occupations come from both local businesses and industry and also from other Chicago area communities. The support from local business people and professionals has been encouraging to members involved in developing this program. The development of career awareness activities is considered an essential part of the school program in view of the rapid pace which technology has changed in recent years. In order to make appropriate career choices, the schools feel students must be kept aware of the educational requirements necessary to obtain jobs which interest them. The career awareness workshops are going a long way toward helping to fill this need.

All members of the McHenry Senior Citizens club are reminded that the next meeting, scheduled for March 9, will be at the East campus cafeteria instead of the West school where the group has been holding its meetings. Marie Thomas, a rehabilitation therapist, will entertain everyone with a musical program. She has studied music for many years in America and Europe and has experience as a teacher of learning disability * classes. Some McHenry residents will remember her organ and piano playing at the country club. At the Feb. 23 meeting president, David Liehr, announced that the next meeting and all future meetings will be held in the East campus cafeteria. The officers made arrangements to meet at East because it will be easier for the seniors to meet where there are not so many stairs to climb. Virginia Nix, treasurer, read the minutes of the last meeting, in the absence of Florence Roth, secretary. Pat Gatlin, acting Program chairperson, asked everyone to help her by making suggestions for arranging future meetings. She then introduced Clem Umbdenstock and Bob Bachwafisky, who conducted games for the evening and awarded prizes. Thomas Gatlin, vice- president, reviewed the procedures for signing up for tours. He reminded everyone that reservations must be made in person and after the business meeting, a time will be set aside to make reservations. All present welcomed the newsletter written by Morris Rogers with the assistance of Pat Gatlin. It lists the procedure for singing up for tours and should be kept for future reference. Gem Umbdenstock, Tour chairperson, announced that reservations will be taken March 9 for the bus tour to see "Man of LaMancha" on April 23. The bus will leave at 11 a.m., and lunch will be at the Marriott before the show. Umbdenstock is also arranging for a bus tour to see "Carousel" at the Fireside in Wisconsin. Leona Husch, Membership chairperson, reported that there are 342 paid-up members; 97 were in at­ tendance. Historian and Publicity chairperson, Carolyn Bauer, urged committees to furnish her with information about their plans and activities so that they can receive proper coverage. Evelyn Liehr, Greeter, awarded prizes to Tom Gatlin, William Lewis and Clem Umbdenstock. Delicious homemade sweets were served by Anna Lura and her committee.
