Could we make it to the hand shelter? Alone it was a possibility, but not without abandoning the very reason for our being there, food. The warning was definite, but brief. One drop followed another, and nine drenched picnickers ran for their cars while the barbecue grills continued to emit smoke as the coals were touched by raindroos. Returning an hour later, when the downfall had diminished to a sprinkle, there were two grills with a few inches of charcoal water gravy; watermelon and canteloupe so diluted in their pineapple holder that one could scar­ cely distinguish them as the original products; and at least two pounds of mashed potatoes weakened from their original buttery fluffiness. It was a sorry sight. And as we trudged to the car with the remains of a once beautiful repast, it occurred to us that the good old summertime has its pitfalls just as surely as does the winter. At least we've never been routed from a Thanksgiving dinner in the parlor by ice or snow.

Varied Career Interests For Queen Candidates Modeling, business, marine zoology and computer technology are some of the varied career interests of the 14 Miss McHenry County candidates. The beautiful women will vie for the crown at the opening night of the McHenry County fair, Wednesday, Aug. 5. Each candidate brings a throng of supporters to cheer her, and an overflow crowd is expected for this popular event. The candidates range from a petite 5'0" to a statuesque 5*8". Just over half of the women have brown hair and-or blue eyes. Half of the contestants are 17 and all are either in college or looking forward to education after high school. "I'd like to first get my degree in radiology to become an x-ray technician," said Kimberly Koch, Miss Harvard. "From there I plan to further my education in other areas of the medical field. Fonda Zimmer, Miss Hebron, will- attend cosmetology school in Sep­ tember. "Lfcrill eventually open my own beauty shop," she said. The Miss McHenry representative, Deborah Poteracki, hopes to own and manager her own beauty salon. Sandra Rowe, Miss Huntley, aspires to be a professional model but said her second choice is to be a kindergarten teacher "because I love small children." Several girls attend McHenry County college with plans to go on to a four- year college. Julie Kuetemeyer, Miss Woodstock, studies German, Spanish, and later, business administration. Mary Lutsch, Miss Crystal Lake, plans to go on in marine biology and Miss Algonquin, Jeanne Konitzer, will enter MCC this fall to prepare for a career in psychology and drug therapy. Almost all of the girls are active in sports - skiing is by far the most popular. Many have also been involved in school and class activities, which they think have given them valuable ex­ perience. "I have been involved in many school activities," said Philanne Scully, Miss Wonder Lake, "that I feel benefit not only myself, but fellow students and future students." Susie St. John, Miss Union, expressed her thoughts about being in the contest, which are representative of most of the girls: "I'm really proud to be in this contest. I know I'll benefit from it and it will help me gain many new friends, improve my self-confidence, and give me an opportunity to represent my community."
