For them it was the old high school on Green street, and there was no doubt about it. They came from the East and from the West, and there were at least two from the South. What class did they represent? It wasn't too important as they mingled and recalled "the good old days" when classes were small enough that friendships included the entire student body. There couldn't have been a more appropriate choice for toastmaster than Elmer "Biff Meyer, whose loyalty to McHenry has been un­ swerving in the many years since he left the hometown. And that loyalty has always been shared by Fred Mueller, who made the long trip from Warner Robbins, Ga., to be part of the festivities. Drawing the biggest applause was Guy Duker of Champaign, who when called upon, strode up to the microphone in the manner of his late father, Supt. C.H. Duker. One class member commented later, "It was as if C.H. Duker was there with us". Guy's own observation brought chuckles, "Sometimes when I look in the mirror I ask, 'Am I really Guy Duker or C.H. Duker'?" It was evident every person in that room remembered the positive in­ fluence of this quiet man who ad­ ministered in an entirely different educational climate than exists today. These students of a half century ago recalled how he had touched their lives and felt his son's remarks were a 'living tribute' to him.

The License committee will con­ sider the ordinance and make a recommendation to the council concerning poesible changes. In other business, the council voted to enter into sn agreement with Residential Development Group to provide access to a 14-acre area off Dartmoor drive, a portion of which is to be used as a playground for children in the Fox Ridge area.

A motion by Stephen Yost, attorney for Fritxsche, that the units not be ssssssiiii a $300 security deposit was denied by Judge Herrmann. Yoat argued that the record was unclear whether the law establishing the security deposit was properly passed. Fritzsche contends that the rates assessed by the Village of Lakemoor are "exorbitant" and the manner in which the law wss applied violated his constitutional guarantee of "fair and equal protection under the law." The village argues that Fritzsche must show "by s clear and convincing margin" that the rates sre exorbitant Village attorneys said Fritzsche must also rebut the engineering assump­ tions upon which the ordinance establishing the rstes were based Clear Man In Robbery Oliver A man identified as having robbed the First Federal Savings and Loan, 4400 W.
