The play is the classic 1939 comedy, "The Man Who Came To Dinner", by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. "The Man Who Came To Dinner" will be performed "in-the-round" in the Johnsburg high school auditorium. A large cast of 25 students has been rehearsing for the past two months.

Not only does Whiteside impose on Mr. and Mrs. Stanley, many of his wild and eccentric friends call on him, causing Mrs. Stanley to have fainting spells.

Included in the cast are Paul Metzger, Linda Davidson, M. J. Anderson, and Lisa Boyer. Other leading roles are played by Rick Schaller, Missy Davis, Ed Foster, Scott Tvaroh, Cheryle Burkhardt, and Debbie Swinford. Curtain time is 8 p.m. the first two> performances.

FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Feb. 9, 1933). In the grip of the worst storm of the winter, McHenry is gradually getting back to normal conditions and digging out from snow drifts that have paralyzed traffic and made walking difficult. Conditions have been made more difficult because of the extreme cold with the temperature at 18 to 20 below zero and a new cold wave reported on its way. The Linger Longer bridge club met with Mrs. Frank Meyer at her home on Waukegan street. Prize winners were Mrs. Ed Young, Mrs. Louis McDonald and Mrs. Peter Schaefer. The next meeting will be at the home of Mrs. Peter M. Weber at Lily Lake. Under the leadership of Thomas P. Bolger of McHenry, the McHenry County Red Cross chapter has made fine progress in its reorganization program. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of February 11, 1943). Out of approximately 225 ser­ vicemen from this vicinity, only a very few are in the particular branch of the service known as the Marines. One of these is Richard "Dick" Weber of this city. Dick enlisted many months ago and was called into active service Sept. 7. On Oct. 31, he was sent overseas and within a few weeks his parents heard that he was in Pearl Harbor. The medals on his snappy uniform are for rifle range, overseas training and good behavior. Corp. Gene Adams and Pfc. Steve Harvey attended high school together. They were both inducted into the Army in October 1941. They were then sent to Camp Roberts, Calif., where they spent most of last winter before leaving for Oregon in February. They were then appointed to guard duty along the Oregon and Washington coast. About the middle of March word was received that the boys had arrived in Australia and were still together. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of February 13, 1958). Many people of the McHenry area will present themselves with heads bowed on Ash Wednesday, Feb. 19, in their various churches for the traditional cermony of receiving ashes. This is the official opening of the season of Lent. Lauretta Homo of West Shore Beach, McCuIlom Lake, was named chairman of the McHenry Heart fund drive. Star Scout Dave Kerr, 15, of Troop 162 of the Boy Scouts has been selected for the honor of acting as master of ceremonies for the father and son banquet. The young man was accorded the honor because of his loyalty, ability and sincerity in scouting. TEN YEARS AGO Taken from the files of February 14, 1973). When Capt. John Borling stepped the plane at Clark Air base, in the ippines, there were few more u. lied than a young McHenry girl. For the past year, Karla K. Myers, II, has been wearing a POW bracelet containing the name of Capt. Borling, purchased for her by her family. She has faithfully kept her pledge to wear it until he was released from a prisoner of war camp. To date, Karla has not heard from Capt. Borling's family, although she wrote to them recently to offer encouragement. The prospect of lively races in most city wards is evident. Mayor Donald P. Doherty, completing his third term in office, will be opposed by Jttftftih B. Stanek, presently an alderman ^ in Ward II. Entertainers Af Church KAY NOWLIN AND MICHAEL JORGENSEN The Greenwood-Ringwood parish again welcomes Kay Nowlin and Michael Jorgensen to the Ringwood United Methodist church on Ash Wednesday, Feb. 16, at 7:15 p.m. The service will be preceded by a potluck dinner at 6:30 p.m. in the church dining room. Kay and Michael perform professionally with the Chicago Symphony chorus. In addition to their professional experience, they both hold master's degrees in vocal per­ formance from Northwestern university. They are entertainers in the truest sense of the word, bringing outstanding music to audiences ranging from public television to famous churches to college workshops, where they teach as well as entertain. Their program Wednesday evening will include both sacred and secular music with numbers from Show Boat, Porgy and Bess, and Carousel. The public is invited to hear their beautiful music. 4-H Youths Present Gifts At Foundation Annual Meet World's Largest The Parana River, along the border between Para­ guay and Brazil, is the longest in South America after the Amazon.

FEBRUARY 11,1983 Challenge Filed For Village Trustee Seat by Kurt Begalka SHAW MEDIA NEWS SERVICE Two seats on the Richmond Village board will be open on April 5. Incumbents Carl Metz and Robert Gray are running for their second, four-year term. Judy Freund is challenging them. "Out of 1,100 people, you'd think we could at least get five to run," Ms. Freund says. "I think it would have been good to have seven people. The worst you can do is lose. I don't un­ derstand why people are not more interested in the village." Earlier last week the board voted not to raise salaries. Trustees still will receive $20 per month, the president $1,000. a year and the clerk's salary will remain $9,400 per year. "We feel we've made some strides," Metz said. "We know where the money is. "I'm not so quick to belly ache since I got involved and got a feel for what it takes to keep the village afloat," he added. "The first time I ran there were not enough candidates. Somebody has to do it." The board voted to send the Geneva Lake Joint Area Transit commission $665 plus interest of the $750 GLA Chairman George Hennerley requested last month. When Richmond joined the GLA in 1980, it was requested to pay a one­ time special associate fee of $100, according to Richmond Clerk Kathleen Hellmann. The next year the GLA asked Richmond for more money -- $750 in dues requested of member municipalities. A railroad fund drive was organized by Arnold N. May and the check sent in 1981. The remainder was placed in the bank and restricted for main­ taining the depot. Metz made a motion to give the GLA the money as a final payment. The Chicago & North Western has threatened to begin removing the rails Two-Second Rule To avoid tailgating you should allow two seconds of time between you and the car ahead of you, advises the National Safety Council. between Ringwood and Lake Geneva, Wis., in March. "Actually, we're just giving them their own money," Gray said. "We can't use it for anything else." The board passed tfre In­ tergovernmental PolictTService Agreement, joining Island Lake, Harvard, Crystal Lake, Wonder Lake and McCuIlom Lake. --Trustee Vern Block abstained. "What good is a mutual aid agreement if everyone doesn't par­ ticipate," he said. Metz disagreed. "Everyone is sitting back to see what everyone else is doing," he said. "If we do not want to sign this agreement, we might as well order the (police) chief not to let his men leave the village limits." Hellmann said their insurance agent assured her the rates would not go up and that Richmond police would be covered in another municipality. "I don't see what difference it makes," Hellmann said. "If you find your insurance rates go up, you can drop out within 30 days." John Shay, director of McHenry County emergency services disaster agency, is the prime mover behind the plan. Shay wants to lay an in­ frastructure for a countywide disaster procedure and the police plan is the first step. The plan requires that each municipality be liable for its own equipment and men if they are called to another town, Shay said. As it stands now, the municipality requesting help usually pays for damages. "That can bankrupt a small com­ munity," Shay said. Local goverments were to vote on the plan by Feb. 1, but that date is long gone. "It's something that's been going on forever," Metz said. f CELEBRATE VALENTINE'S DAY AT THE LONGHORN r-SATURDAY & SUNDAY-i 5WB Mm STEAK. *4* "Che Xonghom $teak House RTE. 120.2Vt MILES EAST OF McHENRY 385-9869 Open Weekdays 0-8; Saturday 9-5.
