At the Academic Recognition Dinner sponsored %y the McHenry High SchoolDistricf 158 Board of Education, a graduate of fifty-nine years was also honored. Mr. Harold J. "Zeke" Bacon, a member of the class of 1925, was presented a plaque in ab­ sentia by Board President Edward J. Neumann, naming him as a "Distinguished Graduate." Receiving the award for Mr. Bacon was his daughter, Mrs. Judy Harding, of Woodstock. In accepting the plaque, Mrs. Harding mentioned that her father was a kind and loving man who had a great deal of community spirit. She noted,, "When the tornado struck Crystal Lake in 1985, my dad immediately set out to help the families who were in desperate need." Following his graduation from McHenry High School, on June 5, 1925, the honoree became a \ clerk to the assistant cashier at the West McHenry State Bank. From this humble beginning, Bacon went on to distinguish himself in the business world, eventually becoming the chief executive officer, president and board chairman for the Home State Bank of Crystal Lake. Although his career was in banking as noted above, he was also very involved in community leadership activities. During World War n, he chaired the committee to sell war bonds in McHenry County. Bacon also was chairman of the finance committee that raised $1 million tn hrfp pnn«tanrt M>rinn Central Catholic High School and he also served as President of the Blackhawk area Boy scouts for 1984-66. These are only a few of his many unselfish volunteer and charitable con­ tributions to the McHenry County community.
