/ SECTION 2 - PAGE 11 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, MAY 30, 1984 Graduation service breaks attendance record Skating marathon set FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 31, 1M4) All attendance records of former baccalaureate services at McHenry high school were broken Sunday night when a packed house of relatives and friends heard the address of Father Nell in the annual baccalaureate address to the graduates. The large attendance was due, probably, to two causes, first, the increased number of graduates this year, TWICE TOLD TALES Edited from our files of years gone by and second, because of the return of Father Nell, a former resident of this vicinity, whose many friends and relatives here turned out to hear his address of the evening.
