Ask for Jeannette Rowan-Papp. Dick will give you the com­ plete story on the event so I am hitting a few recollections down memory lane. in village halls where ceilings were too low. Many times we had to dress in the schools, then run through the snow to the site of the game. In early days, McHenry's old village hall was located just south of the present structure and that is where games were played. -- In my high school days, we used the little "boxcar" gym in what is now Landmark. When crowded conditions sprung up, we had to play on the tennis court surfaced with crushed stone. To no avail, we protested the loss of the gym. I told the assembled group how we played Hebron on the tennis court one time during a sleet storm. Zingo! Those little pellets were sharp. Transportation was a problem. We took the train to places like Genoa Junction and stayed overnight in a hotel that wasn't overheated. We pulled the rug over us to help keep warm. Going to Crystal Lake one night in a bobsled owned by Howard Phalin's father, the sled tipped and out we went into a snow bank. S .. school locker room, but took a real trimming. Nancy told of research into an early baseball game where the score was in the 50-40 range. I countered with a 9-6 score which our high school team took > at the hands (and elbows) of the alumni team. That was injthe "box-car". Football. their state championship were featured. Read Dick Rabbitt's report. Somebody said "Have a good day" --j and we did. Ed Wittrock mailed a Clipping telling how Sox pitcher Ed Walsh hurled .two complete games in one day, beating Boston 10-5 and 3-1. Ed added this note: 'Thought It was a joke when I won one- J™"" ^ even of candy for being the - though the Sox are in fifth Basketball was played mostly We tried to thaw out in the oldest football grad attending a homecoming game. We didn't even own a football in my high school days. mm Baseball. No television or golf course to sidetrack fans who turned out in great numbers for Sunday baseball games. There was heavy betting and sometimes teams brought in "ringers", especially pitchers. Some of my fondest memories cover times when I kept score for McHenry and Johnsburg teams. ___ - During prohibition days, Joe and George Frett made good beer in their basement. That is where we spent some winter evenings planning for the next summer. _ The bucket of beer was passed from one to another with a never a thought of germs. The Hebron Green Giants and place!! (He's a North Sider). Anne Sowers, in her Wonder taItp column, had some choice comments on my grocery shopping efforts. I think you hastened Alvina's recovery, Anne. Dorothy Noonan told tuTkbout a 300 game bowled by Bob Kinder at the Palace with the Fox Hole team. "That's like a hole-in-one," said Dorothy. It's great! Congratulations. Who remembers the words to the "Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia"? I can't think of all the words. A man meditates: What shall I say? and A woman meditates: What shall I wear? Good night. I'm still sleepy. College looking for musicians for jazz, chamber bands Both the McHenry County College Chamber ensemble and the MCC Jazz Band are looking for musicians.
