Cow Girls Come To Town
The Texas Cow Girls, a girl's basketball team, came to Huntley last Thursday night, December 21, and played an exhibition game with a combination of teachers and farmers from Huntloy.
Oaturally, the girls won, but there was quite a bit of horsenlay, and everyone enjoyed themselves, especially  the  players.
There were many things which happened in this game which would not have happened in a reg¬ ulation basketball game.
At one point four of tho girls on the team joined hands and circled one of the players to shoot one of the baskets.
Another time a girl dribbled through Bud Weber's legs to make a basket Coach Polacheck from the high school was lassoed and hog tied by one of the girls from the team.
During the half time Mr. Henry Marlowe shot some free throws. The girls turned Mr Marlowe around before he shot the baskets. Following Mr. Marlowe, one of tho girls from the team was to shoot ten free throws blindfolded. Howe\er, Mr. Marlowo got into the act and after she was blind¬ folded, pulled down her shin guard. As a result she only made fixe of the ten bash«ts
Max Bundgard from Huntley was dressed in his hill-billy cos¬ tume left over from the slave sale. Max played a while in the game and also participated in some other antics.
The players on the team were Coach Anderson, Ed Ream, Glen Delaney, Bud Weber, Barney and Delwin Borhart, Mr. Workowski, Ward Plane, Max Bundgard, Don Barrett, and Don Wilbrandt who played on the Hebron team when it went down state.

Dick Tazewell Meeting
Under the direction of Richard L Tazewell, McHenry County Superintendent of Schools, a meet¬ ing was held at the Court House Annex to discuss the schools' role in the event of a nuclear attack.
All public and private schools were invited. Several local vidl de¬ fense leaders were present.
Mr. Alvin Querhammer, Direc¬ tor of the McHenry Clounty Office of Civil Defense and Mr. Anton Perne, Coordinator of Civil De¬ fense Adult Education in tHfe Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, addressed the group.
Mr. Querhammer explained what has been done in the county concerning civil defense and asked for a committee of five or seven school people to work with other agencies in the county to set up a county-wide disaster plan in case of a nuclear attack.
Mr Perne discussed the func¬ tion of the school in case of at¬ tack. Ho stated that the school board has an obligation to partici¬ pate in tho disaster program in three ways:
1. By instituting or strengthen¬ ing the Pupil Safety Program This program makes buildings and grounds as safe as possible against disaster and sets up procedures to enable students to survive disas¬ ters.
2. By developing a Disaster Pro¬ tection Education Program. This long-range program looks to work ing with the schools to provide a good understanding of civics, com¬ munication, mathematics, history, and other related fields with the feeling that students well-versed in these fields will become adults possessing not only these skills as such, but also the insight and un¬ derstanding that will be needed in working together  for survival.
3 By supporting in other ways the Local Disaster Protection Pro¬ gram. The schools can make their facilities available for adult class¬ es, or for shelter or other uses.
Mr. Perne stated his staff was very small, buat that he hoped to have a civil defense class started in the county some time in April. Certified teachers attending these would bo qualified instructors to teach adult civil defense classes.
A quesstion period followed Mr. Perne's talk. Then the fi'm "Civil Defense" was shown. The film committee of McHenrv Coiftv de¬ cided to purchanse this fflm fbr the film library to make it availa¬ ble to all schools and other inter¬ ested groups
