''Oldtimers" VS  Pengnin News
Faculty Coming Soon
With the 'Oldtiiners" vs the "Faculty" basketball game only H days away, it was reported last Sunday that the Las Vegas odds are SO to 1 for the faculty.
Coach ¦'Belly" Erath, of the Oldtimers. says his team is in cx^nstant training with various forms of Elbow Bending, Stool Sitting, Rotation Bidding and CONSTANT PRAYER. It seems they are ready for anything.
When last checking, it was noted that the odds were dropping drasticly, even though the faculty has brought in two "Ringers."
As of this writing, we have not heard from the faculty coach, but we hope to get some kind of resume* from him soon.
It is understood that the Oldtimers are taking applica¬ tions and setting up auditions for cheerleaders in the very near future. This reporter didn't quite understand how "Cheer¬ leading Outfits" could possibly look like rubber "Band Uni¬ forms." Jhoh???!

''Keep the Wreath Red'' A Success
The Huntley Fire Protect¬ ion District would like to thank all the residents of the district for "keeping the wreath red" during the holiday season. There were no fires due to Christmas trees, decorations or lights. Even with the extremely cold weather we had over Christmas, Huntley residents used good judgement in keeping their homes and families safe. Now that the holiday season is over, please continue to think FIRE SAFETY just as you did when you kept the wreath red.
THANK YOUI

Letter to Merchants
Dear Merchants,
The Chancel Choir of the Fimt Congregational Church is again giving its' annual Hobo Show and Dinner on Friday, March 2 & Saturday, March 3. We serve a delicious beef stew dinner, then give an hour variety show. This year we will again present three shows because of the incredible demand for tickets! We will be serving approximate^ ly 550 people.
In the past, we have asked our merchants in Huntley if they would be interested in donating any small items such as pencils, key rings, balloons, etc. to make up our "Hobo Bags". Each person attending the dinner show receives one of these "bags" filled with goodies to take home.
This is a wonderful way of advertising for our businesses tn Huntley, especially since a large part of our audience is from other towns.
A member of the choir will be stopping by between February 1 and February 15 to pick up any donations you may have.
Thank you for your contribu¬ tion.
Sincerely, Chance] Choir

As you Hde or walk down the streets in the Village of Huntley, you might have noticed that the scenery has improves somewhat.

Out of High Schooi at an early age, Kris enrolled in Harper College where she received her degree and met both Rick Rossi and Paul Swanson, whom she later married. Sgt. Swanson has been on the Lake in the HUls force for seven years. They live in LTTH just two blocks from the lake, have been married ten years and have two children, Matt, 8 and Lori 7.

Kris and her frunily et^y their summers and any other time they can get away, at their summer home in Tomahawk, Wis where they ate into fishing and boating and enjoying each other's oompany.
Officer Swanson stated that she got into policework because she was not the tsrpe to sK in an office. She wanted something interesting, different and chall¬ enging. Out of Harper at 21, she was too young for the force and got a Job in store security, which she enjoyed for four years, then a promotion, Homemaker fbr the last eight years.
Says Kris, "Now that my children are older, I thought I'd go back to work, and Paul and I have known Chief Roasi fbr 12 years, so here I am. 1 really appreciate Rick fbr giving me this chance." (Incidently, Sgt. Paul Swanson will be standing up for Chief Rossi in his forthcoming wedding.)
