Turkey Testicle Festival hits Parkside Pub
By Cindi McDonald
Parkside Pub
What's cheaper than a trip to the mall, more fUn than a riverboat, more exciting than a Bears/Packer game, and more satisfying than a fine wine? That's correct.. .it's back forthe 13thyear-Turkey Testicle Festival.
Since 1980, the Turkey Testicle Festival at the Parkside Pub in Huntley, 111. has signaled the beginning of the winter holiday season in town. Thousands gather to cel*rate Thanksgiving and grab their share of the cups of testicles. According to the festival goers, "You aint tried nuthin' 'til you try this."
Again, this year, we're still searching for creative outlandish and edible recipes using turkey
testicles as the key ingredient. The best and most creative will be used in the Official Turk^ Testicle Recipe Book. We need jKople to use their creative minds and "cook up" some great recipes for this holiday season. Ideas and recipes can be faxed to the Parkside any time after Nov. 22. The fax number is (708)669-9069.
For those who are a little squeamish about eating testicles, stop by to pick up some "official" merchandise, which is ideal for a Thanksgiving gift at a family member or friend's house. They are also unique Christmas stocking stuflfers. 13th Annual Collector's Items include hats, sweatshirts, T- shirts, boxer shorts and pins. The 1995 Turkey Testicle Festival will be held Wed., Nov. 22,1995.
Aschenbrenner added three more points, which gave the Huntley "tribe" a comfortable lead of 12-7. Huntley's Dalleska finally ended the match with a powerful block after the Redskins had missed on 6 previous matchpoint situations. Aschen¬ brenner finished with 10 kills, Dalleska added eight and Katie Beth had seven for the Lady Redskins. This first round win sent Shelbyville packing for home and the Redskins were headed to the semi-finals against another powerhouse Stewardson- Strausburg (36-3). Round two of the State Finals was to be a match which featured one of the finest comebacks ever to be staged at

Volunteering at the school: students helping students
By Jessica Frederick, Amee Cash, and Eddie Mallard
Volunteering is popular in the United States, and many high schools and colleges require students to participate in somekind of volunteer service.
Huntley High School encourages students to participate in volunteer service. The high school has over 49 volunteers working in offices or classrooms, doing such things as grading papers, cutting out art projects, making copies, filing, running errands, tutoring students or just helping teachers answer students' questions during a busy day.
Volunteering serves many purposes. It helps teachers and students accomplish more in less time. When volunteers help someone learn a new skill, they becomemore confident anddevelop a betterunderstanding ofthemselves. Volunteering can help students gain useful information
about themselves and possible fiiture careers. The volunteer feels good about themselves because they have helped someone. The student who receives the help also feels good because of the attention and skill improvement.
The sixth grade classes have been helped by volunteer Kris May. She has been helping with computer classes and sixth grade field trips. She answers questions and teaches word processing, data bases,and spreadsheets. She helped with canoeing on the Kishwaukee River and with a golfing trip.
May is a sophomore at Huntley High School and is fifteen years old. The sixth graders really appreciate her time and help.
