vloat Parade Deemed Success
"-At 2.30p.m. on Friday, October 5, a float parade took place in Huntley. This is the first of its kind in the history of home com¬ ing activities for the town. A total of 27 floats wore entered in the parade.
The winning float or first prize went to Enos Conley and Sons. 'i he Conleys' float was made with chicken wire stuffed with white paper napkins making a beautiful effect. There was a large plywood football in the center of the float which had the words "Kick Off Victory" written on it. At the rear of the float Conleys had a gold hatchet with the word "Go" painted on in red. The napkins were outlined with red, Huntley's color, to give the float a rosey effect. Conley spent eleven hours preparing this float for the pa¬ rade. All of the Conleys, Delmont, Anita, and Tom Jr.; Mrs. Oben- hauf; Mary Obenhauf; Carol Re mus; Duke Manning; Charles Olson; and many others worked on this float preparing it for the parade.
The second prize in the float contest was given to the Huntley FT'A Chapter who had a plow mounted on a hay rack with real turf and a sign which read, "Plough Them  Under."
The third prize was given to the freshman class at Huntley High School. The freshman float had a large hatchet mounted on the middle of a football field with the words "Skelp 'Em" written on it. The judges felt that there was considerable work done on this float.
Honorable mention was also giv¬ en to 8-A, the GAA, and H Club floats.
The judges for the float contest were Mayor Wilpault Brill; Mr. Quin O'Brien, Editor of the Huntley Farmside; and Mrs. Mary Cole, past president of the PTA. Mr. Don Barrett with the help of Mr. Tom Kelly, superintendent of Huntley's schools, supervised the entire parade.
