Congratulations Jr.  High 1    Volleyball Team
We knew you could do itl Yes, it happened! On April SOth, 1988, the Huntley Jr. High girls (6th grade and 7th/8th grade) won the 1988 Tri-County Volleyball Conference Tournament championship titles.
The day was a long one, filled with mixed emotions - of which, tension was high on the list. But no matter how tense things got or how tough the competition was, our girls handled it just fine.
Everyone wishes to extend congratulations and a special thank-you to Mr. Awrey and Miss Marsh, who coached these girls onto victory!
GREAT JOB, GIRLS - WE'RE PROUD OF YOU ALL!

Cub Scouts Visit  Outlook Envelope
By: Jeffrey Essig
On Wednesday, April 27, Den 3 visited the Outlook Envelope Co. in Huntley. We got a tour of the plant area and the offices.
In the plant we saw lots of big machines. We saw machines that cut and print envelopes. They make many different kinds of envelopes. They are all sizes and colors and some have windows in them. Some machines can make about 1,000 envelope a minute, and others make about 350 envelopes a minute. The older machines take 3 or 4 hours to set up, but the new ones take 8 hours to set up.
We watched a man named George cut envelopes. He put a very sharp steel die on top of a stack of paper. He pushed it into a machine that pushed the die into the paper and cut many envelopes to just the right size. It was fun to watch.
In the offices, we saw lots of computers. We got lots of envelope samples. Thank you for an interesting time.
