SCHOOL R ' ORKAT PEOOUC8S HOTKD niMCKHTYXAlLS With the McHenry Community High oehoo* It It* twenty-third year, we , * ,,'lironder how many of out readers ret the struggle necessary to make *-jk the modern institution it is today. jg"v ' First, let our minds carry at bpefe In reminiscence to the year 18t2, fog, ; 7 was the eariie«t that we have any Jrecord of high school graduates In ' ^KcHenry. Among those reephdng: ^ -diplomas that year were Jod Wheeler jt |ind Loretta Walsh, both of whom are ' ."^residing today in West Mchenry. - Until 1919 the high school district \/» ^Included only the city of MeBwy |iras supported by Um present grade i. iiraschool district. Impelled by a few ding citizens, an election was held Sept. 20, 1919, for the purpoeeo* orming a new high school dlsrtict a vote of S12 to 87, fsvoring the posal, the boundaries of the diswere chaagpd. The new district *Sndnded all of McHenry township with £.£,v|khe exception of a half-mile strip % find one-half miles along the north-* ^ • "barest side. It also included a two-mile | 'atrip of Nunda township, with the ex* iseption of four square miles lying fast south of Lily Lake. ^ A year ago the Wonder Lake dis-^ trict was added by petition and tho ^ present district includes sixty «Jf.V _ tniles. . Board Election in 1910 The first school dhwtion following Jon the enlargement of the school dis* |jf~;~|"-&rict was on Dec. 20. 1910. Five hun- •» \ Ured and two votes were cast and resulted in the election of the following v .- .t>oard: Thomas A. Bolger, president; ij ;• Joseph W. Freund, John M. Schmitt, •, Charles W. Ha*ri son and D. G. Wells; O. G. TreatMvay, who was superin-. *5«1 - tendent at the time, acted as secretary v^until April, when Jos. W. Freund wasi' fleeted to the office. Mr. Freund isti -^the only member who has served con- -stinuously from the time it became a ^ 'Community High school and even to-*, „ i\; *iay he is one ofthe most active mem- Kr^t'ers on the present board. " • First Graduates 1929 £* • " ~ With the %nla*ipement of the high '1. -ifeehool district the school boasted I iimety students of which thirteen were J.- to become the first graduates of the '^(Community High school. These 1920 .tes included George Barbiaa,' iam Brunswick, Genevieve Carey, Jennie Mae Cooley. Frank Dohertyr planch e .Myers, Clarence Niesen, Harvey Nye, Rosemary Nye, Kathleen •(O'Reilly, Mary Smith, Elsie Vycttat tend Robert Weber. Little did these liinety students, or their teachers "Either, dream that before seventaaB ire had passed 230 pupils would be »• town of k ...

Four teachers were responsible for p . ^^tmaking graduation possible for these ^ fceniors in this memorable year. They :< - were Miss Blanche D. Pryor, Miss ,3Dora C. Kenny, Miss Monroe and O. G. Tread way. With the growth of the school and the offering of addicourses the staff of teachers has necessarily grown accordingly until May there are thirteen. New Schaai Built ia t*H Until the erection of the new Mgh pchoo) in 1924 the grade and high ool classes were held in the same ng. In 1920 and 1921, the gymjnasium of the present grade aches! •-was used as an assembly hall for high school students. In 1992 a portable •^•fjpmmnex, which UgUldsd two classrooms a bleary, was tWit! to the •-^>gsiie of the This was f«" yesirs fcttlr to the t ; Grayslake andnsod as a pi jv * asveral years. The annex still stands in that city Just north of high* 120. Float fUMN Snip In the previqpn.yvar et Ittl it be* jeatne the hope ef many dtteena thiA | .' v McHtnry would have a new and mod- || : ' *rn school building, and in a special ||! * jdection in December of that year [A . their dream became a reality. The i • wiajority of 1,019 voters who went to * ' the polls voted in favor of issuing ^125,000, five per cent bonds for,the c " ietection of a new school. These bonds --were to run over a period of twenty Sps1 years. Recently the board of educa- " tion paid the last of these 90-year fl'V Jbonds. The only bond indebtedness yf^/Jtsday is 99,000 worth of refunded ^-^bsnds, incurred in 1932. It was not until 1923 that the bonds jib-^^were sold, and in that year erection of <oar present high school began. The ^ building was not completed by Sepi^>: v|tember 1, 1924, so the Opening of * -jnehool was postponed for two weeks. then it was neeessary to enter -|he building on artificial steps, and for many months the students were ampered in sudying because of the ise made by workmen finishing the ng. Many Added Coaraes In 1919 the choice of courses was .^^jwmewhat limited in view of those differed today. Available were English, algebra, Latin, general science, chem. iistry Renography, physics, nlane jpeometry, history, loologv and botany French and bookeeping. Even most of these were taught with a' minimum of equipment and can hardly be comaared with the same courses offered today. For e-Tsmnle, the typing class struggled noblv for several year* to keep their six typewriter* ta gsad N. pair for the entire class. 1AGAL SCENE --19 YKAB8 AGO AMD TODAY! or FMSSEHT HIGH • v - McHENSV COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL TODAY rboto br Wwwtc^ SUPERINTENDENT C. & DUU5B AT HIB DESK lite first addition to the regular courses occurred in 1921 when Miss Cleora Johnson was hired to teach domestic science in what is now the grade school library. It wasn't until 1923, when W. N. Sears came to McHenry, that any kind of instrumental music program was formed. For thirteen years he instructed in private lessons and directed both band and orchestra. In 1987 Paul Yanda took over the music program and became the first fulltime music instructor. Class lessons on all instruments are new offered the students of the three schools free of charge. McHenry's orchestra, as well as some individual players, have made a name for themselves throughout the years. In 1931 the orchestra won the state contest for Class C and ranked well in the national contest at Cleveland, Ohio. Last year the band won a dhriaion^at the state contest Three instrumental soloists won first in the stats, also, a year ago and one of then rated first in the regional. In 19fl and 19M two of our music students wore selected to play in the allstate orchestra in'Springfield. Health BnpsrvUisa In 1926 the first program of health supervision was instituted in the aehOol. With the exception of the first five months, Mrs. Rulien has been in charge of carrying out the progran* these many years. Soon after she was here a nursing course was started in the high school. With most of the larger, schools instituting trade courses, McHenry followed suit in 1939 when Elmer Baum was hired"as the teacher. Need, less to say. the course attracted many boys to whom the training will always be of value. Most recent addition to our list of courses is that of agriculture, which was begun this year. Ralph Primm is making a most successful beginning with a total of thirty-one students. The physical education course has made great strides in recent years, too, and it is now a four-year requirement for every student. There is inter-school competition for boys and girls and seven sports and intermural comoetition in twelve. Consequently, where not so long ago we found only those with unusual natural ability participating, today we rarely see a student who has not developed a certain proficiency in some sport in which his interest has been developed. Maay Improvements Noted Throughout the years many improvements have been made in the building itself- and new land has been added to the original purchase. Originally the school erounds took in only the land upon which the school stands and the football field. A few years later the board purchased all the lots along the north side of the building and two years ago bought the Vasey property. Without doubt our school has the most ideal location of any in the county. Proof of this lies in the unbelievable success of the summei playground project, which is under the supervision of Leonard McCracken. This project, made possible by the combined support of the city, grade and high school boards, was begun in 1938. Other cities have tried similarly to provide athletic entertainment during the summer, but, principally due to the location of their tennis courts, softball field and high school athletic material, the program has never achieved the popularity it has here. With the added courses, much room is being utilized today which heretofore was unused. On the second floor there are seven class rooms in use, where there were formally only three. In the beginning only the gymnasium was used In the basement Several years ago a BMdsrn, aonad-proof band room was built on the lower floor and within the last two years one room has been put to use by the trades class. In 1936 the school was completely redecorated and within the last five yeart n new shower room has I been installed for the boys. j The three cement-tennis courts, one I of which was a 1941 addition, are the best hereabouts. TWy have proved i their woijh by each year bringing j more expert players to our McHenry j tournaments. j* In the same year that the first con. : crete courts were laid a new driveway i and cement wall were built south of ' the school. The large driveway is used as a parking lot for those who' | drive to school. | Financed by the proceeds from both { high school and alumnae athletic programs, new lights were purchased for the football field a year aeo. In addii tion to their use for night football, j they have been used for softball gamea throughout the summer. Bus System Installed With the newly installed bus system we come to the end of the school's many indications of progress. The addition of the Wonder Lake district provided sufficient additional taxes so that the hoard of education instituted a "ew bus system. Last year two drivers were hired to transport all rural students to and from school, and the program, even in its first year, proved! so successful that it will donHtless continue indefinitely. In terms of history, evep of a small citv. seventeen years is a short time. C. H. Duker. who came to McHenry in 1922, through his untiring efforts to imorove our school, has been respons. U>*e probably more than anv other person for keeping it among the leading ones in northern Illinois. Nineteen years of teaching and guiding young folks is in no way a smalF joou Anyone Who has accomplished this with the success Mr. Duker has must be commended highly. He, as well af; those other citizens who were response ible for the growth of this raodent institution, may well be proud of thei# achievement.

"The Newspaper Lights the Way to Freedom," is the slogan of the week. It has the enthusiastic indorsement not only of the publishers, but of educators and business, professional and political leaders who regard a free press as the most important fac. tor in protecting the people from autocratic rule such as exists in nearly all of Europe. Approve Observance President Roosevelt and Governor Dwight H. Green of Illinois issued statements Wednesday approving the observance and expressing allegiance to a full measure of freedom of expression. "The recurrence of National News, paper week should awaken in the hearts and souls of all Americans a renewed determination to defend and maintain and perpetuate the priceless heritage of a free press," said the President. "The maintenace of an unfettered press, informed by truth and guided by courage and conscience and wholehearted devotion to the public welfare, is a fundamental obligation of patriotism. "I trust as a result of the forthcoming observance that Americans everywhere will have a renewed sense of the incalculable blessing which a free press confers. It must be maintained against all assaults." "Freedom of Speech. Vital,** Green Gov. Green said that there was never a time when freedom of speech was so vital a force in determining public opinion. He added that without the twin freedoms of speech and press Americans would be "on the road which has led to the collapse of many European nations.'* "When we strangle or seek to curtail one or the other, we permit the first step toward totalitarianism," the governor added. "To the newspapers of America, and particularly to the press of Illinois, I want to extend my hope that they will never lower their reportorial application, and that they shall ever remain free--a freedom we need in America if we are to remain St. Paul, Minn.

" COST OF JOHN 0,*$ 1 - PASTIMES RAISED BY 140 MILUOBr- 'fesis?-; OCTOBER 1st TAX EFFECTS U.S.FUN SCHOOL DIRECTORS VOTE 118 TO 61 IN FAVOR OF A COUNTY SCHOOL SURVEY McHenry county school directors voted Monday night to make a county school survey to determine advisability of consolidation in certain areas. The vote in which members of boards of educaton and directors of all rural schools were entitled to cast a ballot, resulted in 118 votes for the survey and sixty-one against it Mrs. Ethel C. Coe, county superintendent of schools, said the five-member board to make the survey would be named on Oct 11 when three persons would be selected by the rural directors and two by the boards of education of the city schools. This survey committee will make recommendations at the completion of the work and on these findings future ac. tion in the matter of consolidation will be based. Throughout the rural area of the county, meetings have been held to explain the purpose of the survey and to acquaint the boards with the purpose of the state in sponsoring such a fnct-finding movement. On Sept. 22. the McHenry school and rural boards held a meeting in the 'ocal high school and discussed the matter. Bagftnaing yesterday, when the J.'t*.^ tax act became law, the A«erica»fo$2fi public started paying what wi!l^«>",^ amount to an additional 1140,000,000;" 1 a year for entertainment. 1 "J This act imposes new and increased*' taxes on admissions to theaters and? all other places of amusement; on^ ^ bowling alley, billiard and pool tables, • and playing cards; on cabaret and roof* • garden checks; on pinball games, slot- .*||j machines and on club dues. Alcoholic^ beverages were already taxed $820,-!- 000,000 and additional taxes will in-^- '*'11 crease the total of these collections to more than a billion dollars in the* • '-*« next year. Estimating conservatively the gov>- ernment will collect well over two billion dollars next year in taxes upon purchases considered by a good percentage of the people to be necessary for enjoyment during their leisured time. - The new tax on admissions will pro-« duce an additional $105 OOOjOOO annu-' ally, according to treasury estimates.Cj .The act imposes a tax of one cent for each ten cents or fraction therof paid * for admission to any place, including ^ admission by seaso.i ticket or sub-' scription. Exemption Lowered The only exemption provides that; no tax'shall be imposed on the amount paid for the admission of a child under : twelve years of age if the amount paid * is less than ten cents. It is believed, however, that most theaters will not be able to operate, profitably, on a nine-cent admission fee. Consequent-! ly. the tax levy will effect all theatergoers, children as well as adults. The additional taxes on admissions'Jf to theaters will not be incurred be- § cause of any raise in the tax rate for }: this will be the same as formerly. ;# Rather, it can be accounted for be- f cause the former exemption for ad- f; missions has been lowered. I Even with the exemption effective^ before Oct. 1. the tax was producing^ more than $175,000,000 annually. smaller exemption is expected to raised the total to at least $280,000,000. The cabaret tax is. in effect, a new tax, taking the place of the present ; two cent tax on every ten cents, which| ® applied only to the admission or cover ; ' charge of such places of amusement fc fW' Moreover, all admissions or cover® ^ charges of less than $2.50 were eK-|f; empted from the tax and the colleo-| tions were small. The new tax imposes si levy of fivte|! :j per cent on all amounts paid in cab-fc arets and night clubs whether fori* ^ admission, refreshment, service, liquor! urT or food. Two million dollars is expect-^ ; ed to be raised by this tax annually. The initiation and c'ub dues will addl '^ift an additional $2,800,000 to the treas-| * ury and as the temporary rate of|' ^'.:Jj eleven per cent was made permanent^ ^ and the former exemption of twenty-| five dollars has been lowered to ten., Gambling Devices Effected * A new tax is also carried in the act^ on coin operated amusement and! gambling devices. In the case of pin- > ball machines, which do not "pay off.";, a fee of ten dollars must be paid by) any person who maintains for use, or permits the use of such a device on his premises. Anyone who operates; ' slot machines," which return cash.s ^ premiums or merchandise, must pay%4 ;cf" f fifty dollars annually. These fees are| made oa each machjqe on the prem- , -| ises. . MAnother new tax, which, althoughk. » _ •'•'to n o t l i s t e d u n d e r a m u s e m e n t , w i l l p r o v e p ' v ' i f f a hardship on millions of people, ia| the five per cent levy placed upon alll^-; charges for transportation by rail-L road, bus, boat or airplane exceeding!" - - hirty-five cents.

It • also exempts amounts paid for com mutation tickets for one month or less. With most outdoor activities con eluded with the coming of cold-r weather the question of amusements, it seems, must be settled in one of two ways.
