We ask, too, that one individual not write on the same sjubj^t more than once each Month. We reserve the light to delete ' jjpiy material which we jectionable [taste.) consider libelous or in ob- Post-Pr^m Defense "To the Putfic: "In recent weeks there has been much controversy over the proposed plans for the after-prom psjrty to be held for the junior aid senior classes of the McHQiry high school. T©s prom party was originally planned to lappily keep our 'teen-agers from straying so far from honle on prom night. In order to 3c this, the kids were told that a local civic organization wquld sponsor the dinner and entertainment after the dance. In order that they could feel the party was truly their ovn, the planning and choice of location was left tt£the boys and girls, subject to the approval and guidance of interested adultl ' "In ihe meantime, McHenry has grown by teapi and bounds, and the size of tjke classes in our local schools Has kept pace. Because of this, McHenry proper has :io place of its own that can Accommodate this large group. Three yelrs ago it was necessary to n»ve the party location rat too distant from the city j/mits. The boys and girls did rpt feel that the a c c o m m o d a t i o n s were such that they ca/ed to continue there this yetr, so a new spot was chosen by the class officers, elected to represent the senior class, This choice carried them a little further from home, once again with the ap- PIQval of adults. They made tlflfcr <leciiion, with counseling, and yet f»r this they have been criticized, censored and reprimanded. Their counselors have met witfi the same situation. These jpungsters were asked not only why they wanted to go to i new location, but why they diflr/t want to return to last year's. When they stated their reasons,, which sounded v^ff^fcwscjtose they 1l€V wert told they were very foolish -4 the argument being that thej must remain closer to home regardless. Yet after the recent mid-winter dance our sons and daughters, wilh parental permission, were allowed tik patronize spots even further] it distance from the local sanfe. "Our{ school's very aim is to trach dor children to think for tUmseives and to discern. This is/ attempted daily. These boys aqd girls cannot be told today tha( they can't make their own decisions because they lack apod judgement, and tomorrow iold that they must make theiniall. Our entire future 1S"MI toeir hands. "I'm ; surd'all of us would like toj kee$ our children tied totfjur bprontettings and I must a«mt that J, too, wish they would 'stay jSlose to home fot their party. However, if locally we cannot satisfactorily take care of them, then, we must abide by their carefully deliberated decision. If the privilege of maKing this decision is not to be accorded them, then let's set it up differently for the future, not after their plans, months in the making, have been completed. "These^are- youngsters to be admired/ to be encouraged, and I, do not believe they will disappoint us. A campaign has already stavted among them to keep May 20 a safe night in order to keep faith with the organization and adults who kept faith with them. These are fine young men and women to whom we must look for our tomorrow. Are we to let them down today? "Mrs. T. E. Evans, Jr." Page Thtm "Gentlemen: "I believe your editorial ot March 2 concerning the post prom party was very unfair. "Your statement that the post prom parties in McHenry began oecause parents couldn't say no to an all-night affair is a bit hasty. I'm sure any parent who really felt strongly on the subject wouldn't hesitate to say no. Actually, the carefully organized After-Glo was designed to keep all the kids in one place, near the town. Many couples have to leave the party after the entertainment and be in before dawn. "The 'teenagers at McHenry high school would rather stay near the town if the space were available. The senior class investigated all the restaurants in the area and finally decided upon one with adequate space and facilities to handle such a large crowd. Preparations were well under way when objections were raised to the place chosen. To ascertain the actual size of the objecting body, letters were sent to all parents asking them to vote "yes" or "no" for an out-oftown restaurant. The vote you recorded in your editorial was correct. "Because of the overwhelming majority who voted "yes", the students felt the plans shouldn't be changed for such a small minority. Anyone who objects to the After-Glow at any location certainly has the right to sound that firm "no" you urged in your editorial. "The picnic the day after the prom is an unofficial, unorganized, and extra part of the prom festivities. Many of the students are not allowed to participate in this activity; here, obviously, the parents say "no" when they object. 'The site the seniors chose for the After-Glo was the closest establishment which offered the facilities they needed, i.e. privacy, a closed bar, good hot food, prompt service, and plenty of room for the dancing and entertainment. It there were a large enough place nearer McHenry offering these facilities the students certainly would rather stay in the immediate area. "Yours very truly, "Florence M. Noonan" HERE AND THE] IN BUSINESS NAMED TO COMMITTEE J. J. Neuharth, executive vice-president of the McHenry Savings anc1 Loan Association of McHenry, has been appointed to the 1961 committee on management of Capital Stock Type Associations of the United States Savings and Loan League.

ATTENDS CONVENTION Mrs. Gertrude Justen attended the hairdressers' convention in Chicago Monday. PROJECT NEEDS ASSISTANCE The Sisters of St. Francis in McHenry are asking friends for any old gold or silver articles which may be beyond repair for the owner but which will be of value in raising money to help the Motherhouse in Milwaukee meet the expense of building a convent for the Sisters. Old spoons, bracelets, chains, vases and many other items are among those mentioned. PLEDGES SORORITY Judith E.
