Prizes were awarded to all for their untiring efforts. This group consists of school (high school) chums of Amy's and they have a grand time pj$etting together throughout the year. Those present were the Larry Olsens of Cary, who also celebrated their seventeenth anniversary; the Pete Witzmans from Wauconda; the Clare Youngs from Holiday Hills and the Bob Rankins from V/onder Lake. The group were dressed as the Flintstones, complete with club, pebbles, and bones; Jackie Gleason as the bartender; two convicts, with their phone numbers on their suits; a waiter in white coat, complete with towel over arm; a gorgeous leggy maid in short skirt; an old fashioned bathing beauty; a leopard and guitar strumming hill-billy. A very tired group left for home, all agreeing they had a wonderful time, and making plans for their Christmas party. With all the jabbering going on as they left, Amy still isn't sure who's having Christmas this year. Legion Post News At the county ifieeting held in Harvard on Oct. 25 the Robert Vanderstraeten American Legion Post No. 1169 of Wonder Lake had reached a new all time high in its membership. We were very proud of our group and it shows once again that we do have the "growinest" post in the county. Why not become part of this great organization now if you are not already a member? It's Wonder Lake's own post and you can help in its upward climb. For God and Country is why it exists. What finer goal can there be in any organization? Plans for the new venture the post is going to undertake are shaping up very well. Keep your eye on the post news for details. A letter was received from Comrade George Pederson. He says he is getting very good care and hopes to be back home soon. George has been confined to the Veterans hospital at Downey, 111. We wish him the best of luck and hope he will be up and around soon. ary Sisters from Our lady of Sorrows church, also in Chicago. The Sisters arrived by chartered bus and were served coffee and cake at onca. Before and after a dinner of home made lasagna and pizza they thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful Fall day by taking walks, fishing, playing ball and singing. Mr. Indeiicato accompanied them on the guitar and all joined in the songs. Millie Indeiicato was assisted in the food department by her other daughter, Joan Wenkel, Muriel Olesczcuk, Martha Roscino and Theresa Carlson. On Nov. 28 and 29 the Indelicatos will visit their son, Brother Arthur, at Appleton, Wis. M.Y.F.

Kim Street, Reporter Legali Card Party Altar and Rosary Sodality Approximately 100 people enjoyed the card party last Thursday at Christ the King school hall. One of the nice things about these parties is that practically everyone goes home with a prize. Happy Birthday Young Fellow John Tokarski, Sr., of 7216 Hiawatha Drive was 84 years young Oct. 30. I'll just bet he'd be very pleased if everyone reading this would send him a birthday card. May you have many more happy birthdays!

In compliance with the requirements set forth in Section 13-26 of the School Code of Illinois, I have, in cooperation with you as County Superintendent of Schools of McHenry County, Illinois, which includes all of said territory, studied the territory of the proposed district and the area within and adjacent to the same. In addition, I have examined the proposal in order to determine whether the proposed district will be able to provide a recognized school program for the junior college school district under conditions set forth in Section 13-25 through Section 13-33 of the School Code of Illinois. We have examined copies of a community college study, a survey of the conditions in M c H e n r y C o u n t y , I l l i n o i s school districts now operating in said territory, prepared by the McHenry County Community College Association, and completed in September, 1963. It is my opinion that the need for a junior college exists in the territory described, and that the same may be established and maintained at reasonable cost, meeting the probable enrollment and curriculum needs. I consider it possible for the proposed junior college district to operate a recognized junior c o l l e g e p r o g r a m u n d e r t h e conditions found to exist in my study. These conditions are as follows: An enrollment of 300 in the first year of operation increasing to 600 or more in 1966; Maintenance of an equalized assessed valuation of approximately $377,000,000 in 1963, inassessed valuation will produce approximately $339,300 per year for educational purposes and $188,500 per year for building purposes and the purchase of school ground. This will, with an enrollment of 300 students, provide a per capita expenditure for educational purposes of approximately $1131, which is more than adequate at the level of precreasing to a projected estimate of more than $500,000,000 in 1971; tax rates not to exceed .09 per cent upon full, fair cash value for educational purposes and .05 % for building purposes; a continuation of the present or higher level of state aid support for junior college operations and stat u t o r y p e r m i s s i o n t o charge tuition rates not to exceed 331 per cent of per capita costs. In terms of local taxes, the maximum tax rates proposed when applied to 1963 equalized sent costs, when supplemented by revenues from tuition charges and state aid distribution. The alternative methods of providing a desirable two-year junior college program for the area are: 1) to rely on existing educational institutions now serving the area, all of which are both selective and expensive, and provide at present no junior college curricula; and 2) to create junior colleges as additions to existing high school districts in the area. The first of. these alternatives will not improve present conditions which do not furnish adequate junior college opportunity for the post-high school students of the area, and the second alternative, because of unequal distribution of population and serious duplication and fragmentation of curricula would restrict the junior college program provided while increasing costs at the same time. It is my opinion that the proposed junior college school district would enable a board of education to provide a better educational program for all of the children of the area, than the present districts, and that legal growth in geographic area is possible, so as to provide in the future a better than minimum junior college program. From the facts submitted to this office, it is my opinion that the territory involved is compact and contiguous and that the petition and the findings of the County Superintendent of Schools of McHenry County, Illinois, after a hearing thereon, give legal authority for submitting the question of the organization of a junior college school district to the voters of said territory. You are hereby authorized to publish this report in a newspaper of general circulation in the above territory and to call an election according to law for the purpose of voting "For" CM* "Against" the proposition to establish a junior college school district in the territory above described. All of which is respectfully submitted. (Signed by) RAY PAGE Superintendent of Public Instruction State of Illinois Dated this 7th day of October 1963. (Pub.
