Secildn Three -- Page Four THE McHEftRY PLAINDEALER Thursday, M*i*ch 101966 * Hiigwood News DELORES BRENNAN 653-9045 COMMUNITY CLUB DISCUSSES) HOT LUNCH PROGRAM The February meeting of the Ringwood community club was called to order by President Georgia Bauer at 8:15, with the pledge to the flag. The secretary's report was given by Lor Brennan. The treasurer's report was then given by Mgrion Winters. Old business; Phyllis Ackerman of the hot lunch pro gram, announced that it was necessary to either raise the price of the hot lunches or to* charge^for potato chips separately. After some discussion, it was decided to keep the prico as is for the sandwiches, and to sell the potato chips separately. There was no profit coming in from the hot lunch program at all, maybe a small loss at the end, unless something would be changed. The upper grade children were asked if they would like to- Jake charge of the selling of the chips. They were very willing. The idea of a record dance for youngsters and pdults was discussed. After much discussion as to a date, April 1 was chosen. (That's not an April Fool joke either!) Since this falls on a Friday, cake, coffee and pop would be sold. No sandwiches. For the March meeting, voting for the school board member will be discussed. It seems as though we have far too many spoiled ballots. A couple members of the board of election will explain the correct way. Also, there will be a speaker on juvenile delinquency as guest speaker. Paul Walkington made a motion to close the meeting, which was seconded by Clayton Bruce. Then the cake walk went into full swing. Gordon Fossum played the piano for the walkers. And many families went home with some luscious looking cakes. Refreshments were served following the cake walk. Much credit goes to those who took the time to bake a cake or two for the walk. There were donations of cakes from some families who don't even have children in school. There were more than twenty cakes in all. Gordon did a wonderful job of playing the piano for us, it was truly appreciated. The evening helped our treasury grow by a little more than r,6. Number.

SCHOOL BOARDS URGED TO ROLE IN LEADERSHIP Assume the leadership role that is your, Ray Page told sohool board of education members at a county - wide meeting last week.

I think there's still some cold type weather coming up first, but it's a good thought. See you next week? school board members become so engrossed in the details of their duties and in their own involvement that "we forget, the product of our work -- the children." "Citizens are evaluating the organization of school districts to determine if schools are meeting the needs of today's youth. More unit districts are being formed and some small unit districts are uniting to form larger unit districts. "Superintendents and board members should take the leadership in working for school reorganization when small school districts cannot possibly provide a quality educational program," he asserted. ' "When we work for the welfare of the children, there cannot be serious objectidns. This leadership to improve education is our chief responsibility as a school administrator or member of the board of education." Page expressed concern over the federal government's potential to dominate education. He said a strong State Department of Education and equally strong local leadership are the main ways to keep ahead of federal influence and prevent its infiltration. Page praised McHenry county leadership in developing many varied new, better educational programs for schools. "Experimental classes on a controlled basis can be initiated in laboratory and private schools and the benefits applied to our public schools," he suggested. Page listed four fundamental challenges that face schools: 1. We need to improve the e d u c a t i o n a l p r o g r a m t o m e e t AWARD $113,300 IN INJURY SUIT FOR '63 CRASH Four persons were awarded a total of $113^00 judgement the individual needs of all students of the district., 2. We need to continue our historic policy of keeping schools close to the people. 3. We must emphasize the teaching of citizenship and the American way of life. 4. We need to develop new and better teaching methods through experimental and exemplary educational programs. Page said a quality program includes students from pre - school through adult -- gifted, s l o w l e a r n e r s , c o l l e g e b o u n d , average, handicapped, "and noncollege bound. 1 He placed special emphasis on. the need to improve the broa',1 areas of vocational education training. last week by a petit jury after hearing evidence over a period of fiv(? days in a 1963 accident wh ich $pro\»*ed fatal to ft McHenry girl, and caused injuries/ to others.
