PG. 14, - PLAlNDEALEft - DECEMBER 13, 1967 CONSTRUCTION OF NEW HIGH SCHOOL EXPLAINED The new McHenry high school was described this week as "a school that the community can be proud of. The building will be an excellent school, both in the stamfeoint of the structure and in the programs that are being instituted in it." The structure itself is of reinforced concrete construction, with a twenty-six foot by twentysix foot module, or spacing between pillars, throughout the school, with the exception of open spaces such as gymnasium, auditorium or library space. The building is constructed in such a manner that in the future it can be expanded upward as well as outward; provisions are made in,, the planning for a fourth floor. The temperature control units for the building are of adequate size to handle any expansion in the future. One of the primary features of the building is its library. The library is the core of the building, with a ring of classrooms surrounding it on the two upper floors. These classrooms open into the library and library materials will be dispersed so that books dealing with science will be near the science rooms, those dealing with English will be near the English rooms, etc. The school is also being planned for use as a community center. Hie swimming pool will be one of the centers of activity; with various programs for the community offered and the pool being used as much as possible. An expanded community education and recreation program will keep the building in almost constant use. The school is said to be by no means a lavish or extravagant building. The construction cost for the building will amount to $16 a square foot, which is $1 per square foot lower than present school building costs. This price includes carpeting, used as an acoustical agent in the rooms as well as beigg cheaper to maintain than tile flooring, and air conditioning that will enable the community to use the building twelve iponths of the year. The building is of simple style, with no complicated, or expensive contruction features, but still is one of simple beauty and dignity. To complete the building, to bring it to readiness for the fall of next year, the bond issue facing the public must be accepted. This issue will equip the building and will make it complete as the school-community center it was planned to be.

NUN EXPRESSES FAVORABLE VIEW ON SCHOOL PLAN "The students feel they're giving something to the program and feel the program is giving something to them. The parents have been pleased; there have been no negative comments at all. We're most grateful to the public schools." So said Sister Mary Paulina about the newly instituted shared time program in the Junior high school. Fifty-nine seventh graders come to the Junior high schoolfrom St. Patrick's parochial school every afternoon to be instructed in French, mathematics, science, chorus, arts and crafts and physical education. Each student has four classes in the- Junior high, sharing them with the regular students. This program was instituted when the school administration of St. Patrick's school found that, because of the number of students in the school, it could not adequately provide for classes in science, foreign language, arts, and physical education. Following plans that Good Lawns / have been carried out in other area schools, the school asked the public school administration for consideration of a shared time program, which they accepted. This year is the first year of the program, with ex- TRIPLE.CROWN The state of Illinois earned the nation's "triple crown" for overseas sales during 1966. Gov. Otto Kerner reported that Illinois' exports of manufactured products totaled almost $1.9 billion last year, the largest volume of exports in this category by any state. For the last several years, Illinois has been the nation's undisputed leader in the yearly volume of agricultural exportts, which reached $666 million in fiscal 1966. The state was also first ^in total exports, having virtual tie for se< "In manufactttrecL^roducts abroad on the basis of the Bureau of the Census 1963 figures.

In reference to shared time James Spencer, Junior high school principal, said, "I think if s a very fine program. But right now we're at our peak; we're out of space, and 1*11 have about 150 new students next year. I don't know what we're going to do." The shared time program, as well as a population explosion «Jn the school district, has caused overcrowding, and school officials say the problem will become a crisis if not handled soon. The solution being considered by the board is the construction of a middle school that will handle grades 5 through 8 in one building. This building will cost $2.0 million, but, if it is accepted by the public through the referendum on Dec. 16, it will be completed in time to alleviate the overcrowded conditions in the elementary buildings for a period of three to five years.
