George W. Cina, coordinator of cooperative industrial edu­ cation for the McHenry schools, was present at the Tuesday eve­ ning meeting of the board of ed­ ucation of District 156 to ex­ plain the vocational education program. Members heard a review of the successful undertaking, in­ augurated within the past few years, which permits certain students to attend classes dur­ ing half the day and work the remainder of the time. Mr. Cina was enthusiastic in his appraisal of a program which has placed numerous stu­ dents in a work-study arrange­ ment which has been of mutual benefit to the young people and local employers. The state reimburses the school districts for a portion of the expense of the program and students are paid seventy-five per cent of standard wages. The state has expressed a desire to have 10 per cent of the students involved in this program. Approval was given tothe ex­ penditure of $1,967.55 for shel­ ving, tote trays and cabinets for the art room in East campus, which has no cabinets or coun­ ters. The board decided to make a study on the high cost of the electric bill at West campus, which ran more than $2,000 while the East campus bill was about $800 for the same period of time. The cost of lighting McCrack- en field has necessitated action to increase the rental. Since the actual cost is over $10 per hour, a cost of $40 was set for three hours, with ad­ ditional time pro-rated. Action will be taken to re­ pair wet spots on the field which are believed to be caused by a broken main. The cost of rental for the McHenry Choral club was dis­ cussed but no action taken. The sex education program was announced the same as lafct year, with Principal Richard Swantz in charge of present­ ing the course. The board was advised that there had been no unfavorable comments over the procedure last term. The class presentation will be made to parents first and then to students, on a voluntary bas­ is. There are no grades to be given and no credits. The school enrollment was announced »at 1,780 this fall compared to 1,709 last year and 1,348 in 1966. The present freshman class numbers 510. A visit by state inspectors was anrfounced Oct. 25 for the purpose of receiving recogni­ tion as an approved school sys­ tem; The board agreed to grant permission in special cases for students to graduate earlier than four years. Sixteen cred­ its must be earned and students must have a high rating aca­ demically.

City Acts To Halt Posting Bills, Signs The first order of business Monday night at the McHenry City Council meeting was the passage of an ordinance pro­ hibiting posting bills and signs on utility poles, trees, build­ ings and other places. This fol­ lows similar action by many communities which have looked with disfavor on the practice of posting signs, including poli­ tical advertising, and not re­ moving them after the dates of the events.

Last to die was the owner of the car and a passenger in it, Cynthia Sue Cloonan, 22, of Roselle. She was riding with Gregory J. McDonald of Itas­ ca, who was uninjured. Three other passengers escaped un­ hurt. The accident occurred on Rt. 20, four and a half miles east of Marengo at 1:14 a.m. Wed­ nesday. McDonald, whose story was corroborated by the others, said they were enroute west on the highway when an object either fell from or came off an ap­ proaching semi-truck and struck the Cloonan car. The driver said for a time all he could see was flying glass. A one-car crash on Rt. 173, west of Richmond, took the life of Nicholas A. Monak, 22, of Fontana, Wis., music tea­ cher at the Richmond grade school, Tuesday morning.

Responding to a question con­ cerning her initial reactions to new surroundings, Nena beamed as she volunteered in halting English, "They are^ce people; McHenry is pretty and the homes are-how do you say- picturesque." Nena speaks Spanish at home, but has had some courses in English. She talks with enthu­ siasm about her, new family, adding that "everybody is good to me". One of her ambitions in the months ahead is to learn to speak the language well. She is happy that McHenry is a small city in comparison with the confusion that marks some of the metroplitan areas she has seen. Her school year in Peru ran April through December, which is the winter season, with va­ cation the remaining months and a week's vacation between semesters.
