HOME-FOR AWHILE Major Earl Sonnemaker will return from Thailand sometime in November, then after a 30 day leave he and his family will go to England for ap­ proximately 4 to 5 years. So wife Mary (Hogan) decided rather than changing the kids in school twice she would come visit Mom and Dad and send the kids to school in Johnsburg and McHenry until Earl returns. This gives Mary a chance to visit and see old friends and spend some time with her family since they will be gone from the country for a long period of time after Earl's reassignment. SUNDAYSCHOOL Last Sunday was the first Sunday for church school. Terrie Grupe was very pleased with the turn out of some 30 children. This is for children of 3 years through sixth grades. If you or your child missed last Sunday do come this Sunday. We are sure you will find it very rewarding.

(From the District 15 Ad- m i n i s t r a t i v e d e s k ) On foot, astride bicycles, in the family car and aboard school buses, approximately 3,000 District 15 boys and girls trooped off to their school building last week for the start of the 1972-73 school year. What they found for the most part was a vast change from last spring. A kaleidoscope of bright colors on the walls; an occasional carpet, and some open areas - where once had been walls - gave a vibrant look to what formerly had been traditional classrooms. The changes were effected to give flexibility to new team teaching procedures. In an address to teachers on the day before schools opening, Dr. Robert W. Boos, superin­ tendent, outlined goals for the year and explained the district's new themes "Positive C o m m u n i c a t i o n a n d Humanizing Education." "These themes", he said, "recognizes each child as an individual, a person - one who has the ability to think, reason, react, shares his likes and dislikes, learn, be happy, be sad - and be as successful as he possibly can." "I believe District 15 is now yeasting and viable," he said. "The staff is on the move creating its own design - solid professional people are thrusting against the status quo." Dr. Boos stated, "As we consider our annual goals we must think of children. Clearly our young people must be accustomed to the process of change. As adults we cannot equip them with sure knowledge of what the changes will be, but we must endow them well if we are to fit them for truly intelligent ex­ pectation of change. "the satisfying fruits of hard work, the truths of brotherhood, the enduring commitment to the dignity and worth of all humans, a knowledge of history, and a sense of communication and intimacy with the people of the world and their ways must be clear and present goals of our schools. These are the subtle overtones and shadows we call values, and they put the flesh on the bones of basic skills." The superintendent also said, " I ask you to consider your personal goals as you make your annual over-the-horizon peek. This reflection must in some measure be directed to not only the greater pace of change in the world alluded to earlier, but also you need to develop greater efficiency in the way our young people learn. This is an urgency because education is a bridge between man and his work; it is a bridge between the present and the future; and it is a bridge bet­ ween what we are and what we may become." His final words were about the community. "Occasionally some of us claim the layman sometimes hamper the ad­ vance of our schools, but we must also recognize that layman built and paid for them. Considering the sacrifice that citizens who are not educators have made and continue to make on the behalf of our schools, it seems to me ac­ curate to think of them as amateurs - in the best sense of that word - rather than laymen. For though both words connote a lack of professional qualification, the word "amateur" in addition, . PAGE 5-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1972 signifies one who does what he does for the love of it, not for financial gain." "Many of us are professional at education, but we are amateurs, or at least layman, in everything else. Let us seek to make the spirit of the amateur our own, for certainly the highest motivation for spending one's life in teaching is to doit for the love of it." Dr. Boos' final charge to the staff was "All I can ask of each of you is to do what you can this year to make the lives of your boys and girls as profitable, as successful, as happy and as positive as you possibly know how."
