PAGE 3-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1973 Anthony Casalino, Woodstock, as Cass, Lillian Allen, Antioch, as Dorothy, and Susan Lang, Woodstock, as Ellen, in a scene from "Any Wednesday" a presentation of the McHenry Dinner theatre. The play continues Feb. 23, 24 and 25 at the McHenry Country club. High School Senior Is Night Audience Fu// Time College Man When a middle aged "eagle" in the business world is sud­ denly confronted by com­ petition from a personable but penniless youth, the outcome would seem obvious. But the contest isn't over the best bet on the stock market. It's for the favor of an at­ tractive but unpredictable and immature former school teacher who greets her thirtieth birthday with occasional moments of hysteria. The "eagle", whose No. 1 worry is keeping everything tax deductible, also has a problem in dividing his week (except Wednesday) between his business world and his wife. Wednesday -- any Wednesday he can spare - is for Ellen. The plot is uncomplicated and the comedy is not slapstick. Rather, it is a thoroughly en­ joyable two hours of continuous humor. A superb cast, with special mention for the pleasant but sometimes self- effacing wife, made the simple story line believable and en­ deared themselves to an ap­ preciative audience. A.F. Auxiliary Notes From V.F.W. By Gerry Kuck The Ladies auxiliary to VFW Post 4600 heard a report by the National Home chairman, Vi Schuble, that we had given a donation recently to the Scholarship fund and Health and Happiness fund at the National home in Eaton Rapids, Mich. The auxiliary's deepest sympathy is extended to Iva Maxwell on the recent loss of her husband. A note was received from her following the serving of a luncheon the day of his funeral. Downey Veterans hospital chairman, Mary Kuemmel, read a letter from the recreational therapist there, expressing his appreciation for the members of the post and auxiliary entertaining the patients at the hospital. Mary reported that one auxiliary member and three post members had accompanied her on her regular monthly visit to the hospital in January. Drug abuse chairman, Barbara Bryniarski, reported on a drug abuse program that she had attended at one of the schools. Two young people from Gateway house spoke on their personal experiences with drugs. She also stated that Gateway house holds an open house on Saturday evenings from 8 to 12 p.m. and en­ couraged the members to visit there. A card party is being planned for some time in the spring and Gerry Kuck has volunteered to be chairman for the event. Full details and names of the committee will be announced at a later date. When Kevin McFarlin leaves for school in the morning, he is a high school student. When he comes home in the afternoon, he is a college student. Somewhere in the middle of the day, Kevin is transformed from a senior at Harvard high school to a student at McHenry County college. Kevin, 17, is the son of Mrs. Cherie McFarlin and the late Lester Eugene "Butch" Mc­ Farlin. While the college has several students frrom area, high^ schools attending classes, Kevin is the only I high school student who is full-time. To participate in the college classes, Kevin had to receive the permission of his high school principal. Kevin took one class at the college during the summer between his junior and senior years. During the following semester, he took classes only < at the high school. Currently he is taking four classes at MCC and one at Harvard high school. "I like the relaxed at­ mosphere at MCC. It seems easier to learn without the tension that exists in the high school. Of course, I'm paying $150 this semester to attend classes at the college -- that can make a big difference," said Kevin. "Before I attended MCC, I heard that the teachers were really good - and I have to Legislative chairman, Jane Delke, urged the members to write to their Congressmen and Senators to approve HR10880, a veterans' medical care bill, and HR 12828, a GI rate increase bill, in the report she gave at the meeting. agree," he commented. "They really make you want to learn." Kevin describes himself as a "little above average" student. Last semester, he worked 30 hours per week while attending high school. "I felt that if I could just pass all my classes that I was doing all right," he commented. "I didn't set any school records, but I did pass all my courses. Kevin "is not working this Semester - he feels that it is time to settle down to the business of being a student. He still manages to participate in extra-curricular activities at the high school. He is president of the Safety club and a member of the newspaper staff. His high school mass media instructor, Joe Grimm, says that Kevin is an ambitious student, a good writer, and an aggressive ad salesman for the 1 school newspaper. Kevin claims to be a car­ toonist, although none of his work has made it into the newspaper because of a lack of space.

His ultimate goal is to become an oceanographer, a goal which requires graduate work.

Valley View Meets Valley View An interesting language arts project at Valley View school originated from an article in the January issue of The Teacher. Miss Clark noticed that a school named Valley View was featured. She called attention to this, and her third grade class thought it would be a surprise for the children of Valley View, Conn., to receive a letter from Valley View, 111. Each child wrote his own letter, and then interesting bits from each were compiled into one long letter copied by the two students voted to be the scribes because of their good penmanship. Soon a postcard was received from Mrs. Mary Riordan, teacher of a third grade group which had been pictured in The Teacher. She expressed their surprise and delight at receiving the letter and promised an ea$y reply. A few days later, the^following letter was received: "Dear Third Grade, "It was verv nice of you to write us. Thank you. We will answer some of your questions now. Later, we will answer the rest.

Due to the large enrollment in third grade this year, Miss Clark was asked to relieve the regular classroom teachers by teaching language arts to a group of ten children. She also teaches corrective reading and heads the Learning center at Valley View. "Our school was built 19 years ago, in 1954. It is made Of brick and wood. It is one story high. It is in the country, too. We can see the next town across the river. We can see all around. That's why it is called Valley View. "We have a kindergarten and two of each grade 1 through 5. There are eleven regular classrooms. The building has two wings. Kindergarten and grades 1 and 2 are in the Primary wing. This wing also has an art room and a music room. The Intermediate wing has grades 3, 4 and 5. All the classrooms have just been painted. We have an all- purpose room that is used for gym, lunch, play, films, slides and church services. Church services were held here for a few weeks because the regular church was in bad shape. Special programs are held in the all-purpose room, too. There is a large display case outside the all purpose room and each grade gets to use it. The library, nurse's room, teachers' room, and office are in this wing, too. "We have 22 children in our class. Some of them change for language arts like you do. School starts at 9 a.m. and ends at 3:15. What time do you go to school?" The letter was signed by all of the pupils. According to The Teacher, Valley View School lies on a gently sloping hillside of Portland, Conn. Situated at the bend of the Connecticut river along colonial routes, Portland was already a growing set­ tlement by 1690. Last week, the children in Miss Clark's class were busily engaged in making valentines to send to their Valley View counterparts in Connecticut. This project provided an op­ portunity for creative work as each child selected a picture or a cartdon, mounted it, and thought of an appropriate caption. Local Musician With Band At Macomb Cffn/c Western Illinois university's symphonic wind ensemble and the concert band performed Friday and Saturday, Feb. 16- 17, at the fifth annual Western Band clinic at Macomb.
