DISCUSS FUTURE POLICY IN SETTING SCHOOL CREDITS (Continued from page 1) program in the local school system. His survey listed, among strengths of the program, the following pertaining to the students: Greater sense of personal responsibility and independence; learning for the sake of learning rather than for '•the grade" and-or other pressures; freedom to pursue many of their own interests and hidden talents; - extra­ curricular activities, such as field trips and outings; and a more positive attitude about school in general. Weaknesses included these: Guaranteed grades tend to reduce incentives; director of program too busy at times to devote total attention to the program; more com­ munication with parents; and enrollment in the program should include all segments of the school society. Board President James Althoff referred to the fact that the program is funded by the state, but he added that state money also comes from tax­ payers in this area. "Is it wise to spend on a few or on the masses?" was his question. The state spends $3,200 an­ nually on the program in which those students designated as "gifted" because of their abilities, need not achieve a top rating in each class. An op­ portunity for school time devoted to particular interests of these individuals is allowed under the program. Mrs. Kathryn Alvary, a board member, said reports in California concerned with thousands of "gifted" students so enrolled indicated they benefitted society over the years. Teachers E. Kyle and R. Glawe at West and G. Chandler at East discussed the program as it is carried out locally. In other business, the board voted to accept the resignations of Marvin Martin, Science teacher, and James Mc- Farland, both of East campus. Following executive session, the board acted to grant honorary dismissals to three teachers not yet under tenure, because of enrollment changes. Another teacher was not of­ fered a continuing contract. MUSIN" N' MEANDERIN" (Continued from page 1) West campus auditorium last weekend had only accolades for a very professional per­ formance. And not all the talent can be credited to the young folks. Two fine directors, an expert dance instructor, an able stage crew and an excellent instrumental aggregation deserve our thanks for providing a most enjoyable evening's entertainment. Unfortunately, McHenry high, Marian Central and the Townsquare Players had their performances on the same weekend and it was impossible, except for the most leisurely individuals, to crowd three shows into that many days. Possibly better com­ munications between the three groups another time would permit us to enjoy these per­ formances, all of which play to large and enthusiastic audiences. K.A.F.

TWO MOTORISTS HURT IN CRASHES (Continued from page 1) His car left the road, crossed a ditch, grazed a utility pole and came to rest 60 feet from the roadway. Hicks was cited for failure to reduce speed to avoid an ac­ cident. Richard D. McCalla of 409 Helendale road, Ingleside, was ticketed for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident after his truck hit the rear of an auto driven by Candice J. Foxx of 22 S. Maple, Fox Lake. The ac­ cident occurred Sunday evening about 8 o'clock at the intersection of Bay and Cuhlman roads.
