Further investigation identified them as the same articles taken in the robbery. In the auto, the deputy found Prasil. Both men were those named by Tiemann. Following the arrest, Tiemann told police he had been asleep on the living room couch in his unlocked house when he was awakened by Sager, who beat him on the head with a large frying pan.

The total budget submitted for next school year was $226,397. Less book rental and tuition, the amount required from the parishes was $144,981. St. Patrick's, with 350 students enrolled in the schools, was assessed at $74,900. St. Mary's, with 330 students, was assessed at $70,620. It was suggested that profits realized from Friday social night, which is operated by the Montini Parents association (M.P.A.). be turned over to the school and put into the general fund instead of turning the money over to the individual parishes. Last year this project raised approximately $14,000 which was distributed to the parishes to be applied toward , their weekly assessment payments to the school. fit was the consensus of the board that with this income and „with the cooperation and participation of the parents, the $20,000 figure could be ac­ complished. If necessary, other fund raising activities might be considered. Board Members John Coughlin and Barbara Gilpin were appointed co-chairmen of a committee to meet with the M.P.A. and inform them of the new arrangements. Supt. Don Ryniecki told the board that at the close of this fiscal year, the books would close "in the black '. He credited the diligence and devotion of the teachers and the administrative staff in the accomplishment of this dif­ ficult task. Board President Dr. Gregory Eckstein advised that the terms of four board members expire next month and one member is resigning. The terms of Henry Kenyon, An­ thony Pintozzi, Vi Herkes and Ted Pitzen expire and three reported they will not seek reelection. Mrs. Elsie Winkel is resigning with one year remaining on her term. The parishes were informed to hold their elections and make their appointments prior to the June meeting. New members will be installed in July. x Father Eugene Baumhofer voiced his objection t<? the religious text materials being used in the schools. After considerable discussion, it was decided to have Father Ganss, religious coordinator for the Kockford diocese, review the text and present his opinion. It was noted that the texts now being used have been approved by the Rockford Diocesan board of education and are in use throughout the diocese. Supt. Ryniecki announced that graduation ceremonies will be held Wednesday evening, June 6, at 8 p.m. in the Middle school gym. Seventy- four eighth graders will receive their diplomas.

Grades four through eight will participate in awards for scholastic achievements, academic prowess and service to the school as well as art and music awards. Parents and interested persons are welcome to attend this event. The board was informed a para-professional is needed next year strictly to supervise study and assist children. The individual does not have to be degreed but some experience is desired. c. Supt. Ryniecki thanked the board for past assistance and cooperation during the past year. He urged cooperation be the goal concerned with the contij religious education of^ children. % "In the long run, everyone will benefit--the church, the school and the parishes." Ryniecki emphasized. He also expressed his thanks to his staff, teachers and the M.P.A.

Charlene Engel of 2619 Chestnut drive, Wonder Lake, and her passenger, Eric James Engel of the same address, were taken for treatment, as was the driver of the other car, John F. Haze of McHenry. Mrs. Engel stated she was west-bound on the highway when she saw the east-bound Haze auto leave the road, hit some gravel, start to spin and fishtail. He hit her car almost head-on, pushing it into the guard rail. Haze said he came out of the intersection, made a left turn and his wheels spun on the gravel. He stated he had control of the wheel but the car wouldn't come under control. He was charged with reckless driving. A ticket for unsafe tires was issued to George R. Peterson of 407 Mineral Springs, McHenry. following a one-car accident Friday evening about 9 o'clock at the intersection of Route 31 and Johnsburg road, north of McHenry. According to Peterson, he was south-bound on the high­ way when he suddently lost control of the car on the wet pavement, near Johnsburg road. He told deputies the car belonged to a friend and it was the first time he had driven it. Officers noted that due to the age of the vehicle (1961), it was believed the vehicle eouW have had loose play in the steering wheel and an unfamiliar driver might have lost control in bad weather. Robert B. Anderson of 1341 Reynolds drive, Palatine, was cited by sheriff's deputies for unsafe tires after he lost control of his car Friday afternoon and hit a board fence at 1113 W. * Route 120, near the Possum Run Gravel Pit, east of McHenry. Anderson said he was east- bound on the highway when he approached a shallow curve just west of the pit. For unknown reasons he lost control of his car, which went into a spin and hit the fence on the west side of the road. Of­ ficers noted the right rear tire was flat and all four tires were considered unsafe for road travel.
