The Law Serves You END OF LINE NEAR FOR CONTINUATION SCHOOL The Continuation school may be on its way out as an education institution in Illinois, according to the Illinois State Bar association. Although public school districts are authorized by law to establish continuation or part-time schools for 16 and 17- year-olds not in attendance at regular all-day schools, the need tor such schools largely is being met by other continuing education programs. Already, the ISBA said, some school districts which had established continuation schools now are abandoning them, both for budgetary reasons and because the need for them is not so acute. The Chicago School District, for example, closed two of its continuation schools, the Logan Continuation School for boys and the Simeon Continuation School for girls at the end of the 1972-73 school year in June. Other school districts, in­ cluding the East St. Louis and Collinsville school districts, still operate their continuation schools but no new schools of this type are being opened, even though school districts may recover at least part of the cost through state and federal reimbursement. Another factor in the decline of continuation schools is their limited enrollment. By law, the special purpose of these schools is to provide compulsory part- time schooling for students "above the age of 16 and below the age of 18" who have been excused from all day schoool attendance, usually so they may be employed. They may attend classes as little as eight hours per week and may quit entirely at age 18. Most irhportantly, however, vocational training schools offering day and evening classes are serving the purpose of continuation schools in many communities. And adult education programs offered by public school districts and public junior colleges no longer are restricted to "adults". Generally, enrollment is open to residents who are not enrolled in high school and who are beyond compulsory school age or whose high school classes have graduated. Still another program, the G e n e r a l E d u c a t i o n a 1 Development program (GED), offers the dropout from school an opportunity to gain a "High MICKEY'S DELIVERS!

There were lots of people renewing acquaintances and meeting new friends. The chickens were done to a tee by the men as usual and the rest of the meal was prepared by all of the church women. There were over 715 tickets sold in advance and 670 dinners served. We reached our $1,000 mark as hoped for. OUR APOLOGIES The program that was planned under the BIG TOP had to be called off as at the last minute there was sickness and, too, there were several people on vacation who hadn't planned things that way. It just hap­ pened. So, the committee hopefully will have a program next year for you. In fact they have already started plans for such. SECRET PALS REVEALED Members and friends of the Ringwood Church W.S.C.S. met at the home of Shirley Cristy Wednesday evening for an exchange of gifts and to reveal the secret pals for the past year. Some of the ladies were very surprised to learn the name of their "pal" who had been remembering them with little gifts and cards on special occasions. It was a most en­ joyable evening and a delicious salad served by Shirley andf Katy Christopher. SEWING GROUP The next meeting of the sewing work-day will meet at the home of Katy Christopher on Thursday, July 26, at 10:30 a.m. VISITOR FROM AFAR The Joe Viscontis have been enjoying a visit from Rosa's father, Antonio Ippolito from Palermo, Sicily.

Larry Oonk received second degree burns on his hands when Any man with money to burn he tried to extinguish fire in the can always find someone to upstairs of the Oonk home on tend the fire. Monday evening of this week. Viscounts In Action It was a busy day July Fourth for McHenry's drum and bugle corps. Members boarded a bus at 8 a.m. and started for Highland Park, where they marched in that city's parade. From there it was on to Deerfield for another parade at noon, then to Northhrook for another line of march at 2:30. A late lunch (3:30 p.m.) was welcomed by the very hot, tired young people who described the cement streets on which they walked similar to "a grill". A weary corps arrived back at the Legion parking lot at 5 p.m., but not to rest. Instead, they put up their booth on the carnival grounds and members took turns working for the corps. If some young people these days are described as "soft", it certainly doesn't apply to the Viscounts. They have earned approximately $200 toward new uniforms and will be seeking more. When you see a Viscount member on tag day, July 14, be proud of some very fine teen­ agers. mathematics and the state and federal constitutions. The regional superintendent may offer a refresher course designed to prepare the ap­ plicant for an examination or the applicant may prepare himself, using self-instruction manuals available for the purpose. The ISBA said the High School Equivalency certificate is accepted by many junior colleges, college and univer­ sities in Illinois and elswhere in lieu of a high school diploma as an entrance requirement.
