PAGE 12 - PLAINDR\t.KK VFDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1974 Marian To Offer High School Placement Test On Sunday, Dec. 8, Marian Central Catholic high school will offer the high school placement battery for all eighth grade students interested in the opportunity of attending Marian Central in the fall of 1975. The test will be offered twice, at 9 a.m. and again at 1 p.m. Students do not need to register for the test. A small fee will be collected to cover the test expenses. The purpose of the test battery is to provide a com­ prehensive educational evaluation of the interested eighth grade students. This will be used in the course selection process at Marian. The results of the high school placement tests, as well as teacher recommendations from the junior high schools, will provide the base of the coun­ seling and course selection session to be held during fresh­ men pre-registration Sunday, Feb. 16. To offer the eighth grade parents a chance to learn more about Marian, two orientation sessions will be held at 11:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. just before the finish of the testing program. At this time in­ terested parents will be able to view a film and discuss the program available at Marian. In a mailing sent to over 600 potential freshman, Marian officials assured parents that although Marian has been enjoying phenomenal growth in recent years (from an enrollment four years ago of 440 to 670 in 1974-75) measures are being taken to assure an opportunity for a secondary Catholic education for all in­ terested students. McHenry County Catholic board of education has recently issued a notice to assure the parents of all students who register for Marian on or by Feb. 16 will be eligible for the fall '75 term Further information regarding the high school placement program may be obtained by calling Robert Gough at Marian Over-Counter License Sales Now In Progress Secretary of State Michael J.

Walker, according to State Senator Jack Schaffer, R- Cary, who was among senators who last week approved the tax break measure promoted by Lt. Gov. Neil Hartigan. Schaffer said the Senate's bipartisan approval of H.B. 2715 now sends the proposal to Walker's desk for the Gover­ nor's approval or rejection. According to Schaffer, the intent of H.B. 2715 is to com­ pensate the elderly (65 and older) and disabled, for sales tax dollars spent on food, home heating fuel, clothing and medicine. He said those with annual incomes of less than $10,000 would qualify for annual cash grants based on a percentage of income on a sliding scale. The grants would average $60 to $80, with some as high as $140 a year. Schaffer said he is in agreement with Hartigan that the bill would attack the single most devastating problem faced by the elderly -- lack of income for a decent living - and that it has the potential to become the most com prehensive state program serving senior citizens in Illinois. "An enormous number of older citizens who live on fixed incomes are facing financial problems of crisis proportions because of the current economic recession and its resulting increase in the cost of living," he said. "Since the job of government is to protect its /- Visit Santa Every Sunday Afternoon DECEMBER I*8"15"22 Santa will be here m person trom 12 t eVery Sunday until Christmas!
