Won d^r Lake Mary Jean Huff 728-0267 Urge Interested People Plan For Bicentennial Year What will the bicentennial year mean to the people of Wonder Lake? We seem to be at a point in time in Wonder Lake where there's not much left - no more Memorial Day Parade, no Fourth of July fireworks, not much chance to express our patriotism and spark the love of our country in our children. It has been suggested that all subdivisions, organizations and interested individuals start planning now, with perhaps July 4, 1976, as a big celebration date, and organize one fan­ tastic Bicentennial Day in Wonder Lake. The possibilities suggested were a giant parade with floats and prizes for best decorated bikes and doll buggys, a community picnic, an ice cream social, dances, games,, etc. Pat Seaver, 653- 9226, would like to organize an initial meeting of interested people. Let's get going! BRIDAL SHOWER Ruth Mathews, who will become the bride of Eric Weiss on Aug. 2 was honored with a surprise bridal shower on Thursday, July 10. The shower was held in the home of Mary Ruggero with Maxine Bixby as co-hostess. About forty guests enjoyed punch and snacks while the radiant bride-to-be opened her gifts, which were both practical, lovely and exquisite. Pie 'n coffee and good conversation were then enjoyed by everyone. TENNIS BOOSTERS ^ One of the most popular sports of the day is tennis. And where do the people of Wonder Lake go if they want to play tennis? - Woodstock, McHenry, Crystal Lake, or wherever. But soon, with the cooperation and contributions of the people of Wonder Lake, under the enthusiastic leadership of the Tennis Boosters, we will have our own tennis courts at Harrison school. These courts will be available to the public during the summer time and while school is not in session at Harrison. However, there must be a little more contributing before these courts become a reality. While the Boosters have already raised enough money for the fencing, more funds are needed to finish the courts with the proper coating. This weekend, July 18, 19 and 20, the Tennis Boosters and their subdivision helpers will be going door to door asking for donations. A small contribution (or a large one!) now could mean years of healthy exercise and free entertainment for yourselves and your children. Please be generous! The next meeting of the Tennis Boosters will be Thursday, July 24, at 8 p.m. at the LRC in Harrison school. Anyone is welcome to attend and anyone with ideas for money raising is especially welcome. UNSAFE BEACHES According to a report from the McHenry County Depart­ ment of Health, samples of surface water taken from Wonder Lake on July 7, revealed four of our beaches to be unsatisfactory, Sunrise Ridge, Deep Spring Woods No. 1, Deep Spring Woods No. 2, and Wonder View. The Department of Health suggests that you swim at your own risk at these beaches. The rest of the Wonder Lake beaches were considered satisfactory at this date.

To finalize plans for the installatibn of the newly elected officers for the year'of 1975-76. The following officers of the post to be in­ stalled are: James Hales, commander; Kenneth Wakeham, Sr. Vice; Ted Fuss, Junior Vice; Wilbur Haak, By Jim Smith Journalism Student Randy Swikle, advisor of the award-winning student newspaper at Johnsburg Junior high school in McHenry, has * been named national chairman of the Junior High Journalism commission recently convened by the Journalism Education association. A primary goal of his two-year assignment will be to stress the value of jour­ nalism as part of the junior high curriculum and to help schoql officials recognize ways to establish strong, responsible journalism programs. "Among the commission's other objectives, said Swikle, "will be to build an awareness of the needs and problems faced by junior high jour­ nalism teachers, to investigate successful junior high jour­ nalism programs and share these programs with JEA members, to investigate the positions of advisors of junior high publications as opposed to teachers of junior high jour­ nalism, and to establish a book to make junior high journalism teachers-advisors^ ad­ ministrators, and editors aware of duties and respon­ sibilities of the press." Swikle, who was recently invited to speak at the Columbia Scholastic Press association convention in New York next1 'Spring, has been teaching journalism at John­ sburg Junior high for six years. During that time, the student newspaper, The Johnsburg Journal, has received a great deal of national recognition, including two of scholastic journalism's highest awards. The newspaper received a Medalist rating from the Columbia Scholastic Press association and was named "All-American" by the National Scholastic Press association. Johnsburg Journal reporters have .^interviewed former President Richard Nixon and Gov. Daniel® Walker; they covered a White House press briefing, and again saw the President during the Watergate crisis; they covered Vice- President Spiro Agnew's last public appearance two days before he resigned; they have gone on night patrol with the McHenry county Sheriff's department; and they have participated in a number of other special assignments that have been of interest to Johnsburg students. "At Johnsburg we are for­ tunate to have a board of education and administrative staff that recognize junior high students have the responsibility and maturity to apply sound journalistic principles in achieving a quality publication," said Swikle. "Our eighth grade staff members of The Johnsburg Journal are treated as professional reporters. The School board has adopted policy that gives Journal reporters the right to print whatever they want for publication so long as it is not obscene or libelous and will not cause substantial disruptions in the operation of the school." The student newspaper is very influential because of its independence, according to Swikle. He says the staff has a fine record for reporting the news accurately and ob­ jectively, and for examining all sides of an issue before taking an editorial stand. "Much of the success of our student newspaper at ^ John­ sburg is due to the fact that our students are given ^Veal responsibilities. The students feel the trust the* board and administration have in -their judgment, and that makes it a lot easier for students to have respect for views and opinions they disagree with." » Swikle has had a great deal of newspaper experience himself, including a recent job as columnist * (County Dateline) for the Woodstock Daily Sen­ tinel. H£ also served as public relations coordinator for Johnsburg School District 12. Serving with Swikle on the Junior High Journalism com­ mission will be J.P. Cohn of Woodland, Ca.; Lenora Atwood of Eugene^Or.; Hom§rHall of Kirkwood. Mo. ; and another member yet to be appointed.
