Inc Strmsburg, Virginia In the middle of the giant city, the lake is an oasis, removed from the bustle and din, just a stone's throw beyond. It is strangely quiet, peace­ ful, giving the visitor a moment's pause, a time to think. All of us need that moment to pause, that time to think. We need, now and again, to stop and ask ourselves the questions about the deeper things in life which we gloss over in the pace of everyday living. We need to dwell on spiritual things, to assess our sense of values and to wonder if we are truly living in accord with God's wishes. Sometimes it is much easier to keep on rushing than it is to stop for a moment and take stock. Sometimes it is easier to keep on going (in what may well be the wrong way) than it is to stop and change directions. The greatest opportunity for contempla­ tion and meditation is in your church. Here you will find spiritual resources to help you reassess and strengthen your life. St. Paul's Episcopal Church 3706 W. St. Paul's & Green Rev. Arthur D.

What values prevailed? Who took part in the celebration? What was its significance? > "These are the questions our children's children will ask," says the nation's Bicentennial administrator, "and it is vital that the complete record of the Bicentennial be preserved in all its color, variety and scope." John W. Warner, ad-^ ministrator of the American Revolution Bicentennial Ad­ ministration (ARBA), ex­ pressed this opinion in discussing plans for insuring a permanent record of Bicen­ tennial activities and achievements. As a federal agency, the ARBA is working with the National Archives, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Library of Congress to insure that the official record of the agency and artifacts of national significance are preserved. Because the Bicentennial is A-l HEARING MO SERVICE Free Loaners - Complete Service on all Makes Custom Earmolds - 30 Day Trial on New Aids (Try Before You Buy! Maico-Zenith-Radio Ear Qualitone R0BT.

Johnsburg Story essentially a grass roots commemoration, communities and organizations are being urged to preserve their own record of participation, The ARBA recotmtrencTs that community Bicentennial committees consult with state and local historical societies, libraries, and local museums for advice and help on the selection and retention of Bicentennial records and memorabilia. Warner has sent a letter to state Bicentennial com­ missions asking them to join in the effort to encourage local archiving, as well as preser­ ving the state-level record. Neither the ARBA, nor federal depositories can accept local archive materials, but stata and territorial Bicen­ tennial .commissions are being askgd to provide a copy of their final report for inclusion in ARBA's records. (This is the second in a two- part installment of a story concerning the history of Johnsburg School District 12) Prior to a special election held on April 16,1966, to provide monies for the new Johnsburg Junior high, a number of local groups began an intensive campaign to inform the public of the issues involved. A Citizens' Information council was formed to contact various groups and organizations in the district. Sally Jo Von- Bruenchenheim and Jo'anne Haag were co-chairmen of the group. Speakers were sent to the meetings "of various civic organizations to explain the need for additional facilities. Special mention should be given to some of. these people who gave so much of their time and energy: Jerome Olsen, Phil Wieck, Louise Worzala, Dale Maule, Thomas Huemann, Raymond Thelen, and the Rev. Doenecke. In addition, it should be men­ tioned that at almost every meeting con<^hing this bond issue, Supt/Bush was in at­ tendance and spoke to the public. Richard Marshall was Johnsburg school board president at,, this time, and other board members were Joseph Huemann, Albert Albrecht, W.T. Peterson, Robert Hurckes, James Long and Raymond Novotny. The issue to build the new junior high passed 883 to 521, and the issue to increase the Educational rate passed 871 to 475. In 1968 the size of District 12 was considerably increased through the annexation of the Ringwood school District, as per the request of the Ringwood school board of directors, who had taken the recommendation of a citizens' vote as to which of the surrounding school districts Ringwood school should join. Vincent Tonyan, a member of Ringwood board of education, eventually became a member of Johnsburg school board of education. In the fall of 1970 the voters of District 12 passed a $1,000,000 bond issue to provide an or­ derly five-year building program to provide classroom and administration space for the district. In addition, a 25 cent educational rate increase cflfel a 5 cent building fund in­ crease was passed. Elmer Pflug was board president at this time, and other board members were Richard Morley, Phil Wieck, Jerome Olsen, Stevan Petrov, Vincent Tonyan and Charles Hiller. In May of 1971 William Tonyan and Sons began con­ struction on an addition to the Ringwood school. The equivalent of five classrooms was added in an open space area. By September of 1971, only 110 days after ground breaking, the addition was ready for use. In October of 1971 James C. Bush, Supt. since 1959, died following a long illness resulting from an automobile accident. Everyone connected with the school district and the community was saddened by Mr. Bush's death, as he was a dynamic leader. In February of 1972 the ad­ ministration of the district was reorganized. Duane Andreas was named superintendnet; James VanBosch was named principal of the Junior high; Harold May, principal of the Bush elementary and Ringwood schools; and Michael DeWplfe, director of Pupil Personnel Services. On June 8, 1972, Mrs. James C. Bush was presented with a resolution renaming the original Johnsburg Elementary school the James C. Bush Elementary school. August of 1972 saw the completion of an addition to the Junior high school. The ad­ dition included the equivalent of eight and one-half classrooms in an open space area, as well as a beautiful [WILD McCULLOCHS gymnasium, showers, two special education rooms and an art room. In December of 1972, ground breaking was accomplished for the new middle school built to \ accommodate fourth and fifth grades in an open space setting. > The classroom areas were completed in September of 1973, fnd the administration offices for the district were completed in November of 1973. Upon the opening of the mdidle school, Scott Seaborn was named intern principal, and in 1974 he was named principal of Johnsburg Middle school. On July 4, 1974, a new ad­ ministrative position was begun in the district when Ken Falkinham was employed by the board of education as business manager for District No. 12. The'school year 1974-75 saw the formation of a study committee to determine the feasibility of forming a K-12 unit district within the boun­ daries of District 12. Mem­ bership, consisting of in­ terested citizens of the com- nfifeity, was divided into five subcommittees for the purpose of collecting and analyzing data which was pertinent to the study. The Johnsburg Unit Feasibility Study committee was chaired by Charles Boak, and Mrs. Bobbie Hart served as secretary. The subcommittees were as follows: 1-State and Legal Aspects committee, Harry May, chairman. 2-Finance committee, Dr. Robert E. Stanell, chairman. 3-Educational Programs committee, Don Wolf and Gerald Sobiesk, co-chairmen. 4-Enrollment Trends com­ mittee, William Huemann, chairman. 5-Facilities and Tran­ sportation committee, James Williams, chairman. In March of 1975 the Feasibility Study committee published its report, which was a compilation of all sub­ committee reports. A "Com­ mittee of Ten" petitioned for the organization of a com­ munity unit school district to Richard L. Tazewell, superintendent, Educational Service Region, McHenry county. The ten petitioners were Charles Boak, James Preston, Mrs. Robert Stanell, Bobbie Hart, William Huemann, John Clark, Thomas Cahill, Berne Clary, William (Mike) Davis and Gerald Sobiesjk. A hesffing on this petition was held at the McHenry county courthouse May 7, 1975. The hearing was called to allow both favorable and negative comments on the proposal. On May 29, 1975, Richard L. Tazewell acted favorable on the petition. The next step called for the record of this hearing to be sent to the office of Joseph Cronin, state superintendent of schools, for a determination at the state level Approval at the state level was granted and allowed the county superintendent to call for an election to be held within the boundaries of District 12. Voters on Aug. 16, 1975, expressed themselves on two questions: (1) The for­ mation of a unit district and (2) authorizing the issuance of $3,033,600 in school building bonds for the purpose of building and equipping a senior high school building, to pur­ chase a site for this building, and to make improvements on the site. Both questions required a favorable vote for the district to be formed, and the final vote was: Unit district: 919 yes, 729 no; Bond issuer 919 yes, 712 no. The story of Johnsburg District No. 12 has been one of steady growth and progress. Enrollment figures since 1953, when thirty-five students at­ tended the Johnsburg elementary school until today when there are 1,500 students attending district schools, reveal a steady growth pattern. Progress in educational programs has been evident as well. The State Department of Education summary reports reveal such statements ax "...the community, school board, administration, and teaching staff are lo lie com­ mended for the excellence of the system..." and " thlM ih a lighthouse district " Present member* of the board of education are Charles Boak, president; Hobble Hart, secretary; Thomas Cahill, James Preston, .John Heidler, Mrs. R. Stanell and Gerald Sobiesk. Teachers with longest ser­ vice in the Johnsburg district are Catherine Evans, Ferol Tomlinson and Doris Clinan- smith (more than 15 years). Mary Rose, Edna Robel, Grace Vyduna, and Mabel Weber, with more than 10 years ser­ vice. / Other employees with long time .service are Lucille Kesser, more than fifteen years; and Clem Freund, ten to fourteen years.
