* PACE 4 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, 1»7« Summer School Ends Within District 12 District 12 has just completed its eleventh consecutive summer school program. This year, for the second time, the program involved Kindergarten children as well as children, from Grades 1 through 5. Both J Math and Reading were of­ fered. Mrs. Terri Reinhard and Mrs. Jane Gritmacker provided the basic format by researching activities, and did much of the planning for the units taught. As a vehicle to teaching reading, during the first two weeks, the children made a "Me Mobile" with • description of things they liked with either pictures or words, made dough plaques, tissue paper bottles, etc. This unit was called "I Am Proud". The second two weeks were spent on a "Developing Com­ munication" unit with various activities, and the last two weeks were spent on the unit, "Child Copes with En­ vironment". • A highlight of the program was the newspaper, "I am .Proud to be Me", with in­ teresting articles about the children,. the field trip, pic­ tures, puzzles, etc. • The children are tested at the beginning and end of the program under specification of Title I. The .teachers are happy to report that in most instances considerable gain was shown. The teachers involved this year are Mrs. Jane Grit­ macker, Mrs. Kathy Muller, Miss Pat Neff, Dick Seaborn, Bill Snow, Mrs. Margaret Stenzel, Mrs. Terri Reinhard, Mrs. Mabel Weber, Mrs. Sue Witt and Mrs. Evelyn Zvonar, Michael DeWolfe, head of Pupil Personnel Services for John- sburg District 12, helped with much of the planning and evaluation, scheduled con­ ferences, and set up the field trip. v ANNUAL Wonder Lake F i remen 's Dance SAT,, AUGUST 7, 9 pm Music by 'BOB and {he BLUE TONES" I". \ ( ill i'i !

Among the things featured in the museum is an old western town, a display of old phonographs, pictures of Thomas Edison and much about his inventions. The children enjoyed the old player piano, the souvenir display, the game rooms, a good lunch and delightful old Laurel and Hardy movies. As the Title I program em­ phasized not only the basic Math and Reading skills, but worked with the children concerning attitudes toward reading, math and self-image, the teachers and ad­ ministration desire feed back concerning the program. A meeting will be held soon concerning this. Persons should call the James C. Busch school, 2117 W. Church, and ask for Mr. DeWolfe if they would like to attend. Dr. Duane Andreas, superintendent, and the school board feel fortunate to be able to offer this program to the children of the district, and make use of their facilities for six additional weeks after the close ef the regular school term.' Good Fortune Follows Couple Enroute South Election Year It's becoming obvious during this election year that politicians stand for what they think the public will fall for. (By Father William O. Hanner, rector emeritus of Holy Comforter church, Episcopal, Kenilworth) We got on the road to Florida and our new home about 9 a.m. in the morning. It was a clear, lovely day. We took the toll road south toward Indiana, stopping, (it seems) every half mile to pay 30 cents. I hadn't "topped off" the gas before leaving. When we got into In­ diana I looked for a gas station. We left the Interstate road and found several large, well equipped high priced stations. Gas was 66 cents regular~the highest we found anywhere on our trek south. As we rolled down the ramp the radiator was aboil, clouds of steam escaped from under our hood. After the car cooled for half an hour, the mechanic diagnosed our trouble as a leaky radiator hose. Now we waited for a replacement to be sent out from town. We were delayed, all told about two hours. All this time traffic whizzed past while I rued the miles we were missing. We were back in the thick of the turmoil and fed shortly after noon. We circled Indianapolis, and mid afternoon found us in IDE McHENRY MEDICAL GROUP ANNOUNCES THE ASSOCIATION OF Roger A.

North Green Street, McHenry, Illinois PHONE: (815) 385-1050 „ Columbus, In., a town of 27,000, 45 miles south of Indianapolis. Like many of our towns and cities, Columbus was having growing pains. Shopping centers had hemorrhaged the old down town business area, Columbus, however, was dif­ ferent. Its downtown area was not content to lie supinely down and bleed to death. This town, was taking steps to staunch the flow. A beautiful restoration of the old downtown had been carried out. The courthouse had been restored (as at Woodstock), the 1870 to 1905 buildings were restored, streets had been closed and malls developed. The downtown area of Columbus was surging with new life. There is such a thing as resurrection you know, if you remember' your pastor's teachings and the words of Holy Writ. Vou don't have to lie down' and stay dead. Columbus had found this out; so had Frank­ fort, the capital of Kentucky which we went through the next day and where we stopped for a . bit of lunch. A word about churches when you travel-we always try our . best to get to one of our chur­ ches for a service on Sunday mornings-occasionally we don't make it. Generally we do. We find all kinds of churches, little ones, big ones, warm ones and even cold ones. One service tells me an awful lot about pastor and congregation. I have been warmly welcomed in a strange parish and nearly frozen to death in a place that ought to know better. The parish-in Columbus was a place where everyone greeted those whom he knew and paid little attention- indeed, none at all, to the stranger within his gates.

After church and breakfast we ran down to Frankfort on back roads through Madison, In., an historical old town on the Ohio, where in days gone by we have had many pleasant stops at Clifty Falls State park and other places of interest nearby. We kept well away from the big roads and followed a smaller two-lane road through the rolling Indiana countryside. It was Sunday morning, no one was about, the fields were green, the. woods leafy, the little brooks and streams glistened in the sun. It was a very satisfying mor­ ning's drive. Run over back roads-there are lots of. them about McHenry. Early afternoon found us in Berea, Ky. There is a hotel in Berea run by Berea college where they teach their in­ terested students Hotel Management. The student at the desk said, "Oh you have been here before, I have a very nice room for you!" She popped us into a beautiful twin bed room with six comfortable chairs; the room had two windows for it was on a corner. There was a good colored TV (in focus), a superb dinner (of local mountain dishes), here we had a sound night's sleep. Packing and getting away from McHenry had been hard on us. We were dog tired. Our slow pace was healing and fun. We often have as much fun on the road as we do when we arrive where we are going. Berea college runs a four- year course with no graduate school. Students are drawn mostly from the Appalachian mountains in Kentucky and its surrounding states with ap- palachian population. Some students are drawn from other parts of the country and foreign lands so that the student body is a cross section of the country FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of August 5, 1926) A coterie of Chicago men, members of Crystal Lake Country club, are trying to work out the proposition of building a lake in Bull Valley, a few miles west of McHenry. During the past winter options were secured on farms in that locality and approximately three thousand acres were optioned on behalf of these men. On Monday of this week the City Council held its regular monthly meeting, bills were passed upon and ordered paid and other business matters were properly tended to. The meeting adjourned after having decided to hold a special meeting on Aug. 16 at which time city business of pressing importance will be duly taken care of. Most expensive automobiles in Illinois have the smallest license plates especially in the first 10,000 plates, reports from the state automobile department show. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of August 9, 1951) The second polio case in the McHenry community to be reported this year is that of Mrs. Leonard Blake, 23, who was taken to the Winnebago county hospital in Rockford on Monday. Mrs. Blake had been and to a lesser extent, the world. It was hot driving in summer- -but the air conditioner gave excellent service, each day's trip was short. Spell each other driving.

At a seminar meeting, Roger Hill, headmaster, outlined the possibility of taking twenty day pupils into the lower grades, fifteen boys nd five girto. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of August 11, 1966) Architects working on plans for the new high school in District 156 were in McHenry Tuesday, consulting with faculty members, particularly department heads, concerning needs and desires in their specific areas of education. A schedule was set up to which building design was discussed. This will be followed by working plans with board members and faculty, after which the final plans will be let for bids. The future of Valley Hi county home was the subject of major discussion at the monthly meeting of the board of supervisors Tuesday. Following presentations which included a difference of opinions on patient figures, the board decided to call a special meeting later this month and confine their business only to this issue. It is expected that the outcome will be either a decision to expand the present home or allow additional money to send county patients to private rest homes.
