PAGE 14 - PLAINPEALER_- WI TRANSPORTATION FOCUS OF FUTURE ON McHENRY (Continued from page 1) improvements would be needed in the Spring Grove area as a result of in­ creased industrial development. McHenry, the plan said, would benefit from the bypass and corridor improvements by diverting traffic, both north-south and east-west, from the downtown area. The plan will be reviewed by the County board at a later date. SNOWMOBILE ACCIDENTS TAKE LIVES OF YOUTHS (Continued from page 1) reach the opposite shore. Others then set out in the boat to make the rescue. A neighbor, Rose Glashage, reported that the girl was going into shock when she was pulled from the water. She and the driver, a McHenry area woman, were taken to McHenry hospital for treatment. Rose Schmoldt, 33, of McHenry, and Christy Grosch, 12, of Roselle, were treated «t the local hospital for minor exposure. CITY TO DISTRIBUTE $207,000 IN REVENUE SHARING FUNDS (Continued from page 1) a where the money came from for the various activities sponsored by the association. Kinnerk said money for the bowling teams came from the "dunk tank" at Fiesta days. Kinnerk also passed out complimentary tickets to a benefit dance scheduled for Feb. 8 at West campus. The money from the benefit will be used to establish a scholarship for a graduating senior from both campuses. Mayor Stanek reported that the Lakeland Park Property Owners association had agreed to let the city construct ice skating rinks at both the east and west beaches. The rinks will be open to all city residents. The Council voted to purchase a traffic counter for the Police depart­ ment at a cost of approximately $1,000.

Duker, who greeted the initial classes to enter the building in 1924 and who remained for many years at the helm. His jingly keys, a sign that authority walked the halls, could almost be heard Sunday by those with more vivid imaginations. All of the talks, representing civic and school associations; carried mess­ ages recognizing the important role of good schools in McHenry. But two - the women - delved deeper into the heart of this rededication. Both Miss Maurie Taylor and Miss Helen Stevens had spent many years in the classroom and expressed the warm feeling really fine teachers and administrators ex­ perience in their work of molding young minds and characters. Some of the talent of these young people was evident in the school chorus, which entertained so well in several selections appropriate to the occasion. Memories were shared, but there were a few so treasured, and so long ago, that only family members recalled. We were sitting next to Catherine (Walsh) Miller, whose mother, Loretto Walsh, was valedictorian of the first MCHS graduating class. Her brother, (S<rl Hear) Earl Walsh, had carefully preserved the speech on paper and had given it to her. It was unthinkable that this would not be shared. What would a 17-year-old girl write to her classmates and friends in 1892? And what were her goals? We waited with much anticipation and the reward came Monday morning when several pages, in flawless writing, disclosed in detail her "For­ mation Of Character". Later, young Loretto was to take her oral test for a teaching certificate and then ride some distance on horseback from her home on Barreville road to a point farther south, where she taught in a rural school. Modern education, while attempting to form character as well as teach, must sometimes be bogged down by tye many demands of a technical society. These demands require a quantity of teaching that can hardly be included in the average school day. Sometimes, we would think, character formation, of necessity, has to take second place. For those who might be interested in what a serious young lady of 17 was thinking in 1892, here are a few excerpts from the valedictory address: "-k^Our character is the sum of all our acts, both mental and personal acts. We lead two lives, the life without and the life within. Now in order to have our outward acts right and good, the motives of inner man must be good. ".. Our first impression of character must be taken from our mother's nature. She it is who bends the twig. "...Our laws are made at home. There are trained the voters who shape our country's destiny. "...We are all wonderful imitators, at this age especially. If the parent ex­ pects a noble character of his child he must himself be noble. "...Two or three years and the scepter is divided; the teacher shares the sway. The human mind requires to be educated and I think the greater part of that education should be obtained through example rather than precept, for precept has no authority unless backed by examples. "...A greater part of the outgrowths of Christian principle and good character are offsprings of our public schools. A teacher ought to beware of the influence she exerts among her scholars, in whose eyes she is the perfection of grace and goodness. If she be'careless, frivolous and undutiful, the scholars will inevitably be so too. "...It is a true maxim that 'a man is known by the company he keeps'. He naturally becomes similar by the force of imitation to the habits and manners of his associates. We should then be very choice of our associates and never allow ourselves to associate with bad company but always keep on the straight line of duty. "...Life is a battle between good and evil from childhood. Since our characters are as our mental acts are, in order to form a good character, first of all we must form habits of just and noble thinking." A bit old fashioned in its presen­ tation? Of course! These words were written nearly a century ago. But the truth of the message hasn't really changed very much. Words to live by in 1892 - words to live by today. KAF McCullom Lake Dawn Miller 385-4901 NewColumrmt Reports News My name is Dawn Miller and some of you may remember me as Dawn Parenti. I have lived in this village for the past 25 years. My parents, Don and Lois Parenti started building their house on Orchard drive in 1955. It was completed and moved into on Easter Sunday, 1956. I lived there with my parents, two sisters and brother until I married in 1969. After finishing vhis army tour of duty, my husband Chuck and I moved back into the village here on Park view in 1970, where we've been ever since. I am a homemaker with three lovely children/ Please feel free to call me anytime with any news, I will be glad to put it into the column. VILLAGE BOARD I went to a village board meeting the other night, the first one in a long time. The village board meets twice a month on the second and fourth Tuesdays at the beach house at 8 p.m. It was an interesting meeting and there was quite a turnout: the biggest crowd they've had in a long time. One important issue dis­ cussed was snowmobiling. Snowmobilers must ride on the side of the road, in the shoulder area and go no faster than 20 jn.p.h. They must use caution and drive slowly when crossing a street. A snowmobile does not have to have a village vehicle sticker, but must have state identification numbers on it. You people should really get out and come down to the village board meetings. You'll meet your old and new neighbors and might have some fun. Another item blrought up at the village board was stop signs. Stop signs are put up for your own protection and our children's protection, so please obey them and stop. I know this last Fall there were guite a few new signs put up, but surely by now you must know where they are located, so please stop, if not for yourselves then for our children. ELECTIONS On Tuesday, April 7th, there will be a village election. The offices that will be vacant are president, village clerk, and three trustees. Any registered village resident voter may run for office. All you have to do is go to the village clerk's office and get a petition for the office you wish to fill and return it to the clerk before Jan. 26. That is the deadline. Why not become an involved citizen and run for office? BEACH GALS The Beach Gals hold their monthly meeting on the first Wednesday evening at the Beach House at 7:30 p.m. All ladies, all ages are invited to attend the meetings. It is a working club. We work for the children of the village, whether it be holding their holiday parties, or holding fund raisers to have the capital to run their parties. We have a lot of fun at the meetings and events. Officers are Donna Gates, president; Peg Loewe, vice president; Cnris Lawson, treasurer; and Joanne Weisenberger, secretary. Contact one of the girls or just come down to a meeting. LADIES OF THE LAKE This is another fine ladies club, meeting every second Thursday of the month at 8 p.m. at the Beach House. There are no meetings in January or February, but they will resume again in March. The officer of this club are Barb Reiter, president; Bee Brown, vice president; Irene Johnson, secretary-* treasurer. Come on down and meet the ladies.
