MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) the late afternoon presentation will provide a rare opportunity in our own community to hear a moving and professional performance. Locally, McHenry Choral club members are gaining enthusiasm for their fortieth anniversary program May 2 3 The group was formed in the fall of 1940 and for most of the in­ tervening years have been entertaining McHenry audiences in May and December concerts. Few who stood on the stage of East campus for the first concert were thinking ahead of the imediate future. Like all new undertakings, there were rough periods - times when the small membership wondered if the en­ joyment they found in singing was worth the problems. Not the least among them was gas rationing during World War 11 , and eventually the decision to disband. But the club was no» in existence long. Television had its impact on their programs, as it did on most American life. Costumes made their entrance as the visual assumed equal importance with the sound entertainment of radio. And now that a very special weekend is approaching in early May, in­ vitations have gone out to former club presidents, and to charter members. Clifford Kiehl, who headed the club for several years, will come from Mountain Home, Ark.; Thomas Russell from Rockford; and there will be more. Gerald Miller, a charter member, rejoined the club after an absence of many years ant! will be on stage May 2- 3. Memories are treasured gifts of living. Musical memories will take center stage at West campus auditorium the first weekend in May for members of the McHenry Choral club and their audiences. KAF REFERENDUM REFLECTIONS (Continued from page 1) Upon questioning. Dr. Farmer looked at the larger picture of education generally in Illinois. He does not expect any dramatic help either from the Congress or the Illinois Legislature in the next four years. In fact, he thinks the amount at the federal levelwill be negligible and only modest from the State because there is not enough there to give. Dr. Farmer pondered the future of educating children as he observed a changing world in which they make up less of the population He noted that more appeals are made upon govern­ ment money, and added that parents can no longer be depended on to assure money for the schools through referendum s. In reflecting possible solutions, he sees a strong possibility that school districts, especially smaller ones, will become consolidated into larger J* If You Need New Carpeting Read This!

"We will lose some important values if this happens, just as we did when we lost the one-room school," he said with some regret. The loss, he continued, would be in less local control and in the bigger government it would create. Dr. Farmer said he and other elementary school people would feel the loss the greatest because bigger government would give less attention to younger students. Instead, he believes ihe bigger problems of the older student will dominate the time and effort of a school administration. "It is like the feeling of a stepchild," he concluded On the other hand, Farmer explained the financial advantage to a larger district would be in purchase power. "Imagine buying for a cafeteria of this size You could buy by the boxcar probably as cheaply as chain stores can." The administrator predicts that this procedure may have appeal for the state Legislature of the future. If not actually mandated. Farmer believes the legislators may put forth financial inducements that will promote the formation of large districts. Within a dozen years, Farmer believes McHenry's two school districts, Johnsburg and Harrison at Wonder Lake may be included in one large district. The future of education, particularly in this community, will be watched with interest in the months and years ahead.

Applaud Judges In Tuesday Vote "The performance of the judges was fabulous". Those were the words of County Clerk Rosemary Azzaro in assessing McHenry county's first ex­ perience under the new consolidation of elections law April 7. Mrs. Azzaro said there were some problems in areas where there were write-in contests but the judges handled them well. Returns were brought to the cour­ thouse promptly, she said, and tabulation was completed by 1:30 a.m. Wednesday. The turnout of voters for this kind of election surpassed her expectations. The percentage throughout the county was 35.7 percent. Judge Johnsburg Band Best The Johnsburg high school band, directed by Hal Thompson, was selected as the best band at the 1961 McHenry county band contest. Held Saturday, April 4, in Marengo, the contest was open to all 14 high schools in the county. The bands performed individually before a set of judges and were rated in many different categories such as tone quality, rhythmic accuracy, intonation, articulation, dynamics, and musical style and interpretation. In addition, at JOHNSBURG HIGH SCHOOL BAND the conclusion of each program every band was given oral comments by the judges. Then after re-playing portions of their selections they were graded on how well they adjusted and improved after hearing the judges' critique. This is the first time in many years that bands have been judged locally in a head-to-head type of competition. Usually, the judges rate a particular band individually based on some preconceived norm. But in this case the judges waited until they had heard all the bands before making their final rankings. The proud students from Johnsburg heard comments like: "You play with excellent taste and style", ..."some of the best intonation I have heard", "I've heard this particular selection played at least a dozen times and this was certainly one of the finest in­ terpretations." This band will be performing several more times this spring at concerts and other activities in Johnsburg. $1.00 BARGAIN MATINEE FRI THRU MON WED & THURS TILL 5PM PG MARK HAMILL CARRIE FISHER THE FORCE Will DE WITH Y< FRI & SAT-1:45-4-6:30-9-11 SUN THRU THURS-1 45-4-6:30-9 $1 .°0 TUESDAY ALL SH°WS GENE WILDER RICHARD PRYOR TheEarthli McHENRY 2 $ 1 S O A l t S E A T S S I 9 0 T U I S A l l S E A T S A l l S H O W S $1.50 BARGAIN MAT.
