WW*?. IVMJK i - PI.AINIHSAI.Elt - FRIDAY. NOVEMBER II . I Views Veterans' Day observance At the time this issue of the Plaindealer is being circulated in homes throughout the McHenry area, we expect to be participating in the annual Veterans' Day observance at the Legion Post Home. It will come as a surprise if there are not more patriotic residents of the community in attendance than have been present in recent years. The mood has changed m the few weeks as a feeling of in country, which was at a ebb for mamy years, seems to be sweeping the nation. 'Sometimes it takes a joh such as the suicide bombing in Beirut to bring a realization that we have, in the United States and in opr community, something very special. We are allowed to ^criticize so freely that often we convince ourselves that everything is wrong. It takes something like terrorism and barbarism by others to make us once more aware that we have 65 years the men who fought Their numbers are the loyalty they feel has failed to diminish with the years. Beside them will be the men and women of World. War n and the Korean conflict Vietnam veterans will be ptescut for the recognition deserved, but denied so long because of an unpopular war. Memories will abound, each with his own personal recollections, sometimes sharing them with the others. Only a few win remember the festiveparade held 65 years ago in McHenry, when word of the end of hostilities reached usin' &, anderin BY KAF very worth preserving. For of our faults, which we admit as other country does, we have great reason to be proud. T With little appreciation for the arms and lives we have to others, our generosity I Foolish? Perhaps, in the view df some, but it is a foolishness that has made the country great because it is unique. > There wfll be great pride today in seeing World War I Crowds lined the entire route of the parade, according to ywng residents who mt a pit Of it and who Stfll rwnmihw today. There was cheering, especially when the kaiser, represented by a doll, was carried in effigy. It was a happy cHiseiiry then, but 65 years of eiperience with declared and undeclared wars has tainted even the Joy. of victory. Today there are, in its place, a hope and a prayer that war win never come again.

Each student's Mgfr would be based on that series of courses and supplemented by classes that suitt&e individual's talents and interests. These new requirements wfll go h** effect for students entering high school next fan. The requirements show a recognition of the fact that students need extensive knowledge of the English language, a working knowledge of basic math skills and an ̂of the culture or social environment in which they live. Along with those needs, high school students today should have the op­ portunity to take computer science and vocational training that could help prepare them for jobs in a Ugh technology field. The General Assembly sp- proven the requirements in an attempt to provide a minimum of basic instruction to all students throughout the state. Faced with decreased revenues and enrollments, some schools have been dropping basic courses because students aren't taking them. A uniform stan­ dard to be employed statewide wffl solve this problem, and help students from throughout Illinois to receive adequate preparation. Another bin, which has also received approval this year, calls for the early identification of gifted students and requires the state board of education and local school systems to develop programs that wffl encourage advanced students to reach their fun potential. The bitt also provides for the award of traineeship grants to students who areinterested in teaching science or math. These grants would be used to pay for the students' college education, and, in exchange, the students would agree to teach math or science for % year for each grant they receive.
