United Way seeks $315,000 * United' Way of McHenry Coun­ ty's 1984 annual campaign is seek- * fog $315,000 to support 16 local agencies that will provide human services to nearly 35,000 county tesidents and workers this year. The campaign goal and the volunteers who will lead major campaign activities, were an­ nounced recently by Mrs. E. Louise Rogers, 1984 United Way general campaign chairman and division vice-president of Nor­ thern Illinois Gas Company. Rogers indicated: "Our $315,000 goal is the most ambitious ever set by United Way, yet we are ton- vinced that the goal reflects legitimate needs and that it is at­ tainable. Recent examination by United Way of the financial needs of our member agencies indicates that, if funds were only available, eur agencies could effectively use nearly $600,000 this year. United Way support is crucial to our agencies because it represents local people making local service decisions and raising charitable funds more effectively than can be accomplished by either govern­ ment or other major charitable jjpoups. Nearly 90 percent of every dollar raised locally by United Way goes directly to serving local people in time of need." ' Rogers added, "Our 1984 cam- lign organization is the largest nip of people ever assembled :ally to raise charitable funds and our campaign effort will touch more organizations, workers and residents than ever before.

St. Joseph School's enrollment increased from 96 children last fall to 128 students at the beginning of this school year. The kindergarten class has a record number 26 students, divided between two half-dlay sessions. Some were put on a waiting list tor kindergarten. Twenty-six is the limit for each class. ' "Last year* there was a question if this school would close, and now people realize the great dedication to education in this parish," said St. Joseph principal, Sister John Margaret. "There is a Christian at* mosphere here, and we're lucky to have small classes." The primary grades are growing faster than the upper classes. There, are 12 seventh grade students and nine eighth graders. "Hopefully, within the next two years, if the small grades continue to grow, each class will be separate," said Sister John Margaret. Grades first through fourth are self-contained, and grades • fifth and sixth and seventh and eighth remain combined. Last year St. Jpseph graduated 11 students. Three went to Marian Central and the others to public schools. Thomas Landers, principal of Marian Central, attributes the reverse in the declining enrollment trend at the county's Catholic high school to several factors. One has been an effort toward increasing enrollment. In June 1985, Marian will graduate 89 seniors. The total present enrollment is 366, wuth the freshman class numbering 108. Enrollment figures for other county Catholic schools indicate a nearly 15-percent increase for both St. Margaret Mary in Algonquin, from 185 last year to 217, and St. John in Johnsburg, from 187 to 217 students. St. John principal, Sister Angeline, noted that there are 56 preschool students, and enrollment is up in the higher grades. St. Thomas, Crystal Lake, and St. Mary's, Woodstock, have remained stable in population. Superintendent Ron Svoboda, of McHenry's Montini Primary Center and Middle School, said enrollment only increased by one. He predicted a 5- to 10- percent increase over the next two years due to the population growth in the area.
