Buy U.S. Savings Bonds, new Freedom Shares CONSTRUCTION OF NEW HIGH SCHOOL EXPLAINED The new McHenry high school has been described as "a school that the community can be proud of. The building is excellent, both in the standpoint of the structure and in the programs tnatare being instituted in it." The structure itself is of reinforced concrete construction, with a twenty-six foot by twentysix foot module, or spacing between pillars, throughout the school, with the exception of open spaces such as gymnasium, auditorium or library space. The building is constructed in such a manner that in the future it can be expanded upward as well as outward; provisions are made in' the planning for a fourth floor. The temperature control units for the building are of adequate size to handle any expansion in the future. One of the primary features of the building is its library. The library is the core of the building, with a ring of classrooms surrounding it on the two upper floors. These classrooms open into the library and library materials will be dispersed so that books dealing with science will be near the science rooms, those dealing with English will be near the English rooms, etc. The school is also for use as a community center. The swimming pool will be (me of the centers of activity; with various programs for the community offered and the pool being used as much as possible. An expanded community education and recreation program will keep the building in almost constant use, Th new McHenry high school located on the Crystal Lake road, south of McHenry, ' is not unique only because it is new and because of certain features in the building; it is unique because of the many new academic' programs it houses. District 156 was selected by Measurement Research Control from Iowa City, as one of the pilot schools for a flexible modular scheduling program that the firm is currently preparing. Measurement Research center, associated with the Iowa Educational Information center of the University of Iowa, uses the Stanford university computer based method of de- ; veloping a schedule that permits the most efficient use of time, curriculum, and personnel. The program allows each student to enroll in courses that suits his individual abilities and educational or occupational scheme. In this program classes are not fitted into a rigid time period, but class lengths vary; the class length is determined by the number of modules it takes up. A module is a short period of time, anywhere from twenty to thirty minutes. A science course might meet for three modules for a laboratory two days aweek, for two modules for lecture for two days a week and for one module for a discussion with a small group one day a week. Another class might be arranged entirely differently. Students and faculty can determine the number of modules and the length of time they would like to meet, unlike the old five days a week, one hour a day schedule. CENTRALIZED LIBRARY This innovative program is not the only feature in the new building. Students have opportunities to use the centralized library facility in doing independent work, instead of following along in a rigid pattern, the student is able to follow up on areas of interest, preparing independent projects and looking into additional,information given in class. Students learn in both large groups, where sixty to one hundred students might meet to hear a special presentation on a subject, and in small groups, where ten to twenty will gather to discuss a special topic or work on a special experiment or project.
