Pupils Give Choice On State Tree School children of Illinois - 905,563 of them- also cho6e the white oak as the official Illinois state tree. In balloting during February and March, following a cam­ paign conducted jointly by the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction and the Conservation department, the white oak was the choice of 333,964 school children, kin­ dergarten through twelfth grade. All that remains of­ ficially is for the General Assembly to designate the white oak through legislation. In a joint statement, State Superintendent of Public In­ struction Michael J. Bakalis and Conservation Director Henry N. Barkhausen, said: "We are tremendously pleased a t the number of votes cast, which shows Illinois school children are not only interested and responsive to public affairs, but that they are cognizant erf plant life and its necessity in the environment. That they cho6e to participate in selection of the state tree, in such overwhelming numbers, is a tribute to our state-wide school systems. It is also a prime example of interagency cooperation in state govern­ ment." Linking designation of oak species with the centennial observance of Arbor Day, April 28, Dr. Bakalis, in official ceremonies, will plant a memorial tree in Oak Park. A commemorative white oak will be planted in Rochelle in of­ ficial ceremonies with Dr. Jack Watson, associate superin­ tendent for academic affairs with Dr. David Yaseen, en­ vironmental education director in the State School Superin­ tendent's office, representing Dr Bakalis, and Theodore M.
