And furthermore, you can make anti-freeze by hiding her pajamas. Finally, don't blame it on the weather when you come home stiff as a board. Graduation (by Maria Heiser) ...after the last word is spoken the doors of your school will be wide open.... and the world outside will welcome, you. A new chapter in your life must now begin If you walk with open eyes you will and can win this new game of life. But you must learn fast the rules of this game, the monotony of every single day. If you fail, you have no one but yourself to blame. Just a coward runs.... he doesn't fight and stay. The fruits of success will be waiting for you if you learned to follow life's simple rule.... Hard work, honesty... and being polite, these three words let always be your guide. ...then you can look back, someday when your hands are rough and your hair is gray.... Look back to this day when the world welcomed you and you reached out.... you lived your life honest, good and true.... NATURE Nature sure is wonderful Take human nature--beautiful girls. That's why Nature is referred to as a woman--nobody can find out how old it is. GULP! Of course you've met the eighty year old man who never uses glasses.

ELM McHENRY 385-1040 'A// WHO RUNS THE SCHOOLS? By LESTER W. BRANN, JR. President Illinois State Chamber of Commerce Public education may wot be as public as once thought. Even though more than 7,000 Illinois citizens are elected to voluntarily serve on local school boards and countless others participate on edu cation committees, commissions and advisory groups --including those for higher education -- the public's ability to control the direction of education may he on the decline. In past years, school b#ards, administrative and teaching staffs worked in*harmony toward achiev- ing'the educational goals ol a community. Differ ences' were kept to a minimum and out of the public's view. The growth of activism on the part of teacher groups and the use of collective bargaining by boards and teachers has created an adversary relationship. Through their state and local organi zations, teachers are pushing for greater influence and control of the policy-making process once exclusively the responsibility and right of the public's elected school boards. This growing struggle for policy control of the schools has confused a public accustomed to hearing a unified voice from its education enter prise. The attempt to alter the control of education from constituted public bodies has now reached the state level in full scale. Through a variety of bills introduced into the Illinois General Assem bly, a major effort has been launched by some education organizations to reduce or eliminate the public's participation and control of the responsibility for education. For instance, legislators are now considering bills that would turn over effective control of the teacher s pension system to past and present teachers, despite the fact that the state itself pays a major share of the cost. In another instance, a major statewide teachers' group is attempting to take over the teacher certi fication process by abolishing the present mecha nism and substituting another one run by teachers. Other education forces are seeking to have their representatives named as designated members on various state education hoards. All this means that you and I and all other tax payers who foot the bill for schools will have less to say about how they are run. PAGE 5 - PLA1NDEALER-FR1DAY.

How ever dew is an interesting weather element and close observation of it can tell you something about the weather to follow during the day. Dew collects on surface objects like blades of grass and is moisture taken from passing, warmer air. The earth objects which collect it from the air must be cold er than the air--so as to con dense some of the moisture out of the surrounding air. Seeing dew, either at night or early morning, is a clear weather indication-though not a foolproof one. The ab sence of dew tells you that chances are good that rain fall is ahead--sometime in the next twenty-four hours.
