SECTION I - PAGE 4 - PLAINDEALER-TI IFsn^y, DECEMBER 23,1975 MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued From Page 1) during the season and remember other magic nights ...a few years ago. K.A.F. back in these last few days to enjoy the memories of holidays of other years and anticipate the joys of another Christmas. The old North Western hotel was a favorite spot to gather for hot chocolate after caroling, a custom which seems to become more and more relegated to young, organized groups. Maybe the reason is that the commercial rush and shuffle of Christmas, carolers risk being run over in the streets --if they're lucky enough to make themselves heard over televisions inside homes or recorded music that reaches out into the business areas. We find the Christmas spirit is something that many folks need to work at. For adults who unfortunately have become skeptical about Santa Claus, the trick seems to be to capture the real meaning of the celebration. Too many who do not, welcome the end of the rush. Although the acceptance of a specific religious teaching may help, it isn't a necessity to rejoice in the birthday an­ niversary of Jesus, who established for much of the world sound principles of love, goodness, kindness and forgiveness. That great event can be celebrated by all if we will take the time to reflect on its magnitude. And most of us, if we take the time, can also enjoy the magic world of children start a new high school without having to provide for the ex­ pensive occupational training programs that are going to be offered at the Career center. All of your advanced eleventh and twelfth grade vocational programs are available at the center and these are very EARLY CENTER VOTE expensive to set up and more EXHAUST ALL POSSIBILITIES FOR (Continued From Page 1) 156. Therefore, we would be unable to certify as to the legality of bonds issued by either of such districts pur­ suant to authorization based upon such an election." Very truly yours, Geoffrey A. Anderson With this information at hand, the board of control in­ structed Director Gamble to determine if there is a possibility that legislation could be enacted, which would allow the area center project to get under way. The board expressed concern about the delay because of the ap­ proximately 10 percent yearly inflation and the uncertain status of the state's 60 percent share of the project cost which will be lost after June 30, 1976, and must be resubmitted in the state budget. Dr. Duane Andreas, superintendent of the new Johnsburg district, explored the relationship of the new district to the area center. Dr. Andreas commented, "We are trying to determine how the programs can be articulated." Bob Vogen, superintendent of Marengo District 154, told Andreas, "You are in an en­ viable position of being able to expensive to operate. Dr. Andreas informed the board that his district would be in a position after the January meeting to determine if Johnsburg would participate in the Area center. MAKE PLANS FOR MCC STUDENT RECOGNITION (Continued From Page 1) man and one woman, and each will receive a $250 award.

The purpose of the program is to focus more public at­ tention on Illinois community colleges by highlighting in­ dividual student ac­ complishments. It is not a scholarship awards com­ petition, but rather a program designed to give community and state-wide recognition to two-year college students for outstanding individual achievement.
