Locally she dances with the Bicentennial Dance theater, a non-profit company in McHenry county which combines professional and student talent. But in the spring Christina hopes to be able to return to her career full- time. "I like classical ballet the best," she says, but she hesitates to call herself a ballerina. "I'm a working dancer, and I like working with my body as a tool. I also enjoy teaching dan­ cing to others," die said. „• Christina enrolled at McHenry County college fter her family moved to :Henry last May from iont. "I wanted to take inch becuase I've spoken it for years with my grandmother who is from Belgium.

She ex­ plains her professional dancing career probably will end by the time she's 27 or 30 depending on how strong her body is. "There are very few Fontaines," she said. The speed reading studies are aimed at helping her continue in college. "I'd like to go full- time and work on a major in dance and dance therapy," sheexptains. But right now Christina is busy with her career. the Arie Crown theater in Chicago's McCormick Place, and also gave special performances in schools, nursing homes and shopping malls. While she was in Tucson, Christina also was an in­ structor for a ballet school affiliated ^ with the professional Tucson Ballet company.

In addition to dancing for schools the company will have one performance Sunday, Dec. II,> at Hemens auditorium in Elgin which is open to the public. Once those performances are over, however, Christina's plans are in­ definite. "Dancers are always up in the air," she said, laughing when she realized her pun.

There was a time when the rafters rang With the joy of young and old. When footsteps ran up and down the stairs, And tears and laughter sang, In the thrill of young love, brave and bold, And the comfort of old loves fold. But now the house stands empty and cold, Alone with its memories. And the only sounds are the passing birds And the rustling, whispering trees. (This is written about my grandfather's old home in West Chicago after I had been away for 20 years. The following "Homestead" was written about the same home 10 years after the above). HOMESTEAD For a hundred years the old house stood Firm and •stron^as a rock. Like a giant ship with sails unfurled There never was a lock. An orchard stood behind the house And barns and sheds abounded. The children played and grown-ups worked And many voices sounded. Now only the orchard still stands there With apples and peaches and pears, But the strong old house and the barns and sheds And the people are gone. It's bare. But I still can see and hear The laughter and voices that played, And my memories of those golden years You couldn't get me to trade. by Louise Hipwell November 18, Ittft--FBI Director J.
