With feeling running high on the subject of requiring services without a promise of financial help, some pressure just might come out of this annual meeting. School board members, unlike any other governing body on this large scale, offer their time out of civic interest. There is no salary. If the job continues to be as unpalatable as it is today, we may find few capable people offering a service that takes a high priority among community contributions.

In many ways, Thomas found Australia similar to America. But, in many ways it was dif­ ferent. He must have felt at home in that English was the language spoken, and people in Australia pay for things with dollars and quarters instead of yen or drachmas. He said the people of Australia eat a lot of steak and lamb, and his father during his stay worked as a cattle farmer. Money, language, and food aside, though, there were many differences. "They swear a lot," Thomas said in talking about Australians. "Swearing and drinking beer are typical of an Australian." He attended a private high school during his stay, and noted that education in Australia is about one year ahead of education in the United States. Discipline in Australian schools is much stricter than here, he noted. He said that if a boy and girl were caoght holding handSt they would be suspended for a week. Education was very structured also, Thomas explained. " Thomas played on the rugby team for his high school, and although' he adapted to the Australian sport, he had trouble teaching them how to play baseball. Socially, "the big thing is to have friends over to your house," he said. "They let you drink freely. The beer was pretty strong, but it was good. It's a real open society." For recreation, he saidhe did some kangaroo hunting. He said he saw Koala bears, and confirmed that they are as cute as in ° the television com­ mercials. "The crime problem doesn't seem as bad there as it is here," he added. "And they have television, but it's mostly local programs." Thomas said that the thing he enjoyed most on his trip was meeting all the people. The worst part? "They didn't have pizza. HIGH SCHOOL REFERENDUM REQUEST CUT (Continued from page 1) Board Curriculum committee has met to discuss the district policy regarding freshman course requirements. After studying the issue, the com­ mittee reported that it supports the district policy and sees no reason to make any changes in this requirement. Nell observed that some study would need to be made soon on curriculum curtailment necessary through the loss of the Johnsburg students. Supt. Robert Swartzloff said the staff is working on it at this time.

Mr. Mullen of the Teachers association was present and said he felt the association will appeal the .case. On behalf of the board, Althoff said the staff would be supported and the board will help in any way they can those teachers who must be released. After some discission, members agreed to support the position of the Illinois Association of School Boards concerning the recently signed legislation consolidating elections in Illinois. Members Recognized once more that the law has many implications for school districts in the state. One provision provides „.ior only thrpe referendums in a two-year period and all must be held on the same day. Following action taken in District 15, the board acted to modify the 1977-78 calendar in a way that declares Jan. 2 a special holiday. Monday, June 5, will now be a day of at­ tendance instead of a snow day. Favorable action was taken to employ Sandra Fleming, Physical Education teacher at West campus, as assistant boys' swimming coach for the 1977-78 school year. She replaces Jeff Clayton. In other business, the board approved the administration seeking bids for repairs to the West campus roof, the replacement of the roof on the driver education simulator and rectifying the problem with the ventilation system in the kiln room at West campus. Following executive session, two sophomore boys were expelled from East campus for the remainder of the semester. The boys were involved in sprayifig mace in the homeroom and in an Art class.
