* Early Art Form At Opera House March 15 GAA-Activities Galore McHenry Highlights FACTS FROM McHENRY COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL The GAA (Girl's and Guy's Athletic association), a very active organization, at McHenry high school, gives all students a chance to par­ ticipate in a wide variety of sports throughout the school year. This spring's sports calendar is no exception Students can sign up for badminton, bowling, swim­ ming, and horseback riding Canoeing and even Tahitian dancing are also offered. There are approxiamtely fifty club members, all actively involved in the club's work and projects. Special events include an evening of fun and en­ tertainment with their dads. In late October GAA members sponsored relay races followed by an "open" gym and pool for their dads, as special guests. At the conclusion of the activities, refreshments were served in the cafeteria where GAA of­ ficers presented an "original" comic skit. As many as sixteen faculty members, both male and female, help and support GAA activities. Years ago GAA originated as a social and athletic club for girls only. Presently many boys are also involved and the activities have been expanded to include a myriad of different fun- activities like volleyball, dancing, slimnastics, tennis, gymnastics and swimming. The annual cake party and all-star games are special events in the spring of the year. Concluding the year's events will be the annual GAA banquet where awards and honors are presented for participation. Officers of this year's organization include Jill Freund, president; Kathy Smith, vice-president and secretary; Linda Janik and treasurer, Patty Schabow. Other board members are Barb Grandt, Danielle Byran, Joanne Ullrich and Tammy Schiller. Miss Jean Larm, new staff member at West campus this year, has taken the role of GAA sponsor. GAA provides students with creative and valuable activities after school. At the same time it builds good character and sportsmanship through healthy fun and competition. NIPC Aids In Flood Insurance The Northeastern Illinois Planning commission (NIPC) is sponsoring a technical workshop Friday, March 10, to help local governments and their residents remain eligible for federally subsidized flood insurance. Most of the counties and municipalities in the six-county metropolitan area are currently participating in the temporary "emergency" phase of the National Flood Insurance program. However, all of these communities must meet the new requirements on the "regular" program in the next year or two in order to remain eligible for the subsidized in­ surance. For many home owners, continued eligibility by their communities in the federal program will mean a savings of several hundred dollars a year in flood insurance premiums because of the federal subsidies they receive. NIPC has mailed to all communities in the region a revision of its suggested "Flood Damage Prevention Or­ dinance" that meets all regular program requirements, and a special issue of its NIPC Grants report newsletter explaining the program. The commission is following up on this action by holding a workshop, in cooperation with the Illinois Division of Water Resources, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday, March 10, at the Hillside Holiday Inn. This technical workshop will be aimed at local government officials administering the program.

NIPC is the official com­ prehensive planning agency for Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will counties. It has long advised against building in flood plains, recognizing that because of northeastern topography Illinois level and sluggish drainage, even little tributaries are susceptible to flooding. Northeastern Illinois' floods tend not to be raging torrents, but gentle rises within flood- ways and flood plains, backups in storm or sanitary sewers, or stormwater-filled basements. To eventually eliminate existing flood-prone situations and prevent them in the future, The College of DuPage Winter Repertory company will present the one-hour drama, Mourning Pictures, by Honor Moore at the Woodstock Opera House Wednesday, March 15, at 2:30 p.m. Mourning Pictures is directed by Craig Berger and is being sponsored by the McHenry County college theatre department. The play will be of special interest to women's groups, church groups and certain college classes in psychology, sociology, philosophy and theatre, but it is open to the public. There is no admission charge. The mourning picture was an art form popular in the early nineteenth century, especially in New Engalnd. The scene depicted was usually a gravestone with survivors grieving beside it. Young women stitched or painted these mourning pictures for bereaved friends. In Honor Moore's drama, Mourning Pictures, the scene is woven with poetry and music by Margaret, a twenty-seven- year old poet whose mother is dying of cancer. Margaret must struggle with her own fears, her relationship with her mother, and the reality of death. With her, the audience en­ counters the depression, f r u s t r a t i o n , b i t t e r n e s s , helplessness. It shares the pain, the closeness of the relationship as mother and daughter are drawn together, and it shares their separateness and aloneness. The play, as life, is one of warmth, tenderness and harshness. NIPC will continue to work with local governments both at regional meetings and on an individual basis. DENTURE WEARERS!

Republican State Central Committeeman 16th Congressional District Must we always put a lawyer on the State Central Committee? Dating back to the post-World War II era, 16th District lawyers have often wielded dispropor­ tionate power and influence; "clout" at every level. Must their viewpoint always prevail? Phil Rich, an independent businessman, has worked hard for the Republican Party at all levels. He believes it's time for new, broadly based leadership . . . from businessmen, farmers, craftsmen, technicians, educators, professionals in general, and many others. They can--and should--help formulate those policies which are vital to sound party organization. Rich ̂ opposes the concept that Republican policy-making in the 16th District must always be dictated by lawyers. He seeks an end to manipulating and slating candidates behind closed doors; to wheeling and dealing; to hackneyed crony­ ism." He believes it's time to return the selection of our Republican candidates to you - the people. Rich views the post of Central Committeeman as a single, fundamental trust-- not as a springboard to lucrative paid political jobs with government agencies. We need courageous leaders who believe in traditional Republican principles ... who possess the organizational skills and determination to strengthen the party from the precinct up . . . who are motivated only by a desire to serve the people who elected them. Phil Rich is such a man. Please give him your vote. March 21. Elect Phil Rich RepuHcan Mate central ummnteeman (Paid for by Citizens for Philip |. Rich • John C. Kerwftz. Chairman).
