McHenry is on the threshold of tremendous growth and very soon we, too, will need more high school buildings. "We are fortunate to have two good solid structures, East and West campus buildings. It would be foolish economics to sell either building now for a million dollars only to have to replace it in a few short years for ten million or more. "As for maintenance ex­ pense, any public building must constantly be maintained and updated. It cost $30,000 last year for boiler maintenance at East, but it cost $100,000 for compressor maintenance at West. "This Saturday, April 8, we are faced with a referendum, well camouflaged, but if it passes it means East campus will be sold. Let's give this referendum a resounding defeat and pledge our support to a more palatable proposal sometime in the future. "William J. Bolger" REFERENDUM THOUGHTS "Editor: "The school board did an excellent job of listing the advantages of adding on to West campus and distributing this information. However, they did not exhibit the same enthusiasm for listing the 'pros' for retaining East campus and operating two four-year high schools. I believe the voters should consider the following: "A smaller high school provides a more personal setting for the student. One thousand students per school seems ideal. It's large enough to provide a varied curriculum and small enough to let each student be regarded as an individual and given a better opportunity to participate in school activities. "An unique and ultra convenient school site would be preserved (East campus is adjacent to the city library and the community hospital). s i L SOFT • WATER RENTAL No installation charge NEW fully automatic softeners TWO year option to buy with FULL rental fee deducted ONE phone call can answer any questions per month RENT PHONE 312-259-3393 SOFT R«nt-o-Soft, a division of tho Arlington Soft Water Company, Arlington Hoights, Illinois 60004 Serving McHenry Area ACCESSORIES ON THIS BEAUTIFUL NEW 1978 GRAND PRIX LJ Z/78-44 I UNDERCOAT ALL THIS FREE!

The cost of repairing East campus would probably be less than 25 percent of an additon to West campus). ' 'The number of students who would require bussing would be greatly reduced (many students who could walk to East campus would have to be bussed to West). "A good example of recycling a precious resource would be set (East campus is all brick and one-half of the structure is less than twenty-five years old). "The option to add onto either building at a later date would still be open, when an increase in enrollment requires more space. "Last year our taxes went up 10 to 15 percent. This year a similar increase is anticipated! Over 70 percent of our tax bill is spent by the schools. We taxpayers can't afford to get less than full value for this huge chunk of our tax dollar. "Please use your precious right to vote this Saturday. "Ruth Beadsley" "McHenry" SCHOOL ACTION "Dear Editor: "Though I will be graduating in June, I still have strong feelings about actions which will be taking place next year. One of these actions is the eliminating of teachers and aides. - "To my dismay I have learned about an aidet Mrs. Amy Street, who is being cut. Mrs. Street is not your everyday, run-of-the-mill aide. Her job includes running the testing center and reserve book area. Besides doing this she takes on outside duties, con­ sidered pleasures.

Despite this devotion, however, she is being cut after nine years of faith­ fulness to McHenry.
