Schlender is an instructor in the social science department and in the Achieve program at East campus. He is also our new head football coach. Schlender earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology and education from the University of Illinois, Circle campus, where he was a let- terman for three years, the captain of the football team for one year, and was honored as the most valuable lineman in 1970 and 1971. Upon graduating cum launde from Circle campus, Schlender continued his studies at Northern Illinois university, where he graduated with a Master s degree in Secondary Education in 1974. Schlender's first teaching experience was at Aurora high school, where he taught social studies and then became the dean of students. At Aurora he coached the wrestling team which took conference and district championships in 1975 and coached the football team which won three conference championships and was in three state play-offs. For the past three years, Schlender has taught sociology and sponsored the Varsity club at Prospect high school. Again he coached the varsity football team to the state play-offs and coached the girls' Softball which won the regional championship. This year Schlender moved to McHenry with his wife, Pat, and their six-year old son, Jacob. . "My family has supported me in alK^f my job activities, especially my coaching situations." commented Schlender. When he is not enjoying family outings, Schlender can be found running, officiating wrestling matches for I he Fox Valley conference, or writing articles of which several have been published in professional athletic journals* He is also an active member in the Illinois Football Coaches association and in the Illinois Wrestling Coaches and Of­ ficials association. When asked about his philosophy of coaching, Schlender replied, "I try not to be concerned with winning or losing. I am more concerned about the individual student and his-her approach to athletics and life. Athletics is important to individual growth, but is is not the only thing if life. I feel the family is very im­ portant. I look upon the team as a family; we must pull together when things are tough. Each individual should know he-she is a winner no matter if the game is won or not. I feel it is not a disgrace to lose, but it is how one reacts to the situation that is important. Through athletics, one can learn how to maintain enthusiasm, how to give a consistent effort, how to meet challenges, and how to respond to difficult situations with grace and good sport­ smanship." Schlender is a welcomed addition to our staff and we wish him many successful experiences at McHenry high school.

This occurs at Lexington, Va., where the two college cam­ puses: Washington and Lee university and the Virginia Military institute (V.M.I.) are next door to each other. I wrote about the first university last week. This lime I shall write about V.M.I. It is younger than its fellow school, founded in 1839. The state of Virginia bears part of the burden of sustaining it. It is a military school, but offers excellent courses in academic subjects and in engineering. Many of its graduates have been commissioned in the military forces of this nation. It has had officers in the armed forces in every war beginning with the Mexican war during President Polk's ad­ ministration. The campns of the institute looks like a military post. There is a large central area-the parade grounds-as in many army posts. Those of you who have seen Fort Sheridan or Jefferson Barracks would see the resemblances. Here, parades are the order of the day. Around the perimeter of the parade grounds are the buildings of the school. Here is the superintendent's quarters. V.M.I, uses the same, or at least a similar organization and nomenclature as both West Point and Annapolis. These quarters were erected in 1852. Next to the superintendent's quarters are those of the commandant. He is responsible for oversight of the school's students; a sort of dean of men. Occupying the main point of the parade grounds is the barracks where the cadets live. The first part was built in 1851, with later enlargements. Nearby is the oldest building on the grounds, Lake, following too closely. < Jeffrey F. Felske, 4616 Bonner, disobeyed a traffic signal (red light). the old hospital, date 1848. Coming further around the great circle is the chapel, the statue of Virginia mourning her dead and further around the Pendleton-Coles house where Sigma Nu fraternity held many early meetings and where General Marshall was married in 1902. There are a dozen or more such buildings. I name only the few most famous or oldest. It is well known in Virginia, but given less publicity in the North that cadets from the institution marched to New Market, Va., and fought a battle in the CiviL War against Union troops/A battle which they won and in which 12 members of the student body died - Virginia's dead. It stirs the heart and mind and memory to contemplate this historic shrine, which is a busy, working, vital place every day of every year. There is something I have not told you. V.M.I.'s most famous graduate is General George CatleU Marshall, one of the men to whom this country owes a great deal. One of those rare men of whom we have had too few in our nation's history; though they seem to rise from the bosom of our national life in times of great need. General Marshall graduated from V.M.I, in 1901 and he was cofhmissioned in the infantry of the United States Army upon graduation and rose through the ranks. One General said of Captain Marshall, "Captain Marshall should be made a general and if he were, I should be glad to serve under him." He com­ manded both the Infantry School at Fort Benning and Fort Lewis, in Washington state. He was first aide to General Pershing who was best man at Marshall's second marriage three years after the death of the first Mrs. Mar­ shall. When the Second World War broke out, Marshall was ap­ pointed Chief of Staff, the highest post in the Army. It was he who chose General Eisenhower to command our European armies. Marshall was a man of brains, honor. high integrity and great ability. He had a knack of speaking with deep wisdom to those who were his superiors and con­ verting them to his views without gaining their rancor. On the grounds of V.M.I, stands his memorial, the George C. Marshall Research library. The General served under President Truman as Secretary of State. It was as Secretary of Slate that he addressed a Harvard Commencement proposing the European Recovery act. It was a work of far reaching importance establishing on a firm basis the recovering of war-devastated Europe. He later served as Secretary of1 Defense when the three armed services were united into one Department of Defense. This helped put an end to inter-service struggles. This nation must not forget George C. Marshall. He was a leader--self effacing and strong. Behind an austere facade, he was a simple, wise and humorous man. We do not see his likes too often. The Research library and museum at V.M.I, is a shrine to him and a source of information about him. Visit this shrine sometime in your life. His life still affects yours.

October dresses in flame and gold Like a woman afraid of growing old. -Anne Lawler^~ f October ushers in the final quarter of 1979; is one of e nature's more beautiful months. It gets its name fronil". the Roman eight, for it was the eighth month in the? ancient Roman calendar. For Americans it is a month filled with historical' dates and birthday anniversaries. The 1st is the 551£,, birthday of President Jimmy Carter. The 4th is th£„. birthday anniversary of Rutherford Hayes, 19th Presi- - • dent of the United States, who was born at Delaware,'"' Ohio, in 1822. Hayes followed U.S. Grant to the White House in 1876. It took the electoral votes (Republican) of three occupied Dixie states to give Hayes a one-vote to.. margin, votes highly dubious because federal troops -- there propped up Infamous Reconstruction administra- » tions (the origin of solid Democratic voting wheiv'- federal troops were withdrawn). But Hayes was an honorable man and as President he withdrew federal troops from the Southern states (a j deal for the electoral votes involved such a pledge, it's said). He served only one term, by choice, and his.«> record was a good one. He died in 1893 and the state of .. Ohio now owns his Freemont estate. The 4th is also Missouri Day as well as a feast day in""' the Catholic Church in memory of Francis of Assisi;'_, who died on the 3rd in 1236. Chester Arthur, the 21 st™ President, was born at Fairfield, Vermont, on the 5th in,«. 1830, the son of a Baptist clergyman from Ireland. The first permanent German settlement in America took place at Germantown, Pennsylvania, on the 6th in • 1683. The Chicago fire occurred on the 8th and 9th in - 1871. Leif Ericsson is remembered in many areas on the-.™ 9th, as the discoverer of America in the year 1000. The 11th is Pulaski Day, in memory of the great Polish-born^ patriot. Columbus Day, on the 12th, is now a national""4 holiday; his discovery opened the New World to trade' and colonization. The 14th is the birthday anniversary*'*' of Dwight Eisenhower, born in 1890 at Denison, Texas., Bus Safety Urged| During National School Bus Safety week, Oct. 7-13, the Chairman of the Illinois State Board of Education, Donald Muirheid, is reminding motorists to watch for children crossing streets and loading or unloading from school buses. "Motorists should be con­ stantly aware of the possibility that a child may dart into traffic," Muirheid warned. "Extra alertness is needed during early morning, mid- afternoon and lunch hours-the peak times for children to be present or near schools. Drivers must also remember that children will be crossing streets to board or leave the parked cars of parents. "By observing school speed zones and .-watching for children, drivers can assist in making a child's school .yeac a happy one," the Chairman said. In addition, he cautioned drivers to watch for children when school buses have stopped to load or unload passangers. There are about 20,000 school; buses in Illinois to transport over 900,000 students each cfa£ to and from school. According to Illinois traffic laws, drivers must stop froWi' both directions when ap-' proaching a school bus that is loading or unloading students The vehicles must remain stopped until the bus driver motions them to move or the visual singals are no longer actuated, such as flaslun^ ;• <1 lights and signal arm Muirheid reminded that school buses are required to stop at railroad crossings' when; earring students. • allows bus drivers to listen ancl look in both directions before' proceeding across railroad tracks.
