Graduates The pictures of the two graduating Marian high school seniors shown here were inadvertently omitted from the list of photos supplied to the school and newspaper by the phtographer Also, the name of Darren John Shay, listed among graduates with pictures that were unavailable, was not legible in some issues, as were the names of Dale Jay Houghton. Steven Michael Hughes.'Julie I.vnn Huml and I^aureen ' Denise Hupke. whose pictures ap­ peared PAGE 20 - PLAINDEALER WEDNESDAY, JUNE lOfJIWl ZONING BOARD OPPOSED TO "LIGHT COMMERCIAL" ZONING (Continued from page 1) light commercial classification was unnecessary. "Beyond Route 31 and 120, there is no real use for this classification," the ZBA chairman said. Support for this idea came from Kupstis, who noted that it might be more effective to make a special use of high traffic uses ~ like package liquor stores or gas stations, which presently are allowed in "B 1" business - or move them to a another classification. "You could amend, delete or reorganize the permitted uses," Narusis said. "But right now. this is a Plan commission attempt for a more restrictive zone." ZBA m mber Suzanne Kauss voiced her opposition to the proposed text amendment, saying she could not ac­ cept >uch restrictive zoning on retailers. "I feel that the ordinance carries buffers and screening." she said. "If the city does not insure compliance that is another story." After some questions had been dismissed, about whether the amend­ ment had been spurred by sensitive areas on Route 31 north and south of McHenry, the ZBA voted to recommend against the creation of the new district. Voting against were James Fouse, Annie Cuda. Suzanne Kauss. Jon Smith and Fred Kupstis. Voting in favor was Kay Halverson. ZBA member Robert Jessup was excused for cause. They weld and paint, and they don't complain. They do their job cheaply and require very little sick leave. They ask for no vacations, and there are no morning hangovers. Just work. Maybe all those fears that robots are a real threat to American jobs has no basis. After all, Japan has an unem­ ployment rate of about 2 percent compared to our own. over 7 percent. We aren't putting in a. plug for robots in the labor market, even though these facts seem to make them the good guys in the white hats. Our real interest in robots is to take our place on the firing line at the driver license office in Woodstock. Does anyone have a mechanical man with all the answers for sale? KAF A VALEDICTORIAN TALKS TO CLASS (Continued from page 1) On the subject of exploring new horizons, she posed the question, "Why can't our class take the dare?" "We all have potential," the top scholar said. "We just need the con­ fidence to push forward." She also emphasized the importance of setting goals one at a time. "Right now is the time to set our goals I^et's go for it." she concluded Before presenting the class for graduation. Superintendent Duane Andreas agreed with the speeches of the top graduates. But he also asked that as the class moves into the future, they should "take the time to thank teachers, administrators, friends and parents" who have helped them through high school CHARGE IT!

MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) But for those who fear the mechanical men may make inroads on their life, there may be interest in knowing these fears are not new. In 1691, a mob of textile workers in Ger­ many. fearing unemployment from the introduction of a nejtv textile loom, drowned the loom's in A century and .qtiartei- later, automated card looms 'Were in­ troduced. and the workers of that generation wrecked them by throwing wooden shoes (called 'sabots'rinto the gears That little incident gave rise to the word sabotage, which we've heard plenty about through the years. Our country now has about 3,000 robots at work. But the Japanese, our big industrial competitor^. have some 60,000 "mechanical men", with some factories that are run almost entirelv by man-made men. Schools Hold Math Survey When the board of Elementary School District 15 met for an instructional meeting recently. John Nilles reported on the math committee survey instrument. Board members were given copies of the survey papers that also were sent to parents Results will be used in a re- evaluation during this one-year program Future plans call for close in­ volvement between the local high school and grade schools in the area of math to strengthen a program which admittedly is not as effective as the District 15 reading program. Later, the board went into executive session to hear a report from Social Worker Alice Arneson.
