re. 12, SEC. I - PLAIN DEALER - JULY 13, (947 -- Education Innovations Studied For School (Continued from page 1) studies, math and science instruction. At noon, interested talented students will participate in instrumental music. After lunch, seventh graders from St. John's will come to the Junior high school for math, science, foreign language or social studies. Eighth graders will return to St. John's in the afternoon. TV INSTRUCTION Because of the project, St. John's school, the present elementary school and the new junior high schobl will be wired and equipped for closed circuit TV. Foreign language instruction will begin in grade three for all pupils of the Johnsburg school district. All pupils will benefit from art and music instruction via TV as well a.c many student and administra- Musin' & Meanderin (Continued from page 1) beys in service) have done as much as Gert in the interest of patriotism, which should give her some privilege when it comes to expressing a gripe. Maybe this little reminder will remedy the situation when the flag is held proudly next Sunday! We are in possession of a real gem in the way of a post card from another era, displaying nattily attired tennis players on the courts in Lincoln park, Chicago. It must at least back to the first twenty years of the century. The card, which arrived Monday morning with the only signature, A. Deuce, contains a friendly message asking for a farads match with us "on our latest court." The court looks as old as we feel on returning to work after vacation. If the sender bought the card in its first printing, he, or she, should make a good competitor. At least one little bird that left its nest too early is remving top priority treatment ii' the hands of Shirley Lamerand of McHenry Shares. She found the bird in her yard on July 3, shortly after emerging from the nest. Mrs. Lamerand consulted the veterinarian and since that time has been following instructions Wiich includes a feeding schedule of two-hour intervals and a diet of milk, water, mashed worms and bread. This is one lucky bird! v If M.C.HJS. class members of 1947 enjoyed their twentieth reunion last Saturday evening as much as their guests, then the gathering must cer- . tainly have been among the most successful ever held. Few classes boast a member with the M.C. abilities of Ed Buss, who reminisced, when he was out of reach of the j microphone, of his peculiar difficulties with a commencement address. To the class of 1947, these were the "good old days" even though its members added few years if one judged from their appearance. This Quality of youth was certainly a blessing since each member was presented with an identification card from the 1947 Annual, bearing a picture which appeared in that book. As we compared this class of less than seventy members with the large senior aggregation of 1967, we couldn't help but feel (with regret) that some day these memorable reunions will probably come to an end. In classes where 230 members are not always aware of the identity of every other member at commencement time, certainly the memories that make for a reunion twenty years later will be lacking. There may be much to be said for the fast pace and rapid progress of today, but the more sentimental among us wouldn't trade our memories far all of it. tion activities and off-the-air activities. , Two model science laboratories at a cost of $38,000 will be available for student use. Because of the project over $7,500 in science supplies (test tubes, prisms, etc.) will be available for student use. Students will do all experiments formerly demonstrated by the teacher. Another innovation is an independent study program and creativity room. Students in the Junior high school will be allowed to study independently in the learning material-library center or creativity room. A guidance-counselor person will oversee this aspect of the project. The school is being constructed around the library. A full time librarian will assist students in using printed and electronic learning aids. GIFTED PROGRAM A gifted program as part of the project will be exemplary in that one-half of the sixth graders accelerated by grade level in math and science will be creative students as identified by tools chosen and graded with assistance from consultants at Northern Dlinois university. Experimental and control groups in seventh grade math and science will also be chosen via creativity tool of identification. A new teaching style called individual progression will be used with some classes in the Junior high school. With this style the student progresses at his own rate. This individualized instruction will better suit the needs of students. Rev. Parker Is Appointed To Christ The King Friends of Rev. Eugene D. Parker, former assistant pastor at St. Patrick's Catholic church in McHenry, will be pleased to learn of his appointment by The Most Rev. Loras T.

SEE VOTING MACHINE Board members witnessed a demonstration of an I.B.M. Votomatic machine, priced at $187 each and with an estimated cost of $87,000 for the entire county, to be paid over five years.

J County Treasurer Cal Skinner, Jr., was permitted a resolution adopted to deposit money in the savings and loans institutions of the county, as well as in banks. In other action, the board appropriated $25,000 for publication of the sesquicentennial history of the county. It has been estimated that the total cost of the book will run as high as $52,000, and the unknown question at this time seems to be how many books to publish.
