12, SEC. I - PLAIN DEALER - AUG. 24, 1967 MCHS DISCIPLINE PROCEDURE, DRESS CODES DISCUSSED (Continued from page 1) tion with school activities, smoking, etc. The board is considering establishment of a procedure for offenses in the local school. OKAY CODE The board has approved a dress code which had been passed by the Student Council and it will appear in August 31 issue. The board issued this statement: "One factor necessary for M.C;H.S. to maintain its good reputation is for all students to dress appropriately while in attendance at school. Individual differences are recognized, as is the fact that it is. impossible to list definite rules concerning all items of dress. It is the desire that each student's attire will reflect upon him as an individual and be in accord with that which is acceptable and, not be considered extreme. Copies were distributed of the training rules and code of conduct for high school athletes, which are printed this week on the sports page. Board Member Donald Howard suggested a less severe penalty for the first offense of smoking. Athletic Director Leonard McCracken responded by quoting even more severe regulations in one area school of similar size and added that he felt it was the purpose of the athletic program to make men out of boys as the primary goal, ahead of boasting a winning team. It was decided that the coaches will discuss the matter among themselves before a final decision is made on this particular rule. TENTATIVE BUDGET The board announced a tentative budget in the amount of $1,298,625, which will be passed in thirty days. The new levy will be submitted at the same time. On the suggestion of Dr. Eugene Sayler to include in the budget money for new band uniforms, long overdue, the amount of $5,700 was included, subject to other necessary demands. • The band has been able toiraise $1,500toward uniforms, and the $5,700 figure would make the purchase possible. Two new secretaries were employed for the office, Mrs. Geraldine Johnson and Miss Cummings. The resignation of Mrs. Flint, secretary, was announced. Announcement was made that fimric under the NEDA would be sought for basic skills in the ninth and tenth grades. Richard Swantz, director of special projects, said that to date this year about $8,500 had been received under the NEA. ft was announced that construction of the new high school is about one week behind schedule, but all contractors have now agreed on an / ng. 1,1968 as a completion date. Board members were informed that Donald Blume is organizing the program whereby some students will attend school half days and spend the remainder with local-business firms, where they will gain practical experience. The high school is employing four such people, paying the required rate of $1.40 an hour. 1--Restore it to a point that it can be used as a school, and 2--Spend an estimated $20,000 to remodel iuid lair condition a few rooms for administrative purposes. Next week we hope to present facts concerning similar problems, and hojw they are being handled, in other cities. We also hope to have estimated costs on the restoration of Landmark. With due respect for them?, ay hours of time already devoted to the problem, we trust the board will further consider the matter of Landmark. In particular, we hope they will consider that here is an issue of importance to many! IMMEDIATE REFERENDUMS ARE OUTLINED (Continued from page 1) in 19V 8, referendum in 1975; fourth high school, $10,000,000 needed in 1983, referendum in 1980. LANDMARK DECISION President August Uttich announced during the evening that he thought the board had almost made up its mind to sell Landmark school. When final action is taken, probably at the September meetir^, the next procedure would be to obtain a clear title and set an auction date. Uttich's announcement came after Dr. Eugene Sayler of the high school board suggested that Landmark be retained as a central administration building. During this year, Room 107 will be used for administration purposes, and students who would otherwise have used this room will study at Landmark. Dr. Bergstrom said he was planning distribution of an informative ballot in which residents of the districts might express themselves on whether or not they would be interested in a twelve-month school. Quoting results of such a survey in a Michigan city, the vote was 2 to 1 against the proposition among those with children and the reverse among voters without children. B was his opinion that there would be little difference in the costs of a nine-month or twelve-month school. high school district with $9,00D0O In state aid to the educational fund and $141,000 in aid to local grade schools, allowing District 15 to lower the levy in its educational fund. McHenry Nurse To Head New State Program Virginia Williams Will Coordinate Illinois Project MISS VIRGINIA WILLIAMS Iii spearheading a new stepped- up statewide. program to return inactive nurses and other health personnel to work, the Illinois Nurses' association has announced Miss Virginia Williams, RN, of 705 Center street, McHenry, as nurse coordinator. Offices of the project are in Room 1314-A, 6 N. Michigan avenue, Chicago. Purpose of the new program is to offset the acute need for manpower in health facilities. INA is particularly gearing its program to expand currently available refresher courses and encourage new programs for inactive nurses. About 20,000 Illinois RN's are not actively practicing, and represent a potential boost for overworked nursing staffs if they could be retrained and assisted back into health care. Miss Williams received her baccalaureate degree in nursing from Loyola university, her basic education in St. Anne's hospital school of nursing, Chicago, and has served in a variety of positions in private and Veterans Administration hospitals, private duty andpublic health nursing. She goes to INA from the Lake County Health department with experience in its generalized familycentered services. MARGARET OVERTON Mrs. Margaret Overton, widow of farrtiei--fttayor R.I. Overton of McHenry, died Aug. 17, in her home at 1512 N. Riverside drive following an extended illness. She was 87 years of age. Mrs. Overton was a native of Spring Grove, born there Dec. 18, 1879, daughter of William and Miry Boyle Carey, She was a lifetime resident of the area. Among her survivors is a son, Paul Overton, of McHenry ; three great-grandchildren; five sisters, Mrs. Avis Ritz, Mrs. Lucy Tetlow, and Mrs. .Ada Hoelscher and Miss Bell Carey, all of Elgin, and Mrs. Mayme Scott of Bell, Ctdif. She was preceded in death by her husband on April 3, 1951; a son, Richard J.; two daughters, Mrs. Marguerite Bonslett and Mrs. Gwendolyn Jones. The body rested at the Peter M. Justen & Son funeral home until Saturday morning, when Mass was sung in St. Patrick's Catholic church, with interment in the church cemetery. Musin' & Meanderin (Continued from page 1) of the very old, who remember it from another day,' a number of teachers have spent recent working days at landmark, and some of them have expressed a desire to return. Regarding the building's possible future use for a school, it is a fact that any school constructed before 1955 must undergo a safety survey. Corrections have a deadline date of 1970. Only a study of state requirements, with a follow-if) of the local building needs, would i*eveal the extent of work needed. Landmark has been restored to a reasonable state of repair necessitated by use in recent years. However, state regulations have become more rigid since the tragic parochial school fire in Chicago a few years ago, and doubtless there is still much to be done before these are met. It appears that both the board and other interested persons are fairly well in agreement that if the building remains, an ideal use would eventually be for historical purposes. At present, in view of growing enrollments and the need for their accommodation, this is not a practical answer. Two of the uses most often suggested by those in favor of retaining the building are these: REQUEST CITY ACTION TO BUY AREA PROPERTY (Continued from page 1) cussion and federal assistance under urban renewal was pointed out as a possibility. However, council members questioned the designation of this location being considered Stllstressed area. Sam Leibsohn urged that the council continue to study the proposal, stating that McHenry could profit by the plan in the future. The council showed interest in the proposal, but members expressed a feeling that no commitment could be made without a thorough study. The Council approved Mayor Doherty's appointment of John P. Davis, 47, to the police department. Mr. Davis is a resident of the Lakeland Park area and has had police training, being employed by the Chicago Transit Authority since 1946. Of great interest to the council and many people in McHenry is a report of the special federal census taken the past week. A preliminary report shows fea total population of 5,935. The official count will be received from the Washington office later. Annexations and normal growth brought about an increase from the 1960 total of 3,336. Police Chief Clark and Alderman Pitzen reported on a recent meeting in Crystal Lake in which county municipalities started the wheels in motion to establish an auxiliary police force to be trained in mob control.
