i}. \i tyW '*$&*% THE McHENHY TEACHER INJURED IN ACCIDENT TO RESUME DUTIES . Probably the happiest nevte of the week is that Mrs. Ruth Oonk of Ringwood will agaih this fall be occupying the teacher's desk which she was forced to relinquish after an auto accident two years and a half ago. It,will be remembered that Mrs. Oonk suffered a broken back in the accident and has been confined to a wheel chair ever since. For many months after the accident in the winter of 1955, she was forced to give up her duties as teacher and homemaker for a husband and two daughters. However, she has responded well to treatment and for more than a year taught in the school opened in McHenry by the local chapter of the Cerebral Palsy Association. Last fall she instructed nine pupils with the opening of the new term. When school closed in May, Mrs. Oonk sought to resume regular duties once more and the Ringwood school board employed her as instructor of the first four grades. " , Before her accident, Mrs. Oonk had taught at schools in McHenry and Wonder Lake, where she was loved by the many children who benefitted by her excellent teaching and pleasing personality.
