Mtuin and Meanderin (Continued From Paj^ 1) V] morning, but if the weatherman ^ thinks we're going to get up that • early to give a hearty welcome to the approach of winter he's going to have to provide something better than 50 degree temperatures. And speaking of cold weather, there are going to be two boys who find the trip to school each day a long one without bikes. Local police report that two red ones have been at the city hall, without owners, for some time and they would be happy to find homes for the vehicles. We ^ realize there are weeks honoring almost everything, from dill pickles to hats. Just the same, as a' lover of man's best friend we can't help issue a reminder that this is National, Dog Week. Experts in the . field of dog care tell us this is a good time to explode some of the fallacies such as the one that raw egg white makes a dog's coat shine or that milk makes worms and potatoes cause skin rashes. Feed him cooked corn, rice and potatoes occasionally, even cooked fish --bones and all --and above all milk, says the expert we quote. Personally, we would throw out those bones and substitute a good bit of affection for one of the most loyal creatures on earth. NAME CHAIRMEN FOR HOSPITAL ^ FUND DRIVE f -- y r (Continued from "Page 1) FOUR GENERATIONS PUBLIC INVITED TO INSPECT NEW JUNIOR HIGH (Continued From Page 1) continued to take in new territory as the need arose. District 15 District 15 history will also bring fond memories to old timers who recall the mslny changes since division of the districts after World War I. The grade district included only McHenry until the early 'twenties, when the Sherman Hill area west of the city was added. Later came the Lincoln area in the Pistakee Bay region, and in the late 'forties a general consolidation took place which took all grade schools into the district with the exception of Wonder Lake, Ringwood and Johnsburg. The late Ben Adams inaugurated the first bus service after the Sherman Hill pupils were admitted to the district and this, like the high school project, has -continued to grow. Post-War Growth Throughout the years, all grade! pupils were educated in the old Junior high until the early fifties, when the sudden post-war growth made board members aware that a bond issue must be presented to the public. It was in the amount of $300,000 and met the approval of voters, resulting in the erection of the original portion of Edgebrobk, a beautiful structure which serves the educational needs of youngsters through fifth grade. An addition requiring $200,000 was completed about two years ago, after which the board was forced to make plans for providing more space for the older students. Following the passage of a $600,000 bond issue, the new Junior high was begun, marking the last^, step of an extensive expansion program which is a credit to the cooperation of the voting public of two McHenry school districts and the foresight and untiring efforts of board members through the years.
