He offeree? his opiit- "#pns about forming a mosqui? to abatement, district which would make each property and -home owner responsible for his share of the cost. It is too late to form such a district this year but we should all give it thought for next year. Mr. Heilgeist stated that with the response he has received :,.he feels quite sure the mosquito abatement program will be farried through and we will ave a mosquito free summer. We want to thank him for the time and effort he has put into this program! • The entrance light at Route 12 was again discussed. The bids the association has received to have the light installed were all too expensive, so we are going to find out how similar subdivisions have (^one it for less. Wally Misavice is now our police commissioner and plans to have a meeting with the deputies soon. It was stated at the meeting "that all cars parked on the roads, that is cars parked at a spot constantly and stationary, will be either towed away, for which the car owner will have to pay the charge, or will 0e pushed off with the bulldozer. Wilson reported that to black-top our roads and bring them up to fcounty specifications, it would cost $50,000 which is out of the question. ,t The social and bake sale held at the community center Sunday afternoon brought in a total of $50. We wish to ^hank Floyd Johnson and all --Whe many women who baked .. cakes, coffee cakes and bread to make the social and bake sale a success. Mr. VanZevern reported that he has decided on a design for our vehicle tags and has them on order. They will have serial numbers and should be here shortly.

They report that we are now in an A rating fire ^district which should make our fire insurance lower. These men were also sellinng tickets to a dance to be held April 12 in Johnsburg at the hall. The proceeds from this dance will e used to purchase equipment, uch as smoke masks, which the district does not furnish them with. So let's see a good turnout for this worthy cause. THE McHENSY PIAINDEALE& Seventeen grade mothers will be the hostesses for the meeting. Sea Scout Jtiews The Sea Scouts are going to have a bake kale in about two weeks. The boys are going to sell the bakery goods from house to house, taore details later. Right now the boys are hard at work on their whale boat, under the careful guidance of their skipper.

Our Schools (by Classroom Teachers) Honor RolT The Junior high school has recently established an honor roll system. This was done for two purposes, to give recognition to those students wfio do above average work in their studies and to encourage those who could be doing better work in school. The system works in this manner. After the report card is made outsat th^end of the grading period, therriome room teacher averages the gracjes the student received during that grading period. If the student received a 2.5 average he is placed on the "A" honor roll. If the average is 2.0 he is placed on thie "B" honor roll. The basis of this system is determined by allowing 3 points for an "A", two points for a ""B", one .point for a "C", a minus .one for a "D" and a minus three for an "E". The names of the honor roll students are then given to Mr. Brunswick to be arranged on the honor roll card, which is then placed in the main hall of the school, for all students to view, which they do with much interest. Listed on the honor roll for the fourth grading period are Sandra Berkley, Kathy Hubert, Valerie Peterson, Chris Levesque, David Armit, Kathy Leibach and Susan Marchi, sixth grade; Karen Kittredge and Susan Prawl, seventh: Peggy Marchi, Carmen Anderson, Bob Beckenbaugh and John Boyle, eighth. There were twenty-four on the "B" honor roll in sixth grade, sixteen -in seventh grade and nineteen in eighth. What Size Is Your Dinosaur? Throughout Edgebrook school numerous examples of projects correlating to school subjects are in process. In the' back of Mrs. Ward's third grade class is a colorful mural on dinosaurs Of various shapes and sizes in their prehistoric setting. The detailed work expresses the childrens' interest and creative ability that were stimulated by their social studies activity. 1 The artists who contributed to this .masterpiece" were: Sandy Minters, Ricky Looze, Sandra Lindgren, David Carlson, Carol Erickson, Roy Pasternoke, Karen Anderson, Mark Alderson, Tommy Evans, Kit Carsten, Dorothy Conrad, Tifti Wirfs, Terry Morrison and Sam Koffski. Those giving reports on the different dinosatirs are: David Carlson, Mark Alderson, Sandy Winters, Terry Morrison, Wayne Kidd, Ricky Looze, Kit Carsten, Dale Woods and Tommy Evans. You can see by this mural that science, art and language are related by one theme. Student Council Promotes School Clean-Up The student council of the McHenry Junior high school formed a committee to find out why and how our new school gets so dirty and how we can clean it, and keep it clean. Tiina Kerrberg, the council president, will head the committee. -- ' 5 . and Peggy Marchi were appointed to the president's cabi-4 net • ..A ; Sandy Passalaqua, repreK sentative from 8A, was ap/- pointed to find if it was possible to have a'.suggestion box and where could we put it if we got one.
