Uttofedaf, Audi 1. 1961 IBB McHENHY PLAIMJEALER Page EbvA- 5 UNDER 21 A column lor teen-agers By ban Halllgan DEAR DAN: I'm writing about the letter that appeared In your column sometime ago from the mother who protested that married (and expectant mothers) girls should not be Allowed to attend school. Being a high school senior and also being engaged, I would like to tell of our school's policy. Any married student is allowed to attend our school. However, these sttidents cannot take part in any activities, such as clubs, class parties, proms and the like. These students are only allowed to attend school for the education they re- ||ve. If and when a married girl becomes pregnant, she to drop out of school. If her husband is a student, he, too. must quit school. Married students are also asked to leave school if they start telling other students too much About married life. Any unwed girl expecting a baby must also drop out of school and boys who are known to be unwed fathers miist 4lso drop out of school. --' Since all of the foregoing was new at our school this year, many of the kids didn't like it in the beginning. However, most of the students now approve, except for one part-- married students not being allowed to participate in comjr^ iceraent exercises. The students who disagree with this last rule believe thAt commencement is more of an achievement than a privilege. All in all, our policy is working out great and is favored by a large percentage of the kids. Thinks, Dan, for letting me tell of our school. -- A Student. J . DEAfc STUDENT: Yotfr school has aj good policy but it do^sft't go far enough, I believe. Maybe it's tny stubborness but I think >a teenager attends high 6$ho61 for the education beirig offered by the faculty members, thus, I don't think any married student should fie allowed in .high school. I'm not nwaning to state a married student is *bad", but I do know » influence he or she would have, inik>cently or not, over younger and unmarried sttidents would be considerable. Such married student* should complete their high school education by correspondence course or In a night school where older people would be classmates. I think it's pretty bad when a teen-ager can't finish four years of high school without having to run out and get married in the meantime. Parents who allow their teen-agers to get married just for the sake of being married, are Unwise and silly. If a shotgun is Involved In the marriage, then the boy and girl involved don't belong in high school with q£piilrried kids. DEAR DAN: I'm 14 now but when I was 13 I went steady for six weeks. Then I got my report card and when I saw my marks I gave the boy back his ring. I think I'm too yourig to go steady and that I should get boys off my mind and concentrate more on school. Do you think I'm all right about what I've written? -- Pony Tail. DEAR PONY TAIL: I sure do! You'll never be able to completely get boys off your mind but if you keep school in the No. 1 position and boys second, you'll have no worries. ^^DEAR DAN: I have a friend, who is 18 and is separated Iron her husband. They just couldn't get along even though they tried for nearly a year. My friend moved back with her parents two months ago and would like to start dating again but she doesn't know if this would be proper. Would it? She doesn't know whether or not she'll divorce her husband. -- A Friend. DEAR FRIEND: Of course, It wouldn't be proper. Regardless of her age, your friend is married and any dating 1 she would do would fall into the classification of "running around." I'd like to see her and her husband really give their marriage a trial. FORTY-ONE OH HIGHEST HONOR ROLL AT SCHOOL The honor roll has been released at the McHenry Junior high school.

The most severe wind storm of the present spring season visited this - section about 9 o'clock, Monday evening, when a number of telephone wires were torn down and large tree branches scattered about; however, it was accompanied by a nice rain which was badly needed. The storm cost John L. May a perfectly good purse containing sixteen dollars in money. John was up town when the storm broke and while running to the Park hotel, where he stayed, dropped his purse and the wind did the rest. Just about that time the power went off and it was all off fts far as recovering his loss was concerned. A man stood at the foot of a telephone pole in the Robert Emmet playground in Austin just before dusk last Friday evening, looking upward. On the cross trees was the body of a boy, his head in the singing wires. The man was Thomas Watlihg, father of Mrs. Roy Hankermeyer of McHenry, and the boy was her brother, Robert Watling, 18 years old. Young Watling had climbed the pole to witness a handball game and in the excitement forgot the danger and his head touched a wire. His untimely death brought grief to many friends here, where he was a frequent visitor.

COMMUNIST GOALS ARIJ EXPLAINED IN JAYCEE REPORT This is the second in a series of articles prepared by the McHenry Jaycees on. the subject of communism. This week they review some of its goals. Goals of Communism The Communist Party, U.S. A., is exulting that it has received a renewed lease on life. The first concrete action of the revitalized party has been a tremendous expansion in the field of propaganda. At the same time it is concentrating on its plans for renewed expansion in other areas. New campaigns of infiltration are being readied as pressure tactics are intensified. Only recently a party organizer speaking before a party meeting indicated that the party must revitalize its industrial concentration program, and that this meant an increase in party activity by industrial clubs and an increase in party study programs. Another party leader emphasized that it was most important for the party to have its members in heavy industry, in the steel mills and in shipyards. Youth Participation Another member revealed that the youth of. America is to be the object of intensified communist effort. This party leader indicated that the Communist party intends to concentrate on teen-agers and to influence them through use of concealed members, particularly those in church groups and civic organizations. Still others emphasized the need to develop young leadership and to place young party members in unions. Another, speaking of plans for the future, was more than satisfied over the fact that membership in a campus youth group which was subject to corhm u h i s t manipulation had recently Quadrupled. Party members thtoughou't the nation have been working intensively in still another of many areas. Their purpose has been to exploit protests against continued testing of nuclear weapons and to secure a ban against such tests. Proposed plans to achieve their aim include the infiltration and Influencing of reputable organizations and the circulation of phamplets, leaflets, petitions and news paper advertising. High on their priority list of infiltration targets are minority groups, created for sound, legitimate reasons and fofr the advancement of worthwhile causes, serve as magnets to communist action. It id in such areas that the divisive tactics of the communists become most effective. Disunity Division and disunity are communist weapons. The communist capacity to exploit every problem is limitless. Thfc red hand of communism intensifies racial division while pretending to strive for equality. It pits race against race, worker against manager, and group against group. It muddies the waters of peace while shouting, "Coexistence!" The tactics of communism do not change! Hypocrisy, guile, deceit, and subversion are the hallmarks of communism today as they vCfcre yesterday. Here in America every walk of life has been infiltrated by the fanged salesmen of subversion clo a k e d in the lamb's wool of glowing promise. The prophets of (Communism in America, both those in the open and the infinitely more dangerous concealed co-conspirators, are as false, as hypocritical, as merciless,- and as deadly us their Russian counterparts who started on their evil route a little earlier. These false prophets of 20th-century America, emulating their foreign masters, sow their dragon's teeth of dissehsion arid future slavery among the innocent, the ignorant, the gullible, and the indifferent. And how are we to identify them? In next weeks article w6 shall discuss "How Communism works". N CITB PACfc 961 Cub Scout Pack 361 had its final meetiiig at the Methodist church last week Tuesday, when plans were made for the annual outing, a trip t6 Milwaukee to see the Cttbs= Braves play ball.
