THE NEW SCHOOL "Dear Sir': "I would like to urge the voters of School'District. 156 to vote "Yes" in the Bond Issue referendum on Oct. "M). I realize that it would be an impossibility for the high-school board to come up with a proposed site,, building, cost and other, factoi s which would please every yoler in the district 'completely. However, I belive the time has come when we must ail look at the broader aspects of the situation and try to forget about some of the objections we have. "The education of our children has always been foremost :n most of our minds and. therefore, becomes very controversial. However, it has always been the American way to eleel school boards composed of our neighbors and to entrust them with vital responsibilities such as new construction, hiring of teachers, selection of the curriculum and many other decisions which affect the children in our community. The school board has put in many hours of work together with the administration, the architect, the faculty, and others, and feels that the proposed building is a fine building which can be constructed at a reasonable cost to the taxpayer. Not a single member of the school board will attempt to convey the impression that this is the perfect building and will not cost anyone money. Rather, the new building represents the culmination of many ideas, be n'lade. many compromises, and many tough decisions which had to "There is no point in trying to deceive the public -- this building is going to cost the taxpayers some money, although the cost of 11 cents per $100 of assessed valuation over a 20-year period is not exorbitant in the- opinion of most people. However, if the cost were two or three times as high I cannot think (if a more important thing in. the world today than our children's education, and I do not believe that the children of the McHenry area should have facilities which are any worse than those of neighboring communities because I think our children are just as deserving as those in Crystal Lake, Libertyville, Barrington, or any other nearby town. I sympathize strongly with those people in the area who are on fixed incomes and who sincerely feel they cannot afford another increase in taxes. I have talker! to many of you personally and know that it must be pretty l'ough to pay more for everything while your pensions, etc., remain stable. All I can say to yilu people is that I hope somehow you will realize that this school is for the children, and appeal to your sympathy, as I have no logical way of asking you to spend money which you don't havd. "I believe that all available i n f o r m a t i o n h a s b e e n , o r w i l l be, distributed to the public but if anyone has any questions concerning the bond issue I would hope he would call the school board or the administration and I am sure he • will- receive a prompt and COUItonus reply. "All of us realize that no comnmnily is better than its schools, and if we are to progress as an enlightened and modern community we must have proper education for our children. Any time a school bond issue election comes up there are always numerous valid objections, and this is no exception. Again, I would like to urge those who have objections on one or more points to try somehow to overlook Ihom for the good of the McHenry area and its children. "Respectfully yours, "McHenry Area Chairman" "McHenry Area Chirman" THE SCHOOL ISSUE "Dear Editor: "Anyone, even remotely interested in our present high school, does not have to look very far to prove to himself that there is a real need for more room. Therefore, need for new facilities "should not be a question in the present bond issue to be put to the people of the school district 156. The board of education, having been defeated on this same issue once before, has virtually changed nothing in presenting this bond issue for the second time. They have done nothing to rectify the main objection of the public after suffering their first defeat. So how can they expect to win this second time around? "Location was a big hassel during the last referendum. It was true then and still is that the last three surVeys, paid for by the school district to educational people on these survey teams, indicated that their best judgment" was to build another complete plant somewhere north of the city of McHenry. There aren't very many good parcels of land north of McHenry on good, high, dry ground. There are some, but the sanitation problem of 2,000 students has turned the school board to give this problem to the city of McHenry. They have eliminated this location problem by purchasing the original site of the first, bond issue, out of current funds. "Curriculum was another big question during the last referendum. Splitting up the high school, so to speak; a 2-2 system instead of a 4-4. Put all the freshmen and sophomores in one school so we can keep the lid on tighter and all the juniors and seniors in the other school for the same reason, or was it because we wouldn't need more labs, or duplicate facilities? When you have twice the student load, you're going to duplicate facilities and the number of labs somewhere. Has the board of education looked harder at this objection? Have they really dug into it again, or relied on their original evaluation, to see if maybe the public would rather have two complete schools? "Transportation was another big problem, has been, and will continue to be. For years parents have complained about over-crowding in the busses and that many students have to wait until the busses return from their first run. These students roam the. town and in bad weather have to fend for themselves as best they can until their bus arrives. Splitting the school district instead of splitting the school would seem to improve this' transportation problem. If the north half of the school district went to the north school and the south half of the school district went to the south school (present building), bus routes would undoubtedly be shorter and more compact. Of course, twice the student load would mean more buses. I hate to figure out the bus runs with the 2-2 system now under" consideration. " , "The school district's valuation also came into discussion during the last referendum not so much as to how much was to be the . increased tax rate, but the fact that the greater per cent, b/ far, was collectable from ciitside the city of McHenry. All you people living outside the city of McHenry will be paying for something you really aren't sure you want, as presently presented. Another high school within a half mile or so from the present one doesn't even sound logical. Each of these four very important points, plus others, to one degree or another, influenced a great enough part of the public to defeal this bond issue last time. Now, without any apparent changes, the high school board exepcts this same group of people to go along with them without any consideration to their past wishes. However you feel, be sure to vote Oct. .",0. "Henry C.

The rumors you've heard about a .couple of new Volkswagens are true. There they are, on the right. The rumors you've heard aboul the beetle biting the dust are false. ! There it is, at the bottom of it all. We're calling the Volkswagen on top the Fastback Sedan bccause the roof has kind of a nice slope to il. It .holds five in style. We're calling the Volkswagen in the middle the Squareback Sedan because its roof has no slope at all. It holds Five, too. With less style, maybe, .but with more extra space than most iiedans, even great big ones. looks aside, the Fastback and the Squareback are identical cars, and as Volkswageny as can be. Their engines are a touch more powerful than the beetle's, but still in back and still air-cooled. And they have a few advanced features of their own, like disc brakes in front, which most cars don't have yet. The Fastback and the Squareback offer o little more room and crlittle more power for a little more money. * Thp Fastback will set you back $2226* The Squareback, $2381 r So if you want a Volkswagen that doesn't look like a Volkswagen, it will cost you a little more.. The Volkswagen that does look like o Volkswagen will still sell for about the same old price:. $1671* And it will still have the same old look. But it's actually the newest car of the lot, there are 23 changes for 1966, all inside. The biggest change is that the engine is 25% more powerful than last year. (It makes a surprising difference in pickup with no surprising difference in mileage; you car?still count on about 29 miles per gallon J The other 22 changes do what Volkswagen changes have always done.- they make the car work even better and last even longer. And they don't do what VWchanges have never done: they never make it go out of style. We know that this system works for the beetle, it is the 6th best-selling car model in America this year. We hope that it will work out just as well for the Fastback and the Square-' back, too. Because we don't intend to change their looks every year, either., We went to a lot of trouble to make all the new Volkswagens as good as they are. We hope you'll have a lot of trouble' deciding which one to buy. mmmmmmmmmmm WSBSSSm The Fastback. msmmtmmmm The Squareback.
