ign dcnooi 10 Feature New Academic Programs The new McHenry high school located on the Crystal Lake road, south of McHenry, will not be unique when it opens only because it is* new and because of certain features in the building; it will be unique because of the many new nMufomic urograms it houses. Within the past two weeks, District 156 was selected by Measurement Research Control from Iowa City, as one of the pilot schools for a fexible modular scheduling program that the firm is currently preparing. Measurement Research center is associated with the Iowa Educational Information center of the University of Iowa uses the Stanford university computer based method of developing a schedule that permits the most efficient use of time, curriculum, and personnel. The program will allow each student to enroll in courses that will suit his individual abilities and educational or occupational scheme. In this program classes are not fitted into a rigid time period, but class lengths vary; thd class length is determined by the number of modules it takes up. A module is a short period of time, anywhere from twenty to thirty minutes. A science course might meet for three modules for a laboratory two days a week, for Church Features Chrismon Tree (Continued from page 1) see the Chrismon tree and enjoy light refreshments. All ornaments are made in white and gold to symbolize the purity and majesty of the Son of God. Any ornament that refers to an event of Christ's life on earth and also illustrates a divine quality depicts the real miracle of the first Christmasthe day that God came to earth in the form of Jesus Christ. This new use of age-old Christian symbols began back in the year 1957 when a member of Ascension Lutheran church, Danville, Va„ was asked to help prepare decorations for the church Christmas tree. With white styro-foam, simulated pearls, gold mesh, sequins, beads, foil, trimmings and miri^ iature white lights she fashioned Greek - letter symbols, and signs of the cross, fish and triangle that directed thought to the true meaning of Christmas. Many members of the congregation participated in the making of the Chrismons, receiving patterns and instructions from Mrs. Charles Whitney and Mrs. William Pinkonsly, Jr. Tipy Sony TV-700U ha? a special black screen that lets you see a picture even out in tyie sun.

Students and faculty can determine the number of modules and the length of time they would like to meet, unlike the old five days a week, one hour a day schedule. CENTRALIZED LIBRARY This innovative program will not be the only feature in the new building. Students will have opportunities to use the centralized library facility in doing independent work. Instead of following along in a rigid pattern, the student will be able to follow up on areas of interest, preparing independent projects and looking into additional information to supplement information given in class. Students will learn in both large groups, where sixty to one hundred students might meet to hear a special presentation on a subject, and in small groups, where ten to twenty will gather to discuss, a special topic or work on a special experiment or project. " Who wouldn't be excited about it?" said Bert Hagemann, head of the Social Science department, in discussing the possibilities in the new building. He went onto add, " we're working with some of the new programs now- team teaching, a resource center, individual learning situations," Mr. Hage- LIVE NATIVITY SCENE DEC. 19 ON CHURCH LAWN Again this year the young people of Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church will sponsor a live nativity scene which will take place on the church lawn. Mary and Joseph will lead the way to the church from down town and the Wise Men and Shepherds will take their place at the manger at the proper time. The community is invited to view this scene in the hope that it may make theHrue spirit of Christmas more meaningful. The scene will be enacted from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 19. mann isn't the only enthusiastic one though. Clarence Anglese, head of mathematics department, sounded just as excited. "We're trying some of the things out already. We have had students sign work contracts, they study independently out of packets to supplement their textbooks, and we have a twoperiod class where senior mathematics students can study their work in depth." The District 156 school board is asking for $550,000 in public referendum on Saturday, Dec. 16. This money is to be used to complete the new high school. If the bond issue fails, many of these plans will have to be cut back and these programs curtailed, and the building will not be properly completed. Musin' & Meanderin (Continued from page 1) Henry folks have an abundance of Christmas spirit. K is evident in the park, where Santa holds regular hours for the visits of local children, and almost everywhere you look. November had hardly been torn from the calendar when we saw the familiar, and very welcome lighted tree in the Fox river, near the old bridge. We like the innovation of Christmas trees which many merchants have placed in front of the parking meters. Even without lights they present a very attractive picture as one drives through the streets. And the gaily decorated tree on the old pumping station is a real treat. All in all, a good many folks have contributed their time, talent and money so that everyone who lives in , or visitq, McHenry will be instilled with the Christmas spirit. K.A.F. Instead of progressive education, maybe a little regressive education would help, such as: 1) clean clothes and a bath every day, 2) no fags or gum, 3) everybody have lesson every day, and 4) keep the board of educati on handy. .

Under this method, annual payments would be $17,427plus 4 percent interest on unpaid balance. After the last payment the Votomatics belong to the county. The favorable vote followed. MENTAL HEALTH The other controversy centered on securing money immediately for the Ycounty mental health needs and resulted in the resignations fifom the Mental Health board of Supervisor William A. Warn, president; Arnold May of Richmond and Charles Stone lot Woodstock. The walk-outs of Ward and Stone came following the morning session, when the finance committee of the board requested airj, extension until January in the release of funds for the mental health program. The successful referendum last April approved funds but they will not to availabel until next June, when taxes are collected. Ward and May had asked for release of funds now by transfer or the issuance of tax anticipation warrants. Ward explained the procedure he had followed on several occasions when he appeared before the Finance committee of the board concerning information on obtaining money and the proper method of handling the matter. EMPLOY .ATTORNEY He said an attorney was employed, on advice from the State's Attorney, and contracts were drawn up between the Mental Health Center and the McHenry County Association for the Retarded. He added that the contracts were drawn and the money was expected on Dec. 1. May cited the great need at this time for assistance in the Mental health program. G. Watson Lowe, who heads the Finance committee, said the previous Thursday, was the first time he had seen the contracts. He stated that $100,000 had been budgeted for mental health, with $17,000 asked for the retarded group and $73,000 for mental health. It was after this declaration that Ward announced his resignation, followed by May and Stone. Several siq>ervisors commented on the fine job done by the Mental health board, asking that something be decided so that they might secure funds now. Later Ward and Stone reconsidered and withdrew their oral resignations. Following dinner , Lowe read a resolution in which it was authorized to issue tax anticipation warirants in the amount of $11,600 for the month of December. The vote was approved by an 18 to 1 vote, the dissenter being Supervisor Edward Buss of McHenry. Buss had previously asked if the contracts had been approved by the State's Attorney, and it was disclosed that they had been neither approved or rejected. Buss expressed himself as opposed ! to returning the matter to the Finance committee, stating that the referendum was passed and the state statute provides that the Mental Health board can ask for 75 per cent. SPECIAL MEETING On a request of Mayor Frances Kuhn of Woodstock, the board approved a special meeting Monday, Jan. 8, one day prior to the regular January meeting of the county board, for the purpose of discussion on the proposed court house. It was announced during the meeting by Supervisor Robert Robinson of Algonquin township that a private party had offered 20 acres of land with sewer and water, located at the intersection of Rt. 14 and Crystal cut-off road, Crystal Lake, as a court site. Magistrate William Gleason appeared before the board to explain changes in the court system in McHenry county. In reference to McHenry, he said the local court did not justify a full day, adding that police here have not asked for court appearance if a motorist is not driving 15-miles-an-hour over a limit. This has now been changed to 21 miles over the limit, provided the arrested drive is not a repeated offender.
