j>G. 2, - PLAINDEALER - WED., MAR. 6, 1968 Famous Siister Appears In Fin^ Arts Series Blue -- Gold Banquet Scene Sister Mary Gregory, O.P., -chairman of the Speech and .Drama department of Rosary .college, River Forest, will be the featured speaker at the only night program of the year presented by the Woman's guild of the Fine Arts association of Woodstock in their Creative Living Series. Sister Gregory will speak of "The Three Faces of Eve", her concept of women in our society of today, on Thursday, March 21, at 8:30 p„ m. in the Opera House on the Square. Sister Gregory, steeped in the value of a good educaion, received a bachelor of arts from Iowa university and a master's degree from Catholic University of America. Not content to stop here, she studied further at Columbia university and Cashman studio in New York. The world of the theater knows her well for the wonderful help she has given them. She was the technical advisor for the New York production of "The Sound of Music" and personally coached Mary Martin in "I Do, I Do". Sister Gregory has served as consultant for several productions on and off Broadway and in 1964 Grandma Sez ft's always been plum amazing how kids imitate their elders. The best things that can happen to a kid is to have a good example set for them, by a couple o' good parents. No need to be on the kids' backs every minute, if they've been brought up in a happy home, with the firm^hknd of sensible, lovin' parents, administered wisely once in a while, when needed. What worries me is that kids imitate the wrong things their parents do, as well as the right things. Once in a while, you see kids grow up and do better than their folks, but it isn't usually the cage. I never, in all my life, heard o' sech goin's on like there is these days, with so many young- McHenry Girl Among Practical Nursing Grads Seven area residents were feted at a recent graduation tea sponsored by the Oak Forest Hospital School of Practical Nursing. The group was honored by th^ staff upon completion of ttie schooPs orfe-year, state-approved training program. Included in the student's curriculum were, courses in pediatrics, care of children, mother and newborn children which was conducted at St. James hospital in Chicago Heights; medical and surgical training taught at Little Company of Mary Hospital in Evergreem Park; and classes in geriatrics, the care of the aged held at Oak Forest hospital. Completion of the required courses make the graduates eligible for state board examination for state licensing. Included in the February class of graduates was Miss Dianpe Sinicin, 5612 N. Bunny avenue, McHenry. uns gettin' into such bad trouble. Why, when I was younger, little kids were in bed, or at least in the house at dark. They wereit't allowed to run the streets till all hours. Kids were kids until they was 18yearsold, at least, and parents had a good check on them until they got out of school and got a job on their own. Then they paid room and board, so as to help their "Pa" out. No wonder they get into so much mischief nowadays. Another thing that bothers me is the mothers workin' to pay the keep of these kids. If they do earn a few dollars they expect to keep it, instead of learnin's that it takes earned money to feed them and give them a home. I never saw younguns with so much money 0" their own, in my whole life, and somehow, it don't set right with me. Somewhere, someone has made a big mistake. How else is kids goin' to learn how to handle money, if they don't learn when they are growin' up at home.
