This program was given an okay, and also night school classes which also would require no expenditure. It was pointed out that with available air conditioning, the school should be used as much as possible. Creative writing was announced as a full semester class rather than1 for half a year. Teacher conferences are scheduled for April 2 and 3, when classes will be dismissed at 1:30.

They also said absenteeism was higher than at ten or eleven surrounding schools. The school principal of this Detroit suburb of 20,000 has suggested a study be made to determine why the program failed. He gave facilities and financing as possible factors, adding that cutbacks in money a year ago hurt even more. The principal was the second to serve under the modular scheduling which went into effect in Troy four years ago. Mr. Swantz said reaction to the new system in the approximately 150 to 200 schools throughout the country where it is in effect, has been generally the same. -Most, he said, . feel that academically, according to~ standardized tests, there is not an appreciable difference between the old system and the new. However, he is enthusiastic when he refers to the basic premise, which is to teach responsibility. Admitting that it is a departure from conventional patterns of the past, he points to numerous instances in which he feels students have demonstrated their willingness to accept responsibility. Mr. Swantz said in his opinion it has been "very successful, educationally speaking, for the first year". In order to obtain the view of students, faculty members and parents, plans call for acquiring the best professional assistance available in order to- present a questionnaire which is helpful to school administrators in the future. Mr. Swantz hopes to have the questionnaire answered before the close of the present school term so that evaluation can be made. He is confident that school has been made more meaningful and enjoyable for students and hopes that answers to the questionnaire will bear out his assessment of the program. Occasionally a community is saddened by the death of one whose absence will be generally mourned. Just such a death occurred this week with the unexpected passing of Fr. Leoj The Petersen's abode isn't humble ! but their heating bill is. Less than *200 ayear for clean electric heat. When Wally Petersen built his split-level in Deerfield six years ago. he vis convinced that only one kind ot heating system would gi \ e him the most for his money .. .electric heat. Plenty of people told him he'd be sorry later, but they couldn't change his mind. . 0\er the \ears. Walk's judgment has proved to be perfect. Because toda\. he heats his home tor less than S200 a year.. .and he and his wife aiiree the\ have the most modern heat there is. Convenient heat, that Wally can turn 'way up in the bathroom on a cold morning. Clean heat, that Wallys wife Joan says has it all - over the kind of heat they had in their previous home. And most of all, heat that isn't out of line with the Petersen budget. Electric heat isn't out of line with your budget, either.

As an active and enthusiastic participant in several interfaith services in McHenry over the past year, he became known and loved by hundreds outside his own parish, where he long ago won his way into the hearts of his " flock".

Red Cross Quota Set At $3,500 The McHenry county chapter of the American Red Cross has sent out an S.O.S. to support their services and the servicemen by contributing to the campaign for- funds now under way.
