Which has hosted Girls State for many years. In this setting, cit­ izenship training will be offered to 525 girls who are juniors in high school from throughout the state. Attendance affords the girls an opportunity to live together as self-governing citizens. They learn by assuming the duties and responsibilities, as well as the rights and privil­ eges of citizenship. The purpose of Girls State is to provide training which will assure that they better under­ stand and participate in the functioning of government.

Desks, tables, chairs, etc., for East campus were approved in the amount of $3,200 from Carroll Seating Co. A new mem­ ber, Edward J. Neumann, ques­ tioned the necessity for buying these items now when the cost comes from next year's budget. After it was explained that the best bids are received at this time of year, there was unan­ imous approval. Following a discussion, members voted to allow ex- nuns or ex-priests to be em­ ployed by the school system if they are certified. In studying the problems of the McHenry Choral club, which was unable to meet a rental cost in excess of $180 for the auditorium, President Althoff said he approved the program and on a motion of a new mem­ ber, Howard Weiss, seconded by Neumann, a $95 rental was approved retroactive to cover the past year. The rental will be acted upon each year so that future boards will not be com­ mitted to a particular figure. It was announced that the sex- education course, "Who am I and Where am IjGoing?" will continue to be presented by Principal Richard Swantz. In other action, a request by girls of West campus that a physician be invited to speak on the sub­ ject of venereal diseases was allowed If no cost is involved. On a request by a McHenry school to look into the possi­ bility of the district receiving a fair share of state income tax, the board agreed that the administration should investi­ gate the matter. Harvey Ahitow presented his report on the growth of the adult education program, from 517 students in thirty-six classes in the fall of 1967 to 927 students in fifty-six classes in 1969. The spring 1968 term brought out 372 students to twenty-seven classes compared to 826 stu­ dents in fifty-eight classes in spring, 1970. It was announced that the school pool will be closed from June 6 to 21 for repairs ana cleaning.

Mayor Doherty, who has made every effort to resolve the prob­ lem, reported that he had at­ tended a meeting of the board of directors of the Country club to present a list of sugges­ tions agreeable to the Allen avenue group.

SUNDAY'S SERMON Our World Admittedly, much is wrong ilte world today. But, this is nothing new. Our world has never been perfect. Sin is as old as the Garden of Eden. Tempta­ tion reared its ugly head even in the life of Christ. ' In early days, Christianity struggled against the forces of oppression and tyranny, a con­ flict still taking place in some areas of the world. To be a Christian -meant to place your life in danger -- to invite suffer­ ing, even death. Today, the enemies of Christ­ ianity do not wield the sword. Today the enemy is that modern citizen whose words and actions spell out the theory that "God is dead." Today his cohort is the indifferent citizen who concerns himself not with the good or the bad, so long as he is not person- nally involved or concerned. To­ day his helper is apathy on the part of good men; men who be­ lieve in right against wrong but will no! become involved in the struggle against militant forces dedicated to destruction and cor­ ruption^. Christianity, of course, will survive. But that "good world" of peace and brotherhood shall never come until good men rise up to meet the challenges of the times. wimsuits go pectacular Get in the swim of things and make fashion waves too!
