Mrs. Terese Thompson, co- president of St. Mary's Home and School, announced that the annual Call fashion show pre­ sented by St. Mary's every Au­ gust will take place as usual this year. The newly consoli­ dated schools will take over in September of 1970. Another purpose of this meet­ ing was to select new uniforms for the coming school year for the consolidated schools. The uniform committee consisting of Chairman Mrs. Kathy Porter, Mrs. Shirley Nye, Mrs. Joan Weber, Mrs. Barbara Byron, Mrs. Marilyn Miller, Mrs. Marcella Dixon, Mrs. Joan Lar- kin and Mrs. Jean Thompson, presented two choices/for un­ iforms which were modeled to the memberships by two boys and two girls. After a ques- tion-and-answer period be­ tween the audience and the Un­ iform committee, a vote was taken and a choice was made. The uniform for girls,grades one through six, consists of a white, long or short sleeved blouse, cranberry and gray plaid jumper of dacron and or- lon, gray knee socks or leo­ tards, gray cardigan sweater and matching plaid head scarf. The sweater and scarf are op­ tional. For the boys in grades one through six, the uniform will be a white, long or short sleeved shirt, gray trousers, cranberry and gray plaid cross-over tie and cranberry cardigan sweater. The sweater is optional. There will be no school emblems on the uniform. The uniforms will be purchased from the Parochial School Un­ iform company in Chicago.

Any part of the above men­ tioned uniforms may be pur­ chased from the Uniform com­ pany. However^ boys'gray trou­ sers and white shirts may be purchased elsewhere as long as the color is right and the shirts have the correct collar for the cross-over tie. Also, . the girls' blouses, knee socks and leotards may be purchased locally as long as the socks and leotards are gray In color. A period of two years will be allowed in order to wear out the present uniforms of the schools. The question arose as to what could be done with the old uniforms that are still wear­ able. Mrs. Porter of the Uni­ form committee reported that they had looked into the matter and found that the inner-city schools in Chicago will gladly accept any of the old uniforms to distribute to their children. Everyone agreed this would be an excellent idea. It was announced that the name for the new consolidated schools will be Montini Cath­ olic school. John * Coughlin, president of the consolidated Catholic schools, reported that it was suggested by Fr. Eugene Baumhofer to name the schools after the family name of Pope Paul VI, which was Montini. Much discussion was held by the board members and other names were suggested. When the final vote was taken, Mon­ tini was selected. The board felt the schools should have one name so the children can iden­ tify with one school instead of different names for each school. Coughlin said there are many programs to be worked out and when the board is established, all parents will be welcome to attend meetings and present their views. He said "This is a democratic function and the board was elected by you peo­ ple. We are trying to do what we think is best for both schools. If anyone has any suggestions or would like to have any ad­ justments made, we will try to accommodate them. The next board meeting will be held May 20 and all are invited to attend." Mrs. Patricia Coughlin then presented gifts of appreciation to the secretary and treasurer of the present organization, Jo­ anne Granger and Marie Lind- quist, who have been in office for two years. Sr. Mary Paul, principal of St. Patrick's school, was also given a gift in appreciation for her service to the school. She is being transferred to another city.

PILOT FOOD PROGRAM IS ADOPTED (Continued from page 1) lunches and return to pick up empty containers, it is felt these duties could be handled by re­ arrangement of job assignments of present employees. It was recommended that the cost of Class A lunches be in­ creased from thirty to thirty- five cents. This increase would allow the school to pay for the new equipment and changes in the building during the begin­ ning of the third school year. Three alternative proposals were considered and rejected. All of them carried costs es­ timated well above the plan selected. The authorization of tax an­ ticipation warrants not to ex­ ceed $200,000 was made by the board of School District 15 last Tuesday evening.
