STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Montini's seventh French club. grade Thirty-six students from the Montini sixth, seventh and eighth grades participated in the event. Registered students were given sponsor sheets on which they obtained as many Talent Show Winners Named A student initiated and organized talent show provided a pleasant afternoon of en­ tertainment for the students and faculty of St. John's school. Two seventh grade students, Ann Murray and Cindy Lafontaine, worked with the principal, Sister Antoinette, to organize the talent show which was presented in the multi­ purpose room of the school on Friday, April 27. Many students came forward to display their talents reminding all that talents can best be used when shared with others. Talent in song, dance, instrumentation, acting and oration was displayed. All of the talent was appreciated but several of the students were chosen by the students and faculty as having shown ex­ ceptional talent. Two acts were chosen as the best in the show. Tammy Shastal and Judy Pritchard did an acrobatic routine to the tune of "Baby Elephant Walk" and Ann Murray and Cindy Lafontaine presented their adaption of the comeay song "Camp Grenada". Second place recognition went to Kim Colomer who performed a ballet dance to the DISCIPLINE DISCIPLINE WITH LOVE The word "bad" is a damaging word. It might be well if parents never used it, or the word "good" either. As the Canadian Mental Health association so wisely put it: "There is no such thing as a bad child. There is no such thing as a good child, either. There are only happy children and unhappy children, healthy tune of "Pretty Little Girl in a Pretty Little Costume". Third place honors were presented to Stephanie Kar­ wacki for her piano rendition of the theme from "Love Story". Charlene Krabbenhoft and Patty Sallaz received fourth place honors for a soft shoe dance done to the tune of "Bye, Bye, Blackbird". The show lasted less than two hours but those participating, as well as the audience, will have pleasant memories for some time to come. children and unhealthy children." Truth to tell, much "bad" behavior of children is not bad at all from their viewpoint. When a youngster whoops it up with his friends like an Indian while you nurse a headache, he isn't "bad", he doesn't mean to be mean; it's just that in his exuberance he forgot that you told him to be quiet. Don't holler at him or call him names; instead, send him into another room where he can make all the noise he pleases without annoying anyone. Noise is natural to children. THE EARLIER THE BETTER Discipline must start early, for the tender years count most. This fact has been recognized for centuries, yet how few parents are wise enough to begin guidance and character development in babyhood itself. "I admit", one mother writes, "That when he was younger, we spoiled him quite a bit." Then she goes on to describe her present dif­ ficulties with her six-year-old boy: he's a crybaby, so afraid of the least little pain she can't take him to a dentist; he won't enter a dark room alone;' he frequently flies into nervous tantrums, throwing his arms about and kicking with his ffeet; if he's asked what's the matter, he just whimpers. Too bad this mother didn't know the story of the ancient sage who was asked to supervise the education of the king's son: "How old is your son?" the wise man asked. "He's six," answered the king. "I'm sorry," was the answer. "You've called me too late." No matter how the various authorities may differ on the subject of training, all agree on one point: the early years are the most important. The time when parents -- and society -- have the most trouble with children is during adolescence. That's the age when youngsters refuse to take direction ; they like to consider themselves mature enough to manage their own affairs. You have the early years in which to traifl them, to teach them in­ dustry, self-reliance, honesty, faith in God. Why don't you? But beware of being too much the parent!

Respect your child's right to dream, to be by himself, to grow according to the needs of his own nature. Some parents have a need to assert authority because their parents were very strict with them. And some people, very frankly, just aren't able to set a good example or be very loving. This happens when there are parental conflicts about what good behavior is. Whatever measures you use to obtain obedience from your child, don't bargain for it. Bargains have no place in parental discipline. They don't instill confidence and they are emotionally expensive f™- all. A child must be loved for himself. Then he knows he counts as an individual. He feels sound and strong. He can do things. And he will! But the child who always has to earn love feels unsure of his worth and so lacks the self-confidence needed for accomplishing things. Don't be too fearful about making an occasional mistake. What really counts is your love. A truly loving, nonpatronizing parent can afford to make an occasional mistake in dealing with his children. It's inevitable anyway. Everyone makes mistakes. Don't brood over it. Love soon sets things right again. So don't be afraid to exert a firm, strong, and restraining hand. Children backers as possible for as much money as they would pledge per mile ridden. Three prizes were awarded. Ten dollars for top place went to Linda Koffend, who rode the greatest number of miles ~ 76. Second and third prizes of $7 and $5, given for the amount of money earned, were awarded to Kevin Moehling, who earned a total of $218.62 and Dan Nye, who raised $182. The marathon, believed to be a first for McHenry, consisted of a one-mile figure-8 formation behind Montini Middle school. It lasted 7,/2 hours. Jeff Nellis, teacher at Montini who sponsored the event, had hoped to raise about $500. He was pleased with the performance of the young people in topping this figure by such a large amount. need a lot of freedom, but they also need a lot of guidance. As long as they know your heart is with them, they'll love you no matter how much you correct them. % Deaths SHIRLEY R. JENSEN Mrs. Shirley R. Jensen of 100 E.
