7 On The Sidelines With Dick Rabbltt u P 0f ?* ? ,d fedora is in order for Coaches Hutcninson and Kyle for the work of their Cross Country Squads. The Varsity wound up with a record of 15 wins and 1 defeat, and the sophs went undefeated in 16 meets. Warrior fans would like to see two more victories in the coming week. Tomorrow the North Suburban Conference meet will be held at Randall Oak's in Dundee and on Tuesday the District meet at Crystal I^ke. Fremd of Palatine the state's top rated team will compete in the Crystal Lake District. The "Running warriors will be running against the best in the state. Gary Hosier a former Warrior, had his greatest night me"!ber ^e Northern Illinois "Huskies". The 6'3" . mor wide receiverhad 8 receptions good for 108 yds. and scored the Huskie's first touchdown. The Huskies went on to defeat Marshall College of West Virginia 20 to 17 Saturday night in the West Virginia citv. The proud parents Monte and Dorothy still are loyal Warrior fans, and never miss the opportunity to watch them play, as long as it isn't in conflict with a Northern game. The Warriors had plenty of backing Saturday at Barrington. Two busloads of students, plus numerous cars I were stretched out down Rt. 14 on Saturday afternoon. They came to see a good ball game, and they were not disappointed. John Leighty had his pep band there, and they sure pepped up the Warrior fans at the game. Those few in the band I m sure actually outplayed the entire Barrineton High School band. Sitting next to me was the father of the Barrington fullback. He was quite impressed with the play of the Warriors. As the game progressed, he became more enchanted with the Warrior defense. He mentioned that both players and fans thought it would be Barrington in a walk away game. Like any fan who saw the game, he thought it was a real head knocker. Probably the largest crowd in recent Barrington history, forced many of their fans over to the Warrior side. Although they were rooting for the Broncos. I'll admit they appreciated the fine play of the McHenry team. In reading area newspapers Coach Bill Graham of Barrington has been quoted as saying "penalties cost his team touchdowns". It is too bad that conference officials don't view game films. It was obvious that on Barrington's first touchdown a clipping penalty by a Barrington player was overlooked by an official. Not undermining officials in any way, they can't see all the infractions. The official on this play was no more than 5 yds. from the infraction. With 4 officials on the game, and each with a responsibility, it seemed that the official just plain "blew it". The play in question did not make the difference in the outcome of the game, but it sure made a difference in the Warrior game plan from that point. I just hope that Coach Graham's Barrington films showed the same violation, and maybe he won't be quite so quick on his post game remarks. Tonight is a big night at McCracken Field. The dads get to sit down on the field, and observe the game from a coaches view. They will have a number corresponding with their son on the playing field. Mothers will have a special section in the stands and will be introduced at pre game ceremonies. Let's all get out to the game tonight and give Mom and Dad a big hand when they are introduced. It should be a good ball game and a Warrior victory. Parent-Teacher Conference You've been invited to confer with your child's teacher. Is your first reaction "What has my child done wrong?" In all probability, he has done nothing wrong. Our schools today are relying more and more on conferences to supplement pupil progress reports and other written forms €),f ^communication between parents and teachers. Teachers realize that they cannot do the best possible job of educating each child without the help of the child's parents. The parent can supply information about the child that could be very useful to the teacher. And the teacher can offer suggestions to parents on how they can help with the education process at home. The best way to discuss such matters is an informal face - ;to - face meeting. It gives both you and your child's teacher an opportunity for full exploration of his progress, his behavior, and the reasons behind his successes and failures. Is your next reaction un­ certainty? "What should I ask? What will I be asked?" Or do you put the whole thing out of your mind until the moment of the conference, letting the chips-fall where they may9 The teacher 'will spend considerable time preparing for the conference - gathering records, samples of work, and his own thoughts about your child You, too, should prepare for the conference by knowing what to expect, and then follow up with action afterward. Here are some suggestions for making your next parent - teacher conference successful. Once you have responded to the teacher's invitation, you should prepare yourself in the following manner: Decide what you want to ask the teacher. Discuss the for­ thcoming conference with your child to see if there is anything he would like you to talk about with the teacher. Check with your spouse and decide which aspects of your child's schoolwork are puzzling or worrying you. Ideally, both parents should attend the conference. Do you have any gripes or complaints? Now is the time to get all the facts about a school situation you may only know about second­ hand Determine what you can tell the teacher about your child. The teacher sees only one side of your child. There may be things you know about the child that could help the teacher better understand him. Get a babysitter if you have young children. Don't bring either the school child (unless specifically requested) or younger brothers and sisters to the conference. They may not only be disruptive, but they may also repeat what they hear Be on time. Write down the time of your appointment and arrive promptly. The teacher may have other appointments after yours. Ask the teacher how you can help at home with any problem areas. Jot down notes at the conference or immediately after If you forget about the con­ ference when you leave the school, it isn't likely to have any positive results. The most important part of your role in the conference begins now. Discuss the conference with your child First, point out his strengths Then talk about the areas that need improvement. Start immediately on any action you have decided to take. Did the teacher recom­ mend books for you or your child to read*' Did he suggest a better arrangement for studying at home? Did he propose getting outside help in a special area? Begin at once to follow through with the plan you and the teacher decided upon Feel free to call the school if you wish to check on your child's progress or if you think another conference is needed. Teachers generally value such interest on the part of parents. Make certain your child understands that you and his teacher are working together in his interest. He should know that you and the teacher are in partnership, with the sole aim PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER- Flnding Security In Retirement ACTION and the Small Busi­ ness Administration are combin­ ing to sponsor the Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE).

OF NEW BRIDGE General Telephone Employees Report Company's Offer General Telephone has been notified by Union officials that its service, construction and supply employees rejected the company's offer for a new two- year contract. Members of Locals 51 and 702, International Brotherhood of Electric Workers, turned down the contract by a substantial margin, according to union officials. Larry K. Henry, director of personnel , for General Telephone, said if ratified, the nearly 1,900 installers, repairmen, construction, and supply employees would have received pay increases averaging 11.7 percent during the first year. He said increases would have averaged 52 cents per hour, with some employees receiving as much as 77 cents. He went on to say benefits, including a 25 percent increase in pension, another paid holiday, improved insurance plan, and increased board and lodging allowances, would have added another 4.2 percent to the value of the package. According to Henry, the parties agreed to meet October 21, 1974, to discuss the basis for rejection.
