SHE RULES A VILLAGE (Continued from page 1) At 19, this tiny wizard on sakes turned professional and taught throughout Illinois for the next eleven years. She produced one juvenile national champion and numerous state champions. In some way, over the past two years, Rose Lillegard managed to jot down a column on activities of her village for the Plaindealer on a weekly basis. Wednesday morning, Rose turned over her pen to another; she placed her clerk's books in the hands of a new office holder; and she put her skates high enough on the shelf that they will not be a temptation when she runs into the tough problems of running a village. For the next four years the sign reads "Rose Lillegard, Village President," pledged to carry out her goal of "working for the well being and health of my community". Resident Of Hotel Found Dead In Hall McHenry Police were called to the Riverside hotel, 3308 W. Elm street, Tuesday morning about 7:10 a.m. when it was reported the body of a man was found lying in the hallway. Upon arrival at the scene, police were informed by the custodian, Milton Clark, that DISTRICT 156 APPROVES SALE OF WARRANTS (Continued from page 1) these athletes during off-season or summers. Swantz replied that the issue is whether or not the school should have a code. He said there are many problems without a code and some problems with one. He noted that coaches of both schools had approved the recommended code. Althoff recalled that the old code called for a year's suspension for this violation and commented, "This is better". At this point members decided to withhold a vote on the code until next month's meeting. When the bids met specifications, low bidders were approved for athletic while making his morning rounds he had found the body of fifty-eight year old Frdnk J. Hoppe, a resident of the hotel, in the second floor hallway. Police examined the victim and could find no signs of life. Coroner Theron Ehorn was called to the scene and made his investigation.

In approving the bids, Member Catherine Alvary noted that she was not satisfied with the small amount of money allocated for use by girls, who represent about half the student body. Supt. Richard Swantz said efforts were being made in that direction. He cited as an example a banquet held this week honoring coaches of girls' sports as well as of boys' ac­ tivities--a "first". Following a review of bids to supply annual auditing ser­ vices, the board decided to employ the same auditor as in the past. He is Donald Bark, whose bid was $2,800. Five bids were received, two of which were lower. One of these did not qualify, and the board felt that the institution of new procedures would bring the other bid to as high a figure INSTALL JUNIOR FORESTERS - Pictured above are the newly installed officers and directors of the Junipf^oresters of St. Agatha Court, No. 777, Johnsburg.

The superintendent asked the board's reaction to allowing a controversial speaker on campus. He explained that it was a representative of the John Birch society. The board agreed with the provision that he speak only for the Political Science classes rather than an all-school assembly. Mrs. Alvary recalled that the request for controversial speakers a few years ago had caused a problem. She said she felt it is important that the board has control over these invitations to speak. A change in the calendar was approved to allow free days both May 26 and May 30. The extra day remains among unused snow days for the year. Similar action was taken by District 15, McHenry, and Wonder Lake. It allows the observance of both the national and state Memorial day holidays. Eighty students were present from East campus to hear one of their group, Richard Talbot, read a report on a new con­ stitution for the school. Details of this report will be carried in a future issue. Supt. Swantz noted that such a constitution makes students feel a part of the school system Mrs. Lea L. Murphy was employed as Home Economics ii structor at East campus to replace Mrs. Mary Anne Pelle, who will be on leave after April 25. Althoff was reelected president and Neumann, secretary, at the reorgan­ ization meeting. The board agreed to retaining the same schedules of meetings, on the first and third Tuesday of the month.

Journalism Competition National Recognition For Johnsburg Students In the 1975 Columbia Scholastic Press association individual writing contest, articles written by Johnsburg Journal students received first places in several categories. The Journal is a school newspaper written by the Journalism students of Johnsburg Junior high. First places were won in the categories of news, feature, sports,and editorial. The Journal had more first place articles than any other school in the country. The highest rating it could attain is "All Columbian", for which the local newspaper will be striving over the next year. Among those who received individual recognition for articles was Jim Tafel, who won first place for his sports article about an injury to a Johnsburg basketball player. Scott Dixon earned a first place for his editorial on freedom of the press. Dixon and Curt Ames co-authored an article for the Journal con­ cerning their interview with Governor Daniel Walker,and received a first place in the news category. Barb Ansell, Patti Harker and Diane Weingart placed first m the future category for their story on the creator of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. The Journal is published every three weeks, written, compiled and edited by the journalism students. The board of education, administration, teachers and many citizens have expressed the feeling that the Johnsburg community is fortunate to have so many talented students. Regular readers have been impressed with the maturity and responsible judgement shown by these young men and women increating their ar­ ticles. Their recent achievement was added to honors accorded to Johnsburg athletes and music students.

Her 86-year- old husband, William, escaped from the burning home and was taken to Harvard hospital by the Harvard Rescue squad for treatment of burns. The Victim was taken from the burning house by Mark Hetter of Walworth, Wis., who saw Mr. Hutchinson stagger from the smoke filled house calling for'help. The McHenry County Health department will offer free vision and hearing screening for all children ages 3 to 5 in the Johnsburg area. Parents of children in this age bracket are urged to register April 23 and 24 from 9- 11:30 and 1-3 at the Johnsburg elementary school. The actual screening will be held at the Johnsburg Com­ munity club May 20 through 23 from 9-11 and 1-3. When they register, parents will be given instructions on how to prepare a child for the screening. Those who are RECENT TARGETS OF BURGLARS (Continued from page 1) Taken from the home were seven boxes of 22 caliber rifle ammunition, two cases of beer, a bottle of liquor and about seven dollars in change. When Emanuel Macaluso of 9019 Memory Trail, Wonder Lake, returned home from work last Wednesday af­ ternoon, he discovered his home had been burglarized. Entry was made by breaking the glass in a front door. Taken were twenty-two silver dollars, a man's and woman's wrist- watch, wedding and engagement rings, $225 in currency and several old coins. Money and jewelry with a total value of $800 were taken from the apartment of Jean R. Petrov at 4506 Garden Quarter, McHenry, sometime last Friday evening. Entry was made by forcing the lock on the front door. About $90 in cash was taken from a cash box in the home of William Wiser, 5508 N. Fox Lake road, McHenry, sometime Monday. Wiser discovered the burglary when he returned home from work Monday afternoon. Entry was made through a rear door which had been forced open. Neighbors reported having seen a youth at the home during the day. Through investigation the identity of the offender, a juvenile, was determined. He was taken into custody and most of the moeny was recovered. The matter was referred to juvenile authorities and the youth was released into the custody of his parents. unable to register may call the chairman, Mrs. Dewey L. (Bud) Lytle. Instructions to the young child in what to expect on screening day are extremely important, but walk-ins on screening day are welcome. Many vision and hearing impairments can be corrected if detected at an early age. If the child fails the screening, referral will be given for a professional examination by an eye specialist or hearing specialist of the parents' choice. Parents are urged to take advantage of this service of­ fered by the Health department and register pre-schoolers for a -free vision and hearing screening. MUSIN" AND MEANDERIN" (Continued from page 1) responsibility that we feel lies with government at some level. Ten days ago our City Council passed on a request of the County Health department to contribute a sizable amount for a county shelter. Perhaps the aldermen will give this matter further consideration. We hope so. We arfe certain of one thing, that some of us who are assuming other people's responsibility in the area of animal care will be doing just that! Notice of a rally to demand an immediate start of work on Rt. 120, between Draper and Greenwood roads, has been called to our attention. It is set for next Tuesday at 10 o'clock at the Woodstock city square. The idea of action, after years of promises, is comen- dable. What we wonder is how "immediate" this action can possibly be when more than twenty property owners along the highway were named in a condemnation suit made public only within the past three weeks. K.A.F. BENEFIT PROGRAM Fox Valley Christian school will benefit from gospel singing at the First Baptist church, 509 Front street, McHenry, Saturday, April 19, at 7:30 p.m. Participating will be several gospel groups, Revealing Faith, New Hope Singers and Gospel Harmony Singers.
