OF JOHNSBURG SCHOOL DISTRICT 12 by Duane Andreas, superintendent of Johnsburg School District 12) The fine voter turnout was gratifying Saturday for the purposes of deter fining whether to form a separate unit district and build a high school. This certainly is democracy in action and the participation of Johnsburg citizens that culminated in this fine voter turnout and the necessary tasks that needed to be ac­ complished in conjunction with the total concept has been exemplary. Among the above mentioned tasks were citizens who gave many hours for the purposes of the feasibility study chaired by an outside consultant. To mention the approximately forty citizens of this study would be too lengthly, however, the chairman and secretaries of the different committees follow: State and Legal Aspects committee, Harry May, chairman; Jacquelyn Elliott, secretary; Enrollment Trends committee, William Huemann, chairman; Bobbie Hart, secretary; Finance committee, Dr. Robert Stanell, chairman; Arlene Cahill, secretary; Facilities and Transportation, James Williams, chairman; Deanna Price, secretary; Educational Programs, Gerald Sobiesk, co-chairman, Donald Wolf, co-chairman, Georgette Sobiesk, secretary. The original petition was filed with the Superintendent of Educational Service Region by a Committee of Ten citizens. These citizens were very in­ strumental throughout the total study and presentation of the facts to the public. These citizens were Charles Boak, James Preston, Mrs. Robert Stanell, Bobbie Hart,. William Huemann, John Clark, Thomas Cahill, Berne Clary, William Dtivis and Gerald Sobiesk. From this Committee of Ten, a citizen chairman and secretary were elected who were Bobbie Hart and Charles Boak. The citizens also elected the same two people to chair efforts to preseat the in­ formation to the pubic, which culminated in the vote Saturday. Certainly the foresight and wisdom of the present John­ sburg board of education will be greatly appreciated by- citizens of the new unit district Legal Notice IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE 19TH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT, McHENRY COUNTY, ILLINOIS IN THE MATTER OF THE ) PETITION FOR THE ADOP-) TION OF TAMARA LYNN ) THOMPSON, a female child ) NO. 75 F 172 TO: ROGER THOMPSON Take notice that a Petition was filed in the Circuit Court of McHenry County, Illinois, for the adoption of a child named TAMARA LYNN THOMPSON.

Aug. 13,20,27, 1975) in the future. The members of the present Johnsburg board of education are Charles Boak, Bobbie Hart, Robert' Hurckes, Elmer Pflug, James Preston, Steven Petrov and Mrs. Robert Stanell. Citizens who worked with the administration, board, and Committee of Ten during the past few weeks to disseminate and communicate information . to the public are too numerous to mention. However, it is common knowledge that this was a citizen effort - yoy know who you are - and the fine cooperation and efforts beyond what is generally asked for in preparing for a vote of this type definitely should be recognized. From the start the general consensus was that it would be an uphill battle because of the present economic situation. It was discerned that perhaps some differences of opinion would be generated. This is a democracy and such dif­ ferences are legitimate. Hopefully, these differences can now be minimized, and the whole McHenry area can work together for the best interest of the high school pupils. The Johnsburg ad­ ministrative staff worked untiringly throughout the past few months and now must make the total plan a reality and a success. The present administrators of Johnsburg Public School District 12 are Kenneth Falkinham, business manager; J. Vanbosch, principal, Junior high school; H. May, principal James C. Bush elementary school and Ringwood school; Scott Seaborn, principal Middle school; and Mike DeWolfe, director Pupil Personnel Services. At two celebration parties Saturday evening and Sunday evening, there' was special praise among citizens and board members for Mr. Falkinljam and Mr. May. When the school and the community are united by a common concern - the desire to help each student grow and develop to their fullest potential - it is ideal. We are close to this reality. We in education want each child to succeed and we do Wonder Lake Mary Jean Huff 728-0267 School Board Approves Contract For Tennis Fence There will be tennis courts in Wonder Lake.

It really makes one feel good when citizens show a willingness to cooperate with the school and to work together for a common cause. I em­ phasize that the cooperation will be reciprocal, with the administration cooperating with citizens to suit the needs of their students and the type of high school they want. This was the largest voter turnout ever- approximately 450 voters more than the next largest voter turnout. Be assured that we do appreciate each and every contribution since the study began last December, and culminated in over thirty neighborhood coffees and numerous general meetings during the past month. The attendance at the coffees and general meetings were generally very good, and Holiday Cards Are Offered By Home-Aid Group "Our Christmas cards are in the mail, are yours?" is the question that Glencoe resident.
