SECTION 2 - PAGE 2- PLAINDEALER • WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12,1975 rP /sfr/c7"^^^p3ote^ McHenry Community high school has twenty separate class offerings in the Business Education department. Courses range from Consumer Economics, which is required for all students, to Introduction to Data Processing, which teaches students how to operate computer equipment. The McHenry high school Business Education curriculum allows students to be trained in high school and to assume quality jobs immediately after graduation. Each year, the Illinois Office of Education sends represen­ tatives to school districts to evaluate the vocational programs offered in public schools. The 1974-75 evaluating team stated that the McHenry High School vocational education program "could serve as a lighthouse example for the vast majority of Illinois secondary schools." Of particular quality are the cooperative work programs which are offered through the Business Education depart­ ment. The state ^evaluating team rated the McHenry cooperative programs as "superior." Cooperative work programs primarily operate out of West campus and they involve the placement of students in community work experiences which relate directly to classroom learning. Over 200 West campus students are placed in cooperative jobs this year. East campus also places students in "learning by doing" jobs in the community. The Independent Study In Com­ munity Service program, better known as ISICS, will place between sixty and 120 students in service positions throughout the school year. In many cases, the East campus students serve as aides in the elementary schools or in the hospital. Starting last year, several students worked in the District 156 superintendent's office as part of their com­ munity service assignment. The Westflpampus Business Education staff identifies as one of their strengths the use of an individualized learning approach in helping a variety of stu^gatSLWith different abilities to become employable. In future plans, they hope to continue to increase the high school's emphasis on vocational education and student placement in jobs. The East campus staff is already accomplishing one of their future goals, a resource center for individualized student work. On a limited basis, students are able to use business equipment on their free time to perfect skills in­ troduced in the classroom. This resource area is supervised by teachers when they are not McCullom Lake Geri Milbratz 385^543 Many Children Awarded Prizes In Costume Contest No doubt about it, this year's Halloween party was the best ever. Well over 125 kids at­ tended, plus many parents, too. Master of ceremonies for the evening was the talented Bill Walter, who did a great job of announcing and entertaining those present. There were four age groups in the costume contest and judges for the event were Mrs. Bee Brown, Frank Kurth and Allan McKim. In the 0-4 age group, winners were Sue Gleeson, third place, Todd and Tara Parks, sharing second, and first prize went to Nicole Curran, a one year old angel, who was completely unmoved by the whole thing. Of the 5-8 year olds, Laura scheduled into classes during the school day. In a time when more than 50 percent of our students are seeking employment im­ mediately after graduation, McHenry high school points with pride to a program which helps to train young people in skills which make them more employable. Lively took third place, se6ond was Mike Templeton, and Jimmy Gravely won first prize. Shelly Yates won third, Gary Wilson second and Danny Bitterman won first prize in the 9-12 year old group. In the pver 12 group, third prize went to Randy Wright, second to Dennis Jordan and Bruce Kalk, and the first place winner was Lori Wilson. Mrs. Brown, Mr. Kurth and Mr. McKim also judged the pumpkins and awarded prizes for the best ones to Bobby Raycraft, (0-4), Andrea Rowe (5-8) Laura Huff and Maureen Caron (9-12 and Steve Huff) 13 and up). With so many good costumes and pumpkins, the judges had a hard timet, choosing the best ones. Refreshments of hot chocolate and marshmallow treats were served and the kids also enjoyed bobbing for apples and going through the spook house. Although i some of the apple bobbers were immersed in water, almost to the waist, trying to capture an apple. And many kids came screaming or crying out of the spook house. There were many things inside to frighten them. Towards the end of the night, the gorilla escaped from the spook house, and rampant, yelling and chasing everybody, scaring the already scared youngsters even more. When the refreshments were gone, the apples all bobbed for and the spook house visited and re-visited, the evening ended, with everyone agreeing, it hau been a good party.

THE LAST, AT LAST Well, this is it! After many threats and warnings, I'm finally really quitting and this is my last column. Writing the column has been very satisfying for me, and I know I'll miss it, but I feel it is best to quit, now.

The bus that picked up children by Angie's now picks them up at Sheridan and Valley View and turns on Short street to Rt. 120. The reason being to stop the kids from running back and forth on Rt. 120 while waiting for the bus. A permanent stop and route will be determined at the next village board meeting.

United States are being asked ^) to write to* their Congressman and ask that Resolution 611, requesting that square dancing be designated as the National Folk Dance before Bicentennial year 1976.

RTE. 120, McHENRY, ILL 385-4100 A&m 39.60 A new era in home climate control begins About forty-five years ago, scientists began developing a revolutionary heat­ ing device that uses the heat of the earth's atmosphere. They called it a heat pump. Today, it is the only commercially available heating system that provides an answer to shrinking supplies of fuel oil and gas. How the heat pump works. Basically, the heat pump moves heat from one place to another. Using elec­ tricity to run the device, it extracts heat from a limitless source--the heat in out­ door air. During winter, enough heat remains in the air--even on the coldest and cloudiest days--to be extracted by the pump and transferred indoors as clean, flameless heat. And during warm weather, the process automatically. - reverses, removing excess indoor heat and humidity--like an air conditioner. Better efficiency* In short, the heat pump does the job of both a furnace and an air conditioner. But there's an important difference. The heat pump produces more than 1V2 units of heat energy for every unit it consumes. That's better efficiency than any other current heating system. Itfc ready. It's ideal for new homes because it won't be obsolete in ten years. It's not depend­ ent on the fossil fuels that may not be available in the future. To the homeowner, that means significant long-term savings on heating costs. The heat pump is a big step in the conservation of scarce fuels. And here in northern Illinois, the electricity you would use to capture the heat comes mainly from coal and nuclear energy, rather than scarce oil and gas. To get the full advantages of the heat pump, it's important to get a quality prod­ uct, properly installed and reliably serv­ iced. For the name of qualified installers in your area, call G. W.
