Schools Face Overcrowding As the Fall term opens in a few weeks, parents and students are alerted to the knowledge that both high school buildings will be facing crowded conditions. Robert Swartzloff, principal of West campus, and Gary Fields, East campus principal, have reported maximum use of available classroom space through the school day. Both administrators, however, assure that this is only a temporary problem since the withdrawal of Johnsburg students in two years will result in a reduced high school enrollment in McHenry. In the meantime, the high school must face the challenge of providing education for both McHenry and Johnsburg students without adding needed facilities. The administration points to one aspect of the crowding problem as the necessity for providing study areas for students who are not assigned to classes at West campus. They estimate that the West building has available study space to accommodate about 125 students. Even after an effort was made to schedule juniors and seniors into a maximum amount of class time, an average of about 325 students are not enrolled in classes each period of the day. West campus administrators have announced a solution. Students who are not scheduled into classes will have a variety of study options available in the building. These include the use of a study area, a resource- testing center, or the library. Also, students and teachers will be encouraged to schedule conferences during free time in an effort to individualize in­ struction. Another option will be to allow students - to leave the school building providing they have parent permission. In addition to requiring parent permission, students who leave school must meet academic and attendance criteria which shows they will be responsible in their use of free time. Finally, the school has established expectations which students must follow if they leave the building. If these expectations are not followed, students will not be allowed to continue to leave school durijgg non-scheduled class time. The plan is proposed as an answer to the problem of inadequate study space in the building only as a temporary solution. West campus educators are concerned that the community understands both the details of the solution and why it is necessary to implement the change. Anyone with questions is urged to contact Robert Swartzloff, William Dodds or Greg Johnson at 385-7077.

(DON PEASLEY PHOTOGRAPHY BY KAAREN DODGE) This is fair time, and like moftt other vacation activities it brings friends together for reminiscing as well as fun and learning. The Illinois State Fair in Springfield has its start lliursday, Aug. 12, and many of its features will reflect changing times. For instance, when fair-goers arrived in Springfield for the first fair it was in October of 1853 and they paid a twenty-five cent ad­ mission fee. Lotting only four days, the highlights were as different from 1976 as the price to get in. Prize^ were offered in categories that included best ox yoke and best portable grist mill. " We recall the State Fair as an annual outing for our family. Another lasting fair memory is our first ride on a roller coaster and the terror that ac­ companied what must have lasted only minutes but seemed an eternity. Roller coasters have stood the test of time, as cotton candy has, that delicious, frothy treat that ^most compensated for the fright of that awful ride. So vivid are the recollections, we never again sought the thrill of being transported skyward, then suddenly to the depths. But the candy remains a delightful reminder of a kid's day at the fair. Through the years, the number of acres has expanded from 20 to more than 350. And it wasn't so long ago that the fair was cancelled for four years, from 1942 through 1945. Does anyone remember? It was when the fairground was used by the Army as a supply depot.
