Rev. E.F. Hoban, auxiliary bishop of Chicago, who will visit the Johnsburg village tomorrow to preside at Mass on the first day of the three-day jubilee for St. John's Catholic parish. This festival is in celebration of the 85th an­ niversary of the parish and the silver anniversary of the church. Rev. William Weber is pastor. Being handy with tools and as a pastime during the winter, John Claxton, who resides east of McHenry, has made himself a violin. The wood used was imported from Czechoslovakia. It took great patience to achieve the requirements of a real violin in tone, finish, etc., but Mr. Claxton was most successful. A most important event will take place in the life of Rev. Walter Knox Conway, C.S.C., on Friday, June 24, at which time he will be ordained into the priesthood at Sacred Heart church, Notre Dame, Ind. On Sunday, June 26, he will say his first solemn Mass at St Patrick's church in this city at 11 o'clock. He will be assisted by Rev. William O'Rourke, Rev. H E. Ouimet of Elgin and Rev. J.J. Hackett of Fulton while the sermon will be preached by Rev. Bernard Mulloy, C.S.C., a Holy Cross father from Notre Dame. Thos. A. Bolger, well known farmer of the township of McHenry, was appointed to membership on the tax review board by Judge C.T. Allen. Mr. Bolger succeeds John H. Higgins, whose term expired. The Bolger selection represents the minority political party on the review board. John Conley, chairman of the board of supervisors, becomes chair­ man of the board of review. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of June 24, 1937) The McHenry county board of review organized at Woodstock Monday with Frank E. Beck of Harvard, chairman of the board of supervisors, as chairman of the review board. Other members include G. H. Stewart of Harvard and George A. Nelson of Crystal Lake. - Many farms in this vicinity are changing hamtethis year and new owners, many of them wealthy Chicago business men, are becoming residents and property owners here. Not so the E.A. Thomas farm, however, which has been owned and occupied by only the Thomas family since it was taken up from the government in 1840, ninety-seven years ago. E.A. Thomas, now on the farm, represents the third generation to have been raised there and his two sons, Everett and Walter, are the fourth generation to reside there. The general opinion among those who have followed the • tread of thought since the death of Judge Edward D. Shurtleff is that Governor Henry Horner will not call a special election to fill the vacancy in the seven­ teenth judicial district. j However, a late report is being circulated that he will call such an election this fall. In ? McHenry county the names of >' several prominent lawyers have been mentioned as can­ didates, the same being David * R. Joslyn, Jr., and Charles H. Francis, former member of the legislature. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of July 3, 1952) Mr. and Mrs. Gus Unti, their daughters, Mary and Eva, and their son, Gus, Jr., are the envy of two-week vacationers this season for they will leave soon on a three months' trip to Europe. The Untis leave their Green street home on Monday, July 7, by car and expect to arrive in New York two days in advance of their sailing date, July 12, aboard the U.S.S. Constitution. The family car will be sent on the same ship so that they will have no travel worries abroad. The Untis will arrive at Genoa, Italy, on July 21 and will proceed north to Lucca, where many of their relatives reside. Lucca is a large city surrounded by a number of small communities and it is in this area that most of their family lives. ' County officers were elected last week by the McHenry county 4-H council, which is made up of one club member frorif each 4-H club in the county.

Replacement of the bridge west of the tracks will not take place at this time, contrary to original plans. Instead of two culverts, one large, 6 x 50 foot culvert will be installed to allow the H.H. Mass farm to retain the cattle pass under the road. A new cultural enrichment program has been initiated into the public school system of McHenry this summer and has attracted large numbers of young people from the public and parochial grade schools of the community.

JUNE 22, 1977 McHenry Highlights Close Shave Stopping in an unfamiliar bar­ ber shop for a shave, the young bachelor took a fancy to the manicure girl and suggested din­ ner and a show that evening. "I don't think I ought to," was her shy reply. "I'm jnarried " "Why don't you ask your husbcnd," the lad suggested. "I'm sure he wouldn't object." "Ask him your­ self," she shrugged. "He's shav­ ing you!" FACTS FROM MCHENRY COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL West Campus Offers Learning Option for 1977-78 A group of seventeen teachers and administrators at McHenry high school West campus have been working since last November to develop flexible learning programs for some students. Until the beginning of this school year West campus was run on a flexible modular schedule. Starting in the fall of 1976, West campus changed to a more traditional program. This program has met with a great deal of success for many West campus students and staff members. However, some students and staff felt very limited by the traditional scheduling. They felt they needed more flexibility in how their classes met. These frustrations with the traditional program led to the develop­ ment of a new learning option. Starting in the fall of 1977, some classes at the beginning and end of the school day will be offered on a flexible basis. The students' schedules will not look any different than a traditional schedule, but it is inside the class that changes will be possible. In order to participate in the flexible program, teachers must submit a plan to the committee and the ad­ ministration. The teachers' plans will outline the flexible schedule they plan on using for the students in their class. This flexible option will allow teachers once again to use the different phases of instruction which were familiar under modular scheduling. It should be noted that selection of courses to par­ ticipate in the flexible option and the students who would be allowed to enroll in those courses was watched very carefully by the Optional Planning committee. It would be likely that no student could have more than two of his or her classe£*in the option. The West campus staff and administration are looking forward to success and sound learning possibilities for the students involved in the flexible learning option.
