PAGE 20 - PLAINDFALER - FRIDAY, JANUARY 20. 1978 J Drama Club In Performances It looks like this thief (Tom Alvary) has everyone in the bank under control except for Oliver (Brady Anderson in the back.) On their knees are Jenny Fossum. JoeKost. Lori Robertson and Brad Smith. The outcome of this hold-up^ in "Anyone Out There?" seems obvious. Performances opened Jan. 19 at 8 p.m. at West campus, starring members of the East campus Drama club, and. continue Friday, Jan. 20, also at 8. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE (iAYLORD SPECIAL SCHOOL BOND VOTE ASKS $2,900,000 (Continued from page 1) Althoff, William Dodds, East campus principal, said the privileges were limited to those with a "C" or better average. Nell noted that a 2.0 average isn't much incentive and indicated this would give privileges to the average student. After more discussion, the board agreed these privileges should be given only to those with a 3 or 3.5 average. In other action, members voiced their support of a nrnr\Ar t Mo intononno. Custodial organization plan to effect a savings in operations. Previously, the board took action to eliminate two custodial positions totaling $14,000 and one maintenance position for $12,000 beginning next year. The administration was asked to find someone expert in boilers and air conditioning to fill the new post. It was noted that $30,000 in boiler repairs were made at East and $150,000 for compressor repairs at West during the past year. On the recommendation of the administration, the board voted to employ the services of t h e u n e m p l o y m e n t compensation management firm of R E. Harrington, contracted by the Illinois Association of School Boards to provide control service for its member districts. The cost will be $628 the first year, and less in the future. The firm will trace claims from information supplied by the business manager of the local district. There was agreement that the district should be governed by the 1 percent Tax Rate method rather than the Reimbursement method under the Illinois Unemployment Insurance act. The Insurance committee recommended this option as best suited to the local school situation. Under the Tax Rate method, the cost would be $14,300, and under the other option, $20,000. The firm of Donald E. Bark, CPA, was accepted to again perform the district's audit. The cost was estimated at between $3,250 and $3,550 compared to last year's estimate of $3,i<re.45. Although the firm was employed, there were two negative votes. Nell said he would like a new viewpoint occasionally on the audit. Neumann said he voted against Bark for personal reasons. A report of the discussion at the joint meeting of three local schools boards concerning possible unification was made to members who had not attended. Mrs. Alvary noted that little progress was made because of lack of interest expressed for the proposal by Wonder Lake members. (A complete report of the unification meeting appeared in Wednesday's issue of the Plaindealer). With only one negative vote, cast by Nell, approval was given to paying $31 for the services of election judges employed for the special election. The board acknowledged the pledge of support by the Chamber of Commerce in the amount of $200 for the Alternative school. The resignation of Sue Althoff, an aide at East campus, was accepted. Henry Nell left at the end of the business meeting, asking that his letter of resignation be read to the board at the conclusion of the session. During the meeting, he indicated he had been in school board work for many years and believed he was "gettin stale". Nell said he felt mayf it was time to turn over his position on the board to someone with new ideas. The board member, who previously served in Grade jchso! District 15, also ssid hs questioned whether he might be losing his credibility with the public. Nell then thanked the board and public for the support given to him. Other members expressed his resignation as a real loss and termed him "an outstanding member".

TWO LANCER REQUESTS HAVE COUNCIL O.K. (Continued from page 1) ordinance for McHenry was sent back to committee. Alderman Elizabeth Nolan reported to the Council that bids had been received from local firms regarding a sound system for the Council chambers. The low bid received from Tones for $2212.19 was unanimously agreed upon by the Council to be accepted. The Council also voted to purchase thirteen new chairs for the chambers, at a cost of $114 each. Also to be purchased > are six folding tables. Alderman Harker, chairman of the Water and Sewer committee, reported to the Council regarding an agreement to pay Orville Freund of McHenry $1200 to cover damage caused by a backed-up city sewer. Alderman Smith questioned the ability of the committee to determine the amount that would be repaid. "The committees are beginning to get out of hand," said Smith. Smith continued * that although he had no reservations about paying the $1200, he thought that the committee was trying to conceal the fact that the money was to be repaid. Harker answered, "No attempt was made at concealment." Harker stated that the committee felt the city had a moral obligation to pay for the damage caused because the back-up was in the city's portion of the sewer. Smith continued by saying that he thought the committee acted improperly and should not have determined the amount to be repaid. Mayor Stanek explained that although the city probably had no legal obligation to pay for the damaage, it felt that there was a moral obligation to pay. He added that the paying for damage will not set a precedent. "Each case in the future will be judged on individual merit." The Council voted unanimously to pay the $1200 when it voted to pay all bills. Alderman Schooley stated that the Street and Sidewalk committee had ap ordinance in the making Regarding the parking of cars on city streets during snowfall. Superintendent Meyer presented a check to Alderman Bolger, president of the Library board, for $100 from the Riverside Athletic club. Alderman Schooley made a motion which was unanimously passed by the Council eliminating parking on the south side of Route 120 between Route 31 and Green street in front of the funeral home. Alderman Bolger, speaking as president of the Library board, spoke to the Council, expressing appreciation to all people who not only donated money, but also time to the development of the library.
