Have You Seen?. at the Historical Museum (by Gwendolyn Donner) Have you visited the Music room at the McHenry County Historical museum at Union recently? Did you take a good look at the west wall? Oh, we know there are a lot of things in that room to see--the melodeon, the clavichord, the organ, which is certainly a reminder of bygone days, and the piano. These are big things you cannot miss. But that west wall should not be missed either. For it brings to mind McHenry county citizens that have been a great credit to the area and is something that brings pelasure to us when we look at the songs that paper it. Most of our people in this area are aware that the hymn, "In the Sweet Bye-and-bye", was written by Dr. Bennett at Richmond, with the music composed by J.P. Webster of Elkhorn, Wis., but I am sure a great many people do not know that some of the popular music that has remained popular for many years also came from county people. Do you ever whistle "Pretty Baby"? Egbert Van Alstyne from Marengo wrote that as well as one that is even better known and that has lasted longer, "In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree". Copies of both, as well as his "Cheyenne", decorate the west wall. I will list a few of the other songs: "Take Me Back to Home" and "Mother" by Ar­ thur W. French, published by Phil A. Starck of Harvard; "The Humming Bird", both words and music by Maude Curr, who also wrote "Fleeting Shadows". She was from McHenry. There is also "A Home that I Love" by Chas. Jeffrys; "Raymond Caprice" dedicated to her nephew, Raymond, by the composer Retta Darren. And surely everyone knows "Down by the Old Mill Stream" by Taylor, not only written in the county but about a place in the county. Some of the music on exhibit shows pride of individual locality--"Dear Crystal Lake, We Hail Thee", "Woodstock Guards" by Ella Herman, "Woodstock on Parade" by Lee Kortemeier. There are two floral songs, "Briar Roses" and "Old Lilac Tree" by Mabel O'Cock; and two songs that I Courthouse Squares 'i I i l I remember my mother singing "Will You Love Me When I'm Old?" by Paul Theans and "For I Know She Is Thinking of Me" by S.E. Atkinson of Woodstock. But everything is not popular music. There is "Life Awakening" by Josie Curts and also hers is "Voice of God". So have you seen that west wall? It is worth looking at! Principal Thomas J. Parsley of Marian Central Catholic high school has announced that the school's accreditation has been extended through the 1977-78 school year following the review and approval of its annual report at the North Central association's annual meeting. Accreditation is for one year at a time and must be renewed annually. "Once every seven years each NCA school must undergo a comprehensive self-study followed by an NCA evaluation team review," Principal Parsley explained... "This school was last evaluated in 1972. In the interim years, a school is accredited on the basis of its report on conditions existing in the school and on such supplementary in­ formation as the Commission on Secondary Schools requests. Our reports for 1977-78 assure us of ongoing NCA membership and accreditation. This con­ tinued accreditation means that the conditions for effective education exist in the school." The North Central association is the largest of the country's regional accrediting agencies. It is a voluntary league of 4,500 schools and over 800 colleges and universities in nineteen states, plus the Department of Defense Dependent Schools throughout the world. A total of 618 schools are accredited in Illinois. The association works with in* dividual schools to improve the quality of education through a continuous process of evaluation and accreditation. Dr. John S. Kemp, NCA state chairman at the University of Illinois, congratulated Marian Central Catholic high school on its continued accreditation for 1977-78. He added, "The school has been a member of the North Central association since 1973, and in all those years it has been fully accredited. This should be a matter of quiet satisfaction to the studen|s and the parents of the school, since accreditation gives assurance that the school meets those minimal yet rigorous preconditions for effective education established by the association. Through this voluntary membership in the NCA, the school and the people in the district have committed themselves to the pursuit of quality in education."
