Mc Henry High lights FACT$ FROM McHENRY COMMUNITY HIGH SCHQOL Seek Director For Christian Pre-School PAGE 11 • PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2», 1980 MARTY SOBCZAK This week we are highlighting Marty Sobczak as someone you should know at McHenry high school. Mr. Sobczak has been a physical education instructor and coach at East campus for the past seven years. He built his own home in the Greenwood area and enjoys the peaceful surroundings with his wife, Lynne, his son, Lance, and his daughter, Joy. The whole family is very active in the Mount Hope church. Mrs. Sobczak is a part-time secretary and music teacher at Saint John's church and also gives piano lessons at home. Whenever they can, the Sobczaks participate in family activities, such as camping, canoeing, sailing, cross country skiing, soccer, and bike riding. Mr. Sobczak also likes building model planes and rockets. Mr. Sobczak grew up in the Milwaukee area and at­ tended Oak Creek high school, where he par­ ticipated in four sports, band, and mixed chorus. He went on to attend the University of Wisconsin at LaCrosse, where he majored in physical education and minored in history and biology. He was also a member of the university's football and wrestling teams. Upon graduation, he taught and coached in Park Falls, Wis., for one year. He spent the next eight years teaching in Waukesha, Wis. During this time he coached the high school's football and wrestling teams and the local junior college's wrestling team. After earning his Master's degree in Adaptive Physical Education from the University of Wisconsin, LaCrosse, Mr. Sobczak moved to McHenry. Since coming to McHenry, Mr. §obczak has been a very involved staff member. He attended a national con­ vention on Adaptive P.E. and has been instrumental in setting up such a program at McHenry high school. For two years he thoroughly enjoyed teaching in the Education for Life option at East campus. This ex­ perience increased his in­ terest in outdoor education and co-curricular P.E. and led to his participation in the National Convention on Experimental Education. These experiences gave Mr. Sobczak an excellent background for ' the establishment of coed P.E. classes at McHenry high school.

All activities except wrestling are offered to both seXes. Mr. Sobczak feels this a r r a n g e m e n t a l l o w s teachers a chance to use their special talents or in­ terests to a greater degree and generates more en­ thusiasm for the courses. It also allows the students to learn and accept the abilities of the opposite sex. One of the greatest joys for Mr. Sobczak is working with the students after school in wrestling and football. "The students are there because they want to be and their enthusiasm brings out the enthusiasm in me," stated Mr. Sobczak, When asked about being a wrestling coach, he replied, "Wrestling is ah ego development sport. I enjoy hatching freshmen who tend to be complacent develop into confident, self-assured seniors. Although wrestling is considered an individual sport, I feel it is also a team effort with each boy en­ couraging his team mem­ bers on. It is this feeling of team spirit that makes coaching worthwhile." What has become of the anpient and respected doctrine that people should earn what they enjoy? In September, Faith P r e s b y t e r i a n c h u r c h (located next to the outdoor theater) is planning to open a Christian pre-school and they are currently in­ terviewing for the position of director. The planned pre-school will be non-sectarian, that is,' it will not communicate a specifically Presbyterian or other point of view. Rather, it will emphasize Christian values, social skills and the achievement of appropriate developmental tasks. When asked about the pre­ school, the Rev. Eric Snyder, who is currently finishing his doctorate at San Franciso Theological seminary, commented "Child psychologists remind us that nearly half of what a child learns in terms of values, they learn by the age of 5. To aid in the develop­ ment of appropriate Christian values, w6 must begin at an early age." Current plans call for the pre-school to operate in two sessions, from 9 - 11:30 a.m. and from 12:30 - 3, and to follow the McHenry school calender. Although housed in the Faith Presbyterian church, financing and ad­ ministration of the school will be completely separate from the church. The director will be paid on an hourly basis and will be employed as a consultant in the dvelopment of the program. The pre-school, which will be called The Joyful Noise, has a statement of philosophy which expresses ADULTS $2.00 Child (Und«r 12) $1.50 STARTS FRIDAY FEBRUARY 29 THEATRE RENTED -- NO PASSES ACCEPTED America's favorite family is back!

"Ultimately we seek to help children grow in many ways: in compassion with an understanding of others, in the development of an active an inquisitive mind, in the successful .achievement of appropriate developmental tasks...all combined with a large dose of happiness in the company of children their own age. We believe that appropriation of the Christian faith best takes place in an environment of love and support. We seek to provide such an en­ vironment," the pastor concluded. Potential applicants for director are urged to contact the church office or to contact Mrs. Terry J. (Leslie) Anfinson, 3713 W. High street, to set up a time for interview.

Presented by STATE BANK OF RICHMOND member F.D.I.C. There's a lot of truth in the cliche, "If you think you can or if you think you can't, you are ab­ solutely right". Un­ fortunately a prevalent attitude many of us have toward inflation is that we think we can't do anything about it. Here are some " t h i n k k y o u carT'suggestions: 1. If you own a business, make every effort to keep your prices down. 2. If you work for someone else, help keep the lid on wage demands. 3. Join the national effort to increase productivity . . . if you are an employee, put out some extra effort. If you are en employer, use in­ centives and better training plus take advantage of opportunities for moder­ nization. 4. Buy wisely. If you don't need it and don't think you can afford it, don't buy it. 5. Conserve energy. Every gallon of oil you save through energy con­ servation fights inflation, 6. Budgeting. Make one and stick with it. All of us can apply some of these things toward f i g h t i n g i n f l a t i o n . Remember, if you think you can . . . you can BANK on it!

In order to provide educational excellence for the children of District No. 15, it is the official position of the McHenry Classroom Teachers' Association that we maintain the present programs and retain the present teaching and supportive staff. In keeping with District No. 15's policy of "Humanism" and quality education, the McHenry Classroom Teachers' Association sincerely hopes that the Board of Education seriously considers cuts that will not be detrimental to the education of the children of this district. Submitted by The McHenry Classroom Teachers' Association Judy Hamilton President MCTA Retrenchment Alternatives 1. Sell the "White House" 2. Eliminate the Superintendent's car, thereby eliminating costs for insurance and gasoline 3. Rent the half of Central Administration that belongs to District No. 15 thereby eliminating heat, electricity, and janitorial costs. Central Ad­ ministrative offices could be relocated in the mobile units at Valley View and Landmark or could be relocated at Parkland. 4. Cut extra-curricular activities for students, i.e. sports, newspaper, yearbook, intramurals, etc. 5. Institute an early retirement bonus. 6. Establish part-time principals. 7. Cut all travel expenses, both administrative and teachers except for those people who travel from building to building. 8. Cut convention and workshop budgets. 9. Cut night janitorial staff to one per building. 10. Go to four day work week-begin 45 min. early in the elementary buildings and extend 45 min. later for junior high buildings. 11. Alternative Career leave 12. Close sch'ools during coldest month to save heat cost, (or such a program as Rockford has now) Would cut down on sick days and average daily attendance would be greater. 13. Cut library budget-A-V equipment. 14. Retain a local less expensive law firm or hire a superintendent with a good school law background. 15. Go back to take home-return type report card 16. Actively pursue programs and rentals for community agencies to use schools. Specifically-schools are sharing facilities with Senior Centers, Mental Health, etc. As a result this enables the facility to apply for federal money to pay expenses for building-heat, maintenance, etc. (School districts doing this or in the process of doing it are Mundelein, Waukegan, North Chicago, Chicago) Money is not earmarked for 6 a specific building but the District.
