In the past, school trustee elections have been held in April. Under the jurisdiction of the office of County Clerk Rosemary Azzaro, voting will take place at political precinct polling places from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mrs. Azzaro commented early this week, "We expect the results to be in by 11 p.m. or midnight on election night -- or certainly by the following day". She added that a light turnout is expected. Only elementary, high school and college board candidates' names will appear on the ballot. One referendum is scheduled but it is outside the local district. Contests are evident in only three local districts. One of these is Elementary School District 15, McHenry, where three seek to fill two openings for four-year terms. Candidates are Gary Lockwood, now serving as president; Frances Larsen, an incumbent, and Thomas Pr- zetacznik. Another contest is in prospect in Johnsburg District 12, where there are also three candidates for two positions. Running for office are Gerald M. Sobiesk, a present member of the board; Kenneth J. Lund and Jerome E. Olsen. The third contest will be settled in the McHenry County College District No. 528. There, Robert J. Weidner and William Terence Ryan seek reelection and Michael J. McNerney will be running to fill a vacancy. (Continued on page 18) by Myrtle Procter A new plan to alleviate overcrowded conditions and allow for a more productive use of time while students wait for buses was revealed at Tuesday evening's Johnsburg school board meeting. Parents are being notified of details. The plan, to take effect immediately, includes three designated areas: hallway for line-up of early riders; multi-purpose room for silent study areas; and gymnasium for visiting, social or recreational activities. Students will have a choice of areas. In addition, teachers or parents may request student assignment to par­ ticular areas as the need arises. The board was given a letter from Ray Broderick, acting president of St. John's school board, pledging support and encouragement when the decision is made to increase the monies available in the transportation fund by referendum. He also expressed ap­ preciation to the board for their time and concern in trying to work out a solution to the late bus departure for elementary students.

TOM HUNTER DAWN FORTIER The most frightening thing that happened to Tom Hunter, a fifth grade student, was when he was sitting in a truck with his 11-year-old brother and it started rolling. "The truck was on a farm and it started rolling," he said. "My brother finally reached over and stepped on the brake." Dawn Fortier, a fourth grader .recalled the time about five years ago when she was playing in the driveway of her ftQme and a squirrel came over and jumped on her leg.

Tracy never found out what the thumps were but she said they might have just been the building settling. Heather Wirtz, a fifth grade student at Edgebrook, said she was the most scared when she fell from her bike while riding at the golf course and injured her eye.
