He's probably looking down from up there and shaking his head. Even with his wooden teeth, George probably wouldn't trade life back in the 1750s for a mixed up society today that substitutes one Monday celebration for another -- just to be doing something!

Involve Johnsburg Parents Douglass Named Head In New Advisory Status As a development of the self study and specific recommendations from last Spring's North Central association evaluation at the Johnsburg high school, planning has been under way this year to reinvolve the citizens in a formal advisory status with the school. The active phase of the high school citizen's advisory committee is about to begin. The school board has approved the concept. Recently, forma* mem­ bers of citizen's committees that helped to plan for and design the high school met to give their input and advice. During February and March, the P.T.O. Booster club and High School council will also be contacted for input. The focus of the high schol citizens' advisory committee will be to provide a forum for the community to have a continued impact on the goals and objectives of the high school program. The committee, which will be com­ posed of both students and parents, will seek to find out the thoughts and opinions of the community and tran­ sform these into practical suggestions for the high school program. Progress of the work of this new committee will be reported as it develops. Students at Johnsburg high school are currently completing participating in one of the most critical activities of the year as they register for classes for the 1982-83 school term. At the end of the first semester Jan. 20, students received registration material for next year's classes. In the days that followed, teachers reviewed, with students, recom­ mendations that related to their par­ ticular disciplines. Students were also urged to think seriously about their general career goals, talk them over with their parents and plan to register S KRYSTAL KLEAR CLEANING WHERE NO JOB IS TOO BIG OR TOO SMALL" Commercial t Residential Cleaning Over 13 Yeart Of Satisfied Customers 7M JLLn OFFERING: QUALITY HOUSE CLEANINC By The Hour Or Day •Floors Stripped -Office Cleaning •Windows Washed *Gift Certificates FULLY INSURED & BONDED 1815-385-1877 l9lp* )•! 1301 RIVERSIDE DR.

The heart of the registration process was an individual meeting with a counselor. At this time the student and counselor were concerned with several tasks: 1 • to review and update the student career folder that keeps a yearly account of a student's goals and career interests; 2 - to review com­ pletely all credits earned in high school and note any possible graduation deficienies due to failures; 3 - review career plans; 4 - select 1982-83 courses based upon career goals; 5 - check for parental verification of course selec­ tions. Two new elements were involved in this year's registration process. Because of a continuing desire to offer ail the programs possible to students and yet keep class sizes to a reasonable level, most students were restricted this year from an extra seventh class. The limit of six classes plus a study hall except for students who also enroll in band, chorus or Health is expected to reduce slightly the total number of students in classes. Secondly, the Vocational Education department prepared a new course offering booklet this year. While most students have an adequate un­ derstanding of the nature of traditional academic courses, it was felt that this new booklet would provide needed information to parents and students interested in courses in the vocational area.

Because the way things are now, when nearly every­ body's up during the day, it's - not so divine. The cost of producing electricity goes up. You see, the eight million people we serve use an enormous amount of electricity before they go to bed. And our main generating stations, the ones that run on coal and uranium, have an impossible time handling the demand. It lakes our oil burners to pull us through. But oil is far more expen­ sive than coal and uranium. So during the day, electricity costs far more to make. Up to four and a half times more. Of course, if half of us would volunteer to start sleeping during the day, it would hold down the demand. Which would also hold down the amount of oil we have to burn, the number of new generating stations we have to build, and the size of the electric bills you have to pay every month. Since that's asking an awful lot, though, you'll be relieved to know there are other ways to get the job done. Nothing earthshaking. Just conserving a little more in the daytime. Like not running the dish­ washer till 9 or 10 p.m. Or the clothes dryer. Or other easy things like that. When enough people go along, they really can make a difference. All we have to do is do it together. That's the key. To keeping costs down. To getting some control over tomorrow. If we only wake up.
