Jef­ fords and Karen O'Hayer of the Illinois Natural History Survey will present their special multi­ media program "The Gypsy Moth: A Threat to Illinois Trees."

The program includes a description of the life cycle of the gypsy moth, the factors which cause gypsy moth outbreaks to occur, the characteristics that make areas susceptible to gypsy moth at­ tack, and ways that individuals and communities can deal with the moth.

Stevens A minor dispute arose at a recent Johnsburg School Board meeting when the board discussed the proposed changes in the curricula of the schools for next year. One of the changes will be the dropping of the Health Occupations n course from the high school curriculumm because only four students signed up to take the course. This is the continuation of a course in which students earn a nurses aide certificate. Of the four students who signed up, only one was a senior who will not have the op­ portunity to gain this practical experience except by going out on her own and finding a job after school hours. Two others are returning juniors and the fourth is a senior who is repeating the course. Arguing against the dropping of this course were the student's parents. However, the board felt that the cost factor involved with continuing this course is simply too high to be acceptable. In Health Occupations I, the student actually earns the certificate. Health Occupations II enables the student to apply his knowledge on a practical basis. He works several weeks at a time at a local hospital or nursing home putting to use the knowledge that has been gained. This is followed up with classroom work which allows the student to discuss his practical experience. Other major changes include the addition of a new program to the Junior High curriculum. It will be of an experimental nature and is aimed at those students who dislike school and are constantly "playing hooky". The idea is to put these students in a closed classroom situation, one where they have the same teacher all day, to enable them to receive individualized at­ tention daily. What will be taught will be basic "survival" skills, those skills which are necessary for a person to exist on a day-to-day basis. These students will be allowed to work on a hobby on a daily basis, something in which he or she has a real interest, in order to stimulate interest in staying in school. - Most students who later on become high school dropouts can be identified by the time they reach seventh or eighth grade. By identifying them and giving them special attention, it is hoped their interest in school will have been rekindled enough to allow them to complete their education. This classroom will be handled by the current student counselor, which will mean that a new half-time counselor will need to be hired. Overall, the changes being made to the different curricula are the result of the grown of the school district. It is expected that enrollment will increase by 14 to 23 new students in the district. In fact, out of the 21 districts in McHenry County, Johnsburg grew the most last year. Also, because students will be redistributed among the schools, teachers will be reassigned to meet the needs. The overall result will be an increase of $70,000 in the budget for the 1984-85 school year. Famous name phone sale Save on AT&T, Mura ̂Uniden, Webcor, more. < Sale-- 119.95 Reg. 169.95. Save $50!
