Choirs Prepares Sacred Concert
By Roger A. Perloy
The Huntloy High Schoo! Senior Chorus wiil present their Annual Interdenominational Sacred Chor¬ al Music Concert on April 1, 1962, at 2:00 P.M.. at the Huntloy Con¬ gregational Church. This is tho fourth interdenominational concert presented by the high school chor¬ al group.
The title of the work being pre¬ sented by the chorus Ls "Tho Prophecy Fulfilled", by William Stickles. It is an Easter Cantata for uni.son voices and mixed chorus with organ and piano accompani¬ ment, and a choral prelude and a choral   posfludo.
In this Easter Cantata, there is a return to the time-honored sing¬ ing school tradition of "lining-out the music, which means the unison presentation of the words l)efore it is done as a mixed choral num¬ ber.
The public is cordially invited to this non-profit sacred music con¬ cert.
Spring Concert Date Changed
Music Concert presented by tho High  School   Senior   Chorus   and
The Annual High School Spring Senior Band was previously plan- nod for April 6. 1962. Because of tho date of the Senior Chorus' Sacred Music Concert, a survey was taken concerning the possibili¬ ty of changing the High School Spring Concert from April 6, 1962 to May 13, 1962.
Ninety-six return post cai'ds wore mailed to the parents of tho students participating in the con¬ cert; replies were received from 44 families; thirty-three said the date of May 13, 1%2 was satis¬ factory, four were willing to do as the majority ruled, and seven said the date was unsatisfactory.
The reply post cards were mailed to all parents of grades seven and eight, and high school music stu¬ dents' parents. The reason for mailing reply post cards to grade seven and eight parents is that one of the concert numbers h>eing con¬ sidered requires the use of the high school band, and the grade seven and eight chorus members, it is tho "Battle Hvmn of the Repul>- lic".
Therefore. Mother's Day, May 13, 1962, at 2:00 P.M.. at the Hun¬ tley Consolidated Schools Gym., the High School Spring Music Concert will be given. It is hoped that an additional special tribute will be able to be given to the mo¬ thers of the participating students since this is Mother's Day.

Congratulations
Mr. R. A. Perley Huntley  Cons.  Schools Music Department Lincoln Street Huntley,   Illinois Gentlemen;
Your music department undou¬ btedly is one of tho best equipped in your area. We make this state¬ ment because you had the fore¬ sight to take advantage of the newest Conn Electronic Teaching Aid-The Dynalevol.
We at Conn envisioned what wo thought were all the possible uses for a visual volume indicator dur¬ ing the development of the Dyna¬ levol. However, since the Dynalev- el has been in general use by many music teachers, more and more uses are found for it. Naturally, we are interested in these new applications.

Sign-ups wore scheduled in various townships but if it was not possible for the farmer to sign up at that time he can go to the county ASCS office at Wcx)dstock to complete arrange¬ ments for participation in the program.

Park Board Notes
The March meeting of the Graf¬ ton Park Board was held last Thursday March 15, at the Village Hall in Huntley, Illinois Trustees wore present.
The proposed building at Graf¬ ton Park Beach was discussed in more detail at this meeting. The Park Board will make tho final decision as to whether or not to go ahead with this at the April 5 meeting to be held at the Village Hall in Huntley.
This building will provide dress¬ ing and toilet facilities to replace the insufficient facilities. Also, the building would provide space for vending machines to serve the beach.
Throughout the past year the Park Board has been hesitant on improving the present facilities at the beach in order to put money into more modern and practical facilities.
The public arc always welcome to sit in on theso meetings if they wish.
Huntley Not In State Contest
The high school band and chorus were to go to Augustana College on April 14, 1962, for participa¬ tion in Class "D" State Music Organization Music Contest, this is a round trip or around 230 miles, or approximately eight hours of travel time. The organ¬ izations had a slight majority in favor of going, so the Huntley Board of Education was consulted in regard to what course to follow. After careful consideration of the matter, it was recommended that the music organizations do not participate this year.
Audio Library Being Created
More cUid more emphasis is being placed on the use of audion ma¬ terials both in the classroom, and at homo. A great number of fine re¬ cordings are available on most subjects.
Recently, the Huntloy Board of Education, and the Huntley P. T. A. each contributed $50.00, for a total of $100.00, to be used in the ex¬ perimental project of creating an audio (record.* library for student and teacher use.
Presently, the Music Department has a number of excellent recoi^d- ing that, for the most part, will he added to the audio library.
New records and listening labo¬ ratory equipment that has been purchased are: an adaptor for double-headphones, four sets of double-headphones, a 16 rpm talk¬ ing book of tho Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, volume 2 of Heritage, U.S.A.. a volume of the Science of Sound, Folk Music of Argentina, Folk Music of Mexico, A Child's Introduction to Outer Space, Fun with Rhythm, and a dance album. The records were selected by tho teachers of the various subject fields.
Two small record storage units are l)eing made by Heinemann Hardward according to the design submitted by Mr. Perley.
It is planned that part of the records will be available to teach¬ ers in the grade school's office, and the others will be available in the high school library. They will be available to students as soon an indexing system is completed, and the storage units are received.
A display of the materials will be presented on the evening of the coming P.T.A. meeting.
The Listening Laboratory will allow students to utilize their time more efficiently through the use of the headphones either in the class¬ room situation or during study hall, so as to advance more rapid¬
ly in regard to a subject, or to re- \iew some material previously presented.

Possibility of Area Jr. College
The possibility of having an ai^a junior college in McHenry County was discussed at a meet¬ ing of I^aymen and a committee of three administrators, Paul Tl- gard, superintendent of Alden- Hebron Community High School; Richard Tazewell, County Supt. of Schools; and John Buckner, superintendent of Crystal Lake Community High  School.
The state is urging the forma¬ tion of junior colleges in several locations to relieve the over- crowdedness in existing colleges and universities. McHenry County has been suggested as a possible location because of its rapid pop¬ ulation growth, being the second fastest growing county in the state. Its present population is 85.000 and expected to reach 130,- 000 by 1970.
The area junior college would mmake available increased edu¬ cational opportunities to its res¬ idents at a lower cost. The college would be at commuting distance not making room and board ex- continued on page 2
