Schools close and summer activities begin in full swing: fishing poles are seen slung over the shoulders of overjoyed youngsters, baseballs and bats are taken from the attics and basements and Little League play begins. Long days are spent splashing about in community swimming pools or in the back yard, golf clubs are polished and droves of campers flood the highways. and then, quite before it IS realized, the weeks fly by and fall creeps up with the start of school, football and other fall events. In three short weeks, most Sycamore students must take up their books, pencils and pads to begin the first day of the semester.

Parents must think of school clothing, and revise the family budget to accomodate other expenses education commands. A Chronicle reporter contact-! ed several parents and students to obtain their reaction to the inevitable. One young lady, who will be entering her second year of college, had this to say. "I liked 1 the summer and wish it were long," but, at the same time, I'm excited about school: I will be entering a brand new school this year." A working mother who has two children in school was undecided as to whether she was glad the summer was over. "Sometimes I wish summer were a lot longer," she commented, "but I guess I'm glad that school will soon be starting.

I'll know where my children are when I am away at work." A seven year old boy is excited at the prospect of entering second grade to a new school. this fall. "I want to go to school and see who my new teacher is going to be; 'I'll have some new boy friends, too." Two sisters interviewed stated that they are glad school is not far away; one will be entering first grade and the older sister likes school almost better than anything. A physical education teacher volunteered this. "I'd personally like to see the summer vacation extended: there seems to be so much more to do in the summer.

course, we have our own swimming pool: in the back yard; this may make a difference." According to several comments from industry, the event of school starting will affect the B. employment picture only slightly. Fred Abben, of Ideal Industries, offered this statement. "We hired a few students this year, and offered a few scholarships, but employment has been pretty tight, there will be few; openings created, if any." The opinion of a spokesman for Turner Corporation paralled that of Abben's. "We've hired fewer students this year than in the past, and few openings will be created by the students returning to Duplex Products reported that they hired students every year to fill in for vacationing employes; these students would return to school in the fall, but no openings would be created.
