The feature of the pep rally will be crowning of the homecoming queen. The queen for this year was elected at an assembly Tuesday afternoon but her identity won't be known until she is crowned tonight.

The five homecoming queen candidates are Vicki Jackson, Rebecca Babcock, Julie Hicks, Linda Laing and Pat Tappan. The central point of the annual homecoming ceremony this year will be the football game Friday night against the McHenry Warriors, in a North Suburban Conference game. The sophomore game will begin at 6 p.m. Friday with the varsity game scheduled to begin about 8 p.m. The homecoming queen will be introduced to the throng during the game Friday.

Following the McHenry contest, there will be a sock hop, which will last until about 11:30 p.m. The annual homecoming dance will be held Saturday night, and the homecoming queen will reign over that affair. The Varsity Club is sponsoring most of the homecoming festivities, but the dance Saturday night is being arranged by the Student Council. The Blue Streaks will be the center of things Friday as they try to win their first conference game of the season in the battle with McHenry. The Warriors have a win, a tie and a loss in three NSC games.

The public is invited to attend the pep rally tonight.

The large turnouts at these games create a potential traffic problem that never seems to materialize due to the skill of these men in blue.

I was rather surprised to learn from one of the W.C.H.S higherups in the faculty that this high school was not planning any homecoming parade. Parent apathy was blamed. It is also blamed for the pitiful turnouts at the Tuesday night movies of the W.C.H.S. football games. Couch Bob No-waskey has been giving an ex- cellent running commentary with these movies, but nobody seems interested.

Understand these movies may be dropped for this reason. A lot of work goes into the preparation of these movies, but it is wasted I effort if only a half dozen people show up for them. Maybe the people just do not realize the wonderful oppor- tunity they are missing by not attending.

Kennedy put his signature to the legislation in his White House office as the first item on his day's schedule.

Kennedy, reading from a statement, said the new postal rates would bring in additional annual revenue amounting to $600 million. The new law provides "broad reform" and flexibility in postal system salaries and puts them at a level which would help to prevent large-scale "attrition to private industry," he said. Kennedy said the salary increases would help attract more capable people into federal employment and contribute to better productivity. The legislative package signed into law combines two of Kennedy's major legislative proposals pay increases and salary reform for 1.6 million federal workers, and new revenue to help run the deficit-ridden postal service. The pay section of 'the Till calls for two-step raises averaging 9.6 per cent for 1 million "white collar" workers, and 11.2 per cent for 600,000 postal clerks and letter carriers.

The administrators are expected to meet with members of the committee from their district to discuss possible candidates, then try to select a chairman possibility at a county-wide meeting Oct. 17. It is anticipated the new chairman, when selected, will call the lay committee into a meeting to get plans moving on a junior college survey. John W. Buckner, superintendent at Crystal Lake, pointed out that the committee must find out if there is a need for a junior college and a survey is the only means to do this.

Buckner added there was a lot of interest in a junior college in the Crystal Lake high school district, and he thought that should the county-wide proposal fail, the Crystal Lake district might consider setting up its own junior college. He admitted that a Crystal Lake district junior college could not do the job that a county-wide school could do, since it would be limited in resources.

The 80-year-old pontiff, in an address before some 2,500 council delegates in St. Peter's Basilica, said progress had already been made toward unity. He spoke specifically of a unity of prayers and aspirations and a unity of esteem and respect. "Unfortunately," the Pope said, "ths entire Christian family has not yet fully attained unity in truth. "The Catholic Church, therefore, considers it her duty to work actively so that there may be fulfilled the great mystery of that unity, which Jesus Christ invoked with fervent (Continued on Page 8) Five of the eight high schooi Rambling Through Today's Want Ads FOR SAIJE 1953 Ford hardtop convertible.
