Enrollment to be found What is the school enrollment in the United States this fall? Curtis T. Hill, Director of the Bureau of the Census Data Collection center in Chicago, recently announced that a number of households in this area will help to provide the answer when they are inter--viewed by Census Bureau representatives this week. Questions on school enrollment and related subjects such as living arrangements of college students will be asked in addition to the usual ones asked in the monthly survey on employment and unemployment conducted nationwide by the Bureau for the U.S. Department of Labor. The October, 1970, survey showed that 60.4 million persons from ages 3 to 34 years were going to school, from nursery school to college.

This was 56 per cent of the U.S. population. Of the 29.3 million in this age group not enrolled in school, 27 per cent were high school graduates. I -1 1 1 1. Uk Sr tf Miller i cy Iuzzolino, and Pam Talle-rico form Queen Eileens court Eileen, was crowned at a special coronation dance last Friday.

The place, 59th between the Morton annex and main building. Cancellation of classes after R.P.M. By Stove Sparado The Band is and always haa been a group that creates complex music.

Its complex on many levels. The music itself is complex because of the intricacy with which it is written. The lyrics look simple ehough, but they too are often' complex in a down-home, nostalgic way. And the songs, as a whole, can be llatened to on not one, but two levels. The first level is just the simple story the song tells.

The second is the symbolism; what the song really stands for. Nathaniel Hawthorn used to do the same type of thing with his short stories. Last year, the Band released an album entitled Stage Fright which this columnist judged to be the number one album recorded in 1970. This year, the Band has released an LP entitled Cahoots. As with every Band album, Cahoots takes a while to get used to and to get into.

Thats understandable. a is ex-tremely perplexing, since every new Band album has been better than the previous one, is that Cahoots doesnt seem to be as strong an album as Stage Fright is. I doubt if its even as strong as the groups second album, The Band. Cahoots begins with Life Is A Carnival and ends with "The River Hymn. In between there are only three songs, When I Paint My Masterpiece, 4 Pantomime, and Shoot Out In Chinatown, which measure up to the type of music that the group is capable of making.

When I a i My Masterpiece" has some beautiful accordion and violin arrange eligible to join Junior Achievement. ACCORDING TO R. Ra-kosnik, executive vice president of Mid America Federal Savings and Loan Association, 5900 Cermak and chairman of the Cicero-Berwyn JA District, more than 900 letters have been sent to high school youngsters in the Cicero, Berwyn, Stickney and North Riverside areas telling them about the benefits of JA.

About 68 per cent of Morton graduates continue their education at some institution of higher learning. Over half of these select Morton College for one or two years and then continue on a degree program at a four year college as the cred-its from Morton College are recognized by the colleges and universities for transfer. As would be expected, the greatest interest is shown in Illinois colleges, with the state supported schools at Urbana, DeKalb, Macomb, Normal, and Chicago Circle receiving the most attention. However, interest has been expressed in practically all of the four year schools in Illinois.

High inter The complex Area center to open JA becomes Sweet 16" The distributive education class of Morton East High School recently attended the opening of the new J. C. Penneys store at the Woodfieid Plaza in Schaumburg, through the courtesy of John Nelson, J. C. Penneys district manager.
