Grafton Park Board Meeting
Due to the costs exceeding prior estimates, plans for building a new beach house havo been in¬ definitely postponed. Noil Bennett was employed to manage the beach for the summer months, and he was instructed to hire an assistant, swimming instructors, lifeguards, and other help fo clean up the park and to regulate car parking as the situation warrants.
It was decided to purchase a lawn mower, another raft, which will be a bigger one, and 15 red¬ wood picnic tables. Plans were made for a general cleaning-up and reconditioning of the park. The dressing rooms and toilet building are to be painted first. Eventually most everything will receive a coat of paint and other repairs neces¬ sary for cleaniness and safety.
Tho parking area . aleng ^ the fence will be covered with new gravel where necessary. A con¬ tribution of $250 was made to the Crystal Lake Preservation Coun¬ cil to aid them in the expense of pumping water into the lake later in the summer, when the water level drops considerably, leaving the sand exposed, and forcing swimmers to walk out further into the mud and muck, which is full of rusty cans and broken bottles that cause serious injuries.
Grade School To Give Concert
Huntley Grade School  Prepares  .
By Roger A. Perley Instrumental students  in grades
five, six and seven, and some voc¬ al students in grades seven and eight are preparing musical selec¬ tion ranging from individual solos to larger ensembles for a Student Musical Recital which will be held on Monday evening. May 14 1962, at 8:15 P.M., at the Huntley Con¬ solidated Schools Gym, Huntley, Illinois.  No admission charge.
The reason for this new ven¬ ture in the Music Department is that we are interested in the ed¬ ucational development of five main clauses of music: 1) singing, 2rplayinb, 3) rhythmic activities, 4) listening, and 5) creative. In the past, emphasis has been placed on vommunity enjoyment of the student concerts as a by-product of the students' music educational experiences. Now we would like the com^fc^ to also enjoy the in¬ vididual,^^well as group, creat¬ ivity in regard to the by-product of the recital in relationship to the students in invididual education in solo and ensemble music.
