Huntley's   Ne^«v Citizens
On Monday, September 18, Mr. William Kuestner and his wife and son were sworn in as citizens of the United States of America at the Natural History Museum in Chicago, Illinois.
Mr. Kuestner came to this coun¬ try six years ago from Venezuela. Before that time, he and his wife had lived in Langensall, Western Germany, which is 60 miles north of Stuttgart. This is the heart of the wine country in Southern Ger¬ many.
Before the war, Mr. Kuestner was a student, and he would have been the equivalent of an Ameri¬ can forest ranger. After the war, Mr. Kuestner married his wife, Leopoldine.
In 1953 he moved to South America and then after leaving South America, moved to Algon¬ quin. Then he moved to Huntley in 1956.

GRAND OPENING AT LAUNDROMAT
Fire at Tinhergs
On Friday, September 22, there was a fire at the farm of Harry Tinberg. The barn was engulfed in flames, and none of it was saved. The barn was full of hay and grain. No other buildings were harmed, however. All the milking equip¬ ment ivas'saved. Ten young stock were lost but fortunately the milk cows were n the pasture so they remained unharmed.
Algonquin was called in and they brought one of their pumpers. The bulk trucks from the Dean Milk Company did an excellent job of supplying water for the fire de¬ partment.
The lalarm was turned in at 11 o'clock, but the fire was well on its way then. The cause of the fire was lightning.
It was nice of a neighbor, Jack Oliver, who lived within four miles to take Mr. Tinberg's daily cows to his farm where they are being milked.
Mr. Tinberg is anticipating re¬ placing the barn as soon as pos¬ sible.

M. E. Gahan, Superintendent
Three students at Huntley High School have received certificates for their outstanding performances on the National Educatiwial De¬ velopment Tests, announced Mr. Barrett, school guidance director.
The Certificates of EductttimfMl Development    were    awarded   by Science   Research Associations,   a Chicago-based firm serving educa¬ tion,    industry   and   government through    applied   behavioral    sci¬ ences. Recipients Include; Denis Akerberg Douglas P. Swanson Mary S. Palmer
In March, 1961, according to Lyle M. Spencer, presidoit of SRA, INEDT exams were administered to more than 366,000 students in 9th and 10th grade classes across the nation.
The certificates are provided for students scoring in the top Quarter of each state's particlpsmts, by grade.
Prepared and administered by SRA, the NEDT provided scores in English, social studies, mathema¬ tics, natural sciences and word us¬ age. The evaluation of educational strengths and weaknesses is par¬ ticularly important at this stage of a student's scholastic career, the principal explained, so that school authorities, parents and the stu¬ dents themselves may make better decisions about future careers.
A special aim of the program, the principal added, is to enable parents and educators to provide realistic guidance and motivation for high school youngsters.
