requires good rapport with students,
genuine respect for them, and a

And Dr. Rogers seems to sum up
the feelings of most Lab School
teachers after a hectic year of inno-
vation: ''The things we have been
able to do with kids is ten times
over what we were able to do in the
past. It's a problem to adjust the

this.''

Reynolds was writing about the ex-
pected new arrival, and since Mich-
elle's birth, she has been the sub-

part of her prize-winning father.

Gradually, Reynolds learned the
newspaper business, and he has
worked his way from obituaries and
five columns a week to his present
position of Charleston editor, farm
editor, and three to four columna
each week. Occasionally, he writes
an editorial.

Asked to give advice to others

'Exciting,' says Superintendent

Schools for o new city

It took the rural Hawthorne

School District in Lake County, Illi-

Jl()is, 44 years to grow from an en-

-1Jment of 55 students to the present

150 students, but in the coming

19Ven years the district's student

population is expected to zoom to

4,130.

In the middle of this emlosion of

d nts is Superintendent Robert

Wri_ght, '38. Far from being

helmed by the projected

gr_owth, ~fight terms it "an exciting

ldventure.

The unusual expansion in enroll-

ment is to come from the construc-

tion of a "planned city," known as

New Century Town, which will

• tually house 15,000 persons.
ew Century Town, which will

rise from 600 acres of cornfields and

open spaces 35 miles north of Chi-

eago's Loop, will thrust apartments

as much as 15 stories into the air.

In addition to residential areas,

le planned city will include a re-

ltJnal shopping center, a regional

town center, a major recreational

hlce area and other parks, and re-

search and development centers. Superintendent Robert A. Wright, '38, who is also a magician, points
