WE'RE OFF

October 23 will be a school holiday for students of the Maine Township High Schools. This is the date set aside for the national observance of Veterans' Day and the date specified in the official District 207 calendar for the 1972‑73 school year.

School officials have announced that the Maine high schools will celebrate Veterans' Day on November 11 next year. Recent legislation, passed during this session of the General Assembly and signed into law this past summer by Governor Richard Ogilvie, provides that, in Illinois, Veterans' Day shall no longer be celebrated on the fourth Monday in October but shall be observed on November 11 instead.
