Stoneware gift given to District 97 students
Six female minority teachers presented a stoneware head by Hawthorne School art teacher Robert Smith to the District 97 Board as a symbol for all district children. Betty Wilson formally presented the piece at the Monday meeting, with eight teachers aiding the purchase and framing the presentation. Smith, an art teacher for three years, had owned the sculpture for ten years before gifting it.

Donald Panarese of River Forest, a Democrat, lost for the Circuit Court as he conceded it was not close. Both will return to private practice or pursue other roles.
