Round Lake Teacher Strike 1994-- Part 8

DAY THREE, OCTOBER 19TH:  "Decided to bring in my camcorder today.  Went to the headquarters and picked up the stuff for Magee.  Out on the line by 6:30 and then walked over to the high school/administration area where we would have a speech by the IEA president.

"Again, the cops were in full force but at least without the paddy wagon.  We had speeches and songs and then the president spoke.  He told us the eyes of everyone were on us, not just Illinois, but the whole U.S..  he said he had never seen fences and cops at any teacher strike.

"We then had more songs then M.D., our leader (superintendent), drove up and behind the admin building with just a quick glance at the people she leads.  She looks very haggard."
