Election of officers was held «t the meeting. Carl N. Weber WM elected president, Angela Petesch, vice president, and Richard Stenger, secretary and treasurer. The nest meeting was held on Monday, Nov. 26. The drive for the sale of season tickets was discussed at this meeting. These tickets are being sold by the student body of the high school. They sell at $2.00 and are good for all games that are played at home. "Oie price of admission to these games is jS5c. By buying a season ticket a person saves about $1.00 a season-. Our advice to you is to buy a season ticket. The bleechers have been put up in ^the sgym so we can accommodate a -large crowd at the game Wednesday knight, Nov. 28. This is the first game of the season. There will be two •games played with Richmond and we can assure you of both, being good g games. The first one Will be called f at 7:30 p. m., Nov. 28 Coach Stringer is well pleased with the basket ball teams this year. What the first team lacks in weight they make up in brain work. As for the seconds, they are going good and expect to have many victories to their credit this season. Mr. Stringer admits that they are very lucky when it , comes to shooting long shots, but he • *' also says they have plenty of fight in r them. Charles Londgren of Crystal Lake / will referee the game on Wednesday night, Nov. 28. Bernard Newman, the star of last ! fall's foot ball season, who was injured recently, will soon be able to take an active part in the athletics of this season. We hope that he will make as good an appearance in basket ; ball as he did in foot ball. ^ { Wm. M. Green. Junior class rings haw at last arrived. It's too good to v •» true. We were beginning to think they would be here by the time we graduated. Mr. Wells, in chem.: "Why have we a periodic table?" Bill Nye: "That's what W like to know." The Athletic association organized last week. Carl Weber was elected president and Richard Stenger, secretary. Mildred Zuelsdorf. SOPHOMORE NOTES Berteel Spencer was absent from school Monday "n account of sickness. What would happen if Dick Overton got to school three minutes before the tardy bell rang ? ? ? It seems the boys are fond of arguing in Eng. II class. Wonder why the teachers don't give us debates? Miss Ashburner might be surprised to hear how loud the girls sing thft songs in the play "All Aboard." The sophomore girls' basket ball team n progressing rapidly. We hope they keep the good work up. We have recently found out where the zoology drawings are disappearing | It consists Jo. (For information ask "Torchy.") We have noticed a number of sleepy-heads on Monday. There ought to be a "Bine Law" restricting late hours. Mr. Stringer read a "Coquette's Heart" in Eng. II the other day and the effect on some of the pupils was quite noticeable. There's a ten cent fine for procurng lost articles in sewing I class. At fhe rate we're going some poor papa is going bankrupt. Mary McAndrews is absent from school because of a broken arm. 'Wonder what she feeds the Ford to get that kind of a kick?" Most all of the geojnetry pupils fagree that geometry is difficult, but when it comes to Miss Richmond doing it the reply is, "Oh, I knew that have you : "Yes, I ncherno." A bank was installed for the con venience of the commercial class Louis Ehle is the cashier and MiM Pryor is the rest of the officials, tint they both receive the same salary, which alone would not suffice to keep them in lead pencils. Augustine Freund. SEWING EXHIBIT (to Friday afternoon, Dec. 7, there will be an exhibition of all garments made this yfear by the different sewing classes. This exhibit will be held in room 12 of the annex. Anyone, especially the mothers of the girls taking sewing, that is interested in the work is invited to attend. The afternoon sewing class meets at 2:30 and those desiring to may visit this class. The sewing classes have been very busy and have made numerous garments. All these will be on exhibition. We urge that all those interested in the work will visit the sewing exhibit and inspect the work the girls have done. The sewing I class is remodeling dresses. Taking in consideration that this is the first remodeling problem the class has had, the dresses are coming along very well. Elizabeth Vogt. GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The G. G.

The juniors and sophomores have organised their teams and have elected their captains and managers, which are as follows: Juniors--Captain, Mildred Zuelsdorf; manager, Lillian Buss. Sophomores--Captain, Clara .Barbian; manager, Lillian Baurs. The teams have taken up their work of organizing their line-ups, but have not as yet decided upon permanent positions for each member. Practice consists of 46 minute periods two nights each week. Miss Stockebrand, who has charge of home economics, also has charge of the girls' athletics and is developing some of the best girls' teams that have ever played on the McHenry floor. The juniors and sophomores usually have a pretty speedy game, but the seniors are a little backward. However, with a little more practice they should be an equal rival for any of the Lillian Buss. SENIOR SCHOOL NOTES Pamela informed us in Spanish that she has an arm. How wonderful. We have been told that Carolyn has "dark white" hair. Is that the latest for blond? Pamela, trying to recollect dates: MI thought it was the 11th, but when I looked at the thermometer " (hearty giggles). Mr. WellB-. "The Glee club girls will now pass." (Ralph gets up and begins to walk out). "Mr. Clemens, are you a girl?" Sounds from Latin III on Nov. ^7 Foiled! Baffled! Betrayed. goodness sake, what is . the with that class?) The Latin III class are trying to understand what Cicero meant by "dancing orations, clownish bankrupts shining with perfume. The American history class is very much interested in the ^arguments by Miss Pryor and Leo concerning Wood row Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt. Those unexpected fire drills are ^ qttite a trial to our freshmen. They L were all found leaving the building .with frightened facial expressions last Wednesday and both arms quite ^^ecupied with books, ink, paper and "pencils. Bright sayings of seniors: Miss Ashburner: Florence, what caty-did?" Florence: "A caty-did is a bird." Miss Pryor: "Of whom was John Quincy Adams the son?" Bright pupil: "Of his father." Some deligent seniors have found ant, for the benefit of the community, that there are only 3 5-7 weeks or 26 or 624 hours or 87,440 minutes or 2,246,400 seconds until Santa Claus comes.

Everybody deep breath once more. Some girls have five or six barcelets from the ten cent store. With these they try to give us orchestra music. A history book has lain on Miss I'ryor's desk for two weeks. The owner never has his lesson. We wonder why. The freshman class was organized. Bernard Kinsala was elected president and Winnie Bylsma, secretary and treasurer. Some freshmen are so green that they don't know when to stop after giving a theme in English, but have pause awhile and then say "That's and how could it help but be a success with Miss Ashburner as its director. The glee club made their first public appearance last Friday during convocation period. The selection rendered was "The Song and the Breeze." They are starting work on an operetta entitled "Gypsy Revor," to be given in the near future. Orchestra At present the orchestra consists of sixteen instruments. However, we do inot believe it has its full capacity as yet for each week brings a new memj ber to the organization. They are doling splendid work and at present are preparing the overture, "Bright and Gay," by Mackie Beyer, and are hoping to have it ready for presentation sometime before Christmas. At present there are a few towns people who assist the orchestra when it meets and the students as well as Director Tallmadge appreciate the help of these added instruments. , Floribel Bassett.

This also is a subject which often needs discussion, so let us have trial at it now. * As we go to other schools we always note that there are two kinds of schools. In the one we find every pupil boosting every activity in which the school is engaged. You hear on this side what a good team they have; on that side what a splendid glee club; on the other side how their debate team won from a neighboring town and so on. Everybody you meet is boosting. There * likely are some things in the school which are not the best, but if there are one never hears about them. And then there is another school. Their team you hear the boys have lost every game so far. Their building is the worst in this end of the state. Their glee club is a terror, etc., etc. Yet if you were to compare the two schools from the outside you would find practically t^e same conditions existing. Which school would ypu sooner attend? Which school in the long run will be the more successful? Which school will turn out thp better citizens? You can easily answer. Here goes for a school paper each week. What are you going to say about it? "Worst ever. Hebron's paper beats it a mile?" or "Fine, look at those jokes. Isn't that splendid" and "Just wait until next week and see how much better we do." Let's be boosters. Anybody can knock, but it takes a man to boost. Let's show the community what school apirit means. Marjory Whiting.
