MARY'S St. Mary's Catholic church •» this city on Tuesday morning of this week wffs the scene of an occasion never before witnessed within its walls, the occasion having been the reading of his first mass by Rev. Robert Freund, C. P., who was ordained into the priesthood at the Cathedral church at Wichita, Kans., on Sunday, June 7. Rev. Freund is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank J. Freund of this city and bears the distinction of being the first young man from St. Mary's parish to be ordained into the priesthood and also .the first to read his first mass in that beautiful edifice. It was in 1915 that he first decided to prepare himself for the priesthood and that fall saw him enter Mt. Calvary, Wis., where he spent three years' in the classic course. In 1918 he entered Holy Cross college at Cincinnati and after one year at this institution he went to Louisville, Ky., where he studied one year at Novitiate Sacred Heart. During the following year he studied at St. Francis Retreat at St. Paul, Kans., and from there went to Chicago where he put in two years at the Immaculate Conception Retreat. He then returned to Cincinnati for one year and the last two years were passed at St. Paul, Kans., where he completed MB studies and WAS ordained as mentioned above. The ceremonies and reading of his first mass hrt-e on Tuekday morning proved a very impressive event and was witnessed by a congregation which numbered well in excess of five hundred people. A procession formed in front and within the parish house a Ad slowly wended its way to the foot of the altar of St. Mary's was a most impressive sight. Leading this procession were thirty-three altar boys followed by little girls, priests and relatives. The order in which they marched was as follows: Altar boys, little girls dressed in snowy white, priests, the page, Lorin Rothermel, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. J. Rothermel of this city and a cousin to Rev. Freund; flower girl, little Lorraine Freund, the priest's sister; little Mildred Freund, also a sister, acted as the bride and was truly a picture to behold. She was gowned in a long white dress and wreath and carried the pillow and wreath used in in a long white dress and carried the pillow and wreath used in such a ceremony. Her gown was of crepe de chine and she also carried a bouquet of sweet peas. Immediately following her in the procession were Rev. Freund and members of his. family and near relatives. The procession entered the church and proceeded up the main aisle to the foot of the altar to the strains of the pipe organ beautifully played by the church organist, Sister Cantia. On Rev. Freund's arrival at the foot of the altar he entoned the Veni Creator which was taken up by the choir and thence started the celebration of tie mass. The beautiful interior of St. Mary's with its snowy white altars, lighted candles, electrical display, together with the big congregation present never before presented such an inspiring sight. Amid all this beautiful setting Rev. Freund read his first mass. Assisting Rev. Freund were Rev. Wm. Weber of Johnsburg as arch-priest; Rev. M. J. McEvoy and Rev. John Hackett of St. Patrick's parish, McHenry, as deacon and subdeacon, respectively; Rev. Chas. S. Nix, pastor of St. Mary's as master of ceremonies, and Edwin Baer, son of Mr. and Mrs. LawreYice Baer of this city and now a student at Techney, 111., as cross bearer. Other priests who were present and occupied places at the foot of the altar were the following: Rev. H. J. Hauser of Elgin; Rev. Edward McCormick of Crystal Lake; Rev. Edward Berthold of Virgil, IU.; Revs. J. F. Schmitt and Chas. Henkel of Aurora; Rev. Jos. Brasky of Wilmot. Wis.; Rev. Wm. Dummermuth of Dixon, 111.; Revs. Albert Heinzler and J. Esser of Freeport; Rev. Gabriel, C, P., Rev. Thomas, C. P., Rev. Stainslaus, C. P., of Chicago, and brother Richard, also of Chicago. After the conclusion of the mass a procession was again formed for a march tc the parish house. Rev. Freund then' returned to the church where he conferred his blessing individually upon every member of the big congregation. This blessing consumed fully an hour. The sermon was preached by Rev. Wm. Dummermuth who, last summer, acted as assistant to Rev. Nix at St. Mary's. His sermon was one of the best and most beautiful ever heard in McHenry and, according to some of the priests who were heard to express themselves, was really a masterpiece. The gold chalice used by Rev. Freund was the gift of his grand- ORGAN RECITAL HERE JUNE 21 WORLD FAMOtJS ORGANIST TO APPEAR AT ST. MABTS • Clarence Eddy, one of the world's greatest organists, will appear at St. Mary's Catholic church in this city on Sunday evening, June 21, where he will give one of the recitals whicfi has brought him great fame both in this country and Europe. The name of Clarence Eddy is known thruout the musical world. He is recognised by the best authorities as one of the world's greatest organists, and his reputation extends from ocean to ocean. His teacher, August Haupt, the master-organist of Germany, declared that "In organ playing the performances of Mr. Eddy are worthy to be designated as eminent, and he is undoubtedly a peer of the greatest living organists." After a concert given by Mr. Eddy at the Parte exposition of 1889, Alexandre Guilmant, the most famous* French organist, paid him the following tribute: "Mr. Eddy's great virtuosity and his masterly interpretations elicited the warmest applause. We were astonished at the ease with which he was able to control the magnificent instrument >of Cavaille-Coll, knowing that he had barely a few hours in which to familiarize himself with all its resources. Mr. Eddy is a great artist, and he has won the esteem of French organists. For ourselves, we are happy to extend to him our sincerest congratulations." Following a recital given at the famous Saint Cecilia academy in Rome, Mr. Eddy was made aft?- honorary member, and among the encomiums he received was the following expression from the great composer Sgambati: "He is one of the greatest organists of the present epoch." Mr. Eddy was born in Greenfield. Mass., and began studying the pianoforte under Laura J. Billings at the age of eleven. His first lessons on the organ were from J. Guilbert Wilson two years later, after which he studied a year under Dudley Buck in Hartford, Conn. He was for two years organist of Bethany church at Montpelier, Vermont, and then went to Berlin, where he studied the organ and composition under August Haupt, and the piano under Albert Loeschhorn. After a highly successful concerttour in Germany, Austria. Switzerland and Holland, Mr. Eddy returned to this country and located in Chicago, where he became organist of the First Congregational church for two years, and later of the First Presbyterian church for seventeen years. In Chicago he gave upwards of four hundred recitals, including a series of one hundred programmes without a single repetition. This made him famous, and his reputation rapidly grew by reason of his numerous recitals all over the country, as he was called upon to dedicate new organs in nearly every state of the union. He has probably opened more new organs than any other living organist. Mr. Eddy has been identified officially with every important exposition since the one at Vienna in 1873; namely those at Philadelphia in 1876, Paris in 1889, Chicago in 1893 with twentyone recitals, Buffalo in 1901, St. Louis in 1904, Jamestown in 1907 with six recitals, and San Francisco ift 1915 with over forty recitals. « Mr. Eddy's repertoire comprises practically everything written for the organ, as well as hundreds of manuscripts which have been dedicated to him. His four Organ Collections, published by Edward Schuberth & Co^of New York, and one by the Oliver Ditson company of Boston, are extensively used thruout the United States, while his "Method For The Organ" in two volumes, just published by the John Church company of Cincinnati, will shortly be followed by "Standard Compositions for The Organ" in two vol umes, with special interpretative annotations.

The Polly Prim tavern, located one block south of the Fox river bridge, has opened its second season and meals are again being served there at all hours. The place, under the management of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Pouliot, bids fair to enjoy a very successful season judging from the fine crowd entertained there over the week ends. The very best of service together with the best to be bought in the way of food are certain to popularise the tavern more extensively this year than last and if these two factors will do it, the Polly Prim will most certainly enjoy her share of the patronage during the 1925 season. Dances will be conducted at the place on Saturday and Sunday evenings when an admission charge of 25c the person will be made. On all other days there will be no admission or cover charge. A charge of 10c a dance will also be made. The Polly Prim orchestra has again been engaged and will furnish the music for the occasion. A very fine crowd was entertained there last Saturday and Sunday evenings. MAIN STREET PAVING OPENS NEXT SATURDAY The new cement paving on Main land Front streets will be opened to travel at noon next Saturday and from then on that thorofare will again present its former live and active appearance. It has been several weeks since Main street has been closed and to say the least the opening will be welcomed by everyone. Altho confronted by unforseen obstacles the contractors made very good time in preparing the bed and constructing this permanent road and with the ideal weather conditions that have existed almost from the very start of activities the road is considered one of the best jobs put in by any paving contractor in many a day. The material used is also of the very best and it should, junder ordinary wear, last long after the present generation has passed on. MOTHERS' CLUB MET AT WOODMAN HALb FRIDAY The regular meeting of the newly organized Mothers' club of this city occurred at Woodman hall last Friday aftQfnoon but on account of the extreme heat the meeting was not very well attended and consequently was not as profitable or enjoyable as those in the past.

Miss Elizabeth Vogt gave the salutatory in a very pleasing manner, coming friends, parents and others' present to the exercises. She spoke as follows: Salutatory - ^ Mr. Speaker, Mr. Duker, TeadMMk £ Parents, and Friends: We, the class of 1925 of the McHenry community^ high school, welcome you to these exercises on our graduation day. This is a joyful'day in our lives, a day which finds for us something accomplished, something done, and we are glad to have you here, to mark the day with us. We are especially happy to have lids opportunity to welcome our parents and friends, and to thank them for this school and all the advantages it has held for us. We know that all these advantages have been given to us by great effort and sacrifice on the part of the people of McHenry. We wish to tell you that we deeply app*^... ciate what has been done for us, and that we are proud to be the first graduates of the new high school. The ogdjf way in which we can show our grilitude is by remaining loyal to McHenry high school; by being worthy citizens of McHenry, and by doing for those who come after us what you have done for us. These things we will try to do. We welcome you to the graduation day exercises of the class of 1925. Elizabeth Vogti, v t; Following this came another voasi number by the mixed quartet. Their contribution, which was equally as well received as their first, was "Bedowin Love Song." The address of the evening by Dr. Saltiel was next in order and to say the least his oration was one of the best and most interesting heard in Mc- • Henry on a like occasion in many years. Of course he had his message to the members of the class but one of . the things that held his audience at rapt attention thruout his entire discourse was his survey, from personal observation, of the manner that things are handled by our lawyers and courts of today. He cited some of the mure recent important criminal cases heard in the city of Chicago in pointing out the non-respect of our laws and the manner in which the cases are handled after an arrest has been effected. The address was just a bit different from those usually heard on an occasion of this sort, but none the less interesting and instructive. One would never til* listening to this able speaker and those who heard him were accorded a real treat, to say the least. A warm applause greeted the speaker after he concluded his talk and retired to Ms seat, thus evidencing the audience's appreciation of his address and thsv approval of what he had said. •Then You Will Remember Me" was the next number on the program and was very pleasingly presented by the school orchestra, an organization which has been the pride of the student body as also the patrons and friends of the school during the year just doeed. This musical organization and their able directors are entitled to all of the good things that are being said about them and while some of the members will be among the missing next year* the school will be able to boast of jsst as good a musical organization. The honor of presenting the valedictory was accorded Miss Ai^ela Petesch who proved herself very equal to the occasion by presenting this number in a manner that pleased everyone in the large aiiditopiiiyi^^to , message was a* follows: ^ Valedktsay . Honorable Mr. Speaker, Mr. Duker, " faculty, classmates, parents and friends: It gives us great happiness to have you here with us tonight to share with Go t* Nye's for gifts.
